Assisted by helicopter gun-ships, Pakistani security forces attacked a madrasa (Islamic seminary) run by terror-cleric Sadiq Noor killing 25-30 terrorists, including foreigners in Miranshah, the main city of North Waziristan. Many al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists had found safe sanctuary among the Pashtun tribesmen who are at odds with Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf over lack of economic investment and support to the United States in the war on terror. Known for the number of terrorists, Waziristan has a high illiterate and economically marginalized population that depends on terrorism as a means of living. Like fellow tribesmen in Baloachistan, the Pushtuns say that Musharraf does not give them any development and treats their region as a colony. The Afghans complained bitterly to US President George Bush when he made a surprise stopover in Kabul about lack of adequate Pakistani measures to check terrorism. They want Pakistan to dismantle its terror network sponsored by its intelligence agencies-specifically the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). More than 120 have died after Pushtuns launched a rebel attack on Pakistan security forces as reprisal to a March 1 attack on their positions by Pakistan. Many say that the March 1 attack was timed by Musharraf to win Brownie point from Bush. It is not clear if Noor or another rabid cleric Maulana Abdul Khaliq Haqqani were present at the madrasa when the attack took place. On the Eastern border, reports are reaching Srinagar that Pakistan has arrested Syed Salahuddin, so-called Supreme Commander of United Jihad Council (UJC) that focuses attacks on India. Salahuddin has been at odds with Pakistani ISI since 2000 when he responded to a ceasefire by the Indian Army. However, that ceasefire lasted only 15 days because of lack of support within the UJC. Kashmir pro-Pakistan hard-line leader Syed Ali Geelani said that he will launch anti-Pakistan protests in Srinagar if Salahuddin is not released. The Indian Government plans to ask Pakistan to hand him over for crimes against India; Salahuddin is one of the top 20 most wanted in India. Pakistan is accused by Indian intelligence and American Central Intelligence Agency of harboring number one Dawood Ibrahim--Pakistan rejects this charge and denies his presence there. Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid M. Kasuri admits the presence of terrorists in Pakistan and says that his Government has "influence over them" but does not "control" them.
