Six heavily-armed terrorists, who made an attempt to storm the makeshift Ram temple at the disputed Ayodhya complex in Uttar Pradesh, were shot dead by the Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF) personnel on July 5. Four CRPF personnel and two civilians, including a woman devotee, were injured in the exchange of gunfire. Uttar Pradesh Police chief Yashpal Singh said that three AK-47 and one AK-56 rifles, one carbine, one Chinese revolver and four grenades were recovered from the slain terrorists. The terrorists, whose identities are yet to be known, arrived at the incident site in the guise of devotees in an explosive-laden jeep, which they rammed into the security barricade to breach the cordon. While one terrorist who rammed the jeep was blown to pieces, five others were killed in the subsequent encounter with the CRPF personnel. One of the slain terrorists was found with explosives strapped to his body. The driver of the taxi, Rehan Alam, a resident of Ayodhya, who also got down along with the terrorists a short distance away from the barricade, was arrested and is currently being interrogated. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh described the attack as one aimed at "destabilising our society and polity." He said in New Delhi that "the Government is determined to deal firmly with all such acts" and "there will be no compromise on terrorism. Let there be no doubt on this account in anybody's mind."

Terrorist training camps in Pakistan have reportedly resumed functioning after a year-long hiatus and the old and new recruits are flocking to them notwithstanding the official ban, according to the Karachi-based Herald. Citing an example of the camps being reopened, the magazine in its cover story, said one of Pakistan’s oldest training camps at Mansehra in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) is bustling with activity after a year-long closure, as old and new cadres converged on it to resume their training. "Our transport fleet is back, electricity has been restored and communications systems are in place… Until 2001, thousands of fighters trained here for operations in Kashmir and Afghanistan," the magazine quoted a guide who conducted the correspondent around as saying. According to a top manager of the training camp in Mansehra, all the major organisations, including Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Al-Badr Mujahideen, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and others, began regrouping in April 2005 by renovating training facilities that were deserted in 2004. Contrary to official denials, the magazine said despite the ban, outfits like HM, HuM, Al-Badr Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) managed to stay in touch with their cadre in 2003-04, which was considered as their worst year.

During a meeting in Kathmandu on July 12, Communist Party of Nepal (UML) leader Jhal Nath Khanal said, "They (Maoists) must commit to multiparty democracy and convince us that they are ready to settle the problem through talks." Further, the Nepali Congress (NC) leader Ram Saran Mahat while insisting on a commitment from the Maoists to multiparty democracy said, "If they agree to join the mainstream after talks (with the parties), the King’s autocracy will be gone in a moment. Constituent assembly will be possible then." The central leader of the Nepali Congress (Democratic), Deep Kumar Upadhaya, urged the Maoists to stop targeting political workers and added, "As long as they execute physical actions against political cadres, their call to form a negotiating team will have no meaning."

The mastermind behind the July 7-terrorist attacks in London, which killed more than 50 people and injured at least 700, has reportedly been identified. The British-born man in his 30s arrived at a British port in June 2005 and left the country again the day before the attacks, according to The Times. The man is of Pakistani origin, the report said. According to the newspaper, he was involved in previous terrorist operations and has links with followers of Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network in the United States. Meanwhile, news reports have identified three Britons of Pakistani descent, the alleged suicide bombers, as Shahzad Tanweer, a 22-year-old cricket-loving sports science graduate; Hasib Hussain, aged 19; and Mohammed Sidique Khan, the 30-year-old father of an 8-month-old baby. Britain’s Press Association, citing police sources, said on July 13 that police had identified the fourth suspect but no name or details were reported. Surveillance cameras captured the four as they arrived in the capital 20 minutes before the rush-hour explosions began. In Pakistan, the Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said on July 13 in Islamabad that they would share with Britain all possible information that could help investigations into the London blasts. Asked whether there had been any arrests in Pakistan in connection with the blasts, the minister said he could not share such information with the media at this stage. But Sherpao disclosed that Pakistan had provided "intelligence information" to the British authorities and had helped them to avert a major disaster before the UK elections.

While replying to a debate on the budget of Home Department in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly on July 14, Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee said that Maoists have joined hands with their counterparts in Nepal and established a corridor through Bihar. He disclosed that they were operating in Bankura, Purulia and West Midnapore through Jharkhand. It was not possible to seal West Bengal's border with Jharkhand because of jungles and hills, he added. Giving a detailed account of the attacks on July 10 in which three leaders of the Communist Party of India were killed at Bandwan in Purulia and Barikul in Bankura districts, besides claiming the life a senior police officer, the Chief Minister said that the attack was plotted on a hilltop at Ghatsila in Jharkhand by Maoists from Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand. He also claimed: "Neither this is an extension of the Naxalite Movement nor this has any local basis. They are not local people. They are outsiders who are using some local youth in a game of bloodshed. The Maoist terrorism in Bengal is an import from Andhra Pradesh and their leaders' only agenda is to terminate people."

