According to Assam Tribune, 68 militants, including 66 United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and two Adivasi National Liberation Army (ANLA) cadres, surrendered to the security forces in a surrender ceremony at the firing range of the 4 Assam police Battalion Headquarters at Kahilipara in the Guwahati city on November 1. The surrendered ULFA cadres comprised four ‘sergeant majors’ and six ‘sergeants’, including Bipul Neog alias Ujjal Gohain. Four women, including ‘sergeant major’ Tulshi Rabha alias Malati Santosh, were among the surrendered cadres. Eight AK-56 rifles, five pistols, ten revolvers, a single-shot pistol, 11 No. 36 grenades, 16 Chinese grenades, eight AK-56 magazines, 145 rounds of AK-series ammunition, 55 rounds of 9-mm ammunition, four rounds of .22 ammunition, an RT set, three electronic detonators, five No. 36 grenade detonators, three gelatine sticks, five kg RDX, a packet of Cordex wire, an RPG cell and five PTD switch were deposited by the cadres. The militants revealed that the surrender was because of a growing dissension and disillusionment among the ULFA cadres, which, according to them, had made them part with the outfit. Bhaskar Bora, a ‘sergeant’ of the ULFA from Tinsukia district, said, "The revolutionary ideals of the ULFA, which drew me to the outfit, are as good as non-existent now. There is an all-pervasive depression and gloom among the cadres due to the complete absence of internal democracy in the outfit’s functioning. The ULFA is running out of time to reform it and restore internal democracy." The Inspector General of Police (Special Branch), Khagen Sharma, said that 13,269 militants, including 8718 of the ULFA, had surrendered since 1991.

Virk added that food and ammunition had been provided to police holed up in a police station in Matta. "It’s too dangerous to evacuate them now. They can better defend themselves from inside," he stated.

Cadres of the Young Communist League (YCL) captured and severely assaulted two persons in the premises of Ministry of Local Development in Kathmandu on November 1, Nepal News reports. According to Police, around 10 YCL cadres captured construction entrepreneur Ram Kumar Ghimire and his neighbour Shiva Thapa from the premises of the ministry. They severely assaulted both of them before taking them to their office. YCL owned the responsibility for the incident and said that they were compelled to take such an action against the two because they were involved in ‘hooliganism’ inside the ministry. YCL district secretary Biswas said that they acted on complaints that Ghimire and Thapa had roughed up two contractors who had gone to the ministry to buy tender forms for a road construction project.

S. P. Thamilselvan, the political wing leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its de-facto number two, was killed in a Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) air strike at dawn on November 2, reports Daily News. The SLAF MiG 27 and Kfir fighter jets which went into action on the morning took precise targets in the south of Kilinochchi resulting in the death of 40-year-old Thamilchelvan and five other outfit leaders. The SLAF spokesman Group Captain Ajantha Silva confirmed that both Kfir and MiG 27 fighter jets carried out operations in Thiruvaiaru, a location three kilometres South of Kilinochchi around 6am on ‘very reliable information’, identifying the location as a meeting place of LTTE leaders. "Our pilots had taken a precise target and it was further confirmed with the LTTE admitting that Thamilselvan was killed in the air strike," Silva said, adding, "Simultaneously the fighter jets also pounded a Black Tiger camp in the East of Iranamadu." Five other leaders ‘Lt. Col.’ Anpumani alias Alex, ‘Major’ Mihuthan, ‘Major’ Nethagy, ‘Lieutenant’ Adchgivel and ‘Lieutenant’ Vahakai Kumaran were also killed in the air strike. Their meeting place has now been confirmed as an international communications centre run by ‘Lt. Col’ Alex. It was also a centre for logistics, arms procurement, fund raising and operational matters. The LTTE posthumously promoted Thamilchelvan to the self styled rank of ‘Brigadier’ after his death. According to sources this is the first occasion the outfit has promoted one of their leaders to the rank of a ‘Brigadier’. It has also declared three days of mourning in areas they dominate. Meanwhile, the LTTE chief Prabhakaran has appointed P. Nadesan as the new Political Head. The LTTE’s military spokesman Irasiah Ilanthirayan said that Nadesan, who is currently in charge of Tamil Eelam Police, will be in charge of the two departments from now on.

