A major terrorist strike was averted in Delhi when the police killed two terrorists allegedly belonging to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in a South Delhi shopping plaza, on November 3, on the eve of Diwali (a famous Hindu festival). Speaking to the media, Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Neeraj Kumar said that acting on advance intelligence inputs that LeT terrorists would strike, a special team of Delhi police was waiting in the basement of a shopping center, Ansal Plaza, when the two terrorists drove into the underground parking area and attempted to go up the staircase leading to the floors where hundreds of shops were located, but were stopped by the police. In the ensuing encounter, the two terrorists were killed. The police said the terrorists were armed with automatic weapons. A map showing Sarojini Nagar and Lajpat Nagar Central Markets, along with an AK-56 with two magazines and two US-made pistols with four magazines, was recovered from the possession of the slain terrorists. Meanwhile, speaking to a private news channel, Deputy Prime Minister, LK Advani said the two terrorists seemed to be Pakistanis and were planning to carry out the strike at the behest of Pakistan to trigger off communal violence. He said, "We have had intelligence inputs in the past few days that the terrorists have been told by their masters to choose days and places which would spark off communal violence." Advani added that there was no change in Pakistan's intentions of sponsoring terrorism in India despite international pressure on Pakistan.

According to media reports, latest intelligence inputs have indicated that apart from the two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists killed in the November 3-encounter in Delhi, some more terrorist modules are active in the city. Investigations so far have revealed that the two slain terrorists were from Gujranwala in the Punjab Province of Pakistan. Police recovered three diaries and a cellular phone from their possession and their contents suggest that the two were in regular touch with Azam Cheema, the LeT's ‘commander’ for operations outside Jammu and Kashmir. A matrix of some cryptic signs supposedly used by the terrorists to decode messages sent to them has also been recovered from their possession. Experts have been engaged to decipher the matrix, which might help the intelligence agencies to decode intercepted information.

A media report of November 5 said National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) 'chief' Ranjan Daimary alias D R Nabla has set conditions for talks with the Union government. A Guwahati-based daily that conducted an interview with him via electronic mail said the NDFB 'chief' talked of 'historical rights' and the 'right to self-determination' of the Bodo people in Assam. He indicated if the Union government is willing to talk on these issues, a negotiated settlement of Bodo issue is possible. Nabla also informed that the outfit has not received any fresh offer of talks from the Bhutanese government over its exit from that country. He maintained the "NDFB does not have any permanent camps inside Bhutan to pull out from the Kingdom." He further said, "We are having good and friendly relationship with ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom) as we are fighting the same enemy––India. It all started when we met ULFA friends in 1987 in the NSCN (National Socialist Council of Nagaland) headquarters in Burma (Myanmar)". Nabla also commented on the massacre of 22 migrant labourers in Datgiri village, Kokrajhar district, on October 27 saying, "Unless the colonial forces stop their state-sponsored terrorist activities, once more we reiterate that no Indian civilians can live in peace within Bodoland."

He had reportedly stayed for a few weeks in Mumbra, on the outskirts of Mumbai, and many underworld gangsters allegedly operate from that town, including accomplices of Chhota Shakeel. A Delhi Police team is in Mumbai to probe if Abu Anas had met any underworld operatives. Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), on November 6, asked the Delhi Police to provide ‘immediate and adequate protection’ to an eyewitness in the Ansal Plaza incident and his family.

Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, on November 7, said the reported activities of Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), and of the Al-Qaeda in Bangladesh is a matter of serious concern. After inaugurating the 51st All India Police Games in Bhiwani, Haryana, he said, "After the change of government in Bangladesh, there has been an increase in the activities of the Al-Qaeda and ISI there". He further said Bangladesh's support to terrorists was "covert" and "all insurgent groups of North-East are getting refuge there." Advani also said while the international community has recognised the Al-Qaeda and the Taliban as fountainhead of terrorism, they were yet to acknowledge Pakistan's ISI as among the major sources of terrorism. "This will cost them dear... [Therefore,] irrespective of foreign policy compulsions, one should not be supportive of terrorism anywhere in the world. There should be no room for leniency towards terrorists", he added.

