Official sources said the insurgent, a suspected member of the underground Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists), which has close links with the Gorkhaland Liberation Organisation (GLO), had probably come to sell weapons in India. Media reports quoting intelligence sources said the arrest indicated the prevalence of gun running in the region, which has of late become rampant with the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, funding terrorist outfits like the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) and the United Liberation Front of Asom (UlFA).

Claiming that all the 10 nominated candidates were innocent, Azam said, "When persons who have been proven guilty by the [Justice] Srikrishna Commission were allowed to contest elections and even made Ministers, why can't these innocent persons contest a small election?" He also said the party had received overwhelming public support for its decision and was considering nominating five more candidates detained under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA).

The Minister contended that there were safeguards for the security personnel during an open war, but in an abnormal situation of a proxy war, there were no legal provisions to protect police personnel who had done something in a bona fide manner to provide security to the common people.

President Chandrika Kumaratunga said on the state-owned television, on September 7, that the Norwegian facilitated peace process to resolve the country’s protracted ethnic conflict would continue. She, thus, set at rest apprehensions that the peace process may be relegated to the background in the wake of the Ruling People’s Alliance (PA) and the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bolster the PA’s strength in Parliament. "The talks with the LTTE are in no way affected," she assured. Talks with the LTTE will go on, the President said and added that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) told the Norwegians "we (the LTTE rebels) think the government is unstable we’ll see who will continue in power." Hence, the talks did not move further, the President said.

A news report on September 9 has indicated that intelligence reports submitted to the Prime Minister has said that the drive to impose ‘burqas’ (veils) on Muslim women in J&K was part of a strategy to enable terrorist attacks using this dress. As reported earlier, a new outfit, the Lashkar-e-Jabbar has announced that it would use violence to implement its directive that all Muslim women adopt an ‘Islamic dress codes’. The intelligence reports have reportedly observed that when implemented, it will be easier for the terrorists to launch attacks wearing the ‘burqas’. The intelligence reports have reportedly added that Lashkar-e-Jabbar was also receiving overt and covert support from the Pakistan-based Haqqania Madrassa, which in turn was funded by wealthy Pakistanis and other Muslims living in West Asian countries. The Haqqania Madrassa is also reported to have secured support from the Saudi terrorist, Osama bin Laden, currently based in Afghanistan. Laden is also suspected to be aiding the Lashkar-e-Jabbar.

A news report on September 9 quoting Inspector General (IG), Border Security Force (BSF) Baramulla Frontiers, Naresh Mehra, has indicated that the suicide squads, fidayeen, of various terrorist outfits operating in the State comprise terrorists highly addicted to drugs. The officer added that drugs have been found in the possession of most fidayeen who were either arrested or killed. These fidayeen largely hail from Afghanistan, Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Sudan. The IG also told a group of visiting journalists that with relentless counter-insurgency operations by the security forces (SFs), the present scenario indicates that terrorists are unable to secure local support and are also finding it difficult to establish their hideouts in towns and villages and are hence operating from the higher ridges which too are guarded by troops thus foiling their attempts to reassemble and dump their stock of arms, ammunition, explosive and logistics. The officer said that available reports indicate that a large number of foreign mercenaries comprising Pakistanis, Afghanis and Sudanese after undergoing various terms of imprisonment in Pakistani jails have been motivated and recruited by the country’s, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for launching them into Kashmir valley along with arms, ammunition as also fake currency. They have been tasked to undertake well-planned operations including fidayeen attacks on security forces camps, police stations, political leaders, bureaucrats, sources/ informers and surrendered terrorists.

