The Punjab Home Department has decided to launch a crackdown on 17 banned outfits in the province and formed task forces at the district level to oversee the operations, Daily Times quoting BBC Urdu reported on July 4. Each task force will consist of CID, Special Branch and Anti-Terrorist Squad officials, while the District Police Officer would supervise the force and report to the Punjab Home Department. Task force officials have been directed to stay in touch with intelligence officials in the districts in order to exchange information regarding the banned outfits. The task forces will crackdown on secret hideouts of these outfits and apprehend their members. They will also trace out financing sources of the organisations.

The Punjab Government on July 5 banned 23 militant organisations operating under new names after having been outlawed and directed Police to keep a strict vigil on 1,690 office-bearers and workers of the outfits after including them in Schedule 4, reports Dawn. According to the Provincial Home Department, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) of Hafiz Saeed has not been restricted like others, but Saeed and his two associates have been barred from travelling abroad. Their accounts have been frozen and they will not be able to get arms licences. Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Jaish-i-Muhammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Tehrik-i-Jaferia (TIJ), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), Harkatul Mujahideen (HM), Hizbul Tehrir, Lashkar-i-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Sipah-i-Muhammad Pakistan (SMP) had been banned by the Musharraf Government in 2002, but most of them started their activities with new names. SSP was renamed as Millat-i-Islamia Pakistan, JeM as Alfurqan and Khuddamul Islam and TIJ as Islami Tehrik Pakistan and LeT as JuD. Hizbul Tehrir did not change its name.

The Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed has declared suicide attacks in Pakistan 'haram' (prohibited) on July 6, according to Daily Times. Speaking in an interview, he said suicide attacks had no moral grounds, and elements behind such attacks should be publicly executed. “Some foreign elements are trying to create religious discord in the country,” Saeed said. He said that Pakistan had been forced to become a frontline state in the war against terrorism. Hafiz Saeed blamed India for the Data Darbar attacks and challenged Indian authorities to prove that the JuD was involved in the Mumbai attacks. The JuD chief also said that Pakistan should hold talks with the Taliban. “If the US can negotiate with the Taliban, why can Pakistan not do the same,” he said.

The Pakistani authorities said no fresh order has been issued to ban militant groups working under new names or to impose curbs on foreign travel by individuals like the JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, though action will be taken only if evidence is found against them. Responding to local media reports that 23 militant groups operating under new names have been banned, Law Minister of Punjab province Rana Sanaullah, Lahore Police chief Muhammad Aslam Tareen and sources in Islamabad said no notification has been issued with regard to the outlawed organisations or individuals like Saeed. “The Punjab government has not issued any new notification banning any proscribed organisation that is working under a new name. They are already banned,” Sanaullah said. Authorities in Punjab were “planning to crack down on militants if they are related to any banned organisation,” he said.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is a growing threat to the US and the Western world, Times of India quoting a new investigative report said on July 9. The report by the US-based organisation, Investigative Project on Terrorism, quotes Gen David Petraeus, now commander of the Afghan campaign, telling the Senate a few months ago, "There's no question but that there are elements in Pakistan that have not yet been the focus of the Pakistani counter-insurgency efforts...obviously India has expressed its concern as well. The rise of LeT and the need to take action against it has been a 'source of dialogue' with Pakistani authorities." The report says Westerners who underwent training in LeT's camps include Australian David Hicks, shoe-bomber Richard Reid and Dhiren Barot who had masterminded a failed gas cylinder bombing in London. What makes it difficult to mount a concerted international action against the group is the fact that in Pakistan they enjoy an unprecedented popular and State support. The report details growing cooperation among LeT and al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, the Afghan Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).

Indian Foreign Minister S. M. Krishna interacting with Indian media in Islamabad on July 14 outlined terrorism as the "core issue" saying "the time had come" for Pakistan to act on "overwhelming evidence" presented to it over the role of Pakistan-based terror outfits in the 26/11 attacks, reported Times of India. He stressed that India had provided "overwhelming" and "irrefutable" evidence to Pakistan on the involvement in the 26/11 attacks. He also responded to a question on Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed saying Saeed had been "consistently making statements which provoke people of Pakistan against India. Such tirades against India will certainly not help smoothen relations." He is to meet his Pakistani counterpart on July 15 (today).

