According to Daily Excelsior, two soldiers died in an encounter with two suicide squad (Fidayeen) cadres of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in the Baramulla district on June 1. The two terrorists laid an ambush near the Subsidiary Training Centre (STC) of J&K Police at Sheeri in Baramulla, and opened indiscriminate gunfire when an Army convoy began passing through the spot at 1305 hours. The duo also directed heavy volume of gunfire on STC, killing one police constable, Anchal Singh, and injuring six others. Sources said that one of the Army buses was aggressively targeted by the terrorists killing one soldier and wounding 10 others. Both the terrorists were also subsequently killed in the gun-battle. LeT spokesman, Abdullah Ghaznavi, told Daily Excelsior that the incident at Sheeri was his group’s Fidayeen attack on the Army convoy as well as STC of the J&K Police. He claimed that five police personnel and six soldiers of the army were killed and 15 more injured. He confirmed that both the suicide squad cadres were killed in the operation. Spokesperson at Army's 15 Corps Headquarters, Lt Col A. K. Mathur, disclosed that only one soldier, besides a Police constable, had died in the encounter.

Police seized 940-kg of C-4 explosives from a lorry at the Palugas junction road block at Kotawehera in the Nikaweratiya area of Kurunegala district on June 1. The explosives had been stocked in 47 boxes each carrying 20-kg. Police believe that the massive stock of C-4 explosives would have been transported to Colombo by the LTTE for a major attack. The Police also arrested the driver and his assistant believed to be from the Chavakachcheri area in the North. This is reportedly the biggest seizure of explosives in Sri Lanka. C-4 or Composition C -4 is a common type of plastic explosive used by the LTTE in bomb attacks in Sri Lanka. It can be easily molded into any shape or stuffed into gaps in buildings, equipment or machinery. The LTTE had used 50-kg of C-4 explosives in the Central Bank attack in Colombo on October 15, 1997 which killed 55 people and injured over 1000, sources added.

The President noted that he had not ordered troops to enter the LTTE-held Kilinochchi and Mullaittivu regions despite stepped up fighting and said he was still abiding by the Oslo-arranged truce, adding, "The ceasefire agreement has been violated 8,000 to 9,000 times, but we have still not given up the ceasefire."

Armed volunteers with their faces covered have reportedly been patrolling the area during nights and checking vehicles for the past week. The Taliban have told local people to remove ring tones of film songs from their cellular phones and personal computers and replace them with Quranic verses and jihadi songs. The handbills said that Taliban would launch an armed campaign from July 1 against ‘indecency’ and those involved in ‘un-Islamic activities’, including music centres, prize bond dealers, usurers, narcotics dealers, car lifters and barbers who trim beards. A poster pasted on a wall said Taliban would provide alternative self-employment opportunities to those affected by the campaign.

Militants have banned the movement of tribesmen at Darra Adamkhel in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) after 10pm and announced that any vehicle not stopping for ‘checking’ would be fired at, according to Dawn. Posters and handbills purportedly distributed by the Islami Taliban in the town cautioned tribesmen to avoid ‘unnecessary movement’ after 10pm. The handbills warned that if a driver did not stop for checking by the Taliban during the night, they had the right to shoot him. They warned that if any Mujahid was harmed between Akhurwal and Bostikhel areas or anyone was found monitoring activities of the Taliban in the area, it would be considered an ‘unpardonable crime’. "If a person is found creating hindrance for a Talib, he will not be pardoned," said a poster.

Police said on June 5 that they had arrested two suspected militants wanted in the 2002 abduction-cum-murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl, according to Daily Times. Attaur Rehman and Faisal Bhatti were arrested on June 4 in Kashmor, a town northeast of Karachi (capital of Sindh province), said Saghir Mugheri, an area police officer. However, a lawyer for the duo’s families said they were arrested by security agencies in 2003 and have been secretly held in custody since then. Mugheri said both men were members of the outlawed Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ). An unnamed police officer investigating Pearl’s case said Rehman is suspected of leading the gang that abducted Daniel Pearl in Karachi in 2002. Rehman, also known as Naim Bukhari, supervised the reporter’s detention in a shack for several days before he was killed, said the officer. He added that both suspects were also involved in the 1998 murder of two Iranian engineers in Karachi, the killing of two Shiite Muslim lawyers in 2000, and an unsuccessful attempt to release a fellow militant from a prison van in 1998 that left two guards dead. Mugheri informed that police arrested the two militants in a car traveling towards Balochistan and weapons and explosives were found in the vehicle.

A meeting of the Joint Monitoring and Coordination Committee (JMCC) failed to take any decision on the second-phase verification of the Maoist combatants after the Maoist side insisted that the government should first of all implement its decision to provide a monthly salary of NR 3000 to each combatant and other facilities. Maoist deputy commanders present at the meeting held at Summit Hotel in Lalitpur said the second stage of verification, earlier scheduled to start from June 10, should be done only after government releases the money to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) members. This is the second time in a row that the JMCC meet failed to break the deadlock that has hindered its progress, chief among which is the fate of the child combatants. As reported earlier, the Maoist side had refused to go with the second phase of verification of PLA members citing government’s failure to resolve the political deadlock.