Shillong Times quoting Meghalaya Police source reports that the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) was using women as its agents to extort money from places where the finance wing of the organisation failed to penetrate. "Even after the arrest of a few women who worked for the HNLC in the past, some women are still helping the outfit in collecting money in Shillong and Dawki in Jaintia Hills," a senior unnamed police official said on November 4. He said that before going on extortion drive, the women made ‘missed calls’ to top HNLC leaders based in Bangladesh, who helped them with ways and means to negotiate the amount. A prepaid mobile phone having a balance of INR 800 to INR 900 was reportedly used by the women to send "missed calls" to Bangladesh, mentioned the police officer. The report added that the arrest of a woman, Velvet Rose Jana, who accompanied HNLC militants to assassinate HS Shylla, the Chief Executive Member of the KHADC, in August 2007, revealed that she had extorted money on behalf of the outfit from businessmen. She confessed to have worked in tandem with her husband, Tome Jones Rynjah, to spread the activities of the HNLC including extortion in Shillong. Police had arrested the couple from Mawlai Syllaikriah locality of Shillong for their role in leading the HNLC cadres to the house of Shylla. According to A.R. Mawthoh, the Superintendent of Police of the West Khasi Hills district, the HNLC courier recently sent INR 400, 000 to Bobby Marwein, the ‘commander-in-chief’ of the outfit, based in Bangladesh.

Daily Times quoting officials and witnesses reports that pro-Taliban militants captured one police station, paramilitary force camp and other government buildings at Kalam on November 7, extending their hold over the Swat valley. Militants loyal to the rebel cleric Maulana Fazlullah are reportedly in control of six tehsils (revenue division), including Kabal, Matta, Khawazakhela, Charbagh, Maydan and Kalam, out of the eight tehsils in the Swat district. According to Online, the militants have ‘appointed’ officials in the towns they control and ‘seized’ government and non governmental organisation vehicles. An unnamed police official said that dozens of paramilitary troops and police surrendered their weapons to the militants and retreated from Kalam on November 7. Before taking Kalam, the militants captured the town of Bahrain, having seized Madyan on November 6, officials and residents said. Local residents said a jirga (council) of elders later pledged to support the militants if they agreed to leave the town. “We did this because we feared gunship helicopters will also pound our areas if the militants stayed in control….We asked the Taliban to leave Kalam and they granted our request,” said a local elder Hameed Kalami.

According to Telegraph, Rev.

Terhuja said, “Naga society is plunging evermore deeply into destructive divisions.” The Church leader added, “Arbitrary elimination of lives” had made Naga society weaker and under no circumstances, should human life be arbitrary snapped. Terhuja said the people expected “those conducting the Naga struggle” to be more responsible as their actions had often led to the loss of lives. The Church has long been engaged in a campaign to unite the warring Naga factions and is known for its bold and non-partisan stand. But Terhuja admitted that the Church had failed to meet the challenges and needs of Naga society.

Daily Times reports that government amended the Army Act of 1952 and President General Pervez Musharraf would issue an ordinance allowing military courts to prosecute terrorists and any civilians suspected of terrorist or subversive activity on November 9 (today). The amendment would allow intelligence agencies to apprehend any person suspected of terrorism. Attorney General Malik Muhammad Qayyum addressing the Geo News channel said that some new clauses and offences were being added to the existing Army Act to provide legal cover to law enforcement agencies. He said the ordinance would allow law enforcement agencies to legally arrest and prosecute alleged terrorists without an arrest warrant. Qayyum added that the new ordinance was necessary and inevitable for protecting the sovereignty of the country, and it would be similar to the United States’ Patriot Act. The amendment in the Army Act is missing persons specific, the channel reported. It said that the Supreme Court had questioned the intelligence agencies’ legal authority to apprehend and detain people during the missing persons’ case and this ordinance sought to redress that. The channel said that following the enactment of this ordinance, people arrested and shifted to an unknown location would not have to be presented before any court of law. It reported that the families of missing persons could not ask the courts to force law enforcement agencies to produce suspected terrorists.

