The Indian security establishment is keeping a close watch over Dawood Ibrahim’s plans to target New Delhi, Hindustan Times reports on June 2. The security agencies’ anxiety over D-company is based on an intelligence input that Ibrahim "Tiger" Memon, the main accused in the 1993 Mumbai (Maharashtra) serial blasts case had a meeting with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad around May 15, 2014, to discuss plans to engineer blasts and attack soft targets in Delhi. Memon is based in Karachi and is part of the D-company network in south Asia and the Middle-East. According to the input, Memon was tasked with diverting money to India through Delhi and not the usual Mumbai route for targeting the Capital. The intelligence lead has been shared at the highest levels with security agencies and efforts are on to monitor cross-border movement of money through the hawala (illegal money transaction) or underworld route. “We are trying to verify this terror input but, as of now, it still stands uncorroborated. This may turn out to be one of the many leads that lead to no result. But we are taking this threat seriously and are using technical aid to cross-check this meeting,” said a senior counter-terror official.

The government has decided to enact a new law, titled ‘Foreign Donations Regulation Act 2014’, to ensure transparency in the process of receiving funds from abroad and to eliminate militant financing, The Independent reports on June 2. For enacting the new law, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has prepared a draft of the Act, which is likely to be placed before the Cabinet meeting today (June 2), sources in the PMO said. Under the draft Act, candidates to Parliament and local government bodies, Members of Parliament (MPs), elected representatives of the local government councils, political parties, officials working in different constitutional bodies and Justices of the Supreme Court, officials and employees of government organisations and officials and employees of registered Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) cannot receive any foreign donations. The Director General of the NGO Affairs Bureau, Mohammad Nurun Nabi Talukder, said that they are enacting the new Act to ensure transparency and impart dynamism to the government’s development programme. “If we can ensure transparency while receiving foreign funds, we can check terror and militant financing,” he said. Further, sources in the Social Welfare Ministry and the NGO Affairs Bureau said, “So many NGOs have mobilised a huge amount of funds from donor agencies and persons, which are involved in various disruptive activities worldwide, including militancy. Most of the funds are being used for militancy and terror financing.” Activities of over 500 suspect NGOs are also under surveillance by different intelligence agencies as the organisations were involved in militancy and other anti-people activities in the country.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has condemned the recent arrest of suspended Delhi University Assistant Professor G.N. Saibaba and the other office-bearers of the Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF) over alleged links with the Maoists, reports The Hindu on June 3. In an open letter, the Maoist spokesperson Abhay said the RDF firmly supported the ongoing “revolutionary movement”. “It is one of the hundreds of progressive and revolutionary organisations that denounced Operation Green Hunt - government’s military offensive against the Maoists - as a war against the masses. Therefore, governments at the Centre and in the States have started arresting RDF leaders on false charges. Saibaba is one among them,” he said. The Maoist spokesperson said the arrest was an indication of what was in the offing under the new dispensation at the Centre.

The Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) would be given greater financial and administrative powers to meet the necessary requirements, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) sources said on June 2, reports The New Indian Express. “They can send a quarterly report to the Centre about the essential purchases,” sources added.

The trail proceedings of Mobarak Hossain a leader of Brahmanbaria Awami League was concluded on June 2, reports Daily Star. International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1) may deliver verdict in the War Crimes case against Hossain any day now. The three-member ICT-1 led by its Chairman Justice M Enayetur Rahim kept Mobarak's case on CAV [Curia Advisari Vult, a Latin legal term meaning verdict could be delivered anytime] after hearing two petitions submitted by the prosecution. On November 11, 1971, Mobarak and his armed associates abducted Abdul Khaleque of Satian village at about 9:00 pm and took him to the Razakar camp of Suhilpur Union Parishad. Khaleque, a pro-liberation Ansar member, faced torture and was eventually killed, according to the charges pressed against Mobarak. While serving as a Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) member during the Liberation War, he was involved in murder, abduction, confinement, torture and loot, according to the charges. Mobarak, as a commander of Razakar force, substantially “participated in”, “contributed to” and “facilitated” the commission of crimes in different parts of Brahmanbaria in 1971. In the closing arguments, the prosecution appealed to the tribunal to award him capital punishment for his crimes against humanity during the war. On April 23, 2013 the tribunal indicted Mobarak, for his war crimes.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) hit squad was assigned to take hostages and lay siege on the Indian Consulate in Herat Province of Afghanistan, to coincide with the oath ceremony of Indian Prime MInister Narendra Modi, security sources in the Indian establishment have now concluded after studying the pattern of attack and taking stock of the recovery from the operatives killed, NDTV reports on June 4. This also confirms outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai's assertion that the LeT had was behind the Herat attack. Intelligence officials point out that the three attackers killed did not wear suicide vests, a Taliban trait. This, they say, further confirms them as highly-trained LeT operatives. Intelligence reports have warned the Indian Government of more possible attacks on Indian missions and assets since Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is uneasy with the large-scale Indian presence in Afghanistan post the US' withdrawal at the end of the year.

Nagaland Post reports on June 4 that NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) ‘People’s Army of Nagaland’ ‘Lieutenant General’ Niki Sumi has blamed the State Government agencies, “especially the police and bureaucracy” for victimizing “hundreds of NSCN workers” merely on grounds of law and order situation. In a statement, Niki said, polarization of “Naga political groups” and “diabolic cease-fire engagement” of Centre with various groups regardless of authenticity of their stand on the Naga political issue, has created significant “anti-incumbency environment” in the “Indo-Naga” political standoff. He said the State Government was only a facilitator and not a party to Ceasefire agreement between Government of India and NSCN.

The Telegraph reports that Superintendent of Police (SP), Nityananda Goswami of Hamren Police Station in Karbi Anglong Hill District and his Personal Security Officer (PSO) Ratul Nunisa were killed in an ambush by suspected Karbi Peoples Liberation Tigers (KPLT) in the night of June 5 at Rongfu along the Assam-Meghalaya border in Karbi Anglong District. Their bodies were recovered in the morning of June 6. The SP and 18 others, including additional SP, Bedanta Borkakaty, and Hamren Police Station Officer-in-Charge, Kamal Bora, had gone to the area on a counter-insurgency operation when they came under heavy fire from a large number of militants. However, Additional Director-General of Police, A.P. Rout told The Hindu that cadres of two militant outfits, KPLT and United People’s Liberation Front (UPLF), a new lesser-known militant outfit were suspected to be involved in the battle. The Police team was ambushed by a group of 15-20 militants. Top intelligence sources, meanwhile, have refuted the claims of UPLA to be behind the incident, stating that “preliminary investigation into the incident has indicated KPLT’s involvement and that there was specific inputs about their movement”, adds The Assam Tribune. Additional Security Forces (SFs) have been rushed to Karbi Anglong and Army has been asked to carry out counter-insurgency operations with renewed vigour, according to The Telegraph. And the State Government has asked for five additional units of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA).

