Leader of the Baloch tribe, Nawab Akbar Bugti, killed on August 26 by security forces, was buried at his ancestral graveyard at Dera Bugti in Balochistan on September 1. The funeral prayer was led by a cleric from the Bugti tribe who identified Bugti's remains, and no heirs of Bugti were present at the funeral. Officials said that Bugti's relatives were contacted for attending the funeral, but they demanded handing over the body to the heirs. Bugti's relatives reportedly wanted an open funeral for Bugti in Quetta and refused to attend the funeral after their demand for being given the body was turned down.

According to Daily Times, Pukhtoon militants who fought against the US-led invasion of Afghanistan have formed a new anti-Shia militant group, according to investigators inquiring into the assassination of Shia leader Allama Hassan Turabi. Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials had reportedly learnt of the new group from interrogations of three men arrested for suspicion of involvement in the prominent Shia cleric’s murder in Karachi. The FIA team, headed by its Director General, Tariq Pervaiz, has sent a report to the Interior Ministry detailing its findings. The suspects, Sultan Mehmood alias Saifullah, Mohammad Amin alias Khalid and Mohammad Rehman alias Mani, told investigators the group was planning suicide attacks against Shia leaders, says the report. The new militant group is led by Mufti Ilyas and Hazrat Ali of Darra Adam Khel. Its members include men who recently fought against US forces in Afghanistan, and have links with Abdullah Mehsud, the militant leader responsible for the attack on Chinese engineers at the Gomal Zam Dam site, and other militants from Waziristan and Afghanistan. It also includes some women members. The report says that the new group has no links with any other militant groups, including the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), and is active in Quetta, Karachi and other major cities in Pakistan. It also says the group has established a supply line of weapons and ammunition between Darra Adam Khel and Karachi.

Troops vacated four checkpoints and two Government buildings at Miranshah in North Waziristan on September 3 after local militants reached an understanding with the Government to restore peace, according to Dawn.

Taliban militants signed a peace agreement with the Government on September 5, pledging not to launch cross-border attacks in Afghanistan and not to shelter foreign fighters, according to Daily Times. The agreement aims to end two years of violence in North Waziristan, where hundreds of people have died in clashes between security forces and Taliban militants. The Taliban had been observing a unilateral cease-fire since June 2006. Taliban representative Azad Khan and North Waziristan chief administrator Fakhar-e-Alam signed the agreement in Miranshah, in the presence of army commander Major General Azhar Ali Shah. “Misunderstandings between the administration and Taliban led to unpleasant moments, but we are happy that a new beginning starts today,” parliamentarian Maulana Nek Zaman of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal said at the ceremony, witnessed by around 500 tribesmen. A 10-member committee of tribal elders, clerics and administration officials was set up to monitor the progress and implementation of the agreement, a Government statement read. Under the agreement, the Taliban accepted the Government demand that cross-border attacks would not be launched nor foreign militants sheltered. They also agreed not to attack Government buildings or security forces, and not to conduct “target killings” of Government servants, tribal elders and journalists. In return, the Government agreed to stop air and ground operations; return all weapons and other material seized during operations; restore privileges of tribesmen; and remove all check-posts.

A peace deal between Pakistan and pro-Taliban militants does not give “safe haven” to terrorists who may be hiding on tribal lands near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, US President George W Bush said in an interview on September 7, according to Daily Times. “I don’t read it that way,” Bush said of the agreement signed on September 5 in which the militants agreed to stop attacks in the region. “What he is doing is entering agreements with governors in the regions of the country, in the hopes that there would be an economic vitality, there will be alternatives to violence and terror,” Bush said in an ABC News interview. Bush said he did not know all the details of the agreement but added that he would be seeing Musharraf “pretty soon”. “You know, we are watching this very carefully, obviously,” Bush noted.

President Pervez Musharraf on September 7 publicly acknowledged that Al Qaeda and Taliban militants were crossing from Pakistan to launch attacks inside Afghanistan, stressing that such actions were neither Government- nor ISI- (Inter-Services Intelligence) sponsored, according to Daily Times. In an address in Kabul attended by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, General Musharraf said: “There are Qaeda and Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Certainly they are crossing from (the) Pakistan side and causing bomb blasts and terrorist activities in your country.” However, he claimed, “Let me say neither the government of Pakistan nor ISI is involved in any kind of interference inside Afghanistan.” Saying that both sides had to now end the “blame game”, he urged Kabul to work with Islamabad on a new strategy to combat the Taliban. According to a joint statement issued by the Pakistani Foreign Office at the conclusion of Gen. Musharraf’s two-day visit to Afghanistan, the leaders had agreed to consolidate relations between the two countries. They agreed that extremism, terrorism and the phenomenon of Talibanisation were a common threat to Afghanistan, Pakistan and the region.