A power blackout caused by Maoists in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh has reportedly further worsened as they brought down three more high-tension power transmission towers in the Bastar region. So far, Maoists have blasted eight high-tension electricity transmission towers in the State since June 1, leading to power breakdown in the Dantewada, Bijapur, Narayanpur and Bastar districts. The health sector and water supply services are the worst affected in the region. A senior State-run National Mineral Development Corporation official told IANS, "Iron ore production and transportation to the domestic market and exports to China and Japan have come to a complete halt since the past five days and would continue to suffer for a week." According to police, the Maoists are disrupting power installations in order to target government offices, the police and even tribals who are part of the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist movement).

He noted that the eight-party alliance was worsening due to foreigners, adding, "Conspiracy is on to finish the Maoists and drive them into the jungle again. Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum was born as a collaborator of the US and the palace." The Maoists would never work for foreigners or the palace and the YCL will never go for anti-people acts but only act against criminals, murderers and regressive elements, Prachanda said.

The designated Terrorist & Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on June 7 sentenced two more accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, reports The Hindu. Sheikh Ali Sheikh Umar, involved in the conspiracy at all stages, was sentenced to life imprisonment, while Ejaz Pathan, who recruited people for execution of the conspiracy, was sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment (RI) and a fine of Rs.225,000. Umar was one of the occupants of the van which contained arms and was abandoned at Worli on March 12, 1993, the day of the blasts. The van had proved crucial for investigators, who then began unearthing the entire conspiracy. On the other hand, Ejaz Pathan’s health condition prompted TADA judge, P D Kode, to go easy on his sentence, though Pathan had been absconding for about 10 years and was an undertrial only after he was deported from Dubai in February 2003. Pathan has already spent four years in jail. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam later said the sentence was way too little and the Central Bureau of Investigation would appeal to the Supreme Court for an enhancement of the sentence.

The move followed an announcement by the Inspector General of Police Victor Perera last week that Tamils "loitering" in Colombo were a threat to national security and that they will be given transport to return to their villages. The Defence Ministry confirmed the eviction, but said it was done to LTTE using the cover of lodges to hatch bomb plots against the capital. "Investigations have also confirmed that those responsible for these brutal killings have hatched their brutal plans and executed them from these lodgings," the Ministry said, adding, 376 people were evicted in seven buses and would be taken to Jaffna, Vavuniya, Trincomalee and Batticaloa. Since there is no land access to Jaffna, it is certain that the people from Jaffna will have to be held in a detention centre somewhere in the north of the island, officials said.

The Chairman of the CBE (Pvt) Ltd., Tiran Alles, was arrested by the Central Investigation Division (CID) to question him on the transfer of a vast amount of funds to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) through the TNJ Company registered under the name of leading LTTE activist Emil Kanthan, who was arrested on several occasions on terrorism charges and who led the gang which assaulted Minister Douglas Devananda at the Kalutara prison in 2002, for the past several years, Information and Media Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa told Parliament on June 6, according to Daily News. Alles had set up the TNJ Company in Kanthan’s name utilising his own funds and 33 Volvo and Benz vehicles and various other equipment had been transferred through it to the LTTE ostensibly for building houses. With the use of mobile phones in the North and East, Alles’s Company had obtained the Agency to market Dialog mobile connections in the North and East. The commission agreed was 50 per cent of the monthly bill paid to Dialog from each connection. Accordingly, billions of rupees had been paid to Alles’s CBE Company in respect of mobile phone connections given to the North and East and this money had been procured for LTTE needs locally and internationally. According to statements made and information received by the CID, the TNJ Company had obtained leasing facilities from the Hatton National Bank to provide the Volvos and Benzes to the LTTE. The CID is now probing the Bank accounts of TNJ and CBE and collecting information about the above mentioned persons.

A purported al Qaeda compact disc (CD) is reported to have referred to Kashmir as "gateway of Jihad against India," according to Daily Excelsior. The Government of India has reportedly ordered an investigation to judge the authenticity of the CD that carried a recorded statement of an Urdu speaking masked gunman. Personnel of the Srinagar-based Kashmir News Service told Daily Excelsior that an unidentified man delivered a CD besides a five-page statement in Urdu, purportedly from chief of "Al-Qaeda Fil Hind", Abu Abdul Rehman Ansari. The statement, read out in Urdu in the CD by a masked gunman, Abu Ibrahim Al-Aasim, criticized all factions of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and the Muzaffarabad-based alliance of militant outfits, Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC) for "misleading the Kashmiris into the quagmire of UN resolutions and politics of shutdowns and demonstrations." Calling Kashmir as "gateway of Jihad against India", the statement observed that the political and militant leadership had pushed the Kashmiris into a serious confusion about the goal to be achieved in their struggle. It says that the Islamist movements in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia, Philippines and Algiers were clearly focussed on "change in system, erasing the borders and installation of Caliphate." "The ongoing armed struggle in Jammu and Kashmir has been transformed into a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan and war of the State interests by the countries under an organised international plot. Some black sheep are also beating the drum of dialogue with the heretic elements and their lackeys. Same people, who, until the other day only, used to euologise the Mujahideen for fighting the occupational forces, have now no hesitation in saying that the role of the gun was over and it is the turn of the dialogue process," it said. Underscoring the significance of "Jihad against India", the statement read that Prophet Mohammad had declared those people as blessed who launched a war against India.

