According to a media report, the wife of Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist Omar Sheikh, prime suspect in the abduction cum murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl, has claimed that Omar was not involved in the case as he was in Lahore between January 23 to February 5. Sa'adia Omar Sheikh’s petition opposing his extradition to the US came up for preliminary hearing before the Sindh High Court (SHC) on March 1. She invoked the writ jurisdiction of SHC to forestall the expected extradition of her husband to the USA. Her counsel argued that extradition of Omar would be against the Extradition Act 1972 as well as constitutional provisions regarding fundamental rights of a citizen.

The constitutional petition filed by the wife of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Omar Sheikh, prime suspect in the Daniel Pearl case, seeking a restraining order against his extradition, was on March 5 disposed of by a division bench of the Sindh High Court. Sadia Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh had filed the petition for a writ of mandamus against the respondents, restraining them from surrendering Omar to US authorities or any other foreign authority and from sending him abroad without his consent. She had claimed that the London-born Omar was a Pakistani citizen who was not involved in either the abduction of US journalist Daniel Pearl or his reported killing, or in any other crime. As reported earlier, she had maintained that the extradition of Omar would be in violation of the provisions of the Extradition Act, 1972.

The Federal government has asked the Sindh, Punjab and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) governments to ban the publications of as many as 22 magazines considered to propaganda machines of different religious and terrorist groups operating in Pakistan. These magazines are published from Karachi, Lahore and Muzaffarabad, according to a news report in the Pakistani daily, Dawn. These publications are reportedly being managed by the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Al Badr Mujahideen, Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Al Rashid Trust (ART), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Sunni Jihad Council and Hizb-i-Jihad-i-Islami.

The Pakistani said, a report in the New York Times quoting Pakistani officials indicated that US law enforcement officials were seeking the extradition of several other suspects, besides Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Ahmed Omar Sheikh, who have been linked to the 1999-hijacking of an Indian air craft, IC-814. The hijack culminated in Kandahar, Afghanistan, with the release of five terrorists, including Omar Sheikh and JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar. Omar is the only Pakistani terrorist whose hand-over the United States has publicly sought since he was indicted. The requests to Pakistan for his extradition were made in late November 2001, after Omar was secretly indicted by an American grand jury for his role in the 1994-abduction of three Britons and an American in India.

According to a media report, Pakistan-based terrorist groups active in Jammu and Kashmir are reportedly consolidating for better focus in their drive to launch further terrorist operations. The report indicated that the Muttahida Jehad Council (MJC), a conglomerate of 13 Pakistan-based groups, has reportedly decided in principle to cut down the number of parties to between seven and nine for co-ordinating their activities in a more organised manner. The report also said unconfirmed reports indicated that two prominent proscribed terrorist outfits, the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), had been expelled from the MJC. The report added that the MJC has directed the leadership of JeM and LeT to "quietly join Kashmir-based groups to circumvent the clampdown on militant organisations based in Pakistan." It also mentioned that only Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Al-Barq, Tehrik-e-Jihad, al-Omar and Islamic Front will operate in Jammu and Kashmir in the ‘new set up’.

A self-claimed killer of US journalist Daniel Pearl was arrested in Lahore on March 14. Adnan alias Sunny, belonging to the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), appeared at a local Urdu daily's office and claimed having slain Daniel Pearl. Talking to the media, Adnan said he belonged to an educated family although they had disowned him. According to him, "I bought rat-killing pills but, later, thought to die for a cause. I planned to save a soldier like Omar Sheikh. I fabricated the murder story and reached the newspaper office." He said he narrated the story in the said office which published it later. He indicated that the whole story was fake. He claimed that he had joined the JeM in 2001 in Mansehra and got 15-day training. He said he believed Omar Sheikh was not involved in the Pearl killing and hoped his confession of owning the murder would bail Omar out.

Media reports from Pakistan said US Attorney General John Ashcroft was quoted on March 14 as announcing the indictment of British-born Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Omar Sheikh, the alleged mastermind behind the abduction of US journalist Daniel Pearl. Omar "is charged with the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl and the 1994 kidnapping of a US citizen in India," Aschcroft announced at a press conference. The grand jury indictment charges Omar "with hostage-taking and conspiracy to commit hostage-taking resulting in the death of Daniel Pearl," said Ashcroft. Ashcroft also unsealed an indictment filed in November 2001 charging Omar with the 1994 armed abduction of US tourist Bela Jay Nuss in India. If Omar is found guilty of the crimes committed against Pearl "he could receive the death penalty," Ashcroft said, while conviction in the case of the US tourist carries "the maximum penalty of life in prison."

The Federal government has reportedly directed the Provincial home secretaries to terminate the publications of all the banned terrorist and religious groups which continued to appear in the market despite freezing of their assets and accounts. Media reports indicated that investigations thus far have revealed that a number of publications and web sites were still being maintained by the these groups despite the government proscription. In certain cases, it has been noticed, according to official sources, that the proscribed groups have commenced publications under different names consequent to the governmental crackdown. Interior Ministry Additional Secretary Abdul Rashid Khan said the ministry had sent a directive to Provincial governments to ensure the ban on publications of these groups under the relevant clauses of the Anti-Terrorism Act. A list naming the publications was also sent to the Provinces, he said. The list of 23 publications sent by the ministry includes a quarterly magazine, a fortnightly magazine, 17 monthly magazines and four weekly magazines. Publications by the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) include the English monthly Voice of Islam; monthly Al-Ribat in Arabic; monthly Majallah Al-Daawa in Urdu; monthly Tayyibat, Urdu for women; monthly Zarb-i-Taiba, Urdu for youth and students; weekly Jihad Times, Urdu and Sindhi. Besides, it also has a web-based, Radio Al-Jihad in Urdu and a Arabic web site. Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), sources said, printed the monthly Sada-i-Mujahid and weekly Al-Hilal. Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), another proscribed terrorist group published the fortnightly Jaish-e-Mohammed in Urdu and English, and a monthly, Bint-i-Ayesha, Urdu for women. JeM also has an electronic newsletter at its web site. Al-Rashid Trust (ART), a charity organization whose accounts and assets were frozen under the United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution, published the daily Islam, Urdu and weekly Zarb-i-Momin, in Urdu/English. Separately, quoting a study carried out by a German Non-governmental Organisation (NGO), reports said Kashmir-specific publications have been making their regular appearance on the news stands in Pakistan.

According to media reports, hours before President Pervez Musharraf’s second speech to the nation this year, the Federal government launched a massive crackdown on March 22 night against various terrorist and sectarian groups across the country.

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Omar Sheikh and 10 others were charge sheeted by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi, on March 22, for their alleged involvement in the abduction-cum-murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl. The State counsel said whatever Omar had stated before the court would be held against him despite the fact that he did not say anything on oath. As reported earlier, on his first production before the ATC, Omar had admitted having masterminded the abduction of Pearl. Sindh Advocate General (AG) Raja Qureshi made this statement after attending the pre-trial proceedings.