In a new anti-Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)], strategy being readied by the Union Government, bureaucrats and Security personnel operating in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit areas may get special monetary benefits, out-of-turn promotions and choice posting after the completion of their tenure in these "dangerous" places, reports The Times of India on June 7. Flagging Naxalite areas as the 'most dangerous zone' in the country, the government will enhance hardship allowance given to paramilitary personnel deployed in these places more than what they get while serving in Jammu & Kashmir and Northeastern region. During a review meeting on June 6 the Union Minister of Home Affairs Rajnath Singh, along with Minister of State for Home, Kiren Rijiju, were briefed about various aspects of left wing extremism and the steps being taken to control it. Singh also emphasized on completing the existing development projects in Naxalite-hit areas, including construction of 5,000km roads at a cost of INR 100 billion and setting up of 2,199 mobile phone towers at a cost of INR 30 billion. Singh promised to ensure regular flow of funds for all development projects. He asked the officials to review the policy under which forest lands are given to landless tribals so that 'pattas' can be given to genuine applicants after showing leniency.

The initiative is being seen as an indication of the new dispensation’s decision to overhaul the internal security infrastructure. “During the first meeting, we had flagged the issue highlighting that there were vacuums in the Naxal-hit areas that needed to plugged,” said an official.

The long drawn General Elections had a negative impact on anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] operations, reports The Times of India. With Security Forces being put to rigorous duty during elections, anti-Maoist operations have almost died down post-polls. While a large chunk of the forces fighting Naxals have gone on leave to recuperate from poll exertions, the searing heat in the plains this year has restricted movement of the existing battalions. The result is that a major chunk of operational time (between March and June) has been lost to poll duties and post-poll recuperation. July onwards rains will kick in and it would become very difficult to move in the jungles of Chhattisgarh with overflowing rivers, inundated tracks and heavy undergrowth. "We had to give our jawans (troopers) some breathing space after the relentless effort they put in during elections. All leaves had been cancelled at that time so jawans have been allowed to go home to meet their families. Only a refreshed and re-energized jawan can conduct successful operations. Operations are still on, but the intensity is down," Dilip Trivedi, Director General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF),stated.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) recovered a cache of 18 live bombs, explosives and detonators in Ranchi District on June 7, following information from two suspected aides of alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) militants, arrested in connection with Patna blasts in 2013, reported The Hindu. While one of the suspects has been arrested, the other is being interrogated. “At the instance of one Iftikhar, we have seized 18 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) bundled into six clusters. The bombs had been buried in Sithio village, in the outskirts of Ranchi. Four of the accused in the blasts belong to the same village,” an NIA official said. The breakthrough came following the recent arrests of alleged IM suspects Haidar Ali, Mojibullah Ansari and Numan Ansari. “Another person named Feroze Aslam led us to a shop at Hindpirhi in Ranchi, from where we have seized a consignment of explosives and about a dozen detonators,” the official said, adding that Feroze had been arrested.

The Sangai Express reports that Chungjalen Haokip (45), elder brother of Kuki National Liberation Front (KNLF) ‘general secretary’ Lalmoi alias Tonglenlal Haokip was shot and injured by some unidentified persons near his home at Tuibuong, Lamka town in Churachandpur District in the night of June 7. KNLF ‘information and publicity secretary’ Kolphe while strongly condemning the attack, alleged that Chungjalen was shot by United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) just because he happens to be an elder brother of KNLF’s 'general secretary'. Chungjalen is a civilian and he has no connection with the KNLF in any manner. He moved from Chandel to Tuibuong and settled after he was ousted from Chandel by UKLF a few years back, Kolphe said.

The Telegraph reports on June 8 that the Myanmar-based National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) led by S.S. Khaplang has sought Statehood for the Naga people in Myanmar. According to a source, the outfit has already submitted a proposal for statehood to the Union Government of Myanmar. A former senior functionary in the NSCN-K, Kughalu Mulatonu, said Khaplang had already submitted a Statehood proposal to the Myanmar government for the Naga people. “Khaplang has submitted a statehood proposal to the Myanmar government,” he said. Mulatonu had recently deserted the NSCN-K and joined the NSCN-Khole-Kitovi (NSCN-KK) along with a few cadres. The NSCN-K signed a bilateral ceasefire with the Myanmar Government in May 2012 and a peace process is under way. Naga people live in Sagaing division, but after signing of a ceasefire agreement, the Myanmar Government has granted the Nagas self-administrative autonomy. The Government there has assured rapid development in the Naga-inhabited areas in Myanmar. The rival outfits in Nagaland have said Khaplang, a Naga from Myanmar, is contemplating to resolve the Naga issue with Myanmar. There are now only a few hundred cadres of the NSCN-K in Nagaland. They have two designated camps, one at Suruhoto in Zunheboto District and the other at Mon District. Though the Indian Government had also signed a bilateral ceasefire with the outfit on April 28, 2011, talks have not started. But the Centre has ruled out talks with the NSCN-K till issues are resolved with the NSCN led by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah (NSCN-IM).

Former Norwegian Minister and Peace Envoy Erik Solheim, once a key negotiator in Sri Lanka's Oslo-mediated peace process, said he is willing to be a witness at any recognized international tribunal on alleged war crimes committed by Sri Lanka during the war, reports Colombo page on June 8. Solheim, noting that peace in Sri Lanka was won by the war at a tremendous cost, said he still believes peace could have been achieved without the bloodshed. He said that "during the last four months of the war, we called upon Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Velupillai Prabhakaran to accept an 'organized' end to the war, which would have saved the lives of tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of LTTE cadres. Kumaran Pathmanathan (KP) can bear witness to this. It is so sad he did not accept the facts." He explained that Prabhakaran's refusal to accept federalism and the constant infighting, between the two main political parties, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United National Party (UNP) were the two main obstacles to the Norway-brokered peace process.