The North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Governor Ali Mohammad Jan Aurakzai has ruled out withdrawal of the army from North Waziristan, and said troops will remain along the Afghan border to check infiltration, according to Dawn. “The peace agreement is by no means meant to pull back army from the area; the troops will remain there,” Aurakzai told the media on September 8. He rejected an impression that the Government had signed a deal with militants or the local Taliban. “We have not signed any agreement with the Taliban; this is a deal between the government and the Utmanzai tribe,” he said in reply to a question. He said that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and others had been excluded from the amnesty offered to foreigners living in the tribal area. About the number of foreigners in the area, he informed that exact figures were not available but they might be in hundreds. Governor Aurakzai did not agree with a suggestion that the army had failed to curb militancy in North Waziristan and opted for dialogue after suffering heavy losses. “Operations were successful and the army had killed many terrorists in the area. But certainly, the military operations had caused collateral damage due to which militants had gained sympathies of the common tribesmen who lost their relatives and property,” he stated. He also disclosed that compensation was being paid to the affected people in South Waziristan and the government had sanctioned Rs230 million for the purpose.

Power supply to 15 of the 29 districts of Balochistan, including capital Quetta, was disrupted after four pylons supporting two transmission lines in Mach were blown up by the insurgents on September 10-night, according to Dawn. According to the Quetta Electric Supply Company (Qesco), saboteurs planted explosives round four pylons of 220kv Uch-Sibi-Quetta transmission line and 132kv Sibi-Mach-Quetta line and detonated it. The blast blew up the huge towers plunging more than half of Balochistan province into darkness. “The power supply to 28 out of 55 grid stations was affected and with blowing up of four towers Qesco is facing a shortage of 300MW electricity,” Qesco spokesman Jabrail Khan said. “Restoration of the two transmission lines will take at least two weeks to complete,” Khan said, adding that Qesco would suffer a daily loss of PKR 30 million until the supply was restored. The affected districts include Quetta, Kalat, Mastung, Khuzdar, Kharan, Nushki, Chagai, Pishin, Qila Abdullah, Zhob and Sherani.

Two bomb explosions occurred at two markets in the Bannu city of North West Frontier Province on September 11, damaging several video shops. “Several video shops, including a videogame shop, were damaged when two explosions targeted two different markets in the early hours of Monday,” District Police Officer Muhammad Iqbal Khan told Daily Times. He said he believed that pro-Taliban militants were behind the attacks, given that three months ago, shop owners of “un-Islamic” businesses, such as those selling music or videos, were told to shut down or else face the consequences. Deputy Nazim Fakhruddin Khan also believed that the blasts were the work of pro-Taliban elements.

President Pervez Musharraf has blamed the West for breeding terrorism in his country by bringing in thousands of Mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and then leaving Pakistan alone a decade later to face the armed warriors, according to Daily Times. Gen. Musharraf told the European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee in Brussels on September 12 that Pakistan was not the intolerant, extremist country often portrayed by the West, and terrorism and extremism were not inherent in Pakistani society. “Whatever extremism or terrorism is in Pakistan is a direct fallout of the 26 years of warfare and militancy around us. It gets back to 1979 when the West, the United States and Pakistan waged a war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan,” Musharraf told EU lawmakers. “We launched a jihad, brought in Mujahideen from all over the Muslim world, the US and the West… We armed the Taliban and sent them in; we did it together. In 1989 everyone left Pakistan with 30,000 armed Mujahideen who were there, and the Taliban who were there,” he said, adding that Pakistan had “paid a big price for being part of the coalition that fought the Soviet Union.” Musharraf claimed that the scourge of terrorism had been eliminated from Pakistan and that efforts were underway to root out extremism, but this would take time. He also reportedly warned the West that Taliban insurgents were a more dangerous terrorist force than Al Qaeda because of the broad support they had in Afghanistan, Reuters reported. “The centre of gravity of terrorism has shifted from Al Qaeda to the Taliban,” he told EU lawmakers, adding, “This is a new element, a more dangerous element, because it (the Taliban) has its roots in the people. Al Qaeda didn’t have roots in the people.”

