The Assam Government on April 1 told the Legislative Assembly that 234 Islamist militants were currently lodged in different jails in the State, Indian Express reported. The 234 militants include as many as 150 belonging to the Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA), 50 to the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), and seven Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operatives. The ISI operatives, the Government said, include at least two who are citizens of Pakistan who had admitted during interrogation that they had sneaked into Assam from Bangladesh. Five of those currently in jail are also from Bangladesh. "These militants have been arrested over a period of seven to eight years, and several of them were involved in cases of sabotage and treason," Rockybul Hussain, the Minister for Forests and Environment, told the Assembly on behalf of Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, who also holds the Home portfolio. Hussain said there was strong evidence that a number of these militants had been to Pakistan and Bangladesh and undergone training in arms. "The Government has information that these groups recruit young boys from the districts of Dhubri, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Karimganj, Cachar, Hailakandi, Nalbari, Nagaon and Darrang and send them out for training in Bangladesh and Pakistan," the minister said. Hussain admitted that the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) too was active in Assam, but added that no member of the group had been arrested so far in the State. "While the Government had banned SIMI in 2001, there is information that the group is still active in Assam," Hussain told the Assembly.

On April 2, the Madhya Pradesh Police neutralised a training camp of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in Choral, a popular holiday spot, 35-kilometres from the State capital Bhopal. Police claimed that interrogation of the 13 arrested SIMI cadres led to the information on the existence of the camp. The Superintendent of Police Chanchal Shekhar told Times of India, "We were told the camp trained SIMI activists from Jharkhand, Kerala, Karnataka and a few other states. Each training camp would train around 20 SIMI members. We have information of five such camps in the past one-and-half years, which would mean about a hundred SIMI activists trained in Choral." He said that the trainees were made to climb the surrounding mountains and swim across the river daily. The police also found evidence of a firing range and exploded bits of petrol bombs.

The report of the judicial inquiry headed by Justice (retd) R. K. Manisana Singh which was tabled in the Assam Legislative Assembly on April 2 stated that the All Adivasi National Liberation Army (AANLA) outfit incited a section of the protestors to assault residents and damage vehicles, roadside shops and houses in Beltola in Guwahati on November 24, according to Telegraph. The Manisana Singh report confirmed that some of the protestors came with weapons at the behest of the AANLA leadership. Witnesses were quoted as saying that an AANLA leader, Bikash Munda, gave INR 20,000 to a senior functionary of the All Adivasi Students’ Association of Assam to organise the rally for Scheduled Tribe status. "There was, prima facie, a case of conspiracy among some of the Adivasis at the instigation of the ANLA," Manisana Singh said in his report. The judicial inquiry revealed that administrative ineptness was also responsible for the November 24 Adivasi protest march turning into the worst instance of street rioting in Assam.

According to Daily Excelsior, nearly one hundred militants are believed to have infiltrated into the Gurez and Lolab valley in Bandipora-Kupwara belt in the last five weeks. Official sources said that six to eight groups of militants - with as many as 10 to 20 militants in each group - have successfully crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and landed in the Gurez and Lolab valley in Bandipora and Kupwara districts of Kashmir valley since March 1, 2008. "This is a clear indication that in spite of some positive statements from leaders of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Muslim League (N), the terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK [Pakistan occupied Kashmir] is intact and the practice of training and sending fresh guerrilla groups for subversive activities into Jammu and Kashmir is continuing", a senior Police official said. Field reports, corroborated by inputs from different intelligence agencies, have indicated that around 50 militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) have landed in Lolab in the last five weeks. An equal number of infiltrators, believed to have been launched from Athmuqam and other points on the river Neelam in PoK, have reportedly crossed the LoC and landed in the Gurez-Bandipora forest areas.

