The coordinator of the council, Baburam Bhattarai, said, "As the common people have failed to receive justice from the current state mechanism and action has not been taken against the corrupt and criminals, we have decided to reactivate such a mechanism to provide justice to the people."

"Its not exactly the people's court, but it is a mechanism that provides justice to people," Bhattarai said. Similarly, Prachanda said, "The network of RPC should be reactivated and expanded from the center to municipalities and villages across the country to prepare for the people's movement."

The Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) chairman Prachanda on September 8 directed party cadres to be ready for another revolution, according to The Himalayan Times. Addressing a workshop of the Tharuwan Rajya Samiti in the Bhurigaun area of Bardiya district he said revolution was necessary as the government had still not laid the foundation for the Constituent Assembly (CA) polls. “The CA can’t be set up under pressure. Therefore, be ready for another revolution,” he said, adding, “The government has not laid the foundation for the CA polls. Therefore,I have directed my party to be ready for another revolution.” Prachanda said that within 10 days the Maoists would try and arrive at a fresh pact with the seven political parties. Failing this, the Maoists will start their revolution from September 18. The CA polls can be held only after the government concedes the 22-point charter of demands put forward by his party, said Prachanda, adding the CPN-Maoist is preparing to convene a round-table conference of all left forces on September 11. Ruling out the necessity of deploying the army during the polls, he also said if security arrangements were tightened that would suffice. He insisted the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) should be deployed during the polls.

The Union Minister of State for Commerce, Jairam Ramesh, stated in Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, that the activities of Salwa Judum should be reviewed in the wake of migration of tribals to Andhra Pradesh, according to The Hindu. He said, “Tribals in Chhattisgarh are caught between the Salwa Judum and Maoists and are paying the price… The Salwa Judum was formed as an outfit aimed at people’s participation. But their activities are something different for the past few months.” He also said that because of them, the Guthi Koya tribals of Chhattisgarh were fleeing their hamlets and taking shelter in the neighbouring Warangal and Khammam districts of Andhra Pradesh.

Times of India reported that the conspiracy to assassinate the former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Janardhan Reddy was hatched and monitored from Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu, by the Maoist party’s central committee members. The intelligence wing has gathered that top Maoist leaders take shelter in Chennai considering it to be relatively safe. Senior police officials involved in the anti-Maoist operations said they had information that even the central committee members of the CPI-Maoist would frequently visit Chennai. "Since a former chief minister was the target, the central committee leaders themselves must have planned and monitored the attack from Chennai. We suspect those who carried out the operation might have escaped to Chennai," a senior police officer said. One top Maoist leader who was arrested on the Andhra-Orissa border reportedly revealed that the Maoists conducted a recce in Visakhapatnam last year as part of their conspiracy to kill Janardhan Reddy and but could not execute the plan.

The spiralling number of suicide attacks in Afghanistan is often carried out by young Afghan men who pass through religious schools in Pakistan, a United Nations report said on September 9, AFP reported. Some attackers appeared driven by anger at the presence of international forces and the civilians being killed in their anti-Taliban operations, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) study said. Others were motivated by religious zeal or were young boys who had been abducted and forced into the task or somehow persuaded they would survive and earn rewards such as cash, a motorcycle or a cell phone, it noted. There were 77 suicide attacks in the first six months of 2007, about twice the number for the same period in 2006 and 26 times higher than from January to June 2005, the survey disclosed. This year to June, suicide bombings killed 193 people, including 121 civilians, even though three-quarters of the attacks were targeted at Afghan and international security forces, it stated. 62 Afghan security personnel and 10 international soldiers were also killed. Till August 2007, there had been 103 attacks, compared with 123 for the whole of 2006. The first such attack in Afghanistan was carried out by al Qaeda operatives on September 9, 2001, in which the then Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was killed. There were five between 2001 and 2005 - and they jumped in 2006 to become today an "integral part" of the Taliban's strategy but also used by other Islamist anti-government groups. Little was known about the attackers said the study, based on interviews with about two dozen men jailed in Kabul for failed suicide attacks, and analysis of data and media reports. "They appear to be young (sometimes children), poor, uneducated, easily influenced by recruiters and drawn heavily from madrassas across the border in Pakistan," the report said. The "majority of those who came from Pakistan are Afghan, but not all, either refugees or coming in and out of Afghanistan," UNAMA head Tom Koenigs told reporters ahead of the document's release. There are more than two million Afghan refugees in Pakistan. The report, however, cited a "senior" Taliban commander as saying that more than half were not Afghan citizens, with some coming from Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Arab countries. He also said 80 percent of suicide attackers passed through recruitment centres, training facilities or safe houses in Pakistan's Waziristan area. "The tribal areas of Pakistan remain an important source of human and material assistance for the insurgency generally but suicide attacks in particular," the report said.

