The New York-based Human Rights Watch in its latest report accused the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of continuing to enlist boys and girls below the age of 18 years since the Oslo-brokered truce went into effect in February 2002. "The ceasefire has brought an end to the fighting but not to the Tamil Tigers' use of children as soldiers," said Jo Becker, children's rights advocacy director for Human Rights Watch and a co-author of the report. The LTTE used intimidation and threats to pressure Tamil families in the island's North and the East to provide sons and daughters for military service, the report said. When families refused, their children were sometimes abducted from their homes at night or forcibly recruited while walking to school. Parents who resisted recruitment faced violence or detention.

The News reports that up to 40 suspected militants have been killed by the Pakistani troops hunting Al Qaeda fighters in a rugged region bordering Afghanistan this week, South Waziristan field commander Major General Niaz Khattak said on November 13. Several militant hide-outs had also been destroyed in the ongoing offensive, with an extra 7,000 troops backed by helicopter gunships pouring into tribal region of South Waziristan on November 12, Khattak said giving detailed briefing in village Nano, native village of Al Qaeda terrorist Abdullah Mahsud, to visiting representatives of foreign media based at Islamabad and Peshawar. The troops took over some militant strongholds and seized a weapons cache during the operation. "Our forces have killed some 30-40 militants this week and destroyed several terrorist hide outs," Niaz Khattak said. "My reckoning is that the number of foreign militants in the area should not be more than 100," he added. Major General Niaz Khattak also said that he had seen no indication that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was hiding in South Waziristan, as some experts believe. He, however, did not rule out possibility of the presence of third tier of the outfit.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) ‘political wing’ leader, SP Tamilselvan, in the Virakesari Illustrated Weekly on November 14, when asked to comment on India's willingness to upgrade the Palaly military airport in Jaffna, and build a highway between Trincomalee and Anuradhapura to be called the 'Rajiv Gandhi Highway', stated that India should consult the outfit before undertaking strategically important infrastructure projects in the North Eastern Province (NEP) of Sri Lanka, since these impinge on the lives of the Tamil people. Tamilselvan said, "The Palaly airport is in the Tamil Homeland. India's plan to help upgrade it will upset the current peace process in Sri Lanka. The Palaly airport was built by taking over the Tamil peoples' lands. As for the Trincomalee-Anuradhapura highway, it is going to be built in an area, from which the Tamils were driven out to enable the Sinhala people to settle there. Tamil refugees from this area are still languishing in Mullaitivu district. It is our submission that before taking a decision on these matters India should consult the Tamil side also. It should talk to the LTTE."

In response to a recent statement by the heads of western diplomatic missions and the United Nations (UN), the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) ‘Chairman’, Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda said that their party concluded that peace negotiation with the royal-appointed government is possible only if the United Nations or a credible international human rights organisation is involved. Prachanda alleged that ‘feudal elements’ tried to use the ‘peace talks’ as a weapon to fulfill their regressive vested interests and said ‘the government was busy in hatching conspiracy for war while making noise about peace talks.’ He has also appealed to the international community to block all sorts of cooperation including military, economic and diplomatic to Nepal to exert pressure on the government to agree to UN involvement and constituent assembly elections.

Taking advantage of a major security lapse, at least two heavily armed terrorists had perched themselves on vantage positions in the foothills of Shankaracharya hillock overlooking the venue of the Prime Minister’s public rally. Hours before Dr Singh’s scheduled arrival, a Police official spotted the terrorists and in an encounter that followed, the two terrorists were shot dead. Officials maintained that just two AK-56 rifles and a pistol were recovered from the site of the encounter. However, Daily Excelsior reports that they also carried an RPG rifle, which could well have been used to fire grenades on the public meeting. While two terrorists got killed, three soldiers and an equal number of civilians sustained minor injuries in the gunbattle. Later, a spokesman of the Al-Mansoorain organisation identified the fidayeen duo as Abu Asim of Peshawar and Irshad Ahmed Bhat of Bohri Kadal, Srinagar.