Police sources said that the Black Widow, a breakaway faction of the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD), is trying to extend its area of operation to the northeastern flank of neighbouring Cachar district, reports Telegraph. Sources also revealed that nearly two dozen people living in the Harinagar and Jaipur enclaves along Cachar’s northeastern boundary with North Cachar had received extortion notices. The notices, either sent by post or hand-delivered, demand amounts between INR 50,000 and INR 5 lakh. The residents have been also threatened with dire consequences if they fail to pay the said amount. According to Sentinel, intelligence reports revealed that over 20 jihadi groups, including the Adam Sena, Muslim Tigers’ Force, Revolutionary Muslim Commandos, United Muslim Front of Assam, Islamic United Reformation Movement of India, Islamic Sevak Sangha, Muslim Security Force, Muslim Liberation Army of Assam, United Liberation Militia of Assam, Muslim Security Council of Assam, Muslim United Liberation Front of Assam, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), Harkat-ul-Jehad and People’s United Liberation Front (PULF), have been active in Assam. Activists of these organizations have been taking shelter in the border areas, seminaries, mosques and other religious minority-dominated areas in the State. Sources added, "These organizations recruit local youths and send them for arms training to foreign countries. With the change of guard in Bangladesh, United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) leaders who have taken shelter in that country, including ULFA chief Paresh Baruah, were forced to back the Islamic state blueprint prepared by Pakistan’s ISI and Bangladesh’s Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI). The mysterious silence of ULFA leaders on burning issues like unchecked infiltration from Bangladesh and expulsion of Bangladeshis from Assam is a glaring example of ULFA going soft on jehadi groups sponsored by forces based in Bangladesh".

The Balochistan Government on June 8 held the Hamid Karzai-led Afghan Government responsible for providing shelter to Baloch separatist insurgents, which they believe was "clear evidence of Afghan involvement in the instability created in Balochistan," according to Daily Times. "There is ample evidence to substantiate our allegations that Afghanistan is creating trouble in Balochistan and extending full support to Baloch fighters," Raziq Bugti, spokesperson for the Balochistan Government, told a press conference held in the Chief Minister Secretariat at Quetta. He said that from day one, the government had not ruled out the involvement of a foreign hand in creating trouble in Balochistan. However, he said, the government’s stance became self-evident since the Governor of Afghan province of Kandahar, Asadullah Khalid, stated that several Baloch had taken shelter in his province after fleeing from the conflict-stricken province of Balochistan. He informed that the Balochistan Government had made a formal request to the Afghan Government for handing over the people who the government believed were involved in terrorist activities across the province. According to the spokesperson, a majority of the people who were hiding in Afghanistan had escaped from the Dera Bugti and Sui areas in 2006 when the conflict between the government and Bugti tribesmen intensified.

President Mahinda Rajapakse asked the IGP to submit an immediate report on the manner exercised to transport Tamil persons who were living in lodges in Colombo to North and East. Inviting the evicted people back to Colombo and promising disciplinary action against any wrongdoing, a statement issued by the President’s Office said that the President has called for an immediate inquiry to be initiated to ascertain the basis for this security related operation. AFP quoted police sources as saying that they were trying to undo the damage by arranging five buses to bring back to Colombo the Tamils who were forcibly removed from low-budget hostels. "Out of 272 held at the Vavuniya centre, we are bringing back 186 in the next few hours," said a police official in Vavuniya.

Deccan Herald reports that agents of Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and smugglers are increasingly exploiting the India-Pakistan border area in Gujarat for illegal activities taking advantage of the non-deployment of the Border Security Force (BSF) in certain difficult stretches of the border. Security forces reportedly face a lot of problems while manning the border in Gujarat and Rann of Kutch as harsh climate makes the terrain non-negotiable during monsoon and post-monsoon months. The Union Home Ministry (MHA) has approved an INR 3800 crore proposal for fencing and floodlighting of 310 kilometers of the Gujarat border. Official sources said that 217 kilometers of fencing and 178 kilometers of the remaining floodlighting have been completed till March 2007 and work on the remaining portion was under progress. The entire work, which was targeted to be completed by March 31, 2007, got delayed due to unprecedented rains in Gujarat in 2006.