On June 8, in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Police arrested three people and neutralised a fake lottery racket operated from Pakistan, reports The Times of India. Later on June 9 a special judge remanded two of three accused to Police custody till June 12, 2014. Those remanded to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) custody were Vishnu Prajapati and Brijesh Patel. Third accused in the case was sent to judicial remand till June 23, 2014. Police said Interpol's help would be sought to arrest Pakistani nationals involved. CID officials found Prajapati and Patel were given instructions by two Pakistani handlers, Javed and Ishaq, and were in touch with them through e-mail and on phone. The duo would approach the Indian conduits like Prajapati and Patel and convince them to open saving accounts in banks, offering them commission. Later, the Pakistani handlers would call up people across the state introducing them as lottery-draw team members. Investigations revealed the accused had made a transaction of more than INR 1,0,000,000 after duping several people in six months. Police are probing if Pakistani SIMs were being used in India, said an officer. Agency is also looking to take action against telecom companies as the accused were found to be using multiple SIM cards on forged documents. Officers of the national bank are also under scanner. Once money was deposited in the account, accused immediately withdrew it and handed it over to hawala (illegal money transaction) operators who would pass it to Pakistani handlers via Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Indian agents get two to three per cent commission, while the rest went to Pakistan.

Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader Haider Ali alias Black Beauty, who masterminded Bodh Gaya blasts of 2013, was also allegedly planning to bomb a special train from Delhi to Gaya carrying pilgrims as well as some other Buddhist sites, The Times of India reports on June 9. Ali has allegedly told his interrogators that the attacks were meant to avenge atrocities against Muslims in Myanmar. Haider told his interrogators he was "dissatisfied" with the execution of the Bodh Gaya blasts as "there was no casualty". According to his interrogation report, Haider told Intelligence Bureau and National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, "After the anti-Muslim [violence] in Burma (Myanmar) in mid-2012, I told Imtiaz and others that the Buddhists had killed many Rohingya Muslims. I downloaded and showed them videos of Muslims being slaughtered, children being smothered and Muslim women being raped by the local Buddhists. I suggested that as Bodh Gaya was the holiest Buddhist shrine in India, it would be appropriate if such an action (blast) is carried out there as it would send a befitting message to the world." His interrogation report also reveals that he had gone to Nepal and also planned to visit Afghanistan. "His agenda was to locate the Pakistani embassy and go to Afghanistan for a 'hijrat' via Pakistan," said a source. Haider said it was Uzair Ahmad who introduced him to SIMI but it was Manzar Imam who motivated him to become a SIMI member. "After first meeting with Manzar Imam in a SIMI programme at Chittarpur (Jharkhand) in 2007, I was very much influenced by him. Once I visited his house to meet him and collect some religious books," Haider told interrogators. Before his arrest, he was reportedly leading a sizeable number of members of SIMI.

The Indian Mujahideen (IM) plans to set up an extortion cell in the Middle East to generate funds for its terror activities and kidnap rich Indian businessmen to make quick money, according to Indian security agencies, dnaindia.com reports on June 9. IM operatives even plan to resort to robbery, looting and dacoity to address the cash crunch. Investigations by Indian security agencies have revealed that IM operative Mirza Shadab Baig has planned to set up an extortion cell in Dubai called 'Maal-e-Ghanimat' (system for collection of funds from people) for jihad (religious or holy war). "Earlier, the IM was against the use of such kind of money for terror operations. However, with funds from Pakistan drying up, it has no option but to resort to such things," said a senior intelligence officer. In his statement to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), arrested IM operative Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi said he was in talks with Baig to identify a hawala (illegal money transaction) operator in Dubai and Middle East so that the money generated from extortion could be routed to India. Baig has been made in charge of the project to set up the extortion cell in Dubai and the point-person to collect the money. Sources said Baig and his associates have procured a few Dubai SIM cards which will be used for making extortion calls. "Of the total extortion money collected by IM, 50 per cent will be used for terror activities and the remaining will be set aside to be given to the al Qaeda," said another senior officer. "IM leaders are in talks with senior Qaeda and Taliban leaders because they want to sever ties with ISI." The NIA which was investigating the October 2013 Patna bomb blasts stumbled upon another source of money generation for the IM's terror activities. "Robberies and bank dacoities were being carried out to generate funds," a Police officer said.

Underscoring that strengthening of the Police force and creation of a ‘Special Force-10’ to tackle insurgency was under way, Sangma said several schemes for gainful employment of the youth so that they are not lured into militancy, were also being implemented. He also said a list of interlocutors to hold dialogues with terror outfit Garo National Liberation Council (GNLA) has been forwarded to the central government for the latter's approval. Besides, the Government has also appointed two interlocutors to hold dialogues with splinter groups, on condition that they abjured violence, the chief minister said. The Centre has rushed 10 companies of additional paramilitary forces to assist the State Police to contain the situation in this region. The Centre will dispatch five more companies of paramilitary forces soon to the Garo Hills, chief minister said even as he expressed gratitude to the Centre for having responded positively to the request of the state by promptly dispatching central Security Forces.

At least 24 persons including 10 militants, seven Security personnel and civilian each were killed during a clash when Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants attacked the old terminal of Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh on June 8, reports The News. Authorities said all 10 militants had been killed and that the bodies of 14 victims, including security personnel and four airport workers, had been identified at the city´s main hospital. TTP accepted the responsibility of the attack. Officials said the gunmen entered from two sides of the airport -- the terminal used for the hajj pilgrimage, and an engineering section close to an old terminal that is no longer in use - at around 11:00 pm on June 8. After the attack was quelled, a bomb disposal expert was seen walking from the site carrying a suicide vest and a bag full of hand grenades."Seven terrorists were killed by the security forces while three blew themselves up," Rizwan Akhter, Director General of Sindh Rangers said. Militants, some dressed in Army uniform, clashed with the airport´s security force who were backed by Police, paramilitary squads and elite commandos. Smoke was seen billowing from the airport as fires raged close to planes parked on the runway. A senior intelligence official said it appeared the militants had aimed to hijack a plane that passengers were boarding at the main terminal, but that when they were repelled they went on the rampage. "The passenger plane at Jinnah terminal was their target and when they failed to reach there they destroyed two private terminals in frustration," he commented.

One June 9, lawmakers of different political parties stressed on the need to adopt a federal system based on the country's specialty, reports The Himalayan Times. The lawmakers stressed that country's unique feature and necessity should be considered while federating the country. It would be unfortunate for the country if it was federated haphazardly, they said, arguing that maximum seven provinces based on country's economic capacity and potentiality would be appropriate. However, some of the lawmakers demanded that Comprehensive Peace Accord, the Interim Constitution of Nepal and other political pacts be enforced while mapping the federal states and issues of identity of the people should not be interpreted from the point of view of ethnicity alone. Issues regarding how to lead the country towards prosperity should be the agenda of federalism, they said.

