A tribal Jirga (council) in South Waziristan Agency, on August 4, turned-in the landlord of the house where 10 security force (SF) personnel and two suspected Al Qaeda terrorists were killed in an encounter on June 25. Abdul Khaliq Sarkikhel Wazir was handed-over to the political administration by elders of the Wazir tribe after a Jirga of 100 chieftains decided to surrender him. 10 SF personnel and two suspected Al Qaeda terrorists, believed to be Chechens, were killed in an encounter following a raid on Wazir’s house, in Kazha Panga village, Azam Warsak area, to arrest the Chechens for illegally staying in the tribal belt of Pakistan. Wazir was in hiding since the incident and the Federal government was reportedly pressuring Wazir tribesmen to hand him over.

Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) Prime Minister Sardar Sikandar Hayat Khan has denied reports about the presence of Osama bin Laden or Al Qaeda terrorists in the region. In an interview to a Cairo-based Arabic daily, Al-Ahram, he said, "it is absolutely incorrect. The people of Jammu and Kashmir were not that foolish to shelter Al Qaeda elements and thereby invite the wrath of the super power and provide it a pretext for intervention." He also said, "I reaffirm that all that has been circulating in this regard is baseless and there are no Al Qaeda elements or their training camps on the soil of Jammu and Kashmir."

According to a report in Dawn, a Pakistani daily, the Al Qaeda terrorist network has reportedly issued a list of 120 Pakistanis and Afghan nationals accusing them of spying for the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with a warning that all of them would be killed. This was revealed in certain Al Qaeda pamphlets, which said Al Qaeda cadres who had been provided with their photographs would track down each ‘spy’, and successful Al Qaeda men would be rewarded with US$ 100,000 each.

The Al Qaeda and Taliban cadres along with several terrorist groups active in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and other extremist groups are planning to launch a major offensive on Afghanistan from their two alleged bases in Pakistan, said a report published in the British newspaper, Sunday Telegraph. These two alleged bases of the Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan are reportedly situated in the north from the tribal areas where the Pakistani and American forces are located, the report said, quoting Brig Rehmatullah, chief of the intelligence service of the Afghan Army. The Afghan Army officer has reportedly claimed that cadres of the Al Qaeda and Taliban, along with several Kashmiri and other religious extremist groups, have regrouped, and were awaiting orders to carry out a massive attack on Afghanistan. The report claimed that the two alleged bases are situated at Shah Saleem and Morkushi villages, about 50km west of Chitral.

Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider said, on August 17, there would be no let-up in stern ‘across-the-board action’ against those involved in terrorist activities. He was speaking at the 23rd Imam Ahmed Raza International Conference, in Karachi. In response to a question at the end of his address, Haider said, "58 prisoners of Pakistani origin are at present registered to be at the Guantanamo Base in Cuba". The were arrested in the wake of a crack-down by United States security forces in the post-9/11 operations targeting persons linked with the Al Qaeda terrorist network of Osama bin Laden. Haider also sought to allay the impression that the government was targeting students and graduates of seminaries (madrassas), alone. Reforms being introduced in the curriculum of seminaries are intended to enable the scholastics to "learn different subjects and vocations, including computer education," he added. He said there was no difference of opinion between the government and religious scholars in changing the curriculum and added that the concerned sections had been "taken into confidence". He regretted that minorities were targets of terrorist attacks in Taxila and Murree, in which Christians were attacked in recent times, and said "Islam does not permit violation of the rights of minorities or any particular section of society".

Commander of the coalition forces in Afghanistan, Lieutenant-General Dan McNeill, said, on August 18, at the Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, there might now be more Al Qaeda terrorists operating in Pakistan than in Afghanistan, the original theatre of war. McNeill conceded that his task was now more complicated as the coalition does not have the right to conduct combat missions in Pakistan. While pointing out that sympathy for the Al Qaeda remained strong in tribal areas in Pakistan, he added that fewer than 1,000 of its cadres were now in Afghanistan. "I think in Afghanistan they probably still exist, they could number in the hundreds. I think just outside Afghanistan's borders ... their numbers could be in the hundreds, maybe even a thousand," said McNeill.

Talking to a Pakistani daily, The News, in Karachi on August 18, Haider said, "Al-Qaeda is not in Pakistan but in Afghanistan where the US and its allied countries are fighting war against terrorism."

Media reports from Pakistan said, the Afghan government and the United States military, on August 22, rejected claims made by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf that a lack of control inside Afghanistan could allow the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists to regroup there. Afghan Defence Minister Mohammad Qasim Fahim described Musharraf's comments as "irresponsible" and added that Taliban and Al Qaeda cadres were more likely to re-emerge in Pakistan. "If Al-Qaeda and the Taliban are re-organising, it is on the south-eastern borders of Afghanistan (with Pakistan)," said Fahim in Kabul.

Pakistan, on August 26, ruled out allowing US troops to carry out operations against Al Qaeda or Taliban terrorists who might have escaped into Pakistani border areas from Afghanistan. Gen Tommy Franks, US Central Command Commander, is reported to have said in Kabul, on August 25, that he would continue with his mission against Al Qaeda and Taliban hideouts in Afghanistan and its surrounding countries "until it's all done". He was further quoted as having said that the "relationships that we have with the surrounding states around Afghanistan, would permit us to do our work that the (US) troops suggest needs to be done." Commenting on Gen. Franks’ statement, Pakistani Foreign Office spokesperson Aziz Ahmad Khan said the issue of permitting US troops to operate on Pakistani soil did not arise because "Pakistani forces are fully capable of operating against any eventuality or terrorism or aggression". Pakistan's cooperation with coalition forces in Afghanistan, he said, was confined to "sharing intelligence" as far as tracking down those terrorists was concerned.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said, on August 30, in London, that the Pakistani government has close links with terrorist groups such as the Al Qaeda. According to her, "I think General (Pervez) Musharraf's regime has strong links with terrorist groups like al-Qaeda… In one year al-Qaeda have regrouped in Pakistan with the backing of military hard-liners." Benazir added, "Musharraf has successfully convinced London and Washington that he is the best person to combat terrorism."