Intelligence agencies, particularly Intelligence Bureau and `Q' branch of the Criminal Investigations Department, have stepped up vigil at the Mandapam refugee camp and other camps in the State following reports of alleged recruitment for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) there through its agents, reports The Hindu. According to a report posted in the www.defence.lk, the LTTE had asked its operatives to approach Tamil refugees, particularly youth, who recently fled the country and took asylum in Tamil Nadu, to return to the Island nation in order to join LTTE in their fight against Sri Lankan forces. Following the report, the intelligence agencies in Ramanathapuram and other parts of the State have increased surveillance on Sri Lankan refugees living in various camps. Reacting to the reports, the intelligence officials summarily rejected the chances of recruitment. "No body can approach refugees with the so-called motive, as all their activities and movements are being closely monitored. We have posted a strong network to track down illegal activities, if any. They cannot escape from our surveillance," an officer of `Q' branch told The Hindu.

Daily Mirror reports that the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) has, in its May 28-June 3 situation report, accused the army or police of being involved in some of the abductions in the East, apart from those carried out by the Tamileela Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP), political wing of the LTTE breakaway faction led by ‘Colonel’ Karuna, and the LTTE. According to the report posted on its Website, abductions are still taking place in the Batticaloa and Ampara districts while assassinations by "unknown armed men" have also been reported although it has seen a decline over the past few weeks. "...Perpetrators are most often suspected to be members of the TMVP or the LTTE, although some times it is the Army or Police who are accused of abductions," the SLMM report said. Military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasingha, however, refuted the SLMM claims, saying, "There is a law in the land. If the SLMM has any evidence of such a thing they should give the evidence and, according to the law, we will inquire into it and deal with anyone found guilty." He stressed that the army has never been involved in any abductions in any part of the country.

Defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said that Sri Lanka is being bullied by Western countries over human rights and declared that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has infiltrated and misled United Nations (UN) agencies. He accused foreign powers of applying double standards when it comes to human rights violations, saying all measures were fair to defeat terrorists.

We have all the SAARC countries, the Asian countries," he stated, adding, "Britain or Western countries, EU countries, they can do whatever. We don't depend on them. We have to defend ourselves. You can't risk the country ... I'm talking about terrorists. Anything is fair." Reacting to the demand of UN agencies in Sri Lanka to halt rights abuses by the government, he claimed, "For 30 years or so, this LTTE planned this, they infiltrated the U.N."

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, 156 insurgency-related incidents took place in Assam between January 1, 2007, and March 31, 2007, where the ULFA has carried out 68 attacks in upper Assam between January 1, 2007, and June 10, 2007, killing 81 civilians, 11 soldiers. Since September 24, 2006, the Army also managed to kill 19 ULFA militants along the Arunachal Pradesh belt, and arrested 14 militants and 31 over-ground workers. Sources said that the ULFA lost several cadres in the recent operations like Operation Blazing Khukri and Operation Blooming Orchid. After the operation in Bhutan in 2003, 1,500 sq km of Manabhum forest in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lohit district has emerged as the outfit’s main area of operation. Presently, around 100 women cadres are reportedly being trained in fresh camps set up by the group inside Bhutan. The ULFA is also carrying on its recruitment drive but the training of its cadres is constrained due to shortage of permanent bases. Sources said that Chakma refugees, settled since decades in Arunachal Pradesh, have started providing logistic support to the ULFA. There are also reports of Chakma settlers being enrolled by the ULFA, and also being recruited by other militant groups active in the Tirap-Changlang-Lohit belt in Arunachal Pradesh, mainly the NSCN-IM and the NSCN-K. Sources said that as many as 176 training camps of Indian militants are in Bangladesh. The ULFA leads the list with the highest number of training camps – 38 within the terror belt which stretches from Sherpur district in the north, bordering West Garo Hills in Meghalaya, to Cox Bazaar in the south near Myanmar.

The US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Richard Boucher, on June 14 praised Islamabad’s role in the “war on terror” and agreed to the Pakistani assertion that there was no solid evidence of Mullah Omar’s presence in Balochistan, according to The News. Boucher met Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Muhammad Yusuf in the provincial capital Quetta on June 14. During the meeting, Yousuf reportedly dispelled the impression that Quetta was the Taliban headquarters. “There is no headquarters of Taliban in Quetta, nor Mullah Omar or Osama bin Laden are present in Quetta or any other part of Balochistan,” he said, according to an official statement. The statement claimed that Boucher agreed that there was no concrete “evidence that Mullah Omar was present in Balochistan” and that he appreciated Pakistan’s role in the war against terrorism. The statement said Yusuf informed Boucher that Pakistan was an important ally of the United States in the global war on terror and President Pervez Musharraf was determined to eliminate terrorism from the country with the support of the people. APP reported that Boucher also visited the border town of Chaman where he saw the biometric system installed by Pakistan on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border with the objective to check illegal cross-border movement.

Two persons were killed in an ambush by terrorists near the crowded Iqbal Market in the Sopore town of Baramulla district on June 15, according to Daily Excelsior. The terrorists, who had taken position behind a parked car in a narrow alley, lobbed a hand grenade and then directed a volley of gunfire on the convoy, which was en route to Bandipora. The driver of a targeted vehicle was killed and four soldiers in two vehicles sustained injuries. Even as the troops retaliated, both the terrorists managed to escape from the incident site. At Chinkipora, nearly a kilometer from the ambush site, one Constable of the Central Reserve Police Force was hit when he was watching the convoy from the third floor of his camp. He is reported to have died on the spot. When the firing subsided, five civilians were also found injured. Officials said that the duo, identified as Abu Zarrar and Abu Qittal, were believed to be members of a lately infiltrated group of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which is reported to have claimed responsibility for the ambush.