On September 9, the caretaker government relaxed the ban on the conduct of indoor politics in the country, reports Daily Star. A declaration to this effect was made by the Chief Advisor Fakhruddin Ahmed during his address to the nation. He said, “The government will lift the restrictions on indoor politics tomorrow to create an environment conducive to talks with political parties.” The declaration, however, has put some restrictions on the political parties with regard to the ongoing reforms programme. According to a gazette notification issued by the Home Ministry, a political party may hold meetings of its forums to discuss only its organisational reforms and the Election Commission's (EC) proposal for electoral reforms. The meetings will have to be held at its central office, hotels, restaurants, auditoriums, and residences of its members located in the capital with an advance notice to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police. The meeting will be attended by a maximum of 50 leaders at a time. Prior permission from the Home Ministry is required if more than 50 persons attend the meetings. Violation of restrictions attracts a punishment of two years to five years imprisonment and fines. The Chief Adviser further said that the government will arrange for the general elections ahead of the previously set December 2008 deadline after completion of the electoral roll with voters' photos. He said, “Immediately after preparation of voters' list with photos, the government will extend all-out cooperation to the EC in holding the polls at the quickest.”

Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was on September 10 arrested and deported to Saudi Arabia four-and-a-half hours after he arrived in Islamabad from London to challenge the rule of President Pervez Musharraf, according to Daily Times. The PIA flight PK-786, carrying the former prime minister, his party workers and journalists, reportedly landed at 8:45am (PST) at Islamabad International Airport, but Nawaz Sharif refused to leave the aircraft for about 90 minutes. Surrounded by commandos and officials, he eventually stepped off the aircraft and was escorted to the Rawal Lounge, where he reportedly refused to hand over his passport to immigration officials. An unnamed official said Nawaz Sharif was shown arrest warrants for corruption and money laundering charges and a copy of his year 2000 exile agreement. "Government officials and some Saudi officials held talks with him for about two hours," a source said. AFP added that Nawaz Sharif later arrived in Jeddah, where the official SPA news agency reported: "Nawaz Sharif is a guest of Saudi Arabia, which welcomed his coming to live in the kingdom once again."

The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) on September 11 claimed that it had virtually wiped out the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) ability to smuggle arms into the country after sinking three gun-running vessels - Mayoshi, Seishin, and Koshi, as indicated in the LTTE Naval registry - and killing up to 45 of the outfit’s cadres during the past 24-hours. The SLN chief Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda said the LTTE was bringing three light aircraft, artillery and a bullet proof vehicle in the ships sunk some 600-kilomtres off the island's south-eastern coast in Matara district. "When we challenged these vessels, they didn't respond so we had to follow internationally accepted rules of engagement. They opened fire. We had no choice but to fire and destroy the vessels,” Reuters quoted him as saying. "This is the biggest success for the navy so far," Karannagoda said, adding the LTTE’s smuggling operations will be severely affected as they are left with just one ship, adds PTI. The navy has so far destroyed a total of nine LTTE ships, he informed. The SLN chief estimated the number of cadres killed at up to 45 and said the navy did not suffer any casualties or damage to their crafts despite the LTTE retaliating with mortar bombs.

Confirming the death penalty awarded to Pakistani Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Mohammed Ashfaq in the seven-year-old Red Fort attack case, the Delhi High Court said on September 13 that terrorists, who have no value for human lives, deserved the capital punishment, PTI reported. The court, however, acquitted six other persons, including the Srinagar-based father-and-son duo Nazir Ahmed Qasid and Farooq Ahmed Qasid, who were sentenced to life imprisonment, and Ashfaq’s Indian wife Rehamana Yosuf Farooqui. She was given a seven-year jail term. "Death sentence is the only appropriate punishment which Mohammed Ashfaq deserves and has been rightly sentenced to death by the trial court and we have no hesitation in affirming that sentence," a division bench of Justices R. S. Sodhi and P. K. Bhasin said. "In case death sentence is not awarded to these kinds of terrorists who have no value for human lives and they are not bothered even for their own lives while indulging in these kinds of terrorist activities, the conscience of entire community would be shocked," it observed, in its 210-page verdict, dismissing Ashfaq’s appeal against the conviction. Concurring with the trial court findings, the bench said that police have been able to prove the conspiracy hatched by Ashfaq, with the help of other terrorists, to attack a Red Fort-based Indian Army camp on the night December 22, 2000. Ashfaq and five other LeT militants, on the night of December 22, 2000, had sneaked into the Red Fort premises and opened indiscriminate firing killing three persons, including two Army personnel.