In a meeting with the Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) leaders on June 9, CPN-Maoist Vice-chairman CP Gajurel presented an eight-point outline aimed at bringing all the political forces together. Though only in its preliminary stage, the National Political Assembly (NPA) has drawn positive response from all three major parties who believe the process will help bring the poll-opposing forces on board the CA process. The objective of the meet, according to the party, would be to create an enabling environment for incorporating past pacts in a pro-people constitution and to find consensus on vital issues while drafting the statute. “All the parties have taken the CPN-M’s proposal positively and have decided to discuss it first within their respective parties,” UCPN-M leader Baburam Bhattarai said following the meeting.

Environment Ministry has now given its go-ahead to install a radar station at Narcondam in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, The Times of India reports on June 12.

Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar noted that the radar project was of strategic important to India. "Only 8-10 people will be employed at the station. It will not in any way affect the natural environment there," the minister said, wondering why such an important project was kept pending for so long under the previous government.

Terrorists backed by the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) were planning to target port and central railway station as well as airports in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Bangalore (Karnataka), as per revelations by ISI agent Mohammed Sakir Husain arrested at Chennai in April 2014, Economic Times reports on June 12. Hussain has revealed that all planning, tasking and financing was being done personally by Pakistani High Commission (in Colombo) Counselor Amir Zubair Siddiq (code named Mama @ Ravi) and his senior 'Shah'. Husain was occasionally also briefed by Pakistani Defence Adviser (in Colombo) Colonel Shahryar during such meetings. The Colombo Pakistan Consulate officials used over a dozen different (Sri Lankan, Malaysian, Maldivian) telephone numbers to remain in touch with Hussain. Husain was tasked to "develop reliable contacts working in Vishakhapatnam and Cochin Naval bases, Chennai Port, Atomic power plant in Tamil Nadu" as per the IR. He was further tasked in June 2013 to clandestinely obtain photographs of US Consulate in Chennai, Shipping yard of Chennai port, Chennai airport, Chennai Railway Station, Israel consulate in Bangalore, Electronic City in Bangalore, the Bangalore Airport. Security agency sources have told that Husain @ John's mission was reminiscent of the David Headley recees in India before the devastating 2008 Mumbai attacks. Siddiq even told Husain to steal the laptops of senior officials of the Indian High Commission in Colombo and obtain web-data / emails through local contacts working there in July 2013. Husain was also tasked to provide details of Israelis residing in Colombo, according to IR. Husain, who was already indulged in human trafficking, also provided details to Siddiq of potential Indian nationals in Chennai and Trivandrum (Kerala) who could be tapped for facilitating "blasts" in India. During August 2013, Hussain received another SL Rs 1,00,000 from Siddiq for visiting Chennai to cultivate suitable assets for espionage and sabotage in naval bases at Cochin, Vizag and Chennai. Emboldened by the results, Siqqiq further tasked Hussain to cultivate an Indian navy officer in southern India and lure him to Colombo on tourism. The larger plan entailed even attacking the US Consulate in Chennai, by sending two Pakistani origin terrorists via boat to Tamil Nadu from Sri Lanka. Code names allocated were 'marriage hall' (for US Consulate), 'Cooks' (terrorists), 'masala Items' (explosives) and 'food preparation' (blast). He was paid SL Rs. 25,000 for taking photographs of US Consulate in Chennai. The photographs were forwarded vide his email address
[email protected]
to Siqqiq on latter's email id
[email protected]
. Timing of the bomb blasts was to create instability to coincide with the new BJP-led government assuming power at Delhi. Husain disclosed that Siddiq used him to regularly arrange fake SL passports for Pakistanis. In one particular case, the Pakistani operatives were to travel from Colombo to Male on Pakistani passports and subsequently from Male to Bangalore via Trivandrum by flights on fake Sri Lankan passports. This plan was approved on 20th March 2014 in the presence of two other senior Pak officials from Islamabad who met Husain discreetly at a Hotel in Negambo outside Colombo. Apart from this, weapons smuggling was being done regularly by the Pak High Commission in Colombo through its Counsellor Siddiq, with help of Husain. He received SL Rs 1.75 lakhs for clearing one particular consignment of AKs from Colombo port. Ishrat Kahan (Pak national handling Bangkok-Colombo-Male operations of the ISI) and Arshad (working at Pak High Commission in Colombo) were the other two cut-out contacts of Hussain for these tasks.

We will decide the matter soon.” However, he asked the House members not to think too much about the work and formation of the HLPC.

Defence Ministry Spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya on June 11 said that those making false accusations from European and North American countries that deported Tamil asylum seekers are subjected to rape and sexual abuse at the hands of Security Forces (SFs) wanted to avoid being deported to Sri Lanka, reports Daily news. He said that illegal migrants seeking asylum or refugee status have become a problem for the countries in these regions and their pleas are getting rejected as authorities in such countries have a clear understanding of what is happening in the country. He stressed that these allegations are part of a massive campaign launched by the asylum seekers along with over 7 per cent of the Tamil Diaspora members who are desperately trying to carve out a separate state in the country.

The intelligence bureau (IB) warned Delhi Police about a possible terror strike at north Delhi’s busy Chandni Chowk market in the run-up to Independence Day (August 15), reports Hindustan Times on June 13. Previous IB-generated terror forewarnings either mentioned south Delhi markets such as Greater Kailash M-block and Connaught Place, where multiple bombings have occurred in the past as possible targets, or were general advisories asking the Police to step-up security across popular market places in the Capital. This time, however, the input is unambiguous and, according to sources in the IB, goes to the extent of stating that ‘militant Islamist cadre’ were chalking out a plan to ‘replicate’ attacks like the multiple bombings of February 2013 at Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, in addition to a similar attack at Mumbai’s Zaveri Bazaar during serial blasts by the Indian Mujahideen (IM) in 2011. What is worrying about the possible attack is the fact that Chandni Chowk won’t be one of the targets but the sole target this time around,” said an unknown IB official. He added that the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was the number one suspect.

Several families have already crossed over to Afghanistan due to uncertainty.

