Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), the outlawed Sunni group, has reportedly started a recruitment drive and is forming new cells at the district and provincial levels. Intelligence agencies have reported to the Interior Ministry that “notorious terrorist” Matiur Rehman had been tasked with reorganising Lashkar cells, sources told Daily Times. Rehman is believed to have links with the al Qaeda and is one of the prime suspects in the London airline plot. He is also believed to have been involved in the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, the multiple assassination plots on President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, and the attack on the US Consulate in Karachi in March 2006. The report added that drug money “from the Taliban” was being used to fund the recruitment drive and re-organisation. Abdullah Faryad, the LeJ chief at Ditta Khel in the Punjab province, has been told to help Rehman reorganise the cells, said the intelligence report. Sheikh Ahmed Saleem, an Arab member of al Qaeda, has given money to Qari Idrees, an LeJ activist based in Sahiwal, to recruit militants for the new cells, the report stated. Abu Khabaib, an Arab explosives expert who had been spotted several times in the hills of Chitral, is helping Saleem find new recruits, the report noted. Abdul Wahab Rashad, wanted for killing over 10 Shias in Shah Najaf Mosque, Rawalpindi, is also helping reorganise the LeJ. Rashad was a close associate of Riaz Basra, a founding member of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi who was killed in 2002. Nasimul Haq and Salahuddin from Quetta, Muavia from Hangu, Shoaib Khan and Usman Ghani from Hyderabad, and Jamil Khan from Karachi are also involved in the recruitment and reorganisation.

The Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, has played no role in propping up the renegade Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, President Pervez Musharraf told US television on October 1. Gen. Musharraf, however, added that he is investigating possible support to the Taliban from retired ISI officials. Asked whether the ISI has been helping the Taliban, Musharraf, speaking on NBC television’s “Meet the Press” programme, said “No… Nobody in the ISI has.” However he added, “I have some reports that some dissidents, some people, retired people who were in the forefront in ISI during the period of ‘1979 to ‘1989, may be assisting with their links somewhere here and there.” “We are keeping a very tight watch, and we’ll get a hold of them if at all that happens,” he said.

Two former chiefs of the Inter-Services Intelligence have rejected as baseless a statement of President Pervez Musharraf about former officials of the agency abetting Taliban. Former ISI directors-general Asad Durrani and Hameed Gul, talking to Dawn, said there was no need to issue such a speculative statement. Durrani said he was at a loss to understand as to what was the need for issuing such a statement. He said some people in their individual capacity might have associated themselves with the Taliban, but it was improper to make such a statement without any concrete evidence. Gul said former officers of the ISI were not involved in helping Taliban. He claimed the Taliban surfaced in 1994, some five years after his tenure as ISI chief was over and about three years after his retirement from the army.

Pakistan and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) have agreed to enhance cooperation to defeat the Taliban and terrorism, according to Dawn. The agreement was reached during a meeting of NATO Commander in Afghanistan Gen David Richards with President Pervez Musharraf in Islamabad on October 10. An official told Dawn that Gen. Richards praised Pakistan’s role in the fight against terrorism but suggested that there should be an extended cooperation in this regard. The official said Richards had not come with proof of the Inter-Services Intelligence’s involvement in training or helping the Taliban.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai told The Associated Press on October 16 that Mullah Omar, the fugitive Taliban leader, is hiding in Quetta, capital of Balochistan province. Karzai also blamed Pakistan for a surge in Taliban violence in Afghanistan, and demanded that President Pervez Musharraf crack down on militant sanctuaries. “We know he is in Quetta,” Karzai said of the fugitive Omar. Karzai claimed the Taliban were also “hiding in Karachi and the tribal town of Miran Shah”. “I don’t think the Taliban have a headquarters, but they have sanctuaries, which are definitely in Pakistan,” Karzai said in the interview. However, the Pakistan on October 17 rejected Karzai’s allegations. “We know he (Omar) is in Afghanistan. The entire world knows that he is in Afghanistan,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tasnim Aslam.

Ahle Tashai, a Shia organisation, said on October 20 that Taliban cadres from Afghanistan and Arab nationals were “involved” in the recent sectarian clashes between Shias and Sunnis over a disputed shrine in the Orakzai Agency, according to Daily Times. Around 50 people were killed in violence before a ceasefire could be brokered between the two sides. “We (Shias) have proof that foreign Taliban and Arabs fighters joined the local Taliban against Shias in the dispute over the shrine of Mir Anwar Shah in Kalaya tehsil,” Syed Hamayun Shah and Rafique Hussain, members of Ahle Tashai, told a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club. “We noticed Arab nationals and foreign Taliban at a nearby madrassa of Sunnis,” they said, and demanded that the federal Government take action against foreign militants “who compelled the local Taliban to violate a peace accord between the two sects, and disrupted the agency’s peace”.

Afghan militants are planning to launch deadly attacks on civilians in Europe in revenge for the 2001 invasion by United States-led forces, a Taliban commander said on Sky News television on October 23. Mullah Mohammed Amin said resurgent militants had built up stockpiles of weapons and were bent on vengeance against “the foreign invaders”. The Taliban, overthrown by the invasion, now wanted to export terror to the West, he said. “It’s acceptable to kill ordinary people in Europe because these are the people who have voted in the government,” he said. “They came to our home and attacked our women and children,” he added. According to him: “The ordinary people of these countries are behind this – so we will not spare them. We will kill them and laugh over them like they are killing us and laughing at us.” Amin said the Taliban were inspired by tactics used by insurgents in Iraq, namely remote-controlled bombs, land mines and suicide bombers. “They are our best tactic,” he said. Fighters were sheltering in Pakistan and being aided by sympathetic locals, he said in an interview with the British TV channel in the Pakistani border region.

President Pervez Musharraf has vowed to “crush” militancy with force and insisted that the Bajaur Madrassa (seminary) targeted in an air strike on October 30 was a training camp for Taliban militants, according to Daily Times. “We will crush militancy with force and no one will be allowed to challenge the writ of the government,” Gen. Musharraf said in his address at a seminar on ‘Security in South Asia in the Non-Traditional Spheres and Human Security’ on October 31 in Islamabad. He added that the targeting of the training camp was a manifestation of the Government’s resolve to crush militants. “Anyone who says that they were innocent people are telling lies. The compound was being used for training of militants,” Gen Musharraf disclosed. “They were being monitored for the last seven days. We knew exactly who they are, what they are doing. They were all militants, using weapons, doing military training within the compound,” he added.