Two women, Mubina Bhiwandiwala and Zebunissa Qazi, were sentenced to five years rigorous imprisonment (RI) for their complicity in the blasts. They were also fined INR 25,000 and INR 100,000 respectively. Pronouncing sentences, the TADA court judge, P. D. Kode, said Mubina, adopted sister of the absconding mastermind Tiger Memon, had allowed a crucial meeting of conspirators in her house for which she was paid. Zebunnisa, who concealed weapons in her homes that were sent by Hindi cinema actor Sanjay Dutt, was sentenced under section 3(3) of the TADA. The judge observed that although she looked after the AK 56 rifles, ammunition and some hand grenades, the real possessors of the weapons were Manzoor Ali Sayyed and Abu Salem who had been handling the distribution of the firearms on behalf of Anees Ibrahim Kaskar, another absconding accused.

The United States Assistant Secretary of State, Richard Boucher, said in Islamabad on June 15 that holding of free and transparent elections in Pakistan was a bigger problem than the issue of President General Pervez Musharraf’s uniform, Daily Times reported. Boucher denied that he had come to Pakistan to broker a deal between President Musharraf and the Pakistan People’s Party. Speaking to the media, Boucher said that President Musharraf had assured the US that the issue of his two offices would be settled in accordance with the Constitution and the US believed him. He said that President Musharraf had also assured the US that the elections would be held in a free and transparent manner. He added that the US was willing to provide monetary, technical and observer assistance to Pakistan for the elections. Boucher opined that the US believed that Pakistan was moving towards democracy and becoming a moderate country, adding that there was no contradiction in the US policy of supporting media freedom and President Musharraf simultaneously. Asked about Pakistan’s role in the war against terrorism and frequent statements by US officials that Pakistan should do more, Boucher said “We certainly recognise the enormous effort, the enormous achievements and the enormous sacrifices that Pakistan has made so far. I’ve often said in the Congress and elsewhere that no country has done more against the terrorists or lost more people doing so than Pakistan. And I think that’s an important place to remember.” However, he said more had to be done in both Pakistan and Afghanistan to eliminate “spaces where terrorists can plot and plan”.

Cleric of the Taliban-linked Lal Masjid (Red mosque) in Islamabad, Maulana Abdul Aziz, has issued a death fatwa against staff at a magazine for publishing a fashion-shoot advertisement entitled Adam and Eve, according to Daily Times. The fatwa has been issued against the chief editor, publisher and other staff of an English language magazine called Octane. “In the magazine’s June edition blasphemy was committed against Hazrat (Prophet) Adam and Eve... Those responsible for the magazine are liable to death,” Aziz said in a statement. The offending photographs were reportedly titled Adam and Eve – Apple the Bone of Contention, and showed two models in designer-wear holding an apple. Octane’s editor, Zubair Kasuri, said it was just a commercial advertisement and contained nothing blasphemous, and had been published before by other magazines. “But even then if it creates any misunderstanding or conveys any wrong perception, we are ready to apologise,” he said. The Islamabad Capital Territory administration, meanwhile, has confiscated the edition of the magazine and all shopkeepers have been prohibited from selling it. The pictures are likely to “disseminate obscenity in society,” said a press note on June 16.

According to Times of India, the Union Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is preparing a note verbale to be sent to the Danish government for the extradition of Purulia arms drop accused Kim Davy. The note verbale provides an assurance that Davy would be repatriated to Denmark to serve any prison term after his trail in India. Following a request from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Union Cabinet had cleared a proposal in April 2007 to give an undertaking to the Danish authorities that Davy would not be awarded capital punishment. The executive assurance was necessary as India does not have an extradition treaty with Denmark. The CBI, which had put up an Interpol Red Corner notice against Davy, located him in Denmark and sent in an extradition request. Davy is accused of dropping arms by an AN-26 aircraft over Purulia in West Bengal in December 1995. The aircraft was intercepted and forced to land at Mumbai. However, Davy escaped even as the other members of the aircraft crew were arrested.

Lt. Gen. Panag stated that as the terrorist training camps in Pakistan are still intact and the perpetrators of Jihad across the border have not changed their agenda, there is no reason to pull out troops from the State. "Since the perpetrators of ‘Jehad’ are making statements (of United Jehad Council (UJC) chief Syed Salahuddin) that there is no change in their agenda and also the presence of 52 militant training camps across the border, we can’t say situation is appropriate for troops withdrawal," the Army Commander said. Elaborating on the deployment of a total of 3, 37,000 Army personnel in the State, he said that “only 25 per cent are into in depth counter-insurgency operations within the State." Of the rest, 45 to 50 per cent are deployed along the Line of Control (LoC) and Actual Line of Control (ALC) to counter-infiltration and remaining are at permanent locations (Garrisons), including support services, Lt Gen Panag disclosed. "So, only 25 per cent (75,000-80,000) soldiers can be pulled out of State while rest would have to be there," he asserted. On the strength of militants active in the State, the Army commander said that data from various agencies have revealed the headcount of terrorists at 1,140. When asked about the increased infiltration from across the border, Lt Gen Panag said it was "marginal" "We are trying to check it", he added.