Musharraf ruled out the possibility of the reinstatement of sacked judges, reports Daily Times. “Those who have not taken oath under the PCO are no longer judges,” he said. Referring to the judicial crisis, he mentioned that the incident after March 9 had created a situation in the country, which brought a lot of trouble. “Should I have done this? Maybe no. But once a process had been initiated, I had to refer the case to the Supreme Judicial Council,” he said, adding that it all happened because of “one person”. He explained the reasons of sending the presidential reference to the Supreme Judicial Council, and said the matter and the contents of the case were never heard in the court. “I had good relations with the former chief justice, but I had to act constitutionally,” he said. About former Chief Justice (CJ) Iftikhar Chaudhry, he said, “Civil servants were being harassed and humiliated while the former CJ himself was demanding extra ordinary protocol.” He accused the former CJ of having directly interfered in the working of the government by blocking the privatisation process and taking innumerable suo motu actions. He also accused the former CJ to have been involved in corruption in matters related to his personal allowances, appointments of judges and his son. “However, former CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry’s manhandling was the most regrettable incident,” he said.

He also said that the National Assembly and provincial assemblies would be dissolved in coming days, upon completion of their terms. Speaking in a news conference, he further said that he would quit the military and be sworn in as a civilian president as soon as the Supreme Court struck down challenges to his October 6 re-election. He, however, declined to say when the constitution would be restored or emergency lifted. He said the decision to impose the emergency had been the hardest he had ever taken but said it reinforced the battle against militants and ensured fair polls. "Certainly, the emergency is required to ensure peace in Pakistan, to ensure an environment conducive for elections", he said. Earlier, he had said that the election would be held by mid-February.

The former Prime Minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairperson Benazir Bhutto has called upon General Pervez Musharraf to step down as president, saying there is little possibility now of her working with him even if he doffs his uniform, according to Dawn. She made the demand on November 13-morning as the Punjab government initiated a massive police action and arrested nearly 100 PPP workers and senior leaders from various parts of Lahore to foil her party’s planned ‘long march for democracy’. The PPP claims that more than 400 workers have been arrested. Talking to reporters by telephone, Benazir Bhutto said Gen. Musharraf had lost the confidence of people and he was incapable of resolving the crisis. “I’ve tried to work with him and negotiated with him to ensure a smooth and peaceful transfer of power to people through fair, free and transparent elections. But he has made a mess of everything,” she said. Benazir, who was detained on November 12-night for seven days in Lahore by the provincial government under section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order to prevent her from leading the party’s march, also said that she was trying to forge a united front of all opposition parties on a one-point agenda of launching a joint struggle for democracy and rule of law. “I have contacted Jamaat-i-Islami Amir Qazi Hussain Ahmed, Awami National Party leader Asfandyar Wali and some Baloch leaders, including Hasil Bizenjo, for a united front of the opposition. I’m already in contact with Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leader Nawaz Sharif and will also contact Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf chief Imran Khan,” she said in reply to a question.

A bomb planted near a girls’ primary school in Adina, some 18km west of Swabi, exploded on November 14-morning, damaging its boundary wall and windows. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast, but about 10 days ago a letter sent by the local Tehrik-i-Taliban to non-governmental organisations and schools run by them, video centres and internet cafes in the district had asked them to wind up their activities and businesses. Police confirmed that the letter had warned teachers and students of girls’ schools to wear burqa (veil) or thick chador and asked women not to go to markets. Parents were asked to stop sending their daughters to schools. The school in Adina has been built by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.

For the first time in the last 18 years of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, the Army has recovered a war time weapon which has the capacity of hitting a target from a distance of over 1,200 metres and destroying tanks and armoured vehicles. Defence spokesman at headquarters of the 15 Corps, Lt Col A. K. Mathur, informed that the troops had launched a search operation in the dense Hafruda forest cover in Handwara-Kupwara belt on November 15 and seized one 82-mm smooth bore breech-loaded tripod-mounted, recoilless anti-tank gun of Chinese make with its optical sight. He said that the weapon was in serviceable condition and had been delivered to target convoys of armed forces and armoured vehicles, including the bullet-proof bunkers and IED-proof Caspers. Col Mathur said that the major weapon recovered today had the potential of destroying targets, including tanks, much like the militants do in Afghanistan and Iraq. Further, an assortment of 700 Pika rounds, 300 AK rounds, 29 UBGL grenades, four remote control IED boxes, 10 AK-47 magazines and two Sniper magazines were also recovered from the same hideout in Kupwara district.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a bandh (strike) in the States of Bihar and Jharkhand on November 19 and 20 in protest against the Nandigram killings in West Bengal and in support of the "struggling" farmers who are threatened to be uprooted from their land. Times of India reports that the two-day strike has been called by the Central Committee and the Special Area Committees of West Bengal and Bihar-Jharkhand of the CPI-Maoist. "The red flag bearing government of West Bengal has come out openly in support of the capitalists. It has started uprooting farmers and their families from the land to make room for industrialists," said a statement issued by the Bihar-Jharkhand special area committee secretary, Rakesh, and West Bengal state committee secretary, Somen. The CPI-Maoist has reportedly alerted all its members, sub-committees, squads, militia and People Liberation Guerilla Army to ensure that the strike is successful.