Meanwhile, over 6,000 people from Ahmedzai Wazir and other clans have taken refuge in Khost province of Afghanistan’s in the aftermath of the recent targeted military action, suggesting the North Waziristan Agency (NWA) tribesmen consider the neighbouring country safer than their own, Dawn reported on June 13. “Keeping in view the long stay and plight of thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) of FATA in and off relief camps, I have made my mind to take my family to Afghanistan instead of keeping them in grimy tents in the adjacent Bannu District,” said a tribal elder from Miranshah. Several families have already crossed over to Afghanistan due to uncertainty. Afghan official says 6,642 reach Khost from NWA, ready to welcome more IDPs from other tribal agencies, including South Waziristan, Orakzai, Kurram and Khyber, have been living in awful conditions in and off camps for seven years. Over 160,000 displaced families from FATA have been registered in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan North Waziristan chapter chief Hafiz Gul Bahadur has already asked the local residents to move to areas close to Afghan border instead of proceeding to relief camps in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. When contacted, an official of the Afghan Government confirmed the arrival of 6,642 people, including 1,492 children from North Waziristan Agency in Khost province, where, he said, basic facilities have been provided to them.

Al Qaeda on June 13 released a new video in Urdu calling on Muslims in the Kashmir region to follow in the footsteps of their "brothers" in Iraq and Syria and launch a jihad (holy war)) against Indian authorities, reports India Today. The video titled 'The war should continue: A message for Kashmir's Muslims' contains statements by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) 'commander' Maulana Asim Umar. The video features montages of demonstrations in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), and the silhouette of an armed man juxtaposed against the famous Dal Lake. Umar urges Muslims in both India and Pakistan to join the global jihadi movement to re-establish an Islamic caliphate. "Muslims the world over have picked up arms and are marching in the field of jihad. Even those who were opposed to jihad now view democracy with despondency and have chosen the path of fighting," Umar says in the video. TTP leader also stressed that several jihadists from Afghanistan are on their way to Kashmir. "From the land of Afghanistan, a caravan is heading towards India. Not on the basis of someone's directive. Not on the basis of some governmental policy. But simply on the basis of abiding by God's command," he added. Umar also claimed that through jihad, Muslims will be able to take over Delhi and will host the 'flag of Islam'.

On June 13, Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate in Mumbai (Maharashtra) granted the Mumbai Police permission to collect the DNA samples of Dawood Ibrahim's aide Muzzakir Muddassar alias Munna Jhingada's family members, reports The Times of India. However, the court also said that the Police cannot use blood samples of Jhingada's family members as evidence in the case of deporting him from Thailand. Police said that the order will help them prove that Jhingada is Indian national and very much a criminal from Mumbai who fled away in 2000. Earlier, in 2012, the Thai authorities assured India to hand Jhingada but Pakistan authorities too had claimed his custody saying Jhingada was a Pakistani National. He was arrested by the Thai Police on charges of attempt to kill fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan in 2000. Jhingada, with associates Rashid Malbari and Gurpeet Singh Bullar, was arrested and he was sent to jail for eight years. Jhingada has completed his sentence in Thai jail but due to legal fight over his nationality he is still waiting in Thai jail.

The Washington has launched renewed efforts to pressurize Pakistan for a military operation in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) and now much depends on the Pakistani civilian and military top leadership to respond to the demand, which would have an extremely seriously fallout for Pakistan, The News reports on June 14. The recent move by US Congress to link military assistance to Pakistan in the next fiscal year with military operations in North Waziristan is seen as a frustrated effort by Washington to do what Pakistan has been successfully resisting for the last several years. Although, neither the Government nor the military has as yet shown any reaction on this move from the US, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has strongly condemned this and called it a US effort to bribe Pakistan to launch military operation in NWA. Reiterating his party’s stance on peace talks with militants, PTI Chief Imran Khan on June 12 said that an offensive in North Waziristan would unite militant forces against the Pakistani state, reports Dawn. "Conducting such a military operation when most of the groups in NWA want talks is suicidal," Imran said in a statement, adding that most groups in North Waziristan desire peace talks with the Government.

On June 13, a full meeting of the Constitutional Dialogue and Consensus Committee reached an understanding on the controversial issue of giving compulsory military training to Nepali citizens above 18 years of age, reports The Himalayan Times. After discussion on the last Constituent Assembly (CA)’s thematic committee report on National Interests Protection Committee, the dialogue committee unanimously agreed that it would be the duty of the citizens to “provide compulsory service as and when required by the nation”. This provision will be inserted in the section ‘Citizens’ Duty’ in the new constitution. But the agreement does not clearly state that the term “compulsory service to the nation” means the compulsory military training as demanded by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M). Committee chairman and UCPN-M leader Baburam Bhattarai said it was the middle path acceptable to all parties represented in the second CA. The dialogue committee has representatives from all the parties represented in the Constituent Assembly.

On June 14, the Ahmedabad (Gujarat) Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) filed the charge sheet against Maulana Abdul Qavi in connection with the 2003 Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Conspiracy case, implicating him under various sections of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) and Arms Act, among others, before a special POTA court, according to Indian Express. Qavi has also been booked for conspiring “war against the government”. Earlier on June 12, the home department gave its sanction to file the charge sheet against Kavi under POTA. The case dates back to 2003, but the judgment was pronounced in 2010. The POTA court has proclaimed Qavi as an offender, along with other proclaimed offenders, such as Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel, Mufti Sufiyan Ahmedmiya Patangiya and 20 others, who are still absconding. The chargesheet claims that Kavi was in touch with Sufiyan and another gangster, Rasool Party, who are also accused of masterminding the killing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Haren Pandya in 2003. According to DCB officials, Rasool had met Qavi in Hyderabad. There were a total of 44 accused who were tried by the POTA court. Out of them, 22 were convicted. The DCB claimed that a conspiracy was hatched by the accused to carry out terror activities in the state under the “leadership, guidance, inducement, inspiration and financial aid of a rich person, whose name has not been known, and by using the network of Dawood Ibrahim’s gang in Pakistan and the ISI, with a view to take revenge of the loss caused to Muslims during the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat. For this purpose, youth from Gujarat and Hyderabad were sent to Pakistan via Bangladesh and Nepal, it said. They were reportedly trained in handling weapons, making bombs, among others, in 2002. In 2003, the conspiracy was busted by the DCB.

On June 15, the Constituent Assembly (CA) started discussing on forms of governance, an issue the parties failed to agree on in the previous CA, reports The Himalayan Times. In the discussions the major parties, Nepali Congress (NC), Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M), put forth views according to their party lines, leaving little room for compromise. NC CA member Ramchandra Paudel said, the executive head (Prime Minister) must be accountable to the people’s elected representatives (Parliament) as this will not give any room for the executive head to become a dictator after election. “If we elect the executive head (directly-elected prime minister or directly-elected president) for five years, there is chance that he will become a dictator,” Paudel said, adding that such a person could not be made accountable to Parliament and the concept of inclusiveness would also weaken. He said a ceremonial head of state (President) would ensure checks and balances in governance. He said the Pradesh chief should also be elected by elected representatives. He, however, said some provisions could be added to the constitution to ensure that the parliamentary system gives stability.