The Chhattisgarh Government has reportedly told the Supreme Court that the left-wing extremist problem has reached alarming proportions in the State and it is not possible to end the Salwa Judum, a people’s resistance movement to counter the Maoists. Economic Times quoting from an affidavit filed by the State Government in the apex court reported, "They (Naxals) destroyed 55 primary school buildings, eight panchayat bhawans (buildings of village level self-government institutions), nine ashram bhawans (buildings of religious institutions), nine hostels, eight anganwadi centres, 18 other buildings in the last three years. There were also cases of destruction of electric towers resulting in blackouts in many parts of the Naxal-affected regions". The affidavit said that the people of Chhattisgarh, due to the fear of the Maoists, were living in the camps. "The state cannot stifle any people’s initiative to resist a patently illegal organisation and its activities", the affidavit said.

Councilors of eight municipal councils and 18 nagar panchayats (third tier of the urban local body) in Manipur would tender mass resignation if their appeal to the militants for withdrawal of the demand for diversion of huge amounts from the schemes being undertaken by them is not heeded to. “We have no other choice other than tendering our resignation if their threat and harassment continues despite our appeal,” said S. Budhachandra, president of the All Manipur Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat Joint Action Committee. “When no welfare works for the people can be carried out independently and sincerely and we are under pressure from the militants, it will be better to resign from the councillorship rather than remain as only nominal representatives of the people,” he said.

On April 15, the Union Government in a statement in the Supreme Court strongly opposed the disbanding of the anti-Maoist Salwa Judum movement in Chhattisgarh. The Additional Solicitor-General Gopal Subramanium told the apex court, “To assume that the Salwa Judum was an army of people with weapons and asking for it to be disbanded will be no more than asking for these people to be pushed out to be killed (by the Naxalites).” "Salwa Judum, activists of which are designated as special police officers, is consciously funded by the Centre to save the tribals, who were displaced from the jungles by Naxalites, and protect people from being killed by Naxalites", Subramaniam added. He further said, “Situation is of considerable concern both to the Centre and state. Policemen are not ready to step into the forests. Though 17,000 posts are sanctioned for anti-naxal force, the state government is finding it very difficult to fill them. That is why the self-defence force was organised to save people from becoming sitting ducks for the Naxals.” He, however, said that the Government has no objection to the National Human Rights Commission examining individual human rights violation cases by the Salwa Judum activists.

According to New Indpress, the Orissa Government has decided to prepare a holistic plan to combat the increasing Maoist activities in the State. A decision to this effect was taken at a high-level meeting presided over by Home Secretary T. K. Mishra on April 16. The meeting decided that developmental activities as well as security preparedness will be given priority in the plan. In the first phase, the plan will be implemented in the Rayagada and Malkangiri districts as a pilot project. This will be executed in the Sambalpur, Deogarh and Gajapati districts in the next phase. The Centre has made a provision of INR 500 crore for implementation of the programme over a period of five years in all the Maoist-affected States. The plan will be implemented in 81 districts of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Home Secretary said an empowered committee headed by the Chief Secretary has been constituted for preparation of the action plan. The other members of the committee include the Director General of Police, the Development Commissioner, Agriculture Production Commissioner and the Home Secretary. Mishra said the State Government will submit a report to the Centre in this connection soon seeking financial assistance of INR 25 crore for 2008-09. Other than developmental activities, the plan will include fortification of prisons and police stations. Referring to the decision to fortify all armouries in the State, he said this will be completed within six months. While Malkangiri and Rayagada have been included in category-1 Maoist- affected districts, Deogarh, Gajapati and Sambalpur are in category-2. Ganjam, Koraput, Nabarangpur,Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Sundargarh are in category-3 districts. Besides, Gajapati, Ganjam,Keonjhar, Koraput, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanj, Nabarangpur, Rayagada and Sundargarh districts have been included in the security related expenditure scheme.

Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, prime accused in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai, is currently sporting a French beard after having undergone plastic surgery to evade detection, according to Pioneer. "But after months of investigation has found that the don travels by the name of Shaikh Abdul Rehman on a passport issued from a tiny western African nation - the Republic of Mali, a former French colony," said a CNN-IBN report. The gangster has reportedly 29 passports from several countries including, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Azerbaijan and Mauritius among others. The Interpol red corner notice lists 11 of his Indian passports, but he apparently does not use them anymore. His new passport was made so that he could travel easily in African countries and his business in narcotics could spread in Africa and Europe. His gang has now developed an intricate "Mandrax supply grid" in Africa. They land the drug in South Africa, a major hotspot for international trafficking. Every year for the past 10 years, the biggest Mandrax seizures were reported from South Africa. In 2007 alone, 19 million Mandrax tablets were seized there. From South Africa, Dawood's Mandrax is reportedly sent across Africa to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Morocco. Dawood was declared an international terrorist by the US with an Interpol red corner notice against him. Dawood's passport number is A 1332945 and it was issued to him on April 6, 2005. The passport was used in such a clandestine manner that even the Interpol is not aware of its existence. He also uses a Pakistani passport - H123259 - issued in Rawalpindi, Pakistan in July 2001.

The outfit’s ‘general secretary’, Thuingaleng Muivah, held discussions with the head of the Group of Ministers, Oscar Fernandes, and Chief Interlocutor, K.

An official source said the Government might take strong action against the new outfit.

Maulvi Bazaar district in Bangladesh has become the biggest hideout for militant groups operating in Northeast India, reports Times of India. Apart from other districts of Bangladesh, Maulvi Bazar has figured prominently in the revised list of 117 camps which Border Security Force (BSF) provided to the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) during the recent border coordination conference of the two countries in New Delhi. Maulvi Bazaar - which is flanked by Assam and Tripura from two sides - comprises nearly one-fourth of the total camps located in Bangladesh. Main hideouts in Maulvi Bazar are reportedly at Narsurpunji, Ragichera, Rajki Tea Estate and Avalchera under Kulaura police station, Bagerhat under Dighinala police station, Puranbari, Kalengipunji and Dabalchera under Kamal Ganj police station, Dulubari under Srimangal police station, Segan Bagan under Sajek police station, and Nine Mile under Matiranga police station. The report added that Habibganj, Khagrachari, Rangamati, Chittagong and Sylhet are other districts where Indian intelligence agencies have pin-pointed locations of training camps - some of which are being run with the help of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to train the cadre of Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami (HuJI). Referring to the latest list of training camps which has come down from 141 to 117 in the past two years, an unnamed senior official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs said that though most of the camps were meant to provide training to Northeast militant groups – the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and People's Liberation Army (PLA) - some of them in Maulvi Bazaar and Habibganj had been identified as main hideouts of the HuJI cadres. "India has prepared the list on the basis of its own intelligence as well as after taking into account the details provided by a number of terrorists arrested along the border and elsewhere in India," the official said.

Nagaland Post quoting Government sources reports that a Unified Command Structure would be set up in Arunachal Pradesh to combat militants from neighbouring Assam and Nagaland who are using the mountainous region as a base to carry out their hit-and-run guerrilla strikes. Militant groups like the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are reportedly setting up well-entrenched bases in the Tirap, Changlang, and Lohit districts. "The Unified Command that is likely to be initiated would be similar to the one currently operational in Assam," an unnamed senior official said. "The ULFA is not only setting up bases in the state but also using Arunachal Pradesh as a transit to Myanmar. We cannot allow our State to be used by militants from other states for anti-national activities," he stated. One police official said, "Extortion and kidnappings are common place in parts of Tirap and Changlang districts by the NSCN. The area is gradually becoming a lawless region." Meanwhile, Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu had earlier said that the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) was on a recruitment drive in the State and abducted more than 50 local tribal youths to join the outfit. "These are serious issues and we cannot allow our peaceful state to be vitiated," he said. The report added that while the overall head of the Unified Command would be Chief Minister Khandu, general officer commanding of the army's Four Corps based in Assam's northern town of Tezpur Lt. Gen. B.S. Jaswal would command the operations.