Ruling out the presence of al Qaeda in Jammu and Kashmir, the Northern Command’s General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Lt. Gen. H. S. Panag, said in Udhampur on June 17 that nothing has been established so far to corroborate reports about the terrorist group’s operatives in the State, according to Daily Excelsior. "Much has been said by the print and electronic media about al Qaeda’s presence in Jammu and Kashmir but nothing has been established so far to corroborate these reports,” said Panag. He informed: "I would say we also have no records in the past about al Qaeda operatives having being found during counter-insurgency operations in the State. Only one odd case was reported about one al Qaeda militant of Afghanistan long back," adding that after investigation it also turned out to be untrue. He also ruled out al Qaeda’s relations with terrorist groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir — Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). "We are only aware of al Qaeda’s strong relations with JeM and LeT in Pakistan," he observed. In Pakistan, al Qaeda has strong relations with LeT and JeM, whose cadres they train and assist them in the operations against the Government, the Northern Command chief said, adding they work in co-ordination in Pakistan, which is a major threat to the establishment.

Statesman quoting intelligence agencies reports that finding it difficult to intrude into India through the Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan borders, militant outfits have now changed their intrusion route to the 2.9 million-square kilometer Indian coast, where it is easy to dodge the scarcely deployed coastal guards. Kashmir-based militant groups have earmarked certain soft routes in the western coastal areas to intrude into India. “At least half a dozen such incidents have recently been reported, where terrorists entered into India either by bribing those guarding the coastal areas or by dodging their eyes,” revealed an unidentified officer of a central intelligence agency. The officer also said that “Most of the arms and ammunition smuggled into India either for terrorists, Naxalites or other organised criminals, are coming through the coastal regions.” Interrogation of militants who were arrested by security agencies in Kashmir and wireless intercepts of terrorist conversations have also revealed the intrusion plans of the terrorists into the country. The Union Ministry of Defence has reportedly submitted a $700 million plan to buy military equipment for the coast guard to replace the obsolete technology of coastal patrolling.

The Election Commission (EC) on June 17 drafted a new proposal to curtail the absolute power of political parties' parliamentary boards to nominate party candidates for parliamentary election. Using this power, the major political parties, especially the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Awami League, reportedly made huge amounts of money by selling party nominations to businessmen and black money holders during the previous parliamentary elections, while the dedicated leaders were ignored in many cases. According to the new proposal, two or more candidates will now be selected through a secret ballot by the grass roots workers of the registered parties, one of whom would be selected as the final candidate by the party's central parliamentary board. The new proposal as well as the proposed conditions for a political party to get registration with the EC will be finalised upon consultation with the major political parties after the embargo on indoor politics is lifted.

Daily News quoted army officials as saying that hundreds of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres entrapped in the Thoppigala jungles commenced fleeing the area on June 17 amidst a major assault by the security forces (SFs) on their Beirut base, cutting off all supply routes. Officials said that over 75 LTTE cadres had fled the Thoppigala jungles towards the Wanni taking cover of the thick jungles west of Vakarai and south-west of Trikonamadu. SFs launched a major assault on the fleeing terrorists and alerted the troops and home guards in settlements close to Habarana and other areas in Trincomalee fearing desperate attacks by the fleeing outfit’s cadres. “The Tiger cadres in Thoppigala are entrapped within a few square kilometers in the jungle and Security Forces are engaged in a determined effort to flush them out,” General Officer Commanding Sri Lanka Army’s 23rd Division, Major General Daya Ratnayake, told Daily News, adding, “So far, nearly 100 Tiger cadres have surrendered to the Security Forces while 270 cadres have been killed during confrontations in the battle to capture Thoppigala. We are encouraging more Tiger cadres to surrender to the Security Forces, without perishing in battle.”

The Sri Lanka Defence Ministry claimed on June 18 that the Indian fishing boat, which sunk near Katchatheevu on June 17 following a grenade attack by suspected Sri Lankan fishermen, was carrying explosives belonging to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), according to The Hindu. A report posted on the Sri Lankan Defence Ministry Website quoted an unnamed source as saying, "Controversy surrounds the circumstances in which conflicting reports are received from Tamil Nadu about the explosion. Speculation is that the vessel had been carrying a consignment of explosives belonging to the LTTE. Although reports indicated the incident had taken place in the Indian territorial waters, the possibility of the ill-fated vessel being in Sri Lankan waters could not be ruled out." The report also said that the sources expressed serious concern that the "Sea Tigers and their collaborators based in Tamil Nadu were continuing clandestine operations" despite the stepped-up presence of the Indian Navy and Coast Guard. According to earlier reports, a group of suspected Sri Lankan fishermen on June 17-morning hurled five country-made bombs at their Indian counterparts at sea between Dhanushkodi and Katchatheevu and sank a mechanised boat, before hijacking three boats along with 12 fishermen, Tamil Nadu fisheries department officials said. Three fishermen, identified as Father Raju, Susai and Premkumar, who were injured in the incident, later managed to reach Ramanathapuram coast, officials added. Assistant Director of Fisheries, Velpandian, later told PTI that the hijacked fishermen were released in the afternoon along with their boats, though their belongings, including fishing nets and the catch, were taken away by their Sri Lankan counterparts.