The Justice K.N. Saikia Commission has indicted the former Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, the then police hierarchy and the Home Ministry for the “extra-constitutional killings” which occurred in Assam during 1998-2001, according to The Hindu. “There is enough evidence to show that the then Home Minister was at the helm of these extra-constitutional killings,” the one-man Commission said. Mahanta, who was heading the Asom Gana Parishad-led government, was also Home Minister during this period. The report of the Commission, constituted by the State government to probe the “secret killings” of family members of leaders and cadres of the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), was tabled in the Legislative Assembly by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on November 15. About the motive behind the “secret killings,” the Commission said it was “perpetuation of the Asom Gana Parishad rule by villainy, treachery and monstrous cruelty and dangerous propensity.” The Commission recommended to the government “to try to first keep in abeyance, and then gradually dismantle” the Unified Command structure of the Army, the Assam police and the Central paramilitary forces as an immediate measure to prevent recurrence of such killings. The government also tabled the preliminary report of the Justice J.N. Sharma Commission, constituted prior to the setting up of the Saikia Commission. Justice Sharma said he was not able to identify the killers and accomplices, and pinpoint responsibility.

30 more people, including 20 militants and four civilians, were killed and more than 70 others, including 50 civilians, injured as security forces continued bombing suspected militants’ hideouts in the Shangla and Swat districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on the third consecutive day on November 15, according to The News. Military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad confirmed that 20 militants were killed - 12 of them in Shangla and eight in Swat. He said several militants were injured and their bunkers destroyed in the daylong shelling by the gunship helicopters and artillery in both the districts. The spokesman termed as baseless the militants’ claim that 60 soldiers were killed in Shangla in two days of fighting. Further, Gen Waheed admitted to have received some reports about civilian casualties in the Shangla district, but did not provide any details. “For the first time the troops have started operation to clear the Bisham-Shangla road and attacked a critical gorge about 5km from Alpuri. We have reports of the killing of 12 militants in that action,” Gen Arshad told Dawn. He claimed that the militants had abandoned Alpuri and fled to the mountains near Mingora.

On November 16, the Chief of the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN), Ian Martin, revealed that lack of proper mechanism to monitor the implementation of agreements reached earlier has led the peace process to crucial stage. Martin said, "The weaknesses of implementation of commitments so far indicate that mechanism for negotiations and follow-up could be more systematic and effective." However, the cabinet meeting, on November 14, passed a proposal extending the tenure of the UNMIN by six months after it expires in January, 2008. The meeting, however, did not decide on widening the mandate of the UNMIN. The UN had shown willingness to take up further responsibilities in implementing the agreements between the government and the Maoists. The cabinet decision would now be put forth at SPA meeting for final decision after which a formal letter would be handed over to the UN requesting extension of UNMIN tenure.

Dubai based Geo News and ARY One World stopped transmitting on all frequencies on November 17 (today)- morning. The Government of United Arab Emirates (UAE) asked the Geo News to shut down its national and international transmissions following the constant pressure of Pakistan’s Government. Geo News President Imran Aslam said the channel was shutting down under government pressure. He said that talks to resume the channel’s transmissions in Pakistan were presently underway with the country’s government, but the conditions put forward by the government were unacceptable for the channel’s administration. Pakistan People’s Party leader Makhdoom Amin Fahim termed the closure of Geo News a “big dilemma”. He said access to information was the people’s right and no one had the authority to snatch that fundamental right from them. All cable operators in Pakistan reportedly blocked Geo News and its subsidiary channels on November 3, when President General Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency.