At least 20 people were killed in a bomb blast in a high-security military area in Tarbela Ghazi near Islamabad on September 13, according to The News. The bomb exploded in the mess of Karar Company of the Special Services Group. The communication and wireless system of security agencies was also reportedly affected by the explosion. Two unnamed intelligence officials told AP that it was a suicide attack, and that the bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the canteen where dozens of commandos were having dinner, according to Daily Times. "It was a suicide attack," another official said, adding the bomber could have been one of the civilian workers at the brigade headquarters of the Special Operation Task Force (SOTF), Dawn reported. The Tarbela facility, about 100km south of Islamabad, is the headquarters of the SOTF, a unit of the Pakistan Army’s elite Special Services Group, which had been set up with American aid to neutralise al Qaeda. Media reports stated that the Karar Company had participated in the Lal Masjid operation.

Seven people were killed on September 13 when armed assailants lobbed a hand-grenade and opened fire on a minibus near the Karachi University, according to Dawn. The Islami Jamiat Talaba (student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami) alleged that activists of the All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation (APMSO) had attacked its workers who were in the bus. The APMSO, however, denied the allegations. "The motorcycle riders stopped the minibus from the front and hurled a grenade and then opened fire with automatic weapons… Sub-machine guns were used in the attack… Apparently it is a terrorist attack because a regular passenger minibus is not meant for perpetrating target killings," Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town Police Officer Nauman Siddiqui told The News.

The Defense Secretary Gothabaya Rajapaksa on September 14 told a group of business leaders that the government was committed to curbing terrorism within a stipulated time period and it would undoubtedly open new doors of opportunity to the business community, reports The Hindu. He said, "Because for you to do your business, first there must be a country" and went on to assert that signing temporary peace pacts with a ruthless terrorist group cannot bring lasting peace or economic stability. "It only seems as an attractive alternative if you don’t comprehend and confront the reality. As the whole world has realised, the only way to bring about peace is to curb terrorism. Sri Lanka cannot be foolishly idealistic. Peace has become a marketable commodity in the world today and in Sri Lanka too, there is blatant marketing of this commodity called peace for pure economic gain."

Press Trust of India reports that Pakistan’s Election Commission has amended rules that bar Government servants from contesting Presidential polls, a move that has paved the way for President Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s re-election to the top post. Secretary to the Election Commission Kunwar Irshad said on September 16 that the poll panel has amended Presidential election rules, so that Article 63 of the Constitution that has a clause to bar Government servants from participating in elections unless they have been retired for at least two years, no longer applies to the President. Irshad said the rule of Article 63 (K) stating that "if he (the candidate) has been in the service of Pakistan or of any statutory body or any body which is owned or controlled by the Government or in which the Government has a controlling share or interest, unless a period of two years has elapsed since he ceased to be in such service" has been amended to exempt Musharraf who continued as Chief of Army. Irshad said the EC will announce the schedule of Presidential election within next two to three days.

Maoists are taking the help of a few Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in extending their networks beyond their stronghold in Bankura, Purulia, and West Midnapore districts. Daily News & Analysis (DNA) reports that the intelligence branch (IB) of police has come across specific instances where Maoist cadres have joined reputed NGOs, posing as social workers. "The Maoists have realised that the best way to reach out to the people is through NGOs and human rights groups. Since the NGOs are not under police scrutiny it is easy for the Maoist rebels to expand their support base without inviting trouble…… In some cases, wanted Maoist guerrillas join reputed NGOs as volunteers and then under the garb of social work do their networking. We have also come across instances when Maoists have funded individuals or groups to start an NGO," a senior IB official told DNA. Although the IB official refused to tell the names of the NGOs infiltrated by Maoists, he reportedly agreed that almost all organisations campaigning against the state government over the Singur and Nandigram issues have developed a nexus with the rebels.

The country can achieve permanent peace only through defeating terrorism 100 per cent militarily, Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said in Trincomalee on September 17, according to Daily News. "We cannot establish permanent peace in the country by winning only half or two thirds of the war against terrorism," he said, adding the President Mahinda Rajapakse cannot implement the desired political solution for the North and East conflict unless Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorism was defeated 100 per cent. He reiterated that the LTTE terrorism can be defeated by military means and the security forces (SFs) are committed to achieve that task without passing the burden of war to the next generation. He stressed that SFs have now been able to confine the LTTE terrorism and its leader Prabhakaran only to the Wanni with the liberation of the East, adding, "If we are aware that LTTE terrorism exists only in the Wanni there is no hesitation on our part about the next step."