The British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw is reported to have expressed concern on July 14 over what goes on in some Madrassas (seminaries) in Pakistan, after it emerged that one of the London bombers had attended one. According to The News, Shahzad Tanweer, who bombed an underground subway train at Aldgate in London, had gone to a Madrassa in December 2004 to become a Hafiz (someone who has memorized the Holy Koran). "We are concerned about what goes on in some of the Madrassas in Pakistan," Straw told reporters in London. Meanwhile, officials are reportedly investigating whether Tanweer traveled to Pakistan in 2004 and stayed at a religious school in Lahore. After a four or five day stay at the Madrassa, Tanweer is believed to have traveled to Faisalabad but his reasons were not clear. However, Pakistan said that it has no evidence that the suspected British suicide bombers visited Pakistan in the recent past. "We have no knowledge that they came to Pakistan and no evidence has been shared with us to suggest that they recently traveled to Pakistan", Jalil Abbas Jilani, spokesperson at the Foreign Office told the weekly press briefing in Islamabad on July 14.

British investigators were attempting to determine whether there was a link between the London bombers and Pakistan-based cells of the Al Qaeda, said London police chief Ian Blair on July 15. Officials in Islamabad said the British police have given a list of terrorist suspects with possible links to the London attacks. "They provided us with names of certain individuals for information following the London bombing. We are checking the linkages here," an unnamed security official told AFP. According to The News, authorities in Pakistan were investigating a possible connection between one of the suicide bombers, Shahzad Tanweer, and two Al Qaeda-linked terrorist groups - the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) - and Osama Nazir, the man arrested for a 2002 attack on a church near the US Embassy. The investigation is also focusing on at least one trip that Tanweer made to Pakistan in 2004, during which he met Nazir in Faisalabad, officials said. The JeM is linked with the Jamia Manzoorul Islamia school in Lahore, which has denied British media reports that Tanweer had studied there. "We have no knowledge that anyone with the name of Shehzad Tanweer was enrolled in our Madrassa [seminary]. Our records do not confirm this name," Asadullah Farooq, son of Madrassa leader Pir Saifullah Khalid, told AFP. The Lashkar has also denied that Tanweer visited a campus formerly linked to the group in Muridke, near Lahore. "We have checked our records, no one with this name and with British nationality ever stayed there. We do not have a policy of carrying out suicide attacks on civilians," a LeT spokesperson told AFP from Lahore.

Declaring Pakistan’s firm commitment to combating extremism and terrorism, President Pervez Musharraf on July 15 directed the law-enforcement agencies to launch a countrywide drive against collection of donations, display of arms, holding of gatherings by banned outfits and remove all hate material from markets by December 2005. Speaking to Pakistan’s top police officers in Rawalpindi, Gen. Musharraf claimed that the Government would not tolerate extremism and will continue to combat terrorism with unflinching determination and force, according to The News. He also reiterated the Government’s resolve not to allow banned militant organisations to re-surface using any other name. "You must enforce an end to publication and distribution of hate material, including pamphlets, booklets, CDs etc, and writers, publishers and distributors of all such literature must be held accountable in accordance with the law. You must ensure that such material is not available in markets latest by December, this year," the President said. The President stated that the Government would not allow any militant organisation to collect donations in any form and address gatherings. "Nor will anybody be allowed to brandish weapons." he added. Pakistan, he claimed, stands at cross-roads in its history and there is an urgent need to address extremism existing on the fringes of its society.

Egyptian forces are reportedly searching for six Pakistani nationals suspected of involvement in the multiple bombings at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in which at least 88 people were killed. According to official sources, Egyptian forces surrounded two villages in the Sinai peninsula where they believe two of the Pakistani suspects were hiding. Pictures of the six Pakistanis believed to have entered Egypt in early July 2005 were distributed to police stations in the Sharm el-Sheikh area after the attacks. Their passports were reportedly found in an unspecified Sharm el-Sheikh hotel, police said, adding that one of them may have died in the bombings. Arab satellite channels said that nine Pakistanis had been staying in hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh but disappeared after the bombings early on July 23-morning, leaving their passports at reception. An official at the Pakistan Embassy in Cairo said they were in contact with Egyptian authorities on the issue of the missing Pakistanis. "But they have not officially informed us that the Pakistanis are suspected of involvement in the bombing. They are only saying: "We are searching for them. We cannot trace them," said Khalid Ahmed, a Counselor at the Pakistani mission. Meanwhile in Islamabad, a Foreign Office spokesperson said on July 25 that the Egyptian Government has not approached Pakistan over the issue of alleged linkages of Pakistani nationals with the weekend blasts at Sharm el-Sheikh.

Gen. Musharraf also confirmed that some of the London bombers had came to Pakistan for two to three months and that Pakistani security forces were investigating the purpose of their visits.