According to The News, more than 40 people, including 10 civilians, were killed in the Swat and Shangla districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on November 18 when gunship helicopters and security forces continued targeting militants’ hideouts and faced retaliation. Approximately 30 civilians were injured in the prolonged shelling by military choppers and artillery in the two districts.

Gen Waheed also termed a claim made by militants’ spokesman Sirajuddin to have killed 45 Pakistani soldiers in the Belay Baba area of Shangla district as baseless and ridiculous, saying that when the ground forces did not take part in any kind of activity, then how did they kill the soldiers.

The visiting US Deputy Secretary of State, John Negroponte, on November 18 urged President General Pervez Musharraf to end the state of emergency before holding elections, according to Daily Times. “Emergency rule is not compatible with free, fair and credible elections, which require the active participation of political parties, civil society and the media,” he said. Speaking at a press conference at the US Embassy, he termed the recent police action against protesters, the suppression of media and the arrests of political and human rights leaders as “unfortunate”. He said the sacking of the Supreme Court’s justices also ran counter to the progress made by the country. Negroponte is reported to have encouraged reconciliation between Pakistan’s moderate political forces as the most constructive way forward for the country. “In the current circumstances, engagement and dialogue — not brinkmanship and confrontation — should be the order of the day for all parties,” he stated. He also said that “the best way for any country to counter violent extremism is to develop and nurture a moderate political centre.” Negroponte added that President Musharraf was a strong voice against extremism and the US valued its relations with Pakistan under his leadership. “President Musharraf has been and continues to be a strong voice against extremism,” he noted. In response to Negroponte’s comments, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mohammed Sadiq told The Associated Press that “This is nothing new… The US has been saying this for many days.

Nagaland Post reports that the Myanmar Government launched a counter-insurgency operation targeting the United Liberation Front (ULFA) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) militants operating in its territory. “The junta has launched an offensive against our bases in Myanmar,” NSCN-K leader A.Z. Jami told PTI over phone. He said apart from the NSCN-K, ULFA and other North Eastern militant outfits were targeted in the operation. “We are yet to get actual picture of the situation as well as casualties, but it has certainly affected us badly,” Jami said. However, the Assam Rifles denied knowledge of any operation carried out by Myanmar. “We have no such information so far,” Assam Rifles spokesperson Col. Sahidul Islam said over phone from Shillong. However, an unnamed commander of the Assam Rifles said that camps belonging to the ULFA were neutralised in Myanmar's Sagaing division. “The offensive is continuing... since the last four days with some key ULFA bases demolished according to information available so far,” he told AFP.

On November 19, CPI-Maoist cadres blew up an office of the Jharkhand Agriculture Marketing Board in the Hussainabad block of Palamau district while enforcing a 48-hour shutdown to protest the violence in West Bengal's Nandigram region, according to IANS. After bombing the building in Hussainabad, Maoists left pamphlets claiming responsibility for the blast, said a police official. Meanwhile, the shutdown evoked a mixed response in the State. While there was no impact on life in the urban areas, rural areas were affected. Long distance buses did not ply and although no train was cancelled, railway stations wore a deserted look. Mining activities were also affected. 'No untoward incidents, except the blowing up of a marketing board building, have been reported in the state. This time Maoists have not damaged railway properties,' said Gauri Shankar Rath, Additional Director General of Police.

According to The News, at least 30 more militants loyal to the pro-Taliban group TNSM were killed in clashes with security forces (SFs) in the Swat valley of NWFP, the army said on November 20. The latest deaths take the toll reported by the army from a week of fighting to around 150. "Our offensive against militants has been continuing since last night and there are reports that 20 to 30 more militants have been killed," military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad told AFP. Maulana Fazlullah’s spokesman, meanwhile, claimed that 15 soldiers had been killed and their weapons seized in the Shangla district, but the calm could not be confirmed from independent sources, Dawn reported. Waheed said troops were now controlling a key road in Swat's Shangla district, which leads to Alpuri. Residents in different areas of Swat valley said that gunfire continued and helicopters hovered in the sky as scores of people abandoned their homes in the Dagai and Akhund Kalai areas of Kabal sub-division. The military had asked the residents to vacate the area on November 19 so that there are no civilian casualties. Witnesses said people were moving towards safer areas with their belongings packed in vehicles. Civilians were reported fleeing in large numbers from various parts of Shangla and the government sought the help of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to set up four relief camps, according to Dawn.