The officer also revealed that a new strategy of the active terrorists outfits in the area is to motivate surrendered terrorists and push them back into militancy. In this context, he indicated that the monetary factor is being adopted to lure the surrendered militants. The officer also added that some surrendered terrorists were killed for not obliging the terrorist outfits. Naresh Mehra also observed that a well-organised motivation drive has been launched by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), an Islamic socio-religious organisation to lure the unemployed youth for joining various militant outfits. Providing further details to a shift in the terror tactics, he indicated that terrorists have now commenced operating in larger groups of eight to 10 members to attack isolated SF posts in order to inflict maximum casualties. This was unlike the previous years when they used to operate in smaller groups of two or three members. Terrorist outfits are also reported to have adopted hit and run tactics in certain crowded areas and markets to seek cover and maintain anonymity to avoid direct conflict with SFs. They have also reported to begun planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in abandoned houses, under vehicles, trees, road side slopes, culverts in tandem with second IED with dual initiation mode to cause maximum casualties. Plans to kill political leaders and to destablise the political system and normalcy in the State has reportedly become a top priority in the shifting terror tactics o the outfits..

According to official sources, the Union government has decided to review a 1979-contingency plan to deal with emergency situations following the situation that the US has come to face in the wake of the September 11-terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. An inter-ministerial group of bureaucrats and security officials held a meeting in New Delhi, on September 12, to review the contingency plan. It was felt that in the backdrop of the threats posed by cross-border terrorism and other forms of terrorist violence, several outdated aspects of the contingency plan needed to be scrapped. The contingency plan was last reviewed in 1987. Since then, the country has experienced two major terrorist strikes — the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts and the Kandahar hijack in 1999.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, in a telephonic interview to a news agency, on September 12, denied the role of the outfit in the terrorist attacks in the United States and said his group’s main focus remained on activities in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. He said, "The issue of Kashmir and America are two different matters and one should not be associated with the other." Describing as ‘wrong and baseless’ an earlier claim in the name of the LeT for the attacks in the US, he said, "These are aimed to defame [the] Lashkar, which was involved in the Jihad (holy war) in Jammu and Kashmir." On the September 11-attacks in the US, he said, "America has harassed and harmed a lot of people. It has conflicts with nations like Iraq. So the matter should be investigated thoroughly, instead of indulging in baseless allegations."

Even while appreciating President Pervez Musharraf’s offer of co-operation in tracking down the perpetrators of the attacks, US President George Bush, in a news conference in Washington on September 12, said that "US would give Pakistan a chance to cooperate for hunting down those behind these acts". Asked about the nature of co-operation offered by President Musharraf, President Bush said that "We don't know what that means". These remarks came amidst increased US official comments that Osama bin Laden, a Saudi exile presently based in Afghanistan, was the most likely suspect behind the hijack of four passenger airline planes and the subsequent attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington by the hijackers on September 11. Both, Osama bin Laden and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan have denied any links with those responsible for these attacks.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, in a telephonic interview to a news agency, on September 12, denied the role of the outfit in the terrorist attacks in the United States and said his group’s main focus remained on activities in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. He said, "The issue of Kashmir and America are two different matters and one should not be associated with the other." Describing as ‘wrong and baseless’ an earlier claim in the name of the LeT for the attacks in the US, he said, "These are aimed to defame [the] Lashkar, which was involved in the Jihad (holy war) in Jammu and Kashmir." On the September 11-attacks in the US, he said, "America has harassed and harmed a lot of people. It has conflicts with nations like Iraq. So the matter should be investigated thoroughly, instead of indulging in baseless allegations."

Addressing the nation in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001-terrorist attacks in the United States, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, on September 14, called for concerted action by the international community against the international network of terrorism. He said terrorism should be struck at its roots and governments who nurture and support terrorism should be held wholly accountable. He reminded that India had been alerting the international community for the past two decades that terrorism, which India faced, could take place elsewhere. In an oblique reference to Pakistan, the Prime Minister said India faced a proxy war from a government in its neighbourhood, which regarded terrorism as an instrument of state policy. He said, "As this region has become the hub of terrorism, much of the response to the destruction that the terrorists committed on September 11 could take place in our vicinity.'' He also emphasised the need for a proper legal framework to deal with the menace. Pointing to the inordinately lengthy legal processes, he said only the first phase of the trial in the 1993-Mumbai serial blasts case was now over.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said, on September 14, in Srinagar, that the whole world should unite and strike on terrorists’ training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

In his keynote address at the two-day State Police Conference, he opined that political expediency and hypocrisy by the world leadership was sustaining terrorism in the contemporary world. He also added, it was "high time for the greatest victims of the international terrorism — India and America— to firmly and decisively strike on the terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan, so that they would learn how to behave with the peace-loving neighbours."