In an attack at Budshah Chowk in the heart of the capital city of Srinagar on July 29, terrorists killed two security force (SF) personnel and injured at least 18 civilians, including ten journalists, and four SF personnel. Around 5 p.m. (IST), an unspecified number of terrorists hurled a grenade on a police vehicle, which caught fire. They subsequently opened indiscriminate firing and the Police and Border Security Force (BSF) personnel posted in the area retaliated, according to The Hindu. The SFs are reported to have laid siege to the Civil Lines area to neutralise the terrorists believed to be trapped in two commercial complexes. While the gun-battle was in progress, a spokesperson of the Al-Mansooran outfit claimed to two local news agencies that cadres of his group had launched the ‘suicide attack’. Spokespersons of the Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen and J&K Islamic Front also claimed separately that cadres of their organisations had launched the strike.

A militant ‘commander’ has reportedly warned that Mujahideen will wage a war against security forces in Waziristan if the Government does not stop killing and arresting militants. "The military is not keeping its words," Haji Muhammad Omar, ‘commander’ of the Mujahideen from Ahmadzai Wazir tribe in South Waziristan, told Dawn. He claimed that ‘sector commanders’ of the Mujahideen from South and North Waziristan had met last week at a secret location and decided to co-ordinate and launch simultaneous attacks on security forces if there was a further escalation in the situation. The 41-year-old Omar, who succeeded Nek Muhammad after he was killed during a missile attack in June 2004, said the Mujahideen resented the way the military rescinded from their promises and killed and harassed them.

President General Pervez Musharraf said in Rawalpindi, on July 29, that all the estimated 1,400 foreign nationals studying in the country’s Madrassas (seminaries) would have to leave the institutions. "All foreigners are to be removed from Pakistan’s more than 10,000 religious schools," Gen Musharraf said, adding that and no new visas would be issued to non-Pakistanis wishing to study in a Madrassa. The ban would also apply to holders of dual nationality, he stated. "An ordinance to this effect will be adopted in the next coming days as part of new rules requiring all seminaries to register with the government by the end of the year," the president told foreign correspondents at the Army House during a two-hour interaction. While saying that these institutions could be the world’s biggest NGOs helping the poorest segment of the society, Gen. Musharraf added "Don’t think they are all negative, this is not the reality." He said it was unfortunate that in the West all Madrassas were perceived to be negative. Commenting on the ongoing countrywide crackdown on Islamist extremism, the president claimed "I don’t want to arrest the workers. I want the leaders of the banned groups. I’m not impressed by figures. We want to get all of the bigwigs."

The Hindu reports that the Sri Lankan Government on July 29 filed a review petition requesting the Supreme Court to reconsider its interim injunction on the Post-Tsunami Operational Management Structure (P-TOMS) agreement between the Government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The Government has reportedly asked the court that it be permitted to carry on with the operational aspect of the P-TOMS as it was a "delegated power" made by the Government to the LTTE and did not amount to granting the rebels the functions of the Government. The court on June 25 had restrained key operational clauses of the agreement. The interim injunction was granted by the Supreme Court following a Fundamental Rights petition by the former ruling party, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna.

Padmanabhaiah, Delhi’s special representative for the peace talks, stated that "on our part, we were prepared to extend the ceasefire by one more year as usual. But then the NSCN-IM leadership felt that it wanted to consult various shades of Naga opinion. So they said in the first instance they would agree to extend the ceasefire only by six months."

The proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) could be involved in the July 28, 2005- explosion on board the Shramjeevi Express train that killed 12 people and injured 52, preliminary investigations have reportedly revealed. According to the Additional Director-General of Government Railway Police, B.K. Bhalla, the police have secured leads on four men who had forced their entry into a coach of the Patna-New Delhi train in which the explosion occurred in Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur district. "From the description given to us, the youths appeared to be from north India and our assessment indicates they could be activists of SIMI, which was suspected to have been involved in a similar train blast near Ayodhya in 2000," said Bhalla. "Some surviving passengers have told us that four unidentified youth, who boarded the train at Jaunpur, pulled the emergency chain and disembarked barely half-an-hour later, minutes before the explosion took place," he added. Bhalla also said ammonium nitrate could have been used as the explosive, contrary to earlier official claims about the use of RDX.

President Pervez Musharraf has said that Britain is regarded as a safe haven by Islamist extremists because it has failed to crack down on them despite urging other countries to do so, according to The Sunday Times. In an interview to the newspaper, Gen. Musharraf said "They should have been doing what they have been demanding of us to do – to ban extremist groups like they asked us to do here in Pakistan and which I have done." According to the President, Britain should have banned Al-Muhajiroun and Hizb-ul-Tehrir, groups that he has earlier accused of preaching anger and hatred and of calling for his own assassination. He told the paper: "Good action is when you foresee the future and pre-empt and act beforehand, instead of reacting as in the case of Britain, which waited for the damage to be done and is now reacting to it." According to the newspaper, "One of them [London bombers], Shehzad Tanweer, from the Leeds suburb of Beeston, is said by relatives in Pakistan to have spent time there with militants from the banned extremist Jaish Mohammad organisation… Efforts were under way to arrest Jaish Mohammed leader Masood Azhar, whom Tanweer is believed to have contacted."