The United States (U.S.) indicated that the agreement the Government signed with pro-Taliban tribal chiefs in North Waziristan on September 5 has the ‘potential to work’, according to Dawn. In a speech at the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher endorsed the deal as an effort to get tribal support to defeat terrorism. He declared that no country had done more than Pakistan in the war against terror. Noting that the Government had carved out a new strategy to deal with the cross-border activities of Taliban and Al Qaeda, Boucher said: “The agreement really has the potential to work.” The U.S., he said, understood that to effectively control the Afghan border, Pakistan needed “cooperation from local tribes and they are really trying to get in.”

AFP reported on September 18 that a Pakistani Government printing press in Quetta, capital of Balochistan province, is reportedly churning out large quantities of counterfeit Indian currency. The rupee notes are then smuggled into India as "part of Pakistan's agenda of destabilising the Indian economy through fake currency," according to Times of India. The notes are "supplied by the Pakistan government press free of cost to Dubai-based counterfeiters who, in turn, smuggle it into India using various means," the report said quoting a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) note to Indian security agencies and the finance ministry. It also mentioned how fake currency notes were concealed in music systems, crockery boxes and washing machines, and sent to India through 'carrier' air passengers who were paid Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 for carrying a consignment from Dubai and other Gulf countries. The CBI also reportedly mentions Bangkok as a major centre of fake Indian currency notes production — smuggled into India through Nepal and Bangladesh. The Reserve Bank of India has estimated the amount of fake currency in circulation at almost 1.7 trillion rupees (37.5 billion dollars), the report said.

A British Pakistani facing trial for allegedly plotting to blow up Houses of Parliament and other high-profile targets in Britain has reportedly refused to give further evidence claiming, that he fears for the safety of his family in Pakistan who have been contacted by that country's external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), after his testimony at Old Bailey last week, according to The Hindu. 24-year old Omar Khyam, who was to continue his testimony this week about his activities in Pakistan in 2000, told the court: "Before we go on to that topic, I just want to say the ISI in Pakistan has had words with my family relating to what I have been saying about them… I think they are worried I might reveal more about them, so right now, as much as I want to clarify matters, the priority for me has to be the safety of my family so I am going to stop... I am not going to discuss anything related to the ISI any more or the evidence." Khyam and six others, including his younger brother Shujah-Ud-Din Mahmood (18), were arrested in March 2004 for allegedly conspiring to cause explosions likely to endanger life. They were arrested after 600 kg of fertiliser, which police claimed was meant to make bombs, was found in a west London depot. They were accused of discussing of bombing public places including pubs and nightclubs. Last week, Khyam told the court that ISI was training militants and during his visit to Pakistan six years ago he trained in an ISI-supervised camp. "The ISI was setting up camps in what we called Free Kashmir, funding it with money and weapons and people that would train people, and logistical supplies, everything,'' he said. According to Khyam, the people who trained him in handling arms were "selected by the ISI.” "The ISI works with Islamic groups,'' he added.

President Pervez Musharraf told the UN General Assembly on September 19 that a resolution of the Kashmir issue is “within reach”, and expressed confidence that his meeting with the Indian prime minister in the Cuban capital Havana would help carry the peace process forward, according to Daily Times. “Pakistan wants a peaceful environment in the region,” and has been engaged in a peaceful process with India aimed at confidence building and resolving issues, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, the president said in his address to the 61st session of the General Assembly. Gen Musharraf said a stable security environment is important for peace in the region. Pakistan, he added, had proposed the creation of a strategic restraint regime in South Asia. “We do not want to enter into an arms race. But we will do whatever is necessary to preserve the credibility of our minimum defensive deterrence level.” Gen Musharraf also said that peace and stability in Afghanistan is in Pakistan’s interest, as it would allow the country to realise its ambition of linking Central Asia and South Asia through Afghanistan and Pakistan. “Afghanistan confronts complex security, political and economic challenges including a resurgent Taliban who also threaten Pakistan’s efforts against extremism and terrorism. The common challenge imposes a joint responsibility on Pakistan, Afghanistan and the coalition forces,” he added. The president said that problems along the regions bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan were compounded by the continuing presence of over three million Afghan refugees, “some of them sympathetic to the Taliban”. He opined that old and new conflicts had spawned a deep sense of desperation and injustice across the Muslim world. “Unless we end foreign occupation and suppression of Muslim peoples, terrorism and extremism will continue to find recruits among alienated Muslims in various parts of the world,” he stated.

