On October 1, India and Bangladesh decided to hold joint and co-ordinated patrolling of their 4,095 km-border and exchange information to curb trans-border crimes. Border Security Force (BSF) Director General Ajai Raj Sharma and his Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) counterpart Major General Jahangir Alam Chowdhury signed an agreement to this affect at the conclusion of a border co-ordination conference in New Delhi. "We will start the coordinated patrol very shortly," said Sharma, who led the Indian delegation at the five-day conference, adding that it was an important confidence building measure between the two forces. The personnel of both forces would 'move together' whenever required, said Gen. Chowdhury. The BDR chief, however, denied the Indian allegation that millions of Bangladeshi nationals are staying in India illegally. "There is not even a single illegal immigration from Bangladesh to India," he claimed. He also denied the existence of camps on Bangladeshi soil operated by terrorists active in India’s northeast.

At least 31 people were killed and 75 others sustained injuries in a suspected suicide bombing at a Shia mosque at Sialkot in the Punjab province on October 1 during the Friday prayers. More than 1,000 Shias were reportedly present at the Zainabia mosque, a kilometer away from the city police station on Raja Road, when the bomb exploded. Eyewitnesses said that a man, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, entered the mosque with a briefcase while the Friday sermon was being delivered. The Sialkot Police have indicated that the man with the briefcase was the main suspect, who also died in the blast. The army was deployed later to maintain law and order after angry mobs reacted by setting ablaze a gas station and two police vehicles to protest the blast. Security forces are also reported to have neutralised another explosive weighing 6.5-kg outside the same mosque. Eight suspects had been detained after preliminary investigations. While no group has claimed responsibility for the blast thus far, officials in Islamabad said that it could be in retaliation for the last week’s operation in which Amjad Farooqi, a suspected Al Qaeda operative, was killed by security agencies. Farooqi, a key suspect in two assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf, was also affiliated to the outlawed Sunni outfit, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ).

The Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) chief, Qazi Hussain Ahmed, said on October 1 that President Pervez Musharraf is part of "global terrorism unleashed by the United States and its western allies", and not a partner to the anti-terrorism movement. He said this during an opening address at the JeI’s three-day annual congregation at Azakhel Park in Peshawar. The JeI chief alleged that the US and its allies had "made lives of the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Palestine and held Kashmir miserable." Contrary to the wishes of Muslims, he added, Gen. Musharraf was carrying out the political agenda of the United States and making his own countrymen a victim of terrorism in South Waziristan and Balochistan.

The Union Home Minister, Shivraj Patil, on October 3 accepted the Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's suggestion for a coordinated action by the North-Eastern States against terrorist outfits active in the region. Talking to reporters in Guwahati, Patil said the Union Home Ministry was in contact with other States in the region and was likely to give effect to the suggestion. He also said the Government "would not spare anyone involved in these incidents of mindless violence." The Minister is also reported to have reviewed the law and order situation in Assam with Gogoi and senior security officials in the light of continuing terrorist violence. Asked which outfit was behind the twin blasts in Dimapur, Nagaland, a day earlier, Patil said it was the handiwork of "some people who were trying to spread terror in the region and who did not want the peace process initiated by the Government to continue." He also said it would not be wise to come to any immediate conclusion when asked if he thought any foreign agencies were involved. During his visit to Dimapur, the Home Minister reportedly said the Centre would try to put in place soon a long-term strategy to tackle the insurgency. Stress would be laid on coordination among the law-enforcing agencies, the Army and the paramilitary forces in the North-Eastern States, stated Patil.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has reportedly rejected Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's conditional cease-fire offer. However, the outlawed outfit said it will consider a proposal of talks with the Union Government only if it came out with a "written commitment to discuss the sovereignty issue." A caller, claiming to be the ULFA ‘Commander-in-Chief’ Paresh Barua, told some local dailies in Guwahati over telephone on October 3 that Gogoi was just the head of a "puppet government put into place by the Centre and he had no authority to present an offer of ceasefire." "Any ceasefire offer with a written assurance of a discussion on sovereignty must have to come from the Union government. After getting such a gesture from the Centre, ULFA might consider the offer to come to the negotiation table," Barua said. The Assam Government, on September 30, had offered a conditional cease-fire provided the outfit terminated all violence and had asked the ULFA to respond within a fortnight so that a cease-fire can be declared from October 16.

At least 38 people have reportedly been killed and more than 100 injured in two bomb blasts in the city of Multan on October 7, today. According to the BBC, the attack occurred at about 4.40AM (PST) when hundreds of people had gathered to mark the first anniversary of the killing of Sunni leader and Sipah-e-Sahaba (SSP) chief Maulana Azim Tariq outside Islamabad. "It seems to be an act of sectarian terrorism, but we are still investigating," Multan's deputy police chief Arshad Hameed told the Associated Press. While no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, police suspect the involvement of outlawed Shia groups. The Associated Press reported that the first blast came from a car bomb and another minutes later from a device on a motorcycle. The attack comes almost a week after a suicide attacker detonated a bomb inside a crowded Shia mosque in the eastern city of Sialkot, killing 31 people and injuring more than 50.