On April 21, Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said that the Union Government is planning to raise 200-300 battalions of central para-military forces (CPMFs) to enhance internal security in the next five to seven years. Speaking in the Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament) during a day-long discussion on the Demands for Grants of the Home Ministry, Patil said that the problem of left-wing extremism has been blown out of proportion as the problem is confined only to about one per cent of the country's area. He further said that a moderate approach, which includes persuasion as well as use of force as and when required, is the right way to tackle Maoist violence in the country. "Some members here said that an iron will is required to deal with Naxalism. Some said we lack will power. On the other hand, one of the members said that bullets would not solve this problem and we need to create the right atmosphere to tackle Naxalism. A middle path is, thus, required," he said.

The involvement of Pakistan-based outfits has been observed in most of the terrorist attacks in India as groups from across the border continue to sponsor terrorist and subversive activities in the country, the Union Home Ministry said in its Annual Report for 2007-08, PTI reported. "The hand of Pakistan-based terrorist organisations - LeT and JeM - and, increasingly of the Bangladesh-based HuJI, known to have close links with ISI, has been observed in most of these cases," the 167-page report said. The incidents showed these groups have been using sleeper cells in the country to carry out such activities, and have also been using the territory of other neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh and Nepal, it said. The report said that as part of its counter measures, the Government has banned 32 groups as terrorist organisations under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. It also said the Centre has adopted a multi-pronged approach and strategy for countering the activities of the Pakistan’s ISI and PoK-based terrorist groups. "This includes intensive patrolling and surveillance on the borders, including border fencing, floodlighting and strengthening coastal security arrangements to check infiltration," it said. Deployment of Central para-military forces to aid the State police forces in areas prone to terrorist violence and heightened vigil and security arrangements in and around vital installations are among other counter-measures being taken by the security establishment. The report said regular sharing of intelligence with the State Governments and among various agencies was carried out besides strengthening of arrangements and mechanism for intelligence gathering, particularly at the cutting edge level.

They (the migrants) were an "integral part of the composite social fabric" of the Valley and their return would address a "major humanitarian concern that has been crying for attention over the years’’, he added.

According to Assam Tribune, the Guwahati Police on April 28 arrested Kazi Omar Farooq, chairman of the Manipur-based Islamist militant outfit People’s United Liberation Front (PULF), from a rented house at Sasal area. The arrest came following the earlier detention of three PULF cadres from a rented accommodation at Dispur area, The Sangai Express reported. Additional Superintendent of Police Debojit Deuri said, "During the interrogation of the three PULF cadres on Sunday, our team raided a house in Chasal and could nab Farooq today." Kazi had been hiding in the city for a long time, he added. "The arrest of the PULF cadres from states like Assam, Karnataka [In Mysore on April 27] and other places made it clear that the cadres of the outfit had been on the run from its own state Manipur," Deuri said and added that interrogation is underway to trace more clues regarding the outfit's base in Guwahati. "We have however, no confirmed information whether the outfit was conducting any recruitment in the state," Deuri said. The PULF militants who were arrested on April 27 from Guwahati were identified as Mohammad Zakria Khan , Mohammad Altaf and Firoze Khan, police added.