According to Pakistani news reports, the government is unlikely to permit US ground forces to land on its soil for any possible attack on Afghanistan. But, Pakistan would be willing to conditionally discuss other options with the US if the latter finally decides to launch military action against Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the September 11-terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Such proposals were reportedly discussed at a special-Corps Commanders conference held on September 14 at the General Headquarters, in Rawalpindi. Chaired by President Pervez Musharraf, the conference was attended by all the Corps Commanders and principal staff officers of the Pakistan Army. According to an Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) announcement following the conference, "The participants reviewed the overall security situation in the region with special emphasis on the recent scenario emerging after the terrorist attacks on US cities resulting in colossal loss of innocent human lives and property."

According to media reports, peace talks between the Nepalese government and Maoist insurgents have failed, as both sides could not evince flexibility. At the second round of peace that ended in a deadlock on September 15, 2001, the Maoists placed their 31-point charter of demands including abrogation of monarchy and the establishment of a Republic, an interim government and setting up of a new Constituent Assembly to frame a new Constitution. However, the government representatives rejected the demands. Government chief negotiator and Cabinet Minister Chiranjibi Wagle said at a press conference in Kathmandu on September 15 that constitutional monarchy was non-negotiable. Reports quoting Wagle also added that both the parties have agreed to meet again. The dates for the next round of talks have not been decided.

External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh, on September 17, dismissed as ‘sheer absurdity’ conditions reportedly made by Pakistan to the United States to track down international Islamic terrorist Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect behind the September 11-terrorist attacks in the United States. Speaking to a private TV channel he said, "There cannot be any bargain on terrorism. Any such bargaining will tantamount to accepting terrorism and granting it legitimacy''.

Asked if India would participate in a multi-national military force to combat the menace, the Minister said, "Let there be a concert of democracies, a coalition of nations against terrorism.

Muttahida Qami Movement – Altaf (MQM-A) Chief Altaf Hussain, in a statement from his London headquarters, said people of Pakistan in general, and Sindh in particular, must not "get distracted on the propaganda by the so-called religious and Jihadi organisations." Commenting on the current national and regional situation, he observed that the government and the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), the external intelligence agency of Pakistan, extended their fullest cooperation to the US. He also added that had the Army and the ISI not interfered in Afghanistan and provided training and support to the Taliban, they would not have faced the current situation. Criticising the role of terrorist outfits, he said these so-called religious outfits send the common people for Jehad but their leaders enjoy a lavish lifestyle. He opined that the populace should understand that preaching for Jehad was meant to serve the interests of the Jehadi leaders.

Pakistani news reports held that President Pervez Musharraf said, on September 18, that the decision to extend ‘unstinting support’ to the United States had been taken under what he termed as tremendous pressure. Gen. Musharraf reportedly said this at a briefing to former foreign ministers, retired generals and members of think tanks. Dawn, a Pakistani daily, reported that Gen. Mirza Aslam Baig, quoting the President, revealed that the US authorities had asked the latter to reply in definitive terms whether Pakistan was a ‘friend or foe’ of the United States. Musharraf reportedly apprised the gathering that US authorities had conveyed in categorical terms that Pakistan’s decision would determine its future relationship with Washington. The President also indicated that the US Administration had fixed a deadline for meeting its demands on Pakistan––extending support, including the use of airspace, logistics and intelligence information. Dawn also cited the President as having indicated that a refusal could "have serious consequences for the country, and there were fears of direct military action by a coalition of United States, India and Israel against Afghanistan and Pakistan."