15 persons were killed and 80 others injured in the near-simultaneous blasts targeting lawyers in court premises in the three cities of Varanasi, Faizabad and Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. In Varanasi, three blasts killed 11 persons and injured 45 people. Four persons were killed and 14 injured in two explosions at Faizabad. In Lucknow, there was only one blast and no casualty was reported. Police sources said the banned Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami was behind the blasts, Hindustan Times. They suspected that the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants sought the help of HuJI as both have close ties with each other. The report added that on November 17, lawyers of the Sessions Court in Lucknow assaulted three JeM militants who had planned to abduct Congress party General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. Lawyers of the State had also refused to represent Wali Ullah, mastermind of the March 2006 blasts at the Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi as also Jalaluddin Molla, a key HuJI militant arrested in the State in June 2007. Ammonium Nitrate and timer devices were used in triggering the blasts in Lucknow and Varanasi, according to a PTI report. The Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal, who described the incidents as "pre-planned conspiracy", said the organisation behind the attack was yet to be identified.

According to IANS, the Jharkhand Police have decided to form motorcycle squads equipped with the latest weapons to fight the Maoists. “The cops manning the squad will be given special training to fight the rebels. In hilly areas, Maoists take advantage of jungles while escaping. Bikes will be helpful as it is difficult to chase any one on four wheelers inside jungles,” an unnamed police official told IANS on November 24. “In jungles, Maoists detonate vehicles by triggering landmine blasts. But it will be difficult to blast bikes,” he added. Each squad will have at least 24 police personnel on 12 bikes. There will be at least two bike squads in each of the Maoist-dominated districts. Latest bikes with the maximum horsepower will be purchased and police personnel selected for the squads will be trained to fight Maoists in the forests. So far Jharkhand has constituted five special teams to fight the insurgents. They include personnel of the Special Task Force, Indian Reserve Battalion and Grey Hound Force.

The Governor of Goa, S. C. Jamir, survived an assassination attempt on November 24 when his convoy was attacked with improvised explosive device (IED) blasts in the Mokokchung district of Nagaland, according to Times of India. Two security force personnel were injured in the attack, which was the fourth attempt on the life of the former Nagaland Chief Minister. Officials said the attack occurred when Jamir's 30-vehicle convoy was passing near Changki around 6 am (IST). He was coming from his hometown, Mokokchung, and was heading towards the State's commercial hub of Dimapur, the officials added. Sources said four of the six IEDs planted by militants exploded seconds after Jamir's vehicle passed by. Police suspect the attack was the handiwork of NSCN-IM, which had earlier dubbed Jamir as "anti-people and anti-national". However, the Naga outfit denied its involvement and alleged that the attack was "stage-managed". "The life attempt was staged-managed to generate a sympathy wave for Jamir and Congress in Nagaland," an NSCN-IM statement said. In 1993, Jamir was injured in an attack at Nagaland House, New Delhi. Another abortive bid on his life was made in Kohima in 1995. Four years later, he escaped another ambush on the National Highway-39 near Kohima.

Former premier Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan on November 25 after eight years of exile and vowed to contest the general elections, Daily Times reported. Talking to the media after arriving in Lahore from Medina at 6.25pm (PST), he said all decisions regarding participation in elections would be made on the All Parties Democratic Movement (APDM)’s platform. He said the APDM would participate in the elections if General Pervez Musharraf withdrew the emergency declaration he issued on November 3 and released opposition members who had been jailed. “Everything that was done must be reversed and drawn back completely… You must have a level playing field for fair elections,” he said. He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would never welcome ‘turncoats’, adding that he wanted to unite the PML and the PML-N. He said he had made no deal with President Musharraf. “I haven’t met any Pakistani government functionary over the last eight years, although there were a lot of overtures from the Pakistani side to meet me and to talk to me,” he claimed. On Gen. Musharraf, the former Prime Minister stated that “He is not a legitimate president of the country. I do not accept that, not at all.” He added that there was “no question” to him ever agreeing to a power-sharing deal with Gen Musharraf as president and himself as prime minister. A spokesman for Gen. Musharraf told CNN on November 25 that there was no agreement or understanding with Nawaz Sharif. Thousands of PML-N workers and leaders had earlier broken through police barricades at the airport and welcomed Nawaz Sharif and his family. Nawaz said the arrested PML-N workers were proof that he had no deal with General Musharraf.

