According to Daily Star, investigations into the largest arms smuggling case in Chittagong have indicated that some ruling alliance leaders were in charge of handling the consignment after its delivery at high sea from a cargo ship bound for Chittagong port. The intelligence officials have reportedly alleged that labour leader Dil Mohammad who is linked to Jamaat-e-Islami employed workers at Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Limited jetty on the Karnaphuli to offload the arms from two fishing trawlers and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Hafiz Mohammad supervised the clandestine operation. Customs officials are also examining the documents of three vessels -- two fishing trawlers and a ship owned by a top BNP leader -- believed to have been used in the smuggling. A local BNP legislator's brother is alleged to have been instrumental in the transport of the cache after its delivery. He is suspected to be running a large smuggling syndicate on Anwara and Patiya coasts allegedly in collusion with law enforcement agencies.

The Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), a member of Bangladesh’s ruling coalition, has denied it is running "11 secret arms training camps" across the country. The Pakistani newspaper Daily Times quoting an AFP report said that the claims, made by leader of Bangladesh’s main opposition Awami League party, Sheikh Hasina Wajed, were denied by Jamaat as being "malicious" and "untrue." Sheikh Hasina told reporters on April 6 following a tour of the south of the country that JeI had 11 camps spread across Bangladesh. "We don’t know why they have these camps, but we are very concerned," Abdul Jalil, the Awami League’s general secretary said on April 8. "Whether it is for gaining power or for an Islamic revolution is the big question," he told AFP. However, Social Welfare Minister and JeI Secretary General, Ali Ahsan Mujahid, denied these accusations.

According to The Hindu, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has claimed that a three-pronged offensive on the expelled military commander, Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias 'Colonel' Karuna made it possible for the main group to retake rebel-held Batticaloa region. "Our forces encircled the rebel forces in Vakarai, Kathiraveli and Verugal. When we informed them that they could join us without fear, the Karuna group cadres came over to our side," the LTTE’s political head for Batticaloa-Amparai, Kousalyan, told journalists in the east on April 12, said a report in the TamilNet website. Kousalyan, who was retained as the political head of the two eastern districts despite the split, claimed that 1,500 cadres of Karuna's group rejoined the LTTE on April 9, when the offensive started. The operation was explained by Kousalyan as a "retrieving duty" that was "well-planned" by the LTTE chief Prabhakaran and "executed" by T. Ramesh, who was appointed as ‘special commander’ for the two districts on March 9, when the LTTE expelled Karuna.

According to the New Indian Express, alleging growing contradiction and dishonesty in the left-wing extremist movement, a front-ranking ideologue of the proscribed People's War Group (PWG), Pilla Venkateshwar Rao alias Gautam, who carried a reward of Rupees 10 lakh on his head, surrendered to the police in Andhra Pradesh on April 15. Speaking to the media in the State capital Hyderabad, Rao said that he decided to quit the PWG, with which he had a 22 year association, as he was disillusioned with the functioning and policies of its leadership. Rao, a 46-year-old lecturer by profession, is reported to have handled ‘political classes’ for the PWG cadre across the country for the past two decades. "I have lost faith in the present leadership due to political dishonesty, stifling and inherent contradictions. The party has been continuously losing its mass base in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh right from 1999, while the focus has been only on militarisation of cadre. In the given circumstances, I do not think the revolution will ever succeed," claimed Rao.

Police sources said on April 15 that two suicide attackers who killed 47 persons during a Shia procession at Liaquat Bazaar in Quetta, capital of Baluchistan, on March 2 belonged to the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terrorist outfit. The Hizb is one the largest terrorist groups active in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. Rehmatullah Niazi, a police investigator, was quoted as saying in Daily Times that the two attackers were Abdul Nabi and Hidayatullah Mengal from Kalat, a town approximately 150 kilometers south of Quetta. "Families of the two men said they belonged to Hizb, but they had been out of contact with them for the last six months," added Niazi. Meanwhile, Salim Hashmi, the Hizb spokesperson, said it was "baseless" to link his group with the massacre. "It is impossible that anyone involved in sectarian violence could be associated with Hizb… This is out of the question," claimed Hashmi.

This was stated by Foreign Office spokesperson Masood Khan during a weekly news briefing in Islamabad on April 19. Khan rejected Khalilzad’s allegations that Pakistan was not doing enough to check the activities of Al Qaeda and Taliban. "The expression ‘do more’ is trite. Pakistan is doing more than enough… It would be very helpful if he does a little less by talking less. He seems to be suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder," said Khan. He added that Khalizad was violating the third country principle. "It is strange that he is working hard to create misunderstanding between the US and Pakistan.

A suspected Pakistani terrorist, arrested in Australia, was reportedly plotting to black out the nation’s largest city Sydney with a bomb attack on power supplies. Faheem Khalid Lodhi, arrested on April 22, planned to use a home-made bomb made of ammonium nitrate fertiliser to attack the electricity grid and was ordering the required chemicals under bogus company names. The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that Lodhi hoped to disable the grid in Sydney, creating a blackout that would cause chaos in the city of four million people. Lodhi is the second member of a suspected terrorist cell arrested in a week after 21-year-old Pakistani-born medical student Izhar-ul-Haq. Both Lodhi and Haq were arrested as a result of investigations into terrorist suspect Willie Brigitte, a French national who was deported from Australia late last year, and is being detained by authorities in France who believe that he was setting up a terrorist cell in Sydney. Both Brigitte and Haq allegedly have links to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which was designated as a terrorist organisation in Australia during November 2003.