External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh, speaking at a press conference in New Delhi on September 20, said that Pakistan was still promoting cross-border terrorism and terrorist outfits continue to flourish there despite the country’s proclaimed support to the fight against global terrorism. Commenting on possible US military strikes against the Taliban regime, he said indicated that a global effort against terrorism cannot be unidimensional and military action was only one of a the options and not the final determinant in the fight against terrorism. He also said that in order to eliminate terrorism, the international community has to fight it on several fronts, which would require ‘a lot of stamina’, and military action was only for a select purpose. The Minister said that intelligence inputs have indicated that the Taliban high command has recalled its terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir in order to fight in Afghanistan in case of a US military strike. According to him, "Mohammad Omar has issued an appeal that all terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir should quickly move towards Afghanistan and come to Afghanistan to stand up against what is apprehended".

Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, in an interview to a national daily, said that it was for the United States to decide whether terrorism is a global phenomenon or whether it was restricted to just one individual. He said Afghanistan is a symptom and the United States would have to look beyond it, at the training camps, at the arms and money flowing into the hands of terrorists if it wants to get rid of terrorism ‘root and branch’. Commenting on military cooperation with the United States, he said it was not something new for India and the first Premier Jawaharlal Nehru had sought and obtained it in the wake of the Sino-Indian border war in the early 'sixties. On the Pakistani President’s tirade against India in his televised address to the nation on September 19, the Prime Minister said these allegations were along expected lines. He said that for General Musharraf, the main issue is about India-Pakistan relations and not about terrorism. The Premier added that Musharraf's remarks constituted a "serious set back to the India- Pakistan dialogue process". He also ruled out any visit by him or by the External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh to Pakistan in the foreseeable future.

He said, "India's fight against terrorism did not start on September 11. For years India has fought it alone. If the rest of the world is with us, we are glad. When the world was not with us we fought it alone."

A Pakistani daily, The News reported, on September 22, that Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, is reportedly operating dozens of terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. The report citing official sources indicated that most of these camps are on the outskirts of cities in Afghanistan where terrorists from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Arab and other countries are trained. The report also added that a suspected site is the Abu Khahab Camp, north of the eastern city of Jalalabad, where bin Laden is reportedly conducting chemical and biological weapons experiments. It said US intelligence and security officials were analysing many satellite photographs to update a list of approximately 100 terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. The report also indicated that many of these camps could possibly have been vacated by now fearing possible US attacks. The report observed that the capital Kabul, in eastern Afghanistan, reportedly has some camps on the outskirts run by Arab terrorists. Eastern Jalalabad, bordering Pakistan, allegedly has the highest number of Arab terrorists. Camps are also believed to exist in Jozjan, Nangahar, Paktia, Kandahar and Logar provinces.

Media reports quoting official sources said on September 22 that the Ministry of Home Affairs had intercepted Pakistan’s message to Afghan terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), who are reportedly planning to move to Afghanistan, to stay on. A government official was quoted as saying that Afghan terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir were planning to return to Afghanistan, a trend that has been worrying Pakistan. The official reportedly said that Pakistan’s initial reluctance to join the US-led proposed attack against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan stemmed from its apprehension that it would alienate the Afghan terrorists operating in J&K. The Taliban chief Mullah Mohamamd Omar had reportedly directed all Afghan terrorists in J&K to move to Afghanistan to fight against the US forces.

Central Secretary General of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Syed Munawwar Hasan on September 22, appealed to the armed forces to make President General Pervez Musharraf withdraw his ‘unilateral and pro-US’. Addressing a rally, organised by JI women wing in Karachi to protest against the government's decision of extending co-operation to the US against Afghanistan and to express solidarity with the Afghans, he said that the nation was not ready to recognise General Musharraf as the country's army chief and the armed forces should take notice of his decision of supporting the US. The JI leader said that Parvez Musharraf, who had already assumed his office by force, was going to make a deal on national interests but the government must know that the nation would never fight against a Muslim country. "The nation does not recognise Musharraf as the military chief and will never allow him to buy it slavery of America against a few dollars," he added.