The Taliban have banned TV and video CDs in public in the Wazir areas of South Waziristan, warning that strict punishment will be meted out to violators, according to Daily Times.

"No tea shop or restaurant in Wana, Azam Warsak, Kaloosha and Angoor Adda will be allowed to show TV shows or play CDs and violators will be fined Rs 20,000 and their establishments will be demolished," the pamphlet pasted in Wana’s Rustam Bazaar read. The pamphlet did not state the reasons for the ban but a senior Taliban leader was quoted as saying the move was aimed at "keeping children away from watching jihadi CDs". Eyewitnesses said all tea shops and restaurants removed TV sets and CD players immediately after the Taliban announced the ban.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) made a fresh pledge to rid their ranks of child soldiers by the end of year 2007. The LTTE, classified as one of the worst offenders in the world for the recruitment of children to fight, made the same promise in 1998 but have since been accused by the United Nations of recruiting more than they actually freed. The LTTE in a statement issued on June 18 said that its "Child Protection Agency (CPA)" had freed 135 males and females below the age of 17 who were found within their guerrilla army in the past six months. "The CPA hopes that the work that has been done and the work that is ongoing will ... (bring the) recruitment for the LTTE to international standards by the end of 2007," the statement said. It also asked the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to adjust its child recruitment database to take into account the latest batch of child soldiers to be released. Although, there was no immediate reaction from UNICEF to the LTTE statement, but the agency says on its Website that there were 1,591 outstanding cases of underage recruitment by the LTTE as of the end of May 2007. "Of these, 506 are under the age of 18, and 1,085 were recruited while under 18 but have now passed that age," UNICEF said, adding, there were another 198 outstanding cases of child soldier recruitment by the LTTE's breakaway faction led by ‘Colonel’ Karuna. The UNICEF also said it believed its database accounted for just "a third of the actual number of children recruited" to fight in the island's long-running ethnic war.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Veluppillai Prabhakaran’s son Charles Anthony is now on the watch list of the Indian agencies after reports that he heads the air wing of the proscribed outfit, according to agencies report. An unnamed central intelligence officer in Mumbai said that Charles may have been trained by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Reports indicate that the LTTE air wing is a complement of nine pilots and seven light single-engine aircrafts. They also have strength of about 60 airmen to maintain and service the planes mostly operating from secret airfields around Jaffna in northern Sri Lanka. The air wing is useful for carrying out suicide strikes on Sri Lanka security forces and for reconnaissance missions before an attack. Investigations by agencies indicate that apart from Mossad, senior LTTE cadre is also trained by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence operatives. The LTTE owns a fleet of sea-going ships to transport their supplies and arms since 1986.

According to The Hindu, security forces (SF) have been put on high alert in several states including Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa, following a two-day economic blockade, reportedly announced by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on June 26-27. Intelligence agencies suspect that Maoists, numbering more than 20,000, could target industries and the railways to disrupt the mining activity in Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Jharkhand. The blockade was reportedly planned to oppose the formation of Special Economic Zones and the policies of Central and State governments, "which are playing into the hands of multi-national companies," said a Maoist statement issued in Orissa on June 20. However, the Central Committee of the party has not issued a statement announcing the blockade; the statements were issued by the State committees only. "We have noticed many posters announcing the blockade on the borders of Jharkhand with Orissa and West Bengal. We suspect that the naxals (left-wing extremists) could indulge in violence because they have been getting hit in Jharkhand and Bihar," Gauri Shankar Rath, Additional Director-General of Police, Jharkhand, told The Hindu.

Describing the rising incidents of infiltration attempts across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir as a cause for "concern", Defence Minister A. K. Antony said on June 25 that security forces were geared up to meet any eventuality, according to Daily Excelsior.

Officials said though there was a drop in infiltration during the winter months of December, January and February, the onset of summer and melting of snow have seen a sharp jump in infiltration attempts. In the months of April, May and June, Army figures show that infiltration attempts had almost increased to more than 100 attempts, almost a three fold increase over that witnessed in the winter months.

The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) on June 25 favoured sweeping powers to the Centre to deploy armed forces in case any State faced "major public order problems" and the repeal of the Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA), according to Tribune. The Commission also recommended bringing investigation of certain crimes with inter-state and national ramifications directly under the jurisdiction of central investigating agency like the Central Bureau of Investigation. These offences include terrorism, organised crimes, acts threatening national security, sedition, arms and human trafficking, assassination of major public figures and serious economic offences. On the issue of the AFSPA of 1958, the Commission while recommending its repeal suggested to bring an enabling legislation in its place for deployment of Central forces in the North Eastern States. "The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, should be amended by inserting by a new chapter VI A as recommended by the Committee to Review the AFSPA. The Chapter VI A would only apply to North Eastern states," it said. "We want the government, both Centre and states, to implement the report ARC on Public Order in its fully as it tries to address the vacuum created over the years," Veerappa Moily, the commission Chairman told the media after submitting the report to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on June 25.