Intelligence inputs and details provided by arrested Patna (Bihar) blasts (October 23, 2013) accused Hyder Ali revealed that there is an aggressive regrouping and resurgence of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) across the country, The Times of India reports on June 17. And the man behind this resurgence is Abdus Subhan Qureshi alias Tauqeer who is re-energizing and motivating the cadres. In fact, the emergence of the Hyder Ali-led module and blasts in Bodh Gaya(July 7, 2013) and Patna last year were all results of this effort. "Tauqeer is on the prowl. He is learnt to be roaming across the country and is suspected to have raised modules in Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and even Kerala. He has never fired a bullet or exploded a bomb but is the strongest ideological force the outfit has seen in a long time," said an officer from the security establishment. Authorities have been looking for Tauqueer since mid-2000 but have not come even close to arresting him despite most blasts since then having found some ideological connection to him.

On June 16, the government began the process of forming commissions for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Commission on Enforced Disappearances (CED) Act, reports The Himalayan Times. The commissions will settle cases of human rights violation meted out during the decade long Maoist insurgency. The Cabinet formed a committee headed by former chief justice Ombhakta Shrestha to recommend names for the two commissions. The two commissions will have five members each including a woman, as per the Act. “First, the committee will determine its process and make it public and then it will finalise the names. So, it is likely take 15 to 20 days to recommend names for the commissions,” Minister for Peace and Reconstruction Narahari Acharya said. In another move, the government formed a five-member commission headed by former chief judge of Appellate Court Keshav Mainali to help the government implement all agreements reached with different agitating groups. Other members of the commission include human rights activist Dipendra Jha, educationist Raj Kumar Rai and advocate Rita Mainali. One member will be deputed from the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction. “The government has reached 71 agreements with different groups after the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry was set up. The commission will look into all the agreements and recommend ways to implement them,” said Acharya.

Meanwhile, the repatriation of tribal refugees from Tripura didn't resume on July 17 as the displaced men and women refused to go back to Mizoram unless their demands were met, reports Tripurainfo. Over 36,000 Reang tribals are sheltered in seven camps in Northern Tripura for almost 17 years. "We want financial assistance of INR150,000 per family, political settlement of the ethnic problem and adequate security from paramilitary forces," refugee leader Ranjit Reang said. The Mizoram Government earlier announced they would make necessary arrangements to take back the tribal refugees. But no officials of the Mizoram Government came to the refugee camps in Tripura on July 17. The refugees, including women, began a sit-in demonstration at the Kanchanpur refugee camp on July 17 in support of their demands, which also included signing an agreement between the refugees, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Governments of Tripura and Mizoram. Only about 5,000 refugees have returned to their homes in the past three-and-a-half years.

The National Counter-Terrorism Authority (NACTA) Act was passed in March 2013 but not a single meeting of the authority’s high-powered Board of Governors (BoG), headed by the Prime Minister and comprising all the key Government players including spymasters, has been held as yet, The News reports on June 18. With terrorism haunting the country, NACTA direly needs a push from its board of Governors to take major counter-terrorism policy decisions besides ensuring close coordination of agencies and improving the capacity of law enforcing agencies to check the terror attacks. The implementation of the recently-approved National Internal Security Policy (NISP), which envisages multi-dimensional measures to effectively address the incapacity of the state to counter terrorism, is also dependent on the authority’s decisions and approvals. Even otherwise, legally speaking, the NACTA BoG is bound under the law to meet at least once in each quarter of a year — four times a year. Ironically, despite this legal position, the NACTA BoG never met before or during the present Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) regime, which has completed one year.

Be that as it may, we maintain a high level of professionalism and our endeavour is to gather evidence that can stand the scrutiny of even international courts,” an official said confirming that the NIA had figured in the recent CPI-Maoist documents.

The Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) has been approaching the breakaway Communist Party Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) for party unification, reports Republica on June 19. However, the later has dubbed the move as mere propaganda. After facing humiliating defeat in the second Constituent Assembly (CA) election in November 2013, scoring just 80-seat out of 575 CA seats and downsizing to third party from the first, UCPN-M chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda has been approaching the Mohan Baidya-led CPN-Maoist with a view for party unification. Though the breakaway faction had sought a six-point condition as the basic ground for party unification in response to the informal party unification proposal, UCPN-M leaders themselves admit that they have not discussed these conditions in any organs of the party. Hence, the CPN-Maoist doubts whether the UCPN-M is serious about party unification. “Though they are talking about party unification, it just looks like propaganda, as they have not done any homework with regards to our six-point condition,” said CPN-Maoist secretary Dev Gurung. In the six-point condition put forth by the CPN-Maoist, the UCPN-M has been asked to decline parliamentary system and to assume the political line, policy and programs of new people centric democracy. Meanwhile, UCPN-M leaders argue that though they are yet to discuss these conditions, they are committed to seek unification in near future. “It is true that we have not formally discussed the six-point condition put forth by the CPN-Maoist, and that we are about to form a forum for discussing all these ideological and political issues,” UCPN-M vice-chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha said.

According to eye witnesses, refugees arriving in Bannu are greeted by a plethora of problems ranging from lack of transport to shortage of food and medicine and rude attitude of law enforcing agencies. “Several thousand vehicles carrying displaced people could be seen crawling from Mir Ali to Bannu. The journey which normally takes one and half hour is taking 12 to 15 hours today owing to crowded roads and increased number of check-posts,” said Liaqat Ali, a local resident of Bannu.

On June 20, Border Security Force's (BSF’s) Special Director General (DG) BD Sharma stated that the Northeast insurgent groups including Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) and National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) have around 45 hideouts in Bangladesh, reports The Assam Tribune. He commented, “Our relation with BGB [Border Guards Bangladesh] is good and they are highly cooperative. Even, today (June 20) morning I spoke to DG of BGB, Major General Aziz Ahmed over phone. Despite this, as many as 45 militant camps of North East-based militant organisation still exist in Bangla soil". Sharma at Salbagan, BSF Tripura Frontier headquarters said the insurgents could not be fully wiped out from Bangladesh soil because deployment of BGB was thin compared to requirement. “They are now raising new forces and we hope that the situation would improve soon. Besides, the terrain and riverine border also come in the way of maintaining effective border vigil”, he pointed out. Of the total 45 militant camps, militants from Tripura have 21 hideouts, mostly belonging to two banned outfits – All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and NLFT. Also, after Indian border guards started using non–lethal weapons, the number of people killed along the border has come down from 100 to 12 in a year, said BD Sharma, adds The Sentinel. The BSF has also proposed setting up 64 “border haats” (markets) along the border to further improve relations between India and Bangladesh. Of the 60 border haats, 22 were proposed in Meghalaya, 32 in West Bengal, four in Tripura and two in Assam. Sharma added, out of about 4,000 kilometer border with Bangladesh, barbed wire fencing would be erected in 3,314 kilometer, of which 2,418 kilometer has already been fenced and works are in progress in 342 kilometer. “So, about 70 per cent of the border is now fenced”, he said. Sharma said that 3,061 km of the Indo-Bangla border would be illuminated by flood lighting to check smuggling and border crimes. Of this, 1732 km have already been illuminated. It is 57 per cent of the total works, he further said.