He said, "Our struggle is against terrorism, wherever it be…the world is for a war against terrorism and not against Afghanistan and its people." The President reminded the people that it was the time to take decisions with wisdom instead of sentimentalism and said that it was not the time to talk about personal, political or party interests. Instead, it was time to think about Pakistan's solidarity and integrity. Pakistan, he said "is our identity and we must strive to uphold this identity and recognition". "A right decision today will make Pakistan strong and prosperous," he added.

A news report on September 23 said British security services have launched an operation to locate Ahmed Omar Sheikh, a British national who was part of the Harkat-ul-Ansar (HuA). Ahmed Omar Sheikh was part of a group operating under the name of Al-Faran and had abducted four foreigners in New Delhi, in November 1994. He was arrested after police located his hideout. Later, in December 1999, he was released in Kandahar, Afghanistan as part of the terrorist-hostage swap that followed the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC-814. British security agencies suspect that Sheikh has links with Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in the September 11, 200- terrorist attacks on US targets. One of the hijackers of the IC-814 flight is also suspected to have participated in the September 11-attacks.

Media reports from Sri Lanka quoting other news reports said, on September 24, 2001, American authorities and other western intelligence agencies were investigating if the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam rebels (LTTE) had trained terrorists of the Al Qaeda. Suspected Islamic suicide terrorists of the Al Qaeda had attacked the Pentagon and the World Trade Center in the United States, on September 11. The LTTE's relationship with Al-Qaeda is under scrutiny to understand the latter's mastery of suicide attacks "even though most groups learn by trial and error", the reports said. Further, it is believed that LTTE procurement chief Kumaran Padmanabhan visited Afghanistan in May 2001.

The Central Working Committee of the TULF met on 23rd September to consider the proposed 17th Amendment to the constitution. "The proposed 17th amendment contains provisions for the establishment of the constitutional council and powers which inter-alia includes the appointment of several commissions such as the Elections Commission, the Delimitation Commission, the Human Rights Commission, the Public Service Commission, the National Police Commission, the Finance Commission and approval of recommendations made regarding the appointment of important functionaries such as judges of the Supreme Court and Appeal Court Judges, the Attorney General, the Inspector General of Police etc. "The TULF is of the view that the proposals presented do not ensure the effective representation of the minority nationalities on the constitutional council, so as to guarantee an adequate and genuine participation on behalf of the minority nationalities in the deliberations and decision making process of the council. "The constitutional council is vested with extensive authority and its determinations will have a substantial influence on the exercise by the various commissions and institutions of their wide ranging powers and duties. "The powers and duties exercised by these different commissions and institutions are inextricably linked to the recognition and enforcement of the democratic and fundamental rights of the different peoples in the country. The lack of effective representation on behalf of the minority nationalities on the constitutional council will inevitably result in the diminution of, and have an adverse impact on, the exercise of their democratic and fundamental rights by the peoples who constitute the minority nationalities. "The TULF desires to point out that this is a seriously flawed aspect of the current proposals to establish a constitutional council. Similar deficiencies exist in the provisions relating to the appointment of the different commissions. "The TULF has actively participated in the current constitutional reform process from August 1994. The TULF has always insisted that constitutional reform should predominately encompasses arrangements for the effective sharing of the powers of governance, by granting very substantial political autonomy to a region in the north-east. "The Tamil political agenda in the past fifty years has democratically and peacefully agitated for such constitutional reform. The TULF has disfavoured piecemeal constitutional reform, as this would further retard the effective sharing of the powers of governance between the Centre and a region in the north-east. "The war in which the country has been embroiled for over the past 20 years solely attributable to the failure to grant such substantial and genuine political autonomy to a region in the north-east. "Any attempt since 1994 to find a just solution to the Tamil national question has remained elusive, primarily because of the failure of the two main political parties, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and the United National Party to adopt a bi-partisan approach towards such resolution. "The TULF has for long strongly urged the cessation of hostilities and the commencement of negotiations with the L.T.T.E. The Norwegian initiative with the acceptance of the Government and the LTTE provided the first real opportunity for this to commence. The TULF states that by misconceived actions, taken perhaps, to achieve short term political gains, opportunities for the commencement of meaningful negotiations between the Government and the LTTE were not grasped between November, 2000 and April 2001. The impasse that was thereby created has been further compounded by provisions in the memorandum of understanding between the Peoples' Alliance and the Janata Vimukthi Peramuna, which further inhibits the commencement of a credible and meaningful dialogue between the Government and the LTTE. "Piecemeal constitutional reform in this situation can only further retard the just resolution of the Tamil national question. Such piecemeal constitutional reform in the current situation is akin to attempts to refurbish a house, which is engulfed by the flames of a major fire. The primary need is to extinguish the flames and put out the fire. The people most affected by the destructive fire, which rages chiefly in the north-east, are the Tamil people. "The TULF cannot with justification partake in piecemeal constitutional reform, when no serious effort is in progress to resolve the Tamil national question. This is not to belittle the conceptual validity of the proposals for the establishment of the constitutional council etc., if framed so as to safeguard the concerns of minority nationalities also, but to emphasise the urgent and vital importance of constitutional reform that will evolve a just and national question. Towards this end, the TULF strongly urges the taking of all necessary steps without further delay, for the active revival of the Norwegian initiative and the commencement of meaningful negotiations with the LTTE. This is only means to end the bloody war and to bring peace with justice to the whole country. This has to be the first step towards the eradication of all the other ills the country faces. "This is the yearning of the vast majority of all peoples in the country."