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) reportedly said that the government should hold elections to the provincial council in the East as soon as possible, under the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, to consolidate the recent gains made by the military against the LTTE. In an interview to The Hindu, the JVP leader Somawansa Amarasinghe said that though his party was opposed to the 13th Amendment, made as a follow up to the 1987 India-Sri Lanka Accord, it believed that elections in the East would encourage democracy and promote development. "Our party has reservations about the India-Sri Lanka accord and the consequent 13th Amendment to the Constitution. However, since it is now part of the statute, we see no difficulty for the Rajapaksa government in holding elections to the local bodies as well as the provincial council in the east. Otherwise, the military advances in the east would not be useful," Somawansa argued.

The Communist Party of Nepal – Maoist (CPN-M) quit the government as the eight-party leaders failed to create a consensus on its demands on September 18, reports Nepal News. Senior Maoist ministers submitted their resignation letters to the Prime Minister (PM) Girija Prasad Koirala, soon after the meeting ended in a deadlock. The PM has rejected two key demands of the Maoists: the announcement of Republic before the elections and a proportional representation election system. Addressing a mass rally, the Maoist ‘second-in-command’, Baburam Bhattarai said, "Our efforts to declare republic from the parliament has failed. Now we will declare republic from the streets. Therefore, we have decided to come in the midst of the people," said Bhattarai. He also rejected the code of ethics and election schedule by the Election Commission and said "We will struggle for the purpose of having real election not this hypocritical drama."

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is fighting a defensive war, says its political wing leader S.P. Thamilchelvan. In an interview with Tamil Net on September 19 he said, "Without caring for International policies and passive requests, the Government of Sri Lanka is continuing its genocidal war against the Tamil people. The concerns raised by the International Community have failed to make any dent on the ethnic cleansing by Colombo government which has proved itself a terrorist-state. Some International governments, without understanding realities, give aid to the deceitful purposes of the Sinhala government, which will only escalate the island's ethnic conflict to hitherto unseen heights." He added, "The LTTE is maintaining patience and still restricting itself to a defensive war. By doing so, it wishes the International Community to realize the futility of achieving peace by dealing with such a government."

At least two people, including an Afghan refugee, were killed in the remote Sorandara Musakhel area of Mohmand Agency in FATA on September 22, political authorities said, Dawn reported. Hundreds of people attacked the houses of local residents Gul Khan and Jehanzaib in the Sorandara area of Banazai subdivision for sheltering proclaimed offender Rahim Shah, who is wanted for dacoity and kidnapping. The area’s residents attacked the locals because a Jirga (council) had decided that Shah would no longer be granted sanctuary. Upon learning that Gul Khan and Jehanzaib had violated the Jirga’s decision by sheltering Shah, a Lashkar (tribal army) raided their homes and in the resultant clashes, Karim, an Afghan refugee, was killed along with one of Rahim Shah’s nephews. According to political authorities, local elders have managed to negotiate a truce between the warring parties, but the Lashkar is still holding its position around the houses. Jehanzaib, meanwhile, has surrendered himself to the custody of the Lashkar and a Jirga will decide his fate.

Law enforcement agencies have forwarded intelligence reports to the senior government officials regarding suicide attacks expected to be carried out by women bombers across the country, Interior Ministry sources told Daily Times on September 23. “There are chances that that male and female former students of Jamia Hafsa, Jamia Fareedia and Lal Masjid that managed to escape from ‘Operation Silence’ could carry out suicide attacks across the country,” the intelligence agencies’ reports said, according to sources. The report also suspected involvement of students from these madrassas (seminaries) in the suicide bombing on July 17 in Islamabad. The police seniors across the country immediately issued instructions to keep a close eye on suspicious women wearing shuttlecock burqas and/or youngsters roaming near important installations, especially foreign ones, as well as important personalities, law enforcement personnel and important public and business places, sources said. Intelligence agencies said in the report that the Kernal Sher Khan Shaheed Stadium, at Khyber Road, in Peshawar, would be the likely target of such attacks, since there was a large number of rickshaws and public transport vehicles parked there most of the time.