The political wing leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), S.P Thamilchelvan, in an interview with Tamil Net on June 25 said that to bring peace and pave the way for talks, the international community should come forward to "support the struggle for rights of the Tamil people and force the Sri Lankan Government to implement the ceasefire agreement in full." He emphasized that only the cease-fire agreement (CFA) can save the island from disaster, saying, "International community must gain a profound understanding of this long history [of prolonging and time buying tactics by Colombo] and act to end the ethnically biased efforts by the Sinhala leadership. I believe the constructive step by the international community is to accept and support the struggle for rights of the Tamil people and force the Sri Lankan Government to implement the ceasefire agreement 100% to pave the way for peace talks." On the military situation in the east, he said, "As far as the LTTE is concerned, we were never defeated. We adopt military strategies to suit the place, the environment and the time. In particular, in the East, it is common for the Sinhala forces to advance and then withdraw when faced with heavy losses following our strong defense. This is past history. No people will accept the occupation of their land by a foreign force or a force they detest. They will always seek their own security. Very soon, the Sinhala forces will understand the trap they have set for themselves."

Criminals, insurgents, terrorists--if any of these elements seek sanctuary, then it doesn't help either India or Bangladesh. We are both determined to work against this."

Menon described Bangladesh as a "priority" for India and said although it is in India's interest for Bangladesh to be "peaceful, democratic and stable", "ultimately, it's the people of Bangladesh who will decide their future." Speaking on security issues, Menon said, "I think our securities are linked. We have a common security interest. Criminals, insurgents, terrorists--if any of these elements seek sanctuary, then it doesn't help either India or Bangladesh. We are both determined to work against this." This was first foreign secretary-level talks between the two countries in two years.

Cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), on June 27, stormed a railway station, set fire to the stationmaster’s office and rigged the tracks with explosives, reports Telegraph. The pre-dawn attack occurred at Biramdih station in Purulia, close to the Jharkhand border. Maoists also pasted posters on the walls and pillars on the station premises before fleeing. The posters condemned the "genocide" in Nandigram — where 14 land protesters were killed in March 2007 in clashes with police — and warned the government against setting up special economic zones in the State. An explosive device planted by the Maoists below the tracks was later recovered and defused by the security forces. West Bengal Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said a probe has been ordered.

He pointed out that although the Tamil Net is maintained as a pro-LTTE media, government does not consider it as an official media source of the LTTE terrorist movement. He also noted that the LTTE maintains two official websites and asked, "If the Government is bothered about Tamil Net, why not the other two LTTE websites? If Government is worried about the information carried in Tamil Net, why we are not anxious about the official websites of the LTTE’s peace secretariat which carry totally misguided information to its reader?"

Sri Lanka government intends to hold elections to the local bodies in the Eastern Province, said an unnamed official of the Presidential Secretariat in Colombo on June 27. The official told The Hindu that with the virtual ouster of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) from its remaining pockets in the east, the government would like to empower the people at the grassroots level to elect their own representatives and have a say on issues of development. "The time-frame is not worked out yet. The intention of the Government is to involve people in decision-making process. The idea is to follow up the local bodies polls with an election to the eastern provincial council with a Chief Minister in place," he said. It would be for the first time since 1989 that the province would witness the democratic exercise. Elections to the temporarily merged north and eastern provinces were held as a follow up to the 1987 Indo-Sri Lanka Accord. Meanwhile, the military claimed that it has gained control of 99 per cent of the territory in the Thoppigala jungles, the last remaining pocket of the LTTE, and an estimated 100 odd cadres of the outfit were trapped in the bushy jungles.

President Pervez Musharraf said on June 29 that an operation could be launched against the Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa brigade, but a raid would lead to heavy casualties on both sides because a large number of suicide bombers were inside the mosque and seminaries, according to Dawn. Speaking to the media at the National Defence University in Islamabad, General Musharraf said: "Can you guarantee that blood of any dead or injured will not be screened on television channels during the operation?" He informed that militants having links with the Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) and al Qaeda were hiding in the mosque and seminaries and they had explosives. They might cause havoc in case of an armed operation, he said, adding: "Let it be clear that the action against the Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa brigade was not withheld because of government’s weakness or cowardice in the face of enemy." "Critics should understand that the Madrassa houses 2,500 women students with minor boys and suicide bombers inside are equipped with sophisticated arms. While police are not capable of launching such a complex operation, the army cannot be involved for it can give a wrong message to the world," the president said. He also observed, "We have involved senior clerics of the country, the Council of Islamic Ideology and the Imam-i-Kaaba to end the standoff. Shall we now call Allah to help these elements shun their wrongdoings?"