While Allama Syed Taqi Naqvi, a leader of the proscribed Shia group Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan (TJP) said, "This was terrorism and no Shia was involved in it. The possibility of foreign involvement cannot be ruled out," reports quoting police sources said banned Shia organisation Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan (SMP) was the prime suspect. A major crackdown was reportedly launched against SMP activists throughout Punjab. An unnamed officer was quoted as saying that "Among militant Shia organisations, only SMP had the capability to carry out such an attack… but the SMP has been quite inactive since the arrest of its chief, Ghulam Raza Naqvi. Many of its frontline activists have fled the country."

According to The Hindu, on October 12 in Hyderabad, the People's War Group (PWG) leaders, Ramakrishna, Sudhakar, Ganesh and Janasakthi representatives, Amar and Riyaz, stated that "we believe that the overthrowing process is not possible by bringing down one ruling clique and giving power to another through elections which are a sham. We think protracted armed struggle is the only route that can ultimately raise the consciousness of the masses and put the real State power in their hands." They also said the outfit was prepared for talks with the Government as part of the struggle and their "basic objectives" were non-negotiable. "We are not going to give up our protracted armed struggle to our basic objectives of land, livelihood and liberation", they added. 'State secretary' of the PWG, Akkiraju Haragopal alias Ramakrishna, in that same meeting, made it clear that the outfit will return to its `old methods' if the talks with the Government fail. He declared that the ultimate goal of political power could be achieved only through armed struggle. He also justified the violence resorted to by Naxalites saying it was a 'counter violence' to the 'State violence'.

Announcing the launch of a political party, Tamileela Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP), the former military 'commander' of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan alias 'Colonel' Karuna, on October 12, tendered his "apologies to the Tamil people" for past killings and asserted that he would "never leave the liberation struggle." Karuna also claimed that his former leader, V. Prabhakaran, was "solely responsible" for the Tamils not reaching the LTTE's goal of Tamil Eelam. According to him, "in fact, Tamil Eelam should have been achieved 15 years ago," but as "he [Prabhakaran] was a terrorist, other countries placed roadblocks and denied our reasonable aspiration for liberation." He added that India's support was lost due to the "atrocious act" of assassinating the former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, which he said "took place without consulting the important leaders of the outfit." While Muralitharan was named president of the TMVP, G.R. Gnanaraja, who is closely linked to the Eelam National Democratic Liberation Front, was designated as general secretary.

Eight of the released LTTE cadres (four males and four females) were arrested on July 14, 2003 in Kalladi, Batticaloa and detained under the Offensive Weapons Ordinance.

On October 14, the People’s War Group (PWG) ‘State secretary’, Ramakrishna, at a news conference in Hyderabad, announced that the left wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) outfits, the PWG and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) have merged to form a new "unified" Communist Party of India (Maoist). He said the party was formed on September 21, 2004 at an undisclosed place in the forests, but the announcement was "withheld" owing to security reasons. The general secretary of the PWG ‘central committee’, Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi, had been elected ‘general secretary’ of the new party. Ramakrishna and Janasakthi leaders said that the merger would cause "fear among the ruling classes." It had "fulfilled the aspirations of the masses" for a strong revolutionary party that would usher in a "new democratic society" by advancing towards socialism and communism, Ramakrishna added. They also stated that the two guerrilla "armies" of the PWG and the MCC — the People's Guerrilla Army (PGA) and the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) — have now merged and would be called the PLGA from December 2, 2004.