The interrogation of Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, who helped the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in plotting the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, points to official patronage of terror groups, National Security Adviser (NSA) Shivshankar Menon said on July 20, reports Times of India. Without naming Pakistan, Menon said the nexus had left no room for India to be optimistic as the link was growing "stronger". "It has been brought to us through Headley that there are clear links between militants and official establishments. It is that nexus with existing intelligence agencies that makes it much a harder phenomenon for us to deal with and suggest it won't be broken soon," Menon said, addressing a conference on terrorism in New Delhi. He said the information that Indian investigating agencies have and deal with suggest that the link "is getting stronger", adding, the interrogation of Headley proved "our worst fears have come true and the situation is as bad as we thought". Stating that "there is less possibility of being optimistic", the NSA said the traditional definition of terror groups in South Asia has become obsolete in the wake of these outfits merging to conduct operations. "The other aspect that is coming from it is how over times in the last few years these terror groups in South Asia have got fused, they are training together, using the same communication," Menon said. "The traditional distinction of these terror groups has become meaningless," he said, referring to Pakistan's "good" Taliban and "bad" Taliban theory.

A Delhi court on July 21 issued non-bailable warrants (NBW) against five Pakistanis in a case filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), charging them with facilitating terrorist attacks in India, but rejected its application for NBWs against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the first and second accused, reports The Hindu. While agreeing with the prosecution’s charges against the seven, Special Judge (NIA) S. P. Garg said no purpose would be served by issuing NBWs against Saeed and Lakhvi. For, a Mumbai trial court had issued NBWs against them and subsequently Interpol also issued Red Corner Notices. The NIA counsel had on July 20 said that Saeed and Lakhvi could be issued the “Special Notice” as the Security Council had imposed sanctions on them for their ties to the al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The five persons against whom NBWs have been issued are Karachi residents Sajid Mir alias Wasi and Abdur Rehman Hashim, Pakistani army officers Major Iqbal and Major Sameer Ali, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) resident Illyas Kashmiri. All the accused have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the South Asian Association For Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Convention (Suppression of Terrorism) Act for “facilitating terrorist acts and acts preparatory to terror attacks between 2005 and October 2009 in India including Delhi”.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is as deadly a terror group as Taliban and al-Qaeda and they were working in close coordination, said Richard Holbrooke, United States special envoy for Afghanistan-Pakistan, Times of India reports. Talking to journalists in New Delhi on July 22 Holbrooke said the US has been pushing Pakistan to take action on all these groups. "We understand, as Government, that it (LeT) is a threat and we talk about it all the time with Pakistani military (asking them) to deny their territory to this organisation," said Holbrooke. He said LeT was a part of terror conglomerate comprising Afghan Taliban, Pakistani Taliban and the Haqqani network. "Taliban has almost become a brand," he said. "Under intense pressure these groups seem to be growing closer to each other. Two or three years ago, they were more distinct than now," Holbrooke said. Holbrooke admitted that Pakistan's Taliban connection was a problem. "The links between the ISI [Inter Services Intelligence] and the Taliban are a problem. US has spoken to the Pakistan Government and the military on ISI's links with the Taliban," he said. Holbrooke also said that the “few steps” taken by Islamabad in this direction were “not enough,” adds The Hindu. Referring to ISI’s links with militant organisations, he asserted that tackling the LeT was “equal to any other priority in the region,” as its goal was to create “maximum problems” between India and Pakistan. “Their [LeT, al Qaeda and Taliban] long-term objective is to destroy the Western civilisation and to create crisis between New Delhi and Islamabad. Under intense pressure, these groups seem to be growing closer to each other. Two or three years ago, they were more distinct than now.”