The declaration strongly condemned the killing of Jamhoori Watan Party chief Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and demanded that the cause of his death be ascertained through an international medical board.

The United States threatened to bomb Pakistan “back to the stone age” in 2001 unless it cooperated in the US-led war on terror, President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview released on September 21, according to Daily Times. Gen. Musharraf said the threat came from former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. He said the comments were delivered to his intelligence director, according to selected transcripts of the interview with CBS television’s “60 Minutes” investigative news programme due to be broadcast on September 24. “The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, ‘Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the stone age’,” Musharraf said. “I think it was a very rude remark… One has to think and take actions in the interests of the nation, and that’s what I did,” Musharraf reportedly said in the interview. Armitage’s alleged threat also demanded that Pakistan turn over border posts and bases for the US military to use in the war in Afghanistan. Other “ludicrous” demands required Pakistan to suppress domestic expressions of support for militant attacks on US targets, according to the CBS. The White House on September 21 declined to comment on President Musharraf’s charge.

According to Daily Times, a French newspaper quoted a French secret service report on September 23 as saying that Saudi Arabia was convinced that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan during August 2006. L’Est Republicain printed what it called a copy of the report dated September 21, and said it was shown to President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and the French interior and defence ministers on the same day. “According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama Bin Laden is dead,” the document said. “The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of Al Qaeda was a victim while he was in Pakistan on August 23 of a very serious case of typhoid, which led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs,” it added. The report, which was stamped with a “confidential defence” label and the French secret service’s initials, said Saudi Arabia first heard the information on September 4, and it was waiting for more details before making an official announcement. Meanwhile, Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said, “The report on Osama’s death in Pakistan is totally baseless.” He said there was no possibility that the al Qaeda chief was treated for typhoid in Pakistan.

Over 1,000 trained Kashmiri militants are "currently stranded" in three camps of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in the Hazara region of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), a Press Trust of India report quoted the Pakistan-based Herald magazine. "Of these, the Hisari and Batrasi camps are located in Mansehra district while a third camp is located in Boi in district Abbottabad," Herald reported. It quoted unnamed sources to say that thousands of other terrorists were confined in camps run by half a dozen smaller Kashmiri groups or predominantly Pakistani outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Al-Badr Mujahideen in the frontier and Pakistan occupied Kashmir regions. The report quoted an unnamed Islamabad-based militant leader as saying that the top brass of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had "conveyed to the Kashmiri militant leaders in January 2006 that they should not even think of crossing the Line of Control (LoC), armed or unarmed." It said the official funding traditionally made up the "bulk" of the financial inflows of these groups. Quoting "knowledgeable sources", the Herald said "until recently”, small groups like the Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Umar Mujahideen, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Fatah, Al-Jihad, Al-Barq, Tehrik-e-Jihad, and Islamic Front were receiving between 400,000 and 700,000 rupees a month. "Large organisations like HM, LeT, JeM, Al-Badr Mujahideen and others received more money, ranging between two to three million rupees," it said. "This was in addition to the funds that paid for the logistics, communication equipment, weapons, explosives, food and trekking kits for the thousands of militants, guides and porters who infiltrated," into Jammu and Kashmir.

The Government on September 23 denied a report by a British newspaper that the peace agreement in Waziristan was endorsed by Taliban chief Mullah Omar. “There is no truth to the story. We strongly deny that the peace deal with the tribesmen was signed with the consent of Mullah Omar. There was no outsider involved in the agreement,” Senator Tariq Azeem, state Minister for Information, told Daily Times. British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the fugitive Mullah Omar signed a letter explicitly endorsing the truce announced on September 5. “Had they been not asked by Mullah Omar, none of them were willing to sign an agreement,” said Lateef Afridi, a tribal elder and former National Assembly member.

A full bench of the Supreme Court on September 25 upheld the death sentence of 12 people found guilty of involvement in two assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf in 2003, Daily Times reported. A military court had sentenced the 12 convicts to death. The Lahore High Court earlier rejected an appeal from the convicts, ruling that it did not have the jurisdiction to overturn the verdict of a military court. “For reasons to be recorded later, the impugned order of the Lahore High Court is maintained; consequently the appeals are dismissed,” said an order passed by the Supreme Court. The 12 convicts are Khalid Mehmood, Nawazish Ali, Niaz Muhammad and Adnan Rasheed (personnel of the Pakistan Air Force); Arshad Hussain (Pakistan Army); and Rashid Qureshi, Ikhlas Ahmad, Ghulam Sarwar Bhatti, Zubair Ahmad, Rana Naveed Ahmad, Aamir Suhail and Mushtaq Ahmad (civilians).

Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam dismissed reports about the presence of Taliban leadership in Pakistan, according to The News. “Taliban are in Afghanistan and the insurgency is deep inside Afghanistan, far away from Pakistan’s borders,” she said during a press briefing in Islamabad on September 25. She also rejected reports that the agreement between the tribal and local authorities in Waziristan was at the behest of the fugitive Taliban chief Mullah Omar. “It is absolutely baseless,” she said and added that the deal particularly binds the tribal from traveling across the border into Afghanistan for acts of terror. About the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, she said, “We have no information about his coordinates, we have no information whether he is dead or alive.”

President Pervez Musharraf has written that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secretly paid his Government millions of dollars for handing over hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to the United States, according to Daily Times. He makes the disclosure in his book, In the Line of Fire (which was released on September 25), but he does not specify the exact amount paid by the CIA. British newspaper The Times quotes the US Department of Justice as saying, “We didn’t know about this. It should not happen. These bounty payments are for private individuals who help to trace terrorists on the FBI’s most wanted list, not foreign governments.”

President Pervez Musharraf on September 26 rejected NATO security assessments that Taliban’s headquarters was in Quetta, capital of Balochistan province, according to Daily Times. “Anyone who says this is wrong. This is the most ridiculous statement,” he said, adding that Pakistan did not have financial resources to support the Taliban who, he said, were being financed by poppy growers. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations after the formal launch of his book In The Line of Fire, Musharraf said Afghan President Hamid Karzai didn’t understand the environment in his country and said that the Taliban could not be defeated only by force. He criticised President Karzai for claiming that militants hiding in Pakistan’s tribal areas were behind the rise in violence in Afghanistan. “The sooner President Karzai understands his own country, the better,” Gen. Musharraf said, adding that the Afghan president was to be blamed for “disenfranchising” the Pushtoons, who make up a majority of the Afghan population.

The local Taliban have set up their office in Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan, for ‘curbing crimes and anti-social activities’ in the area, according to Dawn. Announcements were made and pamphlets distributed in the town on September 27, asking residents to co-operate with the Taliban in keeping peace in the area. The office has reportedly been set up on the premises of the main bus stand in Miranshah. The Taliban Shura has appointed a committee to run the office. “There is complete lawlessness in the area and crimes have increased. So after the peace accord Taliban have set up office to serve residents of the area and restore peace,” read one pamphlet, referring to the agreement signed between the Government and the Taliban on September 5. Another leaflet posted around Miranshah said clerics would be collecting funds to pay for a force aimed at protecting people from criminals. The Taliban have imposed ban on the movement of ‘masked men’ in the agency and asked people to inform them if anybody found moving about in the area with his face covered. The pamphlet said that if an incident of robbery, dacoity or any other criminal act occurred in the area, people should immediately contact the Taliban by phone or lodge a complaint at their office.

Unidentified gunmen killed two militants and injured three others near Wana in South Waziristan on September 27, according to Daily Times. No one claimed responsibility for the incident, but an area intelligence official said the attack may have been linked with rivalry between pro-Taliban tribal militants and a group of Uzbek fighters. The attacked militants were believed to be loyal to a pro-Taliban tribesman known as Hanan, who had started a campaign to oust Uzbek militants living in the Shakai mountain valley region north of Wana, an intelligence official said.

Balochistan continues to remain the hub of illegal detentions and mysterious disappearances of political activists and family members of political leaders, Daily Times has reported. According to unofficial estimates, around 3,000 political activists, relatives of political leaders and ordinary citizens of Balochistan are being detained by intelligence agencies. Relatives of those detained usually have no information on the whereabouts of their kith and kin and the Government has also not registered any cases against the detained suspects. Official sources said that scores of suspected terrorists, primarily Baloch supporters of the Balochistan Liberation Army, are in Government custody due to their alleged involvement in militant activity in the province. Some of these suspects have reportedly been missing for years. The extra-judicial arrests also include journalists and relatives of political leaders. “Such tactics are applied by the government to emotionally blackmail politicians and divert attention from their political struggle,” Kachkol Baloch, leader of the opposition in the Balochistan Assembly, told Daily Times.