According to media reports, Bangalore police, on November 9, seized a huge cache of explosive devices and material, including gelatin and other chemicals, following the arrest of five suspected terrorists, some of them trained by the Sri Lankan (erstwhile) terrorist group, Peoples Liberation Organisation of Tamil Elam (PLOTE). Karnataka Home Minister Mallikarjuna Kharge, who announced the seizure, said the arrests might have averted a possible attack on civil and defence installations in Bangalore.

At least 13 persons were killed and 45 others injured when two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) fidayeen (suicide squads) simultaneously attacked and subsequently forced their entry into two shrines - Raghunath and Panjbakhtar temples - in Jammu City on November 24. The two fidayeen, who stormed the Raghunath temple were killed by security forces (SFs) after a three-hour operation while their associate who had stormed the Panjbakhtar temple, also known as Shivalaya and Paison Wala Mandir, was killed on November 25, today. Among those killed were two SF personnel, a woman and a child, while the injured included some devotees. Police and local residents of the Raghunath temple area rescued at least 75 devotees, including women and children, while several others fled to safety on their own, after the attack. This is the second attack on the Raghunath temple in less than eight months. Earlier, on March 30, two fidayeen had killed seven persons, including three SF personnel. Director General of Police (DGP) A K Suri said the LeT was responsible for the attack. He said a telephone call was received at his residence on November 24-night in which a Pakistani LeT terrorist said, "We have done it and now it’s your turn". Preliminary information gathered by SFs indicated that the terrorists appeared on Residency road and one of them lobbed two grenades outside a shop and later forced his entry inside the Panjbakhtar temple, where he commenced indiscriminate firing. Even as the grenade explosions and firing attracted the SF’s attention, another fidayeen stormed into the Raghunath temple. After intruding inside the Raghunath temple, the terrorist first lobbed four grenades and then commenced indiscriminate firing with an AK rifle.

Jharkhand police has decided to adopt new strategies to deal with increasing use of landmines by left-wing extremists—Naxalites. Speaking to media persons in Ranchi, Inspector General of Police (Zonal) Rajeev Kumar said, "It takes just 30 minutes to plant a landmine... The subordinate personnel have been sensitised about the threat perception to their lives arising out of landmine blast. They have also been asked to anticipate such dangers and avoid easy identification". He added that the Naxalites "have switched over to landmine blasts as encounters had proved disastrous". Also taking a leaf out of the policy of Andhra Pradesh government, the Jharkhand government would now be hiring private vehicles for patrolling in Naxalite-affected areas, as police vehicles are too easily identifiable. Meanwhile, media reports said growing incidents of Naxal-related violence have forced the government to review the rehabilitation policy announced in the year 2001. A total of 270 persons, including 121 police personnel, were killed in Naxal violence in the State in the last two years, reports said. Reports indicate that the policy has failed to lure Naxalites back to the social mainstream.

Even as the Union government has invited leaders of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isac-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to India for the next round of peace talks, the Manipur State government has decided not to withdraw cases against the outfit and its leaders, reports said on November 30. The Congress-led government in Manipur is in no hurry to facilitate a smooth "homecoming" for both the NSCN-IM leaders––Th. Muivah and Isac Chisi Swu––reports claimed. Quoting Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh, media reports added that the State government will not lift the ban on the NSCN-IM in the State. Singh reportedly said this was because the people of the State are still "apprehensive about the peace talks between the NSCN-IM and the Union government, since there is a feeling that the Naga outfit has territorial ambitions, including the merger of some of Manipur's areas into ‘greater Nagaland’". However, both the NSCN-IM leaders are likely to travel to India in mid-December to hold parleys with the Union government, reports added.