According to The Times of India, the peace talks between representatives of the left wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) outfits and the Andhra Pradesh Government did not progress much as expected due to serious reservations by both the parties over the issue of Naxalites carrying guns into villages. The Naxalite outfits claimed a broad agreement was reached on this matter but Home Minister K Jana Reddy disputed that claim. He insisted he was still not agreeable to extremists carrying weapons during political activities and asked the talk referees to persuade them to eschew guns. The Naxalites, however, agreed to make disputed clause VII of the ceasefire agreement, which stipulates laying down of weapons, a part of the agenda for the talks, which will resume on October 16, today. ‘State secretary’ of the erstwhile People’s War Group (PWG), Ramakrishna, who briefed the media separately, said despite reservations, both sides had reached an agreement on the terms of the ceasefire, which would be signed on October 16, today. Accordingly, the guerrillas would not cease to carry weapons into villages, he added. The Hindu reports that the first round of peace talks between the Andhra Pradesh Government and PWG, Janashakti resulted in a ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire will be in force "as long as the talks continue" and not merely for three months as announced earlier by the Government. The agreement was reached without a written document signed by both the sides. The five-member Naxalite team insisted on the Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy's signature after preparation of a document. But the latter held that such an arrangement was needless. He pointed out that the existing ceasefire was being implemented on the basis of the correspondence between them during the last four months. With the weapons issue taking most of the time, the first day's talks did not make much headway on the 10-point agenda. Jana Reddy headed the government team, which comprised of Minister for Revenue Dharmana Prasada Rao, Social Welfare Minister D Redya Naik, Municipal Administration Minister K Ranga Rao, former Minister T Purushotham Rao, P Venkat Rao and Tirupati Urban Development Auth-ority chairman Karunakar Reddy and former minister K Kesava Rao. The erstwhile PWG team was led by its ‘secretary’ Ramakrishna. The other members of the team were Sudhakar, ‘secretary’ of the ‘Andhra-Orissa Border Special Zone Committee’, and Ganesh, member of the ‘North Telangana Special Zonal Committee’. Janashakti was represented by its ‘secretaries’ Amar and Riaz. The members of the monitoring committee and mediators including P Vara Vara Rao, Gaddar, G Kalyan Rao, C Srinivas Rao, Chandranna, Kannabiran, S R Sankaran, P Venkateswara Rao, A B K Prasad, Seshaiah, Bojja Tarakam, Haragopal, Kesava Rao Jadav, Prof Ghanta Chakrapani were also present during the first day of talks.

However, Minister of State for Religious Affairs Dr Amir Liaqat Hussain told a private television channel that the clerics pledged to issue a decree calling suicide attacks on Shia and Sunni mosques un-Islamic.

The Hindu reports that negotiations between the Government and the left wing extremists (also called Naxalites) failed to make headway on the second day on October 16 as the CPI (Maoists) and CPI-ML (Janashakti) representatives insisted on a commitment to end repression against the 'people's movements' before taking up the main agenda. The Naxalites put forth four demands — withdrawal of criminal cases against participants in people's struggles, release of political prisoners, scrapping of rewards on the heads of revolutionaries and a check on the activities of anti-social elements and armed mafia gangs. This came as a surprise to the Government side, led by the Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy, which expected the naxalites to abide by their resolve to take up "people's agenda." After eight-hour long negotiations, Mr. Jana Reddy stated that the issues raised by Naxalites would be referred to the Government and the final decision made known before conclusion of the current round of negotiations.

According to the Hindu, left wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) leaders of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and Janashakti on October 19 stated that the success of the negotiations would depend squarely on the State Government's sincerity in meeting their demands, particularly the central issue of land distribution. At a press conference in Hyderabad, the CPI-Maoist ‘secretary’, Ramakrishna and the Janashakti ‘secretary’, Amar, said four demands raised during the talks — withdrawal of cases against persons involved in struggles, release of political prisoners, scrapping of rewards on the heads of wanted Naxals and disbanding of armed gangs — could be conceded immediately. They admitted that the Government might require five to six months for the other major demands to be met. They also demanded that the proposed body to identify surplus land should not have judges and bureaucrats. It should be filled with `democrats and mass organisations' in consultation with them. Condemning the remarks of the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, that the Naxalite leaders were talking irrationally, they accused him of talking irresponsibly.

Addressing a gathering of editors and senior journalists at an iftar dinner in Islamabad on October 25, President General Pervez Musharraf said a stage had come to move forward for a solution to the Kashmir issue since a great deal of progress in this direction had been made already. Rejecting the Line of Control (LoC) as a permanent border, he explained the geographical status of Kashmir, which, he said, was divided in seven regions – five with India and two with Pakistan. "The beauty of these regions is that they are still religion based even if we consider them geographically." President Musharraf offered "food for thought" by suggesting that the debate could be initiated in the context of a three-pronged discourse. First, identify the region at stake. Second, demilitarize it. Third, change its status. He suggested there were many options which could then be considered, and legal experts on both sides could then look at the pros and cons of ideas for joint control, UN mandates, condominiums, and so on. He added Pakistan had proposed demilitarization of held Kashmir and if India came up with a similar proposal asking Pakistan to do likewise in Azad Kashmir, then these issues would need to be discussed and Pakistan would have to build a consensus for moving forward.

Daily Times quoting the Spanish newspaper El Pais reports that the ten Pakistanis arrested in Barcelona in mid-September this year were believed to have funded Al Qaeda operatives by transferring money to Pakistan from Spain. The paper, citing sources close to the investigation, reported that the men had wired money earlier this year to three collaborators of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was suspected of planning the September 11 attacks. The report did not name the collaborators but said that they had been arrested in a raid earlier this year in Pakistan, which had left one of them dead. Spanish authorities had detained the Pakistanis on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist organisation and it is believed that the men could have made up to 18,000 euros ($23,000) per day from drug trafficking, stolen bank cards and counterfeit passports.