A two-judge bench of the Kolkata High Court, on September 24, directed Purulia arms drop convict and British national Peter Bleach to file an affidavit by October 5, 2001 to state that his detention in jail was a act of ‘ blatant racial discrimination.’ Bleach is serving life term in a Kolkata jail. He submitted to the court that while the five Russian pilots, released in July 2000, and he were convicted and then sentenced to life on identical charges, ''The Russians are now free men and I am in jail because I am a British national. It is racial discrimination''. The court observed that it was still in the dark whether the five Russian pilots were released after being granted mercy or pardon or remittance. The court observed that the matter would become clear after the Union Law Ministry files its affidavit by October 5. Bleach and five other pilots were arrested after a plane dropped a huge cache of arms in Purulia district, West Bengal, on December 17, 1995. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigated into the case and filed charge sheets against Bleach and five Russians. The Russians were, however, released from jail on July 22, 2000 through a Presidential Order.

According to media reports, the Union government is considering making the deployment of sky marshals, drawn from the National Security Guards, mandatory on domestic airlines. The Civil Aviation Ministry has reportedly proposed that two or three sky marshals should be deployed on-board select flights from October 2001. Only Indian Airlines currently flies sky marshals on sensitive routes to J&K and the Northeast. The Government has already decided to deploy ``Quick Reaction Teams'' of trained commandos of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at all sensitive airports in the country. The decision to deploy commando teams came in the wake of the July 24-LTTE attack on the Colombo international airport.

Media reports quoting official sources said Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, in a telephonic conversation with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, on September 24, said it was time for the international community to address the post-Taliban structure in Afghanistan. He added that the aim of the US-led campaign should be to establish a representative government in Afghanistan and the international community should pay attention to the ‘humanitarian and reconstruction’ needs of Afghanistan’ after the impending conflict was over. The assertion of the Indian Prime Minister indicates India’s hope that US war-plans will eventually lead to the ouster of the Taliban regime. According to official sources, Blair phoned Vajpayee to welcome India’s response to support to the US’ war plans against Afghanistan. The British Prime Minister reportedly told his Indian counterpart that Britain stood for an effective international strategy to confront terrorism and fully supported India’s initiative for a UN Convention on the suppression of terrorism. He added that the European Union (EU) had endorsed India’s draft Convention and once this came into force, Britain would be keen to discuss with India, how it could effectively be enforced.

