Pakistan on August 1 rejected a report that the United States had accused its main intelligence agency - the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) - of helping to plan a bombing at India’s embassy in Kabul on July 7, 2008. Citing unnamed officials, The New York Times said intercepted communications had provided clear evidence that the ISI was involved in the suicide attack on the Indian mission, which killed around 41 persons. “It’s rubbish. We totally deny it,” Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Sadiq said. “This is a baseless allegation that the New York Times keeps on recycling using anonymous sources. These stories always die afterwards because there is no proof,” Sadiq said in Colombo in Sri Lanka. Pakistan’s military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the report was “malicious propaganda”. “It is meant to defame ISI… This is a national institution which is vital for security. The ISI’s role in fighting terrorism and extremism is exceptional,” Abbas told AFP. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported that US officials believed the embassy attack was conducted by forces loyal to Afghan militant Jalaluddin Haqqani, who is tied to al Qaeda and based in Pakistan’s tribal region. The New York Times said intercepts had provided “the clearest evidence to date that Pakistani intelligence officers are actively undermining American efforts to combat militants in the region.”

Al Qaeda confirmed in a web statement on August 3 the death of a senior commander known as an explosives expert, who is believed to have been killed in a US air strike in Pakistan last week, Dawn reported. The statement said Abu Khabab Al-Masri and three other commanders were killed. It did not give details on when or how they were killed, but Pakistani authorities have said they believe Al-Masri died in an American air strike on July 28 on a compound near the Afghan border. Al-Masri, an Egyptian militant whose real name is Midhat Mursi, had a $5 million bounty on his head from the United States. He is accused of training militants to use poisons and explosives, and is believed to have trained suicide bombers who killed 17 American sailors on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000. He is also believed to have helped run al Qaeda’s Darunta training camp in eastern Afghanistan, until the camp was abandoned amid the 2001 US invasion of the country.

US authorities have formally acknowledged arresting Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist, five years after her mysterious disappearance in Karachi, Dawn reported. Michael J. Garcia, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Mark J. Mershon, Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Raymond W. Kelly, Police Commissioner of the City of New York, announced the arrest of Aafia Siddiqui on charges related to her attempted murder and assault of United States officers and employees in Afghanistan. Siddiqui arrived in New York on August 4-evening and was to be presented before a US Magistrate Judge on August 5 in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. 36-year old Aafia disappeared with her three children while visiting her parents’ home in Karachi in March 2003, around the same time the FBI announced that it wanted to question her over her alleged links to al Qaeda. On August 1, the FBI reportedly informed her brother that she was alive and was in US custody in Afghanistan. Elaine Whitfield Sharp, the lawyer representing Aafia Siddiqui’s family told Dawn that the MIT-trained Aafia was being detained for political reasons. According to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court on July 17, 2008, police officers of the Ghazni province of Afghanistan observed Aafia Siddiqui outside the Ghazni governor’s compound. Afghan police officers questioned her and allegedly recovered some incriminating documents describing the creation of explosives, descriptions of various landmarks in the United States and substances that were sealed in bottles and glass jars.

Islamic extremists who trained at terrorist camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be plotting attacks in Germany, the head of the German federal crime office said, according to a newspaper interview released on August 10, The News reported. Joerg Ziercke, head of the Bundeskriminalamt — Germany’s FBI equivalent — told the daily Tagesspiegel that some 50 aspiring militants from Germany had been trained in camps run by al Qaeda, the Taliban or the Islamic Jihad Union. "In light of statements from al Qaeda and (the Islamic Jihad Union), we are certain that a decision has been made to conduct attacks in Germany," Ziercke was quoted as saying in the interview.

A senior al Qaeda operative and 17 other militants were killed and several others sustained injuries when low-flying helicopters bombed their positions in the Bajaur Agency of the FATA, Dawn reported. Sources said Abu Saeed al-Masri alias Mustafa Mohammad Ahmad was killed in the air strike. The Egyptian-born Abu Saeed was reported to be a senior member of the Majlis-i-Shura and financial chief of al Qaeda. They said that Cobra helicopters precisely targeted militants’ positions in Shahnari, Haji Lawang, Ragha Dagg and Takht areas where security forces had been using air power since August 8. The helicopters attacked militants’ hideouts in Shahnari, killing 13 Taliban militants. They also hit four vehicles in Takht, killing five militants and injuring three others. However, a spokesman for the Tehrik-i-Taliban denied that any foreign militant had been killed, AFP reported. "I strongly contradict reports that Abu Saeed al-Masri was killed in Bajaur. There are no foreigners," Omar said. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the security agencies had intelligence on presence of top al Qaeda operative Abu Mustafa Al Yazid but his death could not be confirmed as yet by "contacts on the ground", Daily Times reported.