Militants belonging to some unnamed banned outfits have started a new campaign of issuing life threats through letters to Christians, especially in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Punjab for the last three months, according to The News. Aftab Alexander Mughal, in his report on minorities' concerns in Pakistan, said Christians in Peshawar, Charsadda and Shantinagar had been receiving threatening letters for the last three months. The letters read, "We have already sent you letters some times back but you did not listen to our advice. We know that either you have torn or burnt the letters. Through this action you have committed blasphemy and you are liable to death. We will spare you only if you follow our demand otherwise you will be killed." He said people were scared and did not know what to do. "Police and other local authorities are not taking this issue seriously and they are living in fear. Christians, Hindus and Sikhs form a tiny minority in the NWFP and are living under constant pressure. Many laws also curtail their freedom as equal citizens. The blasphemy law is a classic example, which has been misused against us," he added.

Secretary General of the Secretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process (SCOPP), Rajiva Wijesinha, speaking in a right of reply at the 6th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva said that attempts to incorporate Tamils in the democratic process in Sri Lanka have been blocked by the intolerance of the LTTE, Colombo Page reported. He added that the government tried to be pluralistic, but the efforts of the LTTE had reduced the participation of Tamils in the government and in the army over recent years. "It was important to recognise that there was tremendous pressure on minorities by the Tigers not to join the police and the army. The world should realise that the attempts of the government to move towards pluralism were stymied by attacks by the Tigers on those Tamils who were trying to participate fully in the democratic process," he said.

Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States (US) Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry said on September 28 that Pakistan would not allow anyone to use Pakistani land for terrorism, reports Daily Times. Addressing a ceremony at Pakistan Embassy in Washington held in connection with the Defence Day of Pakistan, Aizaz Chaudhry said that Pakistan was committed to eliminate terrorism jointly with the international community. "This day is observed every year to commemorate the spirit and the valour displayed by our armed forces in defending our borders against the blatant aggression of our neighbor during 1965 war," he said. He said that the armed forces of Pakistan had not only defended our frontiers successfully, but had also participated in the world's largest counter terrorism operation. This resulted in clearing up most of the area, under the influence of anti state elements. Besides, the armed forces also participated in the nation building activities, particularly during natural calamities and emergencies," he added.

The Supreme Court on September 28 cleared the way for President Pervez Musharraf to contest the October 6 presidential election while remaining Army chief, by dismissing as "non-maintainable" all petitions challenging his eligibility, according to The Hindu. The 6-3 majority verdict of the nine-judge Bench did not, however, touch upon the substance of the petitions. Nor did the Bench make any observation on the recent changes to the election rules made by the Election Commissioner, favouring President Musharraf. The verdict said the petitions, which pleaded for the court’s intervention as an issue of public importance relating to fundamental rights was involved, could not be maintained on these grounds. Among the three dissenting judges was Rana Bhagwandas, who headed the Bench. The Opposition parties and the legal community denounced the verdict, and called into question the independence of the judiciary. Government spokesmen said justice and the rule of law had prevailed. Attorney-General Malik Qayyum denied that there was any government pressure on the Bench and reiterated that President Musharraf would step down as Army chief after his election.

A large number of LTTE cadres have begun surrendering to the Human Rights Commission in Jaffna as they are fast losing faith among the Tamil community, said military spokesperson Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, according to Daily News. "Forty-two Tiger cadres have already surrendered to the Human Rights Commission in Jaffna within the last two weeks," Nanayakkara disclosed, adding, there is a rapid decrease in the number of youth joining the LTTE. He also pointed that there was a significant change in the LTTE strategy as they launched claymore attacks targeting the security forces without any concern about civilian lives, saying, "The LTTE is trying to distance the public from the Security Forces through these attacks." He further informed that the troops foiled attempts by the LTTE to infiltrate FDLs (Forward Defence Lines) in Mannar, Vavuniya, Welioya, Kilali, Muhamalai and Nagar Kovil during the past two weeks. The Air Force too carried out successful air-raids effectively destroying LTTE installations in Pooneryn South, Puthukuduiruppu and Vishvamadu, he added, saying, "The LTTE itself had admitted to the damages caused to them in these air attacks." Colombo Page quoted the military spokesperson as saying "The confidence of the civilians in the forces keeps rising. This is witnessed by the voluntary enlistment of over 24000 youth to the forces."

President Mahinda Rajapakse asserted that terrorism in the country is nurtured by funds from overseas and urged the international community to help his government cut off the flow of funds to the terrorists, reports The Hindu. In an address to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council on September 29, he said there was no military solution to the conflict and his government remained committed to a negotiated and honourable settlement. “Our goal is to restore democracy and the rule of law to all the people of our country. Fifty-four per cent of Sri Lanka’s Tamil population now lives in areas other than the north and the east of the country, among the Sinhalese and other communities. There is no ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka as some in the media mistakenly highlight. Sri Lanka’s security forces are fighting a terrorist group, not a particular community”, Rajapakse told the gathering in Los Angeles.