The LTTE condemned the killing of Shankar, a self-styled Colonel, in a claymore mine explosion in the Wanni. Following is the full text of the press release: "The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in an official statement issued from its headquarters in Vanni Wednesday, strongly condemned the killing of one of its senior leaders Colonel Shankar. "A deep penetration commando unit of the Sri Lankan Army triggered a claymore mine on Col. Shankar's vehicle and he was killed on the spot. The incident occurred around 10.45 a.m. today near Oddusudan in the heart of Vanni, Northern Sri Lanka. "Col. Shankar has been an active participant in the Tamil people's freedom struggle for nearly two decades. He was a close confidante of the LTTE leader, Mr. Vellupillai Pirapaharan and accompanied him in the first historic meeting in the Vanni with Oslo's Special Envoy, Erik Solheim, in November 2000. "Provocatively, Col. Shankar's killing occurred on the anniversary of the death during hunger strike of Lt. Col Thileepan, a day of profound sadness amongst the Tamil people. The LTTE leadership shares the Tamil people's outrage and treats the killing of a senior leader with utmost gravity. "Whilst maintaining to the international community that it is committed to a negotiated settlement, President Chandrika Kumaratunga's regime has repeatedly sought to sabotage the Norwegian peace initiative and continued its military operations. As a result of repeated Sri Lankan acts of aggression, formal and informal efforts to de-escalate the conflict have proved futile. The attack on Col Shankar and the date chosen for it highlights the Sri Lankan government's ongoing determination to seek the military option in solving the Tamil national question. Prospects for peace talks through Norwegian facilitation, stalled earlier through Colombo's efforts to sideline Mr. Solheim, have been further set back by the killing of this senior LTTE leader."

The ‘Supreme commander’ of Al-Badr Mujahideen, Bakht Zameen Khan said in Mansehra on September 28 that the ongoing conflict between US and the Taliban over Osama bin Laden has affected terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir. He claimed that India was spreading ‘propaganda’ against the terrorist outfits in order to get them declared as terrorist outfits by the US administration. Consequently, he also claimed that the US has not declared one outfit as terrorist but has also had its assets and bank accounts frozen in Pakistan. He said that if Pakistan was supporting such moves to declare Jehadis as terrorists "then it will be an open war against us and we will never tolerate such tactics." Khan warned that if the US attacked Afghanistan, "we would be left with no other option but to take part in the holy war against the US."

The Union Home Ministry has asked the State government in Jammu and Kashmir to ban three terrorist organisations, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and the Hizb-ul- Mujahideen (HM). Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Union Home Secretary Kamal Pandey said, on September 28, the Union government was not imposing a ban on the three outfits for two reasons. First, the militant groups had declared an ``open war'' against India and the security forces were tackling them, and secondly, they were operating in Jammu and Kashmir. Explaining the stand of asking the US to ban these outfits, Pandey said, "A ban by America will choke supply of outside funds.''

Three Pakistan-based terrorist outfits in separate statements on September 28 denied Indian reports that they had linkages with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. They also refuted reports that terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) had been recalled by the Taliban militia to reinforce the latter's ranks preparing for an impending US attack on Afghanistan. According to Salim Hashmi, a spokesperson of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) "The reports are part of Indian propaganda aimed at misleading the world community regarding our indigenous struggle for freedom." Hashmi while speaking to Dawn, a Pakistani daily also rejected reports that the Afghans were passing on their weaponry to HM cadres. Hashmi also rejected reports that the Hizb had any links with the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India. According to him, "The Hizbul Mujahideen strongly negates reports that it has or ever had any connection with the Student Islamic Movement of India (Simi). Such allegations, we believe, are made under a conspiracy to use them as a pretext to kill innocent Indian Muslims."

