President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview, on September 2, that deployment of more US troops in Pakistan to hunt for Al Qaeda fugitives would be unwise and was unnecessary. According to him, "US troops? No, I don't think that would be wise at all. We are looking after any foreign elements in Pakistan. We have deployed a part of our army and the frontier force for this purpose and the United States knows what we are doing…we are fully involved in this act. We don't need assistance." While pointing out that the Al Qaeda had been significantly weakened, he added that Osama bin Laden might even be dead. On the possibility of a terrorist attack on a Western target on the anniversary of 9/11, he said, "One can't rule out the possibility. But again, one would not like to put the entire onus on the door of Al Qaeda again, because I don't think they are organized… But so much of whatever is happening in the Middle East has its own repercussions and therefore a possibility does exist."

According to a media report, the Janikhel tribe in Peshawar has refused to surrender six Al Qaeda suspects to the Federal government. The suspects reportedly took refuge with the clan after its leaders got them released from security force personnel on September 3. Tribal leaders are reported to have indicated that the suspects are ‘innocent students of a local seminary’ with no links to the Al Qaeda. Reports added that the government is negotiating a deal with the tribe and the Jamaat-Ulema-e-Islam (JuI - Fazlur Rahman faction) is facilitating a dialogue between the two sides.

According to media reports, Pakistani security forces (SFs), on September 4, raided Janikhel village in the tribal region bordering Afghanistan where six Al Qaeda suspects were reportedly hiding, but found no one. Official sources were quoted as saying that four persons had been taken into custody in the raid on Janikhel village and five more in the nearby Bannu town. Sources added that all the arrested persons were Pakistani nationals and not Arab suspects that the SFs had been searching for. Among those detained was Maulana Shamsul Haq, who was thought to have given refuge to the Al Qaeda suspects, and his nephew, said official sources.

A media report quoting an Arab journalist indicated that the Al Qaeda has established a strong network in Karachi where top aides of Osama bin Laden have been hiding since the collapse of the Taliban regime in the year 2001. Yosri Fouda, who works in the London bureau of Al Jazeera television network, has reportedly said he had met some front-ranking Al Qaeda operatives in Karachi, in September 2002. He told an American news agency that the Al Qaeda has many hideouts in the city. In an interview to United Press International, in London, he claimed the Al Qaeda had reportedly chosen him to deliver a message to the world on the first anniversary of 9/11 and had taken him to Karachi from London. Fouda is reported to have met the chief of Al Qaeda's ‘military committee’ and the coordinator for the 9/11 hijackings and attacks that followed.

Italian police working with US naval intelligence said, on September 12, they had arrested 15 Pakistanis, suspected to be members of the Al Qaeda terrorist network of Osama bin Laden. They were reportedly taken into custody in August 2002 after arriving in the southern Sicilian port town of Gela on a merchant cargo ship from Morocco. They have been charged with conspiracy to commit terrorist acts. "We are certain that these people are part of a terrorist organization, and we are almost certain that that organization is Al Qaeda," said Santi Giuffre, chief of police for the Sicilian province of Caltanissetta. He also said police had seized telephone numbers, including several in Spain and France, which linked these men to the Al Qaeda. Notes and documents referring to the Al Qaeda were reportedly found on-board their Romanian-registered vessel, which set sail from Casablanca in mid-July and was scheduled to visit Tunisia, Malta and the Libyan capital of Tripoli. All men were carrying an open, return air ticket from Karachi to Casablanca, he added. However, Qasim Muttaqi, a Pakistan Embassy official in Rome said there was no evidence that the arrested persons were Pakistanis.

According to media reports, Ramzi Binalshibh, a prime suspect in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, has been detained in Pakistan and is currently in American custody in Germany. A US official said Binalshibh, who is a Yemeni, was arrested in Karachi around the first anniversary of 9/11 by Pakistani authorities with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Binalshibh, wanted in Germany for his alleged role in planning and carrying out the 9/11 attacks, is one of the front-ranking Al Qaeda terrorists to be taken into custody over the past year. In a recent interview to an Arab satellite television network, he had reportedly claimed he was an active planner in the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington. US officials have indicated that Binalshibh, also known as Ramzi bin al-Shaibah, was refused a visa to enter the US at least four times before 9/11. He reportedly wanted to join the 19 hijackers involved in the multiple terrorist attacks. He was also reportedly one of the roommates of Mohamed Atta––the suspected leader of the 9/11 hijackers––in Hamburg, Germany.

