At least 18 militants, mostly Afghans, were killed in a US drone attack on October 11 at a militant compound in the Baland Khel area of Orakzai Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) near the border with Afghanistan, reports Daily Times. “US drones fired four missiles on a militant compound and initial reports say 11 militants have died,” local administration chief Khushal Khan said. He said most of the dead were Afghans. His deputy Rafiq Mohmand later put the death toll at 18. Militants had sealed off the flattened building and were recovering bodies, he said. The building belonged to Maulvi Shakirullah, a ‘commander’ in the forces of Hafiz Gul Bahadur group. Bahadur is an ally of the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network blamed by the Americans for a string of high-profile attacks in Afghanistan.

According to the United States (US) monitoring service SITE, a Belgian-Tunisian al Qaeda recruiter, Moez Garsalloui, who allegedly mentored an extremist who shot dead seven people in France on March 19, 2012, is believed to have been killed in Pakistan, reports Daily Times on October 18. SITE said that a post on an extremist web forum on October 15, 2012, announced the death of Garsalloui, who had claimed responsibility for one of the attacks carried out by Mohamed Merah in the southern French city of Toulouse in March. The post announcing Garsalloui’s death said he was killed in a “raid”, SITE said without elaborating, having previously escaped bombings in Miranshah, the main town in the North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). No details of the raid were given but the website announcement appeared a few days after two US drone strikes in NWA killed 23 people, according to Pakistani security sources. Garsalloui was a militant recruiter and propagandist formerly based in Belgium and Switzerland, SITE said, who remained focused on signing up militants to attack targets in Europe even after moving to the battlefields and training camps of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

United States (US) Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Marc Grossman on October 20 said that it was up to Pakistan to take any decision on military operation in North Waziristan Agency, reports Daily Times. “No, I am here to continue the conversation we have been having with Pakistani leaders over the past several months,” US Special Envoy said, adding, “On (the) particular question of North Waziristan (offensive) or any other question, that is the decision for the Government of Pakistan and solely for the Government of Pakistan”. The Envoy, however, declined to comment on the issue of US drone strikes, saying “it is not a topic of conversation for me”. “What I would like to say is that Pakistanis and Americans can stand up together and declare the end of al Qaeda in this region. That would be a great joint strategic effort and that I hope will come soon.” The US diplomat said the relationship between the two countries was “certainly back on track if you compare it with last year”. “What draws our countries together in this multi-faceted relationship is the fact that we are both victims of terrorism,” which is a scourge and “let us fight it together”.

An independent five-member Judicial Commission set up by the apex court to probe the Abbottabad raid after spending the past year and a half questioning military officers has found that the Government and security establishment did not know about the al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s presence in the country, reports The Express Tribune on October 23 (today). The Commission submitted its final report to the Government last week. No one else in the town knew that the world’s most wanted man had taken up residence in Abbottabad, a senior Pakistani official privy to the report told The Daily Telegraph. “It [the report] clears Pakistan’s Government and military establishment of involvement, a verdict that will prompt accusations of a cover-up and infuriate Western diplomats,” he said. “At the end of the day it really doesn’t tell us much more than we already knew,” the official said, adding, “It’s a disappointment for those who thought this episode might represent a turning point for Pakistan’s relationship with extremist groups.”

Prosecutor Brian Altman told the jury that three British men, Irfan Naseer (31), Irfan Khalid (27) and Ashik Ali (27), planned to detonate rucksacks packed with explosives in a major suicide assault which could have been more devastating than coordinated attacks that killed more than 50 people in London on July 7, 2005, a court heard on October 23, reports The Indian Express. The trio were among several arrested by Counter-Terrorism Police in the city of Birmingham in central England. The Police successfully disrupted a plan to commit an act or acts of terrorism on a scale potentially greater than the London bombings in July 2005 had it been allowed to run its course. One of them even described a plan to cause another 9/11, he added, referring to the 2001 attacks in the United States (US). Altman described the accused as jihadists and extremists who were influenced by a man affiliated with the militant group al Qaeda. Altman said two of them of travelled to Pakistan, where they learned how to make poison and bombs and use weapons as part of their training. He told the court that they had prepared martyrdom videos in anticipation of their suicide campaign. Altman told the jury they had begun experimenting with the construction of home-made bombs and timed detonation devices, adding they tried to recruit others to join their cause. The court also heard how all three men had posed as street collectors for a Muslim charity to raise funds fraudulently for their cause. The trial continues.

The Times of India on October 29 (today) reported that al Qaeda has formed an all-female 'Burkha Brigade' whose cadres are being trained to infiltrate and hit military bases and official buildings in the Western nations as they are less likely to attract suspicion than men. A film posted by fanatics online shows the all-female unit of al Qaeda using a fearsome array of weapons, including machine-guns, grenade rocket launchers and sniper rifles during their training session at an unknown place. The women are thought to have been recruited from the war-torn Russian republic of Chechnya by an al Qaeda-linked group, with bases in Pakistan and Afghanistan, British tabloid The Sun reported on October 28. The films carry the symbol of 'Islam Awazi' or 'Voice of Islam', an al Qaeda linked terror group based in Russia's Caucus region. The report raises concern as several women terrorists have been arrested in the West.