Admiral Mike Mullen, the US joint chiefs of staff chairman said on July 24 that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) had become “a very dangerous organisation and a significant regional and global threat”, reports Daily Times. Talking to reporters at the US Embassy, Mullen stressed that there was a strong need to take stern action to stop LeT’s activities. He said LeT was expanding into Afghanistan and other countries beyond the region. Mullen also supported the statement issued by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the presence of Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan. “They are hiding in a very secure place and it is very difficult to trace them,” he said. He claimed that the tribal belt on Pakistan’s western border had become the “global headquarters” for al Qaeda. Mullen said that the Pakistani Government had not taken any action against the Haqqani network. “The Haqqani group is the most lethal network faced by the US-led international forces in Afghanistan,” he said, adding that he had repeatedly urged Pakistan to tackle the threat. Referring to the planned withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, Mullen said it would not be the end of the mission, rather “it will be the start of a process”. “The US military will stay there (Afghanistan) till complete revival of peace,” he added.

Rehman Malik said that Pakistan had lodged protest with the Afghanistan Government about the presence of key leaders of terrorists in Afghanistan’s Nuristan province allegedly involved in planning and carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan. “We have strongly protested with the Afghanistan Government and asked it to stop the supply of arms and ammunitions to Nuristani terrorists and seal the border,” said Rehman Malik while talking to reporters after offering condolences for the Mian Rashid Hussain, son of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain. To a question, Rehman Malik said Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) and other extremist outfits had already been banned by the Government and it would not take dictation from others for taking actions against the activists of these groups.

Spokesperson for the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) Attiq Chohan has said that his organisation was no more banned as the Lahore High Court had cleared it of the charges in a detailed verdict last year, The News reported on July 26. Producing copies of the verdict of the LHC to The News, Attiq Chohan said that a section of the media was constantly mentioning the Jamaat-ud-Dawa as a banned organisation. He reminded that the office-bearers of the organisation had moved the court against the ban and the judges later gave a decree in its favour. “We are no more banned organisation. We are neither a terrorist organisation nor do we support it as Islam does not allow terrorism,” said Attiq Chohan.

Admiral Mike Mullen said he was “appalled” at the leak of 92,000 secret military files on the Afghan mission, but that the information about Pakistan’s activities and other details were taken into account during a major strategy review on the war in 2009. “Certainly the information that I’ve seen so far in the documents, there’s nothing in there that wasn’t reviewed or considered in the strategic review on the war last year,” Mullen told reporters on his plane before landing in Iraq. He said the administration of US President Barack Obama was still “working through” all the documents, adding that most of the files appeared to be “field level information, raw intelligence”. The documents, made public by the website WikiLeaks, alleges Pakistan allowed its spies to meet directly with the Taliban and even plot to assassinate Afghan leaders. Asked if the files show Pakistan has duped Washington, Mullen said that was not the case and that the United States had made clear to Islamabad its concerns about possible links to militant groups. “I do not believe the Pakistani leaders have misled the United States,” he said. US relations with Pakistan have “dramatically” improved in the past year and Pakistan had launched offensives against extremists in the northwest, involving tens of thousands of troops, Mullen said. “I’ve seen some very positive steps,” he said. He, however, added that Washington remained concerned about Pakistani intelligence service’s alleged links with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Haqqani network. Mullen said “any links which exist with terrorist organisations, whether it’s Haqqani or LeT, are completely unacceptable”. “I am appalled at the release. I feel very strongly that we need to make sure to do all we can that leaks like this don’t occur,” he said.

Underlining the need to remain engaged with Pakistan, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his British counterpart, David Cameron, on July 29 called on Islamabad to be indiscriminate in cracking down on terror groups operating from its soil, reports Times of India. "We believe that Pakistan should be as serious in paying attention to terror on its western borders as on the eastern borders. I sincerely hope the world community would use its good offices to promote this," Singh said at a joint press conference with Cameron here. "It is not acceptable, as I have said, for there to be within Pakistan existence of terror groups that cause terrorism within Pakistan, outside Pakistan, in Afghanistan, India and elsewhere in the world," added Cameron. At the same time, Pakistan should be encouraged to take steps to see that terror was reduced. "We want to work with Pakistan to make it fight the LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] and Afghan or Pakistan Taliban. The Pakistan Government has taken steps and it needs to take further steps to reduce terrorism in Afghanistan, India and the streets of London. I think the right thing is to have discussion with Pakistan frankly, clearly and openly. Next week, I will have discussions with the President of Pakistan,'' he said. Making the same point, Manmohan Singh hoped that Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi would accept the invitation to visit India later this year so that "sooner or later" the dialogue was restored to the "proper sense of purpose."