According to media reports, Pakistan, on September 16, handed over 9/11 suspect and key Al Qaeda terrorist Ramzi Binalshibh and four others to US custody and they have been flown out of the country. "Five people have been handed over to US custody, Ramzi [is] amongst them… I have no information on where they were taken," Major-General Rashid Qureshi, military regime spokesperson said. Binalshibh was reportedly arrested after an encounter in Karachi, on September 11. The Interior Ministry said a total of 12 persons were detained in at least two separate raids in Karachi last week. However, a separate media report quoted the Interior Minister as saying that Binalshibh and his accomplices would be tried in a court of law in Pakistan. Haider said in Kharadar that Binalshibh was in Pakistan.

An Al Qaeda terrorist arrested along with 9/11 suspect Ramzi Binalshibh has been identified as one of the killers of US journalist Daniel Pearl, an unnamed senior police official said in Karachi on September 17. The identification was reportedly made by Fazal Karim, a Pakistani, detained but not charged in the abduction-cum-murder of Pearl. According to the official, Karim was taken to an intelligence agency safe house where 10 suspects, including Binalshibh, were detained. The official refused to identify the alleged Pearl-killer by name but added that he was not among the five persons, including Binalshibh, who were handed over to US authorities on September 16 and flown out of Pakistan. According to a media report, authorities have not charged Karim nor officially confirmed that he was under detention. The report added that Karim’s statement might indicate to the first evidence that the Al Qaeda was directly involved in Pearl’s abduction-cum-murder.

Pakistan will continue extraditing foreign terror suspects, President Pervez Musharraf said on September 17, a day after 9/11 suspect and key Al Qaeda terrorist Ramzi Binalshibh was flown out of the country to be in US custody. "Whatever he has committed, he has committed abroad and thus we are nothing to do with him," Musharraf told reporters in Karachi, where Binalshibh was captured. The President added, "We have captured them [all suspected foreigners] in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad and other parts of the country and those originating abroad will have to be extradited." President Musharraf also said the government decided to hand over Binalshibh to US authorities because trials in Pakistan were a tedious process and were often delayed for various reasons. He also said delays in trials often raised doubts on whether the government was striking a deal with the accused. While claiming that security agencies were destroying terrorist networks he said, "It is evident that the law enforcement agencies have broken the terrorist network for there was no sectarian killing, no bomb blast or other such activity for the past few months." However, he added that there were local extremists who would kill people in churches and cause blasts. Further, the President admitted that there were foreign elements who had entered Pakistan.

Approximately 420 terrorists belonging to the Al Qaeda and the Taliban have been handed over to the US, said military regime spokesperson Major General Rashid Qureshi, on September 22, in Karachi. Of these, 380 were reportedly arrested from the tribal areas while the remaining were apprehended from various parts of the country. Rejecting allegations on the presence of Al Qaeda cells in Pakistan, Qureshi said it was a misinformation campaign on the part of US media. Recently, an American media team had visited Chitral and Gilgit to verify reports regarding the existence of Al Qaeda camps there but found none, he added. Qureshi claimed "There are hardly any al-Qaeda cells in Pakistan. Most of these elements entered the tribal belt following the dismantling of Tora Bora camps by the allied forces in Afghanistan. This happened due to faulty US army strategy to counter terrorism as they have left seven areas under the control of warlords who threaten the Karzai government's writ. They remain outside the purview of ISAF, he said and added the al-Qaeda may be regrouping in these regions."

According to a media report, a former Taliban diplomat claimed in Peshawar, on September 27, their ‘supreme leader’ Mullah Mohammad Omar and Al Qaeda chief and fugitive terrorist-mastermind Osama bin Laden were both alive and in good physical condition. Naseer Ahmed Roohi, who also heads the Tehreek Jamiat Shababul Muslimeen (Movement of Young Muslims), made the claim at a press conference held at an unidentified location in the Peshawar region. Roohi, according to the report, was a diplomat in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the erstwhile Taliban regime. He claimed he met Mullah Omar 15 days ago inside Afghanistan, but refused to disclose the exact location. He also claimed that 5,000 members and supporters of his movement were fighting against Afghan and US forces in the Paktia province of Afghanistan.