Admitting that the rise of Naxalism was a "political movement with a strong base among poor peasantry and adivasis," a high-powered Government committee has ascribed its growth to people’s discontent and complete failure of the system and asked for immediate winding up of the anti-Maoist Salwa Judum campaign, according to Times of India. The report, prepared by a panel set up by the Planning Commission, said that measures like Salwa Judum "delegitimizes politics, dehumanizes people, degenerates those engaged in their security and above all, represents abdication of the state itself." While criticising the crude violence practised by the Maoists, the committee asked the Government to first deal with the problem of landlessness, ensure livelihood and have an effective land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement policy. It also asked the Government to hold peace talks with the Maoists. Stating that "dissent or expression of dissatisfaction is a positive feature of democracy", the committee said, "What is surprising is not the fact of unrest, but the failure of the state to draw right conclusions from it." The committee recommended that all debt liabilities of the weaker sections be liquidated where the debtor has paid an amount equivalent to the original principal and where intended benefit for which the loan was taken has not accrued to the borrowers. The committee recommended that the tribal sub-plan be brought under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution and forest produce be provided protection of minimum support price. The committee, set up by the Planning Commission in 2006, is headed by D. Bandopadhyay, a retired Indian Administrative Service officer who played a key role in dealing with the Naxalites in West Bengal in the 1970s. Among the members are Prakash Singh, former Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police; Ajit Doval, former director of the Intelligence Bureau; B. D. Sharma, a retired bureaucrat; Sukhdeo Thorat, University Grants Commission chairman and K. Balagopal, human rights lawyer. The committee submitted its report earlier this month.

India was among the countries worst affected by terrorism with militant attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and in the Northeast, attacks by Naxalites and attacks elsewhere in the country taking a toll of more than 2,300 lives in 2007, the US State Department said, according to PTI. The State Department, in its annual report on terrorism, said terrorist activities along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir are on the decline but Pakistan-based militant outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in the Valley. "Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba and other Kashmir-focused groups continued regional attack planning. In 2007, Kashmir-focused groups continued to support attacks in Afghanistan, and operatives trained by the groups continued to feature in Al-Qaeda transnational attack planning," it said. The report said Indian Government’s counter terrorism efforts remained hampered by outdated and overburdened law enforcement and legal systems. "The Indian court system was slow, laborious, and prone to corruption. Terrorism trials can take years to complete. Many of India’s local police forces were poorly staffed, lacked training, and were ill-equipped to combat terrorism effectively," the report said. Noting about the attack on Samjhauta Express in February 2007, the report said it was carried out by extremists who tried to incite anger among the Hindus and Muslims. "These attacks, which killed and injured both Muslims and Hindus, were probably conducted by extremists hoping to incite anger between the Hindu and Muslim communities. "Indian officials claim that the perpetrators of these attacks have links to groups based in Pakistan and Bangladesh, particularly Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami, among others," the report said. The report also took note of the US-India Joint Working Group on Terrorism (CTJWG) which has so far met nine times since its formation in 2000. India participated in CTJWGS with 15 other countries, and in multilateral CTJWGS with the EU and with the Bay of Bengal initiative for multi-sectoral technical and economic cooperation, an organisation that promotes economic cooperation among Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal.

The United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and the Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) declared to check the hike in price of kerosene oil while exploring the reasons behind the price hike of the same in the local markets. A joint statement of the two outfits signed by ‘deputy secretary organizations’, UNLF, N Ibochou, and ‘secretary publicity and research’ of the KYKL, Langamba Mangang, said they planned to make available kerosene at the control rate of INR 14 per litre through the SK Oil agents. The outfits have also said that except the authorized agents, no one else could sell kerosene in the markets. Anybody found selling in ‘black’ will be severely dealt with without warning, it added. During an investigation into the increasing price of kerosene by the two outfits, the statement said, it was revealed that some of the quotas of the kerosene were taken by the militants. But it was also true that before the outfits took the same, the Chief Minister and other ministers and their close associates had been siphoning the same, they alleged.

An unnamed senior police officer said this camp was frequently used by the ULFA, National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) militants, since they have some common areas of operation and used this vital transit camp not only for shelter but also for ammunition supply. Ten rounds of live ammunition of 12 bore pistols, seven rounds of 12 bore fired cases, eight live and five spent rounds of ammunition of AK-47 rifles, 18 live and seven spent rounds of .22 pistols, two blank detonators, 500 grams of explosive, one improvised explosive device (IED), wires, one 7.62-mm magazine of LMG and one rotating block of AK-56 were seized from the camp.