In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) spokesperson, Krishna Bahadur Mahara said they did not want to cross the international border to fight with the Indian establishment, but fight with ‘Indian expansionism’ is a must to ensure victory of the ‘People’s War’ in Nepal. Further he said ‘India wants to put their neighbours under its security cordon and make them operate as per its order’ and added ‘the objectives of the ‘People’s War’ in Nepal is to free the country from Nepali reactionaries and Indian rulers.’ While speaking about the peace talks, Mahara alleged that the ruling side was not sincere towards the result-oriented talks and said ‘existence of two regimes is reality and both must realize this… CPN(M) wanted to hold talks with the power center that enjoyed real authority - King’. Also, he said that election was not a solution to the problems in the country and added "It is nothing but a political slogan for a major battle. Our demand is for (holding) elections to the constituent assembly, not the parliament." Finally Mahara said, "The government should stop getting foreign military assistance, militarisation and killing people in fake encounters," and added "If the government is ready to invite international mediators and furnish replies to our questions, we are ready for the talks."

Speaking to The Times of India in Lucknow, on November 19, Union Minister of State for Home, Prakash Jaiswal said there are intelligence reports of strong Nepalese Maoist and the Communist Party of India-Maoist nexus that poses new threat to the internal security of India as a whole and that of five states— Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttaranchal, West Bengal and Sikkim—in particular. The development means trouble in future and the Union government has taken a serious note of this, the minister added. He also said that Central and state intelligence agencies have recently submitted reports on camps along the border to train suicide bombers and women, digging of trenches, procuring arms from the erstwhile People’s War Group (PWG) outfits in Andhra Pradesh and plundering of forest wealth from India. He further said the reports suggested the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, is backing Maoists through "friendly" business relations between the Habib Bank in Pakistan and Himalayan Bank in Nepal.

In an interview with Agence France Presse (AFP) on November 18, President Gen Pervez Musharraf said that Pakistan is not encouraged by the signals coming from India over its efforts to solve the Kashmir dispute. "The vibes that are now coming do not encourage a process of normalization," Musharraf said. Speaking at his Army House residence, President Musharraf expressed disappointment that his offers to wind back Pakistan's long-held demands on the disputed territory were unmatched by any flexibility from India. The president's reaction came after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ruled out considering new options floated by him for debate. "We will be flexible, never unilateral. Pakistan will never leave its stand (on plebiscite), alone," he said. "Why leave the plebiscite when the vibe on the other side is they don't want to move an inch beyond their stated position, that 'we are not moving an inch'? So we stand by our stated position...the plebiscite," he added. Also, the President "doubts" he will be able to shed his Army uniform by the end of the year in accordance with pledges he made 11 months ago. "Well, I did say that. But I try to see what is the environment, and the environment is at the moment very, very difficult internationally and regionally."

The Mehsud tribe has asked the government to return weapons and ammunition to tribesmen, which had been seized during the ongoing search operation in South Waziristan. About 700 elders and maliks of the Mehsud tribe, who gathered in Tank on November 22, condemned seizure of arms and weapons in the garb of search operation against foreign and local militants. "The government should immediately stop the operation, otherwise the Mehsud tribe would stop cooperating with the military authorities in curbing militancy in the area," the jirga members warned. They said the tribesmen kept arms and ammunition in their houses for personal security and it should not be linked with militancy in the region. The elders said the allied forces were also conducting a manhunt on the other side of the border adjacent to the Pakistani tribal territory, but they did not disarm the local population.

According to an official handout, Governor Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, Inspector General of the Frontier Corps (FC), Tariq Masood, and senior officials were present on the occasion. About 400 elders and maliks and three most wanted militants Maulvi Abbas, Maulvi Javed and Maulvi Abdul Aziz, who recently accepted a government amnesty, attended the jirga. Troops had entered the area in 2002 to launch an operation against foreign and local militants, extend the writ of the government to inaccessible tribal regions and carry out development activities. The army has nine check posts in Wana. Gen Safdar said that all interim check posts would be removed from Wana and innocent people taken prisoner would be released. "Peace has been restored in Wana and now the military will not use force in any part of the area," he declared.

On November 29, asserting that the terror infrastructure in Pakistan was "intact" irrespective of the recent thaw in Indo-Pak ties, Border Security Force (BSF) Director General Ajai Raj Sharma said Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)-calibrated infiltration attempts were still on and the terrorists were being given special training to negotiate the border fence. As part of this design, models of the fence and Indian troop positions have been prepared and the terrorists are being provided with plastic ladders and gloves, wire cutters and chemicals that have been specially procured for the purpose. Sharma added that infiltration had decreased during the last four months, mainly because of the vigil by the Indian forces, but around 300 terrorists were always present on "launching pads" waiting for an opportunity to sneak in.