Reacting sharply to the proscription of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), senior All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leader and Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) ideologue Syed Ali Shah Geelani said, in Srinagar, on September 29, that the ban amounted to ‘execrating’ Islam. While terming the ban as "communal, criminal and even against the Constitution of India" he added that "communal" parties like the Bajrang Dal and the Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (RSS) should also have been banned as they were operating "freely and fearlessly on communal agenda". According to him, "There should be no ambiguity that banning SIMI is directly smudging Islam. Islam is not a physical entity. It is a way of life being represented by mosques, socio-religious organisations and Islamic schools. If these are attacked, Islam is directly attacked." Disclosing that he has a close association with SIMI, Geelani said he had attended several congregations of the organisation in the recent past.

The United Committee Manipur (UCM) demanded the State government to act quickly and ensure the lifting of the blockade imposed by Naga Youth Front (NYF) on National Highway-39. The UCM, at a press conference in Imphal, on September 28, warned of a mass movement if the government failed to act within 48 hours. The UCM is a coalition of six Manipur organisations opposed to the extension of territorial limits of the cease-fire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to Manipur. The NYF, on the other hand, supports the extension. The Union government initially extended the cease-fire to all Naga inhabited areas in the Northeast, but subsequently withdrew it following widespread protests.

He also indicated that terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir were the ‘struggle’ for the solidarity and integrity of Pakistan. Commenting on the current crisis following the September 11-terrorist attacks in the USA, he said, "[America] should and would not commit the mistake of challenging the Kashmiris."

Pakistani media reports said HuM Chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman Khalil and key HuM leader Farooq Kashmiri are believed to have gone underground following the September 11-terrorist attacks in the US. As reported earlier, the outfit’s assets were frozen on September 24 by US President George W. Bush along with those of 26 other outfits and individuals in connection with the worldwide campaign against terrorism. A second Pakistan-based organization, the Al-Rashid Trust, was also on the US list. Pakistan's State Bank, as reported earlier, has frozen its assets but the trust is technically allowed to continue since it has not yet been declared a terrorist outfit. Commenting on the government’s orders, another HuM ‘commander’ Attique-ur-Rehman said, "Any Pakistani ruler who will go against us won't stay in power for long."

The chief of his own faction of Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam, Maulana Fazl- ur-Rehman said in Shikarpur, on September 29, that there could be a civil war in Pakistan if the government allowed US military forces to enter the country. He claimed that after attacking Afghanistan, the US would target China and Pakistan. He also said Jehad would be launched against the US, Russia and other ‘anti-Muslim’ countries if they attacked Afghanistan and Pakistan. He called upon Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf not to offer any support to the US for attacking the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. While claiming that Israeli intelligence agency Mossad was responsible for the September 11-terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, he added that it was ‘unfair’ to accuse Osama bin Laden for the same without seeking any "clear and solid evidence" against him. He also indicated that Pakistan is united against what he perceived was an anti-Taliban campaign by the US.

In a statement released from Muzaffarabad, on September 30, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) spokesperson Amiruddin Mughal rejected media reports on its leaders absconding and the forced closure of the HuM offices in Pakistan controlled Kashmir (PcK). Mughal said all offices of the outfit in PcK were intact and were conducting their operations accordingly. He also indicated that no body could shut down HuM offices as it was "fighting for legal and principled right of the Kasmiri people for self-determination." He also added, "If we close our offices it means we are renouncing upon our objective of Kashmir's freedom. It can be possible only if Indian Army shuts down its camps in the occupied Kashmir." While observing that the HuM was not involved in any terrorist activity, he also said the freezing of Harkat's accounts by the Government of Pakistan under "United State's pressure" would have no effect on the terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, PcK Prime Minister Sardar Sikandar Hayat Khan said, in Muzaffarabad, "Organisations participating in Freedom Movement going on inside Occupied Jammu and Kashmir are not terrorist outfits".