On June 20, National Investigation Agency (NIA) cautioned the respective Police of Delhi and Maharashtra about suspected terror attacks, reports Indian Today. NIA has written to Maharashtra Police and Delhi Police warning them to be vigilant and take ample precautions to prevent terror attacks in Delhi and Maharashtra cities, including Mumbai. According to the NIA letter, some Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists led by key operative Haider Ali alias Black Beauty had earlier surveyed various places in Maharashtra and Delhi to identify their possible targets. Delhi Police sources said that Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Swami Vivekanand Inter State Bus Terminus in Anand Vihar were among the spots where the IM terrorists did a reconnaissance in April, 2014. Meanwhile, sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi was also on terror radar. The Delhi Police has been on high alert after receiving the NIA letter. Meanwhile, NIA has found scientific evidence indicating former Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Liaqat Shah was allegedly framed in a terror case by Delhi Police’s Anti-Terror Squad, Hindustan Times reports on June 21. The Special Cell had claimed that an associate of Shah had stored the arms and ammunition in the guesthouse at his request. The NIA is now finalising its charge sheet in the case, which may clear Liaqat Shah. He was arrested on March 20, 2013 at Indo-Nepal border. He arrived there from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). “Investigators found that a person named Sabir Khan Pathan alias Munna allegedly planted arms and ammunition in the Jama Masjid area guesthouse. Pathan has been living in the Special Cell barracks for eight years and was allegedly working as an informer for the Cell. The NIA sleuths lifted DNA samples from the guesthouse room and, according to a lab report, they matched DNA samples from family members of Pathan, who is now untraceable,” said a home ministry official.

Out of more than 400 large United States (US) military drones that have crashed in major accidents around the world since 2001, Pakistan has accounted for six of them, The News quoting a year-long The Washington Post investigation reports on June 21. More than half of those accidents occurred in Afghanistan and Iraq. Almost a quarter happened in the US. That figure is almost equivalent to the number of major crashes incurred by the Air Force’s fleet of fighter jets and attack planes during the same period, even though the drones flew far fewer missions and hours, according to Air Force safety statistics. The military divided the major accidents into two categories of severity, based on the amount of damage inflicted to the aircraft or other property. (There are three other categories for more minor accidents.) According to the records, 194 drones fell into the first category - Class A accidents that destroyed the aircraft or caused, under current standards, at least USD 2 million in damage.

Yet another amendment to the US Defence appropriations bill was offered on June 20 asking the lawmakers to stop any and all financial assistance to Pakistan, reports The News. The amendment argued by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher states that Pakistan’s Government had undermined efforts to counter terrorism. “It is a farce to believe that our aid, sometimes deceptively labelled as ‘reimbursements,’ is buying Pakistan’s cooperation in hunting down terrorists,” the introduction to the amendment said. Defending the amendment, its supporter accused that Pakistan’s establishment sheltered Osama bin Laden, and continued to jail Dr Shakeel Afridi, who helped the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) locate bin Laden. They criticised weak human rights situation in the country as well, adding that US money was not buying the required cooperation. “Pakistan is not an ally, and any money we send them only strengthens their ability to act against us and against Afghanistan as we withdraw our military. We cannot buy friendship of a government whose strategic interests are not aligned with ours,” the statement issued by the office of Congressman Rohrabacher said.

In fact, the emergence of Hyder Ali-led module and blasts in Bodh Gaya and Patna were all results of this effort. Sources within the security establishment say there is information that various such modules have come up in East, Central and South India even as evidence of intermittent training sessions for new recruits and coming together of old cadres is being reported from various regions. "Tauqeer is on the prowl. He is learnt to be roaming across the country and is suspected to have raised modules in Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and even Kerala. He has never fired a bullet or exploded a bomb but is the strongest ideological force the outfit has seen in a long time," said an officer from the security establishment.

Over 100 ulema from various schools of thought on June 22 declared Operation Arab-e-Azb (sharp and cutting), the ongoing military operation against terrorists and militants in North Waziristan Agency, as Jihad (Holy war), reports Daily Times. The meeting of ulema, which was organised by the Sunni Ulema Board, in its decree (fatwa) referring to the verse No 33 of Surah-e-Almaidah of the holy Quran, which says: “Crushing of the attempts to disrupt peaceful atmosphere in a Muslim state is jihad.” The decree said the nation was bound to support the ongoing operation in North Waziristan Agency and the people opposing the operation were rebels as per Islamic Shariah. It added that the state had the right to deal rebels with iron hands as the militants had murdered hundreds of innocent people and targeted various schools, shrines, hospitals, and innocent people. Islam, it said, did not allow individual jihad.

Further, the Breakaway faction of Achik national Volunteer’s Council (ANVC-B), on June 24, blamed Chief Minister Mukul Sangma for the deteriorating law and order situation in Garo Hills and sought for the Centre’s intervention to deal with the situation, reports The Shillong Times. “If the situation in Garo Hills is deteriorating, blame it on Mukul Sangma who delayed the settlement process by not responding to the Central Government in time. And till date Mukul has not finalized camps for ANVC-B cadres in spite of the Centre’s reminder to the State to do so. Mukul has delayed everything intentionally to wipe out ANVC-B before the settlement which has led to rise of splinter groups,” the outfit said in a statement. According to ANVC-B, the outfit does not have any money to provide food, clothes and medicines to its cadres. “If there is no money, how will it be possible for us to buy weapons? We need food and medicines for our cadres, not guns and bullets. Government is all out to frame us in all cases,” the ANVC-B added.