Maoist chairman Prachanda said on November 25 that the Constituent Assembly elections should be held only after the integration of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) into the Nepal Army and the restructuring of the state. Speaking at a programme organised by the Nepal National Intellectuals’ Association in Chitwan, he said, “The revamping of the state army and formation of a national army after the PLA’s integration and progressive restructuring of the state on racial, ethnic, gender and regional bases are mentioned in all agreements and understandings, including the 12-point pact reached with the parties,” adding that, “It will be a regressive step if the polls were to be held without integrating the PLA into the national army or restructuring the state.” Prachanda also said that all the past agreements have now become meaningless and that it is necessary to move ahead by forging a new understanding. “All the past agreements have been repeatedly flouted and now they have lost their meaning. So we have to forge a new understanding while still keeping the seven-party unity intact” he said.

The Sri Lanka Air Force on November 25 claimed to have destroyed a strategic communication centre in the Kilinochchi district, reports The Hindu. The Defence Ministry claimed that the LTTE had been coordinating its international terrorist activities from the place and it was known to be a highly secured palace where LTTE leaders frequently visit; and is equipped with sophisticated satellite communication devices. The fighter pilots have confirmed the target was effectively achieved. Quoting unnamed defence observers, the Ministry said the strike would have a devastating impact on the LTTE’s intelligence mechanism since its whereabouts were kept a top secret among LTTE heads. However, the LTTE disputed the claim and alleged that the Air Force bombed a civilian settlement in Tharmapuram killing three civilians and injuring seven others.

The court, however, declined grant of bail to six of the 25 appellants, who were awarded life imprisonment for conspiracy and other serious charges, and to one convict, who was sentenced to 10-year imprisonment. The bench posted the seven appeals to January 2008. Customs officer Somnath Thapa who was awarded life imprisonment by the TADA court was granted bail for one year on medical grounds. The bench said all those granted bail should furnish a bond subject to the satisfaction of the TADA Court. They should surrender their passports and for travel abroad, they must seek permission from the TADA court. They should also report to the Special Task Force of the Central Bureau of Investigation, Mumbai, once in three months.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Velupillai Prabhakaran declared in his annual ‘Hero’s Day’ speech on November 27 that peace with the ‘genocidal’ government was impossible, reports AFP. "The Sinhala nation is... trying to destroy the Tamil nation. It is unleashing unthinkable violence against another people. It only desires to find a solution to the Tamil question through military might and oppression." He said, “The current government is never going to realize that the Tamil national question cannot be resolved by military oppression. All the Sinhala political parties are essentially chauvinistic and anti- Tamil. To expect a political solution from any of these Southern parties is political naivety." He declared, "Those who plan to destroy the Tamil nation will in the end be forced to face their own destruction.” Making a appeal to the international community to change its approach to the Sri Lankan government, he claimed that the world today is making the same mistake India made vis-à-vis Colombo several years ago, adds Hindu.

At least 17 civilians were confirmed killed and 37 others injured as a suspected parcel bomb exploded near a popular fashion store at Nugegoda junction near Colombo around 5.55 pm on November 28, reports Daily News. Police believe that the bomb had been placed in one of the parcel counters at the No Limit clothing store by a suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militant who had left the incident site. The No Limit store and the adjoining building were damaged by the resulting explosion and fire. “The explosion was due to a suspicious parcel bomb kept in the parcel counter of the No Limit fashion shop,” military spokesperson Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News, adding, the bomb had exploded as a private security guard at the shop attempted to search a suspicious parcel kept in the parcel counter with the assistance of a Police officer on duty close to the Nugegoda junction. “… We have little doubt that this is a dastardly cowardly act by the LTTE of targeting the innocent civilians,” V.U.B.
