According to Dawn, Pakistan on May 5 claimed to have uncovered a terrorist plot to hijack a plane from Islamabad to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to reports on private television channels, the claim was made by Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali during an interview with a foreign news agency. One of the channels quoted an unnamed Interior Ministry official as saying that people behind the foiled attempt had been traced. Press Secretary to Jamali, Ashfaq Gondal, told Dawn that the Prime Minister had told a foreign news agency that a "small terror cell" was planning to hijack a plane to the UAE and "possibly blow it up". "Hijackers have no nationality," the Prime Minister is reported to have said when asked whether the hijackers belonged to Al Qaeda or they were Pakistanis.

By God, we seek them before the Americans and we will avenge the blood of our brothers in Wana and others," the masked man said.

The Ahmadzai Wazir tribal force that reached Azam Warsak, 15 kilometers from Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan, on May 17 to carry out search operations is reported to have failed to locate any foreign terrorist. Armed with rocket-launchers, missiles, hand grenades and automatic weapons, the force on May 18 combed the area but failed to find any foreigner, reported The News. The 4,000-strong tribal force is also reported to have issued a warning of "stern action" against any tribesmen sheltering foreign terrorists. The warning came amidst reports that the Pakistan Army is preparing to launch a military operation in South Waziristan unless suspected Al Qaeda operatives in the region take up a Government offer of amnesty.

Macedonia has apologised over its security forces’ killings of six Pakistanis two years ago, after they were falsely accused of involvement in alleged terrorist plots to attack the US Embassy, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said on May 21. The apology and a promise of justice for the victims’ families follow charges being filed over the killings in Macedonia against three former police commanders, two officers and a businessman. Six Pakistanis were shot dead in Rastankski Lozja by the Macedonian police in March 2002 to win favour of the US Government in the war against terror. The then Macedonian Government made a false claim that the dead Pakistanis were members of Al Qaeda allegedly planning terrorist attacks. A spokesperson of the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said that an official enquiry by the Macedonian Government had established that former Interior Minister Ljube Boskovski and other senior police officials were involved in the murder.

In an interview to the Lahore-based Daily Times, Yahya Mujahid, a spokesperson of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), has claimed that it has no international network and ‘ambitions’ against the West. He was responding to allegations in the Western media that LeT was part of the Al Qaeda network that planned terrorist attacks in the United States, Europe and Australia. "We handed Lashkar-e-Toiba over to the Kashmiris in December 2001. Now we have no contact with any jihadi organisation. We, the Jamaatud Dawa [the new name of LeT], are only preachers," he claimed. While denying that the LeT had any international network, he said, "Even when I was the Lashkar spokesperson, the organisation was limited to Pakistan. We did not have networks in Europe or America. It’s Indian propaganda. We can prove our claim in court."

Said Tayeb Jawad, Afghan Ambassador to the United States, reportedly said in Washington on May 25 that the search for Osama bin Laden should be centred in Karachi or Quetta as the chances of his being found in an isolated area were negligible. He was replying to questions after delivering his concluding address to a conference on Afghanistan organised by the Middle East Institute. Jawad claimed that Laden was not being "harboured" in the Afghanistan-Pakistan tribal belt. He opined that it was logical to look for Laden in the same areas from where leading Al Qaeda operatives had been earlier arrested.

A Pakistani woman with a doctorate in neurological science is reportedly among the seven "dangerous" Al Qaeda suspects identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as planners of new terrorist attacks on the United States. Like the other suspects, the 32-year old Aafia Siddiqui, once an award-winning Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) student, has the ability to "undertake planning, facilitation and attack against the United States whether it be within the United States itself or overseas," FBI director Robert Mueller told a news conference in Washington. She is the only woman among the seven named on May 26 and whose photographs were posted on the FBI website, according to AFP. Mueller claimed that she was an "operative and facilitator" of Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terror network. Aafia is believed to have left Boston in January 2003 and the FBI suspects she is in Pakistan.

According to Daily Times, the US-educated Pakistani woman who is among seven "dangerous" Al Qaeda suspects identified on May 26 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was already in the custody of US intelligence agencies for the last one year. Aafia Siddiqui, reportedly an award-winning Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) student, according to intelligence sources had come to Pakistan in January 2003 and stayed with her friend in Islamabad for a few days and later went to Karachi to see her mother. Immediately after landing at Karachi airport she was detained by intelligence personnel and later handed over to the FBI. Aafia’s mother is reported to have confirmed her daughter’s arrest, saying she was asked to maintain silence over the issue. She has denied that her daughter was linked to any Jehadi outfit.

Some terrorists from the Chinese province of Xinjiang are hiding in Lahore and Rawalpindi, Chinese Deputy Director of Public Security, Ma Mingyue, said in Urumqi on May 28. Talking to a group of visiting journalists from Pakistan, Mingyue claimed that members of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) have mixed up with the Chinese community in the two Pakistani cities, according to Daily Times. "The terrorist organisation itself is not based in Pakistan… But some of its members are present in these two cities," disclosed Mingyue. The ETIM is one of the Islamist extremist groups founded by Uighurs, the Turkic-speaking ethnic majority in Xinjiang, which is seeking an independent state called East Turkestan. It is also suspected of being an Al Qaeda affiliate and was designated as a terrorist organisation by the US Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage, on August 26, 2002.