The Shillong Times reports that even as the State Government is contemplating to declare certain pockets in militancy-infested Garo Hills as ‘disturbed area’, Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) PJP Hanaman feels that such a move is uncalled for at this juncture. Addressing pressmen on June 25, the DGP said that declaring Garo Hills as disturbed area would mean bringing the Army into the region “which is not desirable”. Hanaman, however, admitted that the State was short on forces. Hanaman said that the recent National Green Tribunal (NGT) ban on coal mining has also affected the militants in some way or the other. Expressing satisfaction at the performance of Meghalaya Police in tackling militancy, Hanaman said that it is quite possible that the outfits which are under peace settlement are selling their arms to other militant organizations for their survival. He said that the State based militants usually get arms and ammunition from Bangladesh, Myanmar and States like Nagaland. When asked about Police personnel with alleged links with militants, Hanaman said that there are “some bad apples in the force” and police have dismissed them besides keeping them out of circulation by booking them under the Meghalaya Prevention Detention Act (MPDA). On the recent kidnapping and rescue of a State Bank of India (SBI) branch manager, the DGP said that Police have so far identified three people who were involved in the incident but refused to divulge any further details about their links with militant outfits.

At least four passengers were killed and eight injured as twelve coaches of New Delhi-Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express derailed near Golden Ganj station in Chapra in East Champaran District on June 25, reports Zee News. Railway suspected "sabotage" by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) behind the derailment as there was a blast on the track. "Prima facie, it appears to be a case of sabotage. There was a blast on the track, which could have caused the derailment," Railway Board Chairman Arunendra Kumar told PTI. "Another goods train, 60 kms away from the station, also got derailed due to a blast. 18 wagons got derailed in the accident," Kumar said. The Maoists have given bandh (general shut down) call to protest security forces' "strong armed" action against "innocent people" in the area on suspicion of being Maoists’ sympathiser. Meanwhile, a live bomb fitted with a timer device has been found near tracks, which has given credence to reports of Maoists having a role in the incident.

Even as the Indian Railways suspected the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) sabotage behind the derailment of 12 coaches of New Delhi-Dibrugarh Rajdhani near the Golden Ganj Railway Station in Saran District of Bihar on June 25, the State Government ruled out any extremist link with the derailment, The Times of India reports on June 26. "Prima facie the incident appears to be a result of 'error' on the part of railways," Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said, questioning why a pilot engine was not run ahead of Rajdhani Express as per the standard practice. State Director General of Police (DG) PK Thakur said it was not a case of sabotage by the Maoists. "The track appeared defective and weakened," he said. The DG admitted the Maoist had given a call for bandh (shut down strike) on June 25 in protest against alleged Police excesses. "But had there been a blast, the investigating teams would have found traces of IED or other explosives. The Police did not even find signs of fishplate removal," he added.

The United States (US) on June 25 added Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) affiliates, including the JuD, its frontal organization, to its list of designated terror organisations and slapped sanctions against two LeT leaders, reports Hindustan Times. The State Department has amended LeT's designations to add the aliases: Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Al-Anfal Trust, Tehrik-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool and Tehrik-e-Tahafuz Qibla Awwal, an official statement said. Simultaneously, the Department of Treasury targeted the financial and leadership networks of LeT by designating Nazir Ahmad Chaudhry (Ahmad) and Muhammad Hussein Gill as specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs). Ahmad and Gill are being designated for acting for or on behalf of LeT. Treasury and the Department of State have designated 22 individuals and four entities associated with LeT. "In targeting LeT leadership, on Wednesday's action demonstrates our unrelenting commitment to combating terrorism by disrupting terrorist groups' financial activities," said the Under Secretary of Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence David S Cohen.

Unidentified militants fired on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane as it was landing at the Bacha Khan International Airport of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), in the night of June 25, killing a woman and injuring two others, including a crew member, reports The Express Tribune. PIA flight PK-756 with 178 passengers and crew members on board was travelling from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “Unknown gunmen fired a volley of bullets at the airplane when it was preparing to land at the airport,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Cantonment Faisal Kamran said. “The gunmen fired at the airplane from outside the airport vicinity,” he said, quashing speculation that the airport might have been attacked. The PIA official added that the plane was attacked while flying at low altitude near Landi Akhum Ahmad area. He added that the plane was damaged in the attack. The initial investigation to the attack revealed the involvement of banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Shahid group in the incident, The News reports on June 27. According to the contents of the report prepared by the Police authorities, foreign made M-16 gun was used by the TTP terrorists to fire on the PIA flight. The investigating team has found 24 spent shells of the foreign made gun from Mashu Khel and Suleman Khel areas of Peshawar during the post attack search in the adjoining areas. Another source said that the Tariq Geedar group of the TTP was behind the attack reports Dawn. The source said the group was based in Darra Adamkhel and was headed by one Khalfa. “We have some important leads,” claimed an official. He said that the roof of a school in Sulemankhel, an area near Peshawar, was used for targeting the Airbus when it was landing at the Bacha Khan International Airport.

India has stressed that it will not "endorse" treating the Afghan government on par with elements of the Taliban, even as it reiterated that terrorism and not ethnicity is the greatest threat to peace in an Afghanistan on the verge of a historic transition, Zee News reports on June 27. "Treating the Government of Afghanistan on par with elements of the erstwhile Taliban regime is something we will never endorse," Ambassador Bhagwant Singh Bishnoi, the acting Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, said at a Security Council debate on the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in New York. Bishnoi added that India believes the reconciliation process must remain "Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan-controlled" while respecting the "agreed red lines". He also noted that the entire Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states had recently endorsed the "Afghan-controlled" process of reconciliation. He said the May 23, 2014 terror attack on the Indian Consulate in Herat is a "grim reminder that terrorism, not ethnicity or tribal differences, is the greatest threat to peace and stability in Afghanistan and the chances of the Afghan people attaining a path of self-sustained economic growth and prosperity". "The whole-hearted support by the international community to developing a prosperous, independent and sovereign Afghanistan capable of defending itself is the only way to defeat this scourge," Bishnoi said.

The Sentinel reports on June 28 that the State Government has, through a notification, extended the tenure of the Garo Hills District Autonomous Council (GHADC) by six months to facilitate the peace pact with the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC). This was done to accommodate the demands of the ANVC to enhance the council strength from 30 to 45, besides devolution of powers to the existing council and to make grass–roots governance more plausible. A Government official stated that the Government–ANVC agreement had been formalized by the concerned Union Ministries and the Union Cabinet needed to endorse the agreements before pronouncing the formal pact, which will not happen soon due to activities of the Breakaway faction of ANVC (ANVC-B) on several opinions. ANVC ‘spokesman’ Arist Sangma stated that the ANVC leadership is now adopting a policy of ‘wait and watch’ after all the assurances made by Union and State officials.

Sri Lanka banned visas on arrival for Pakistanis after investigations showed that jihadist groups targeting India were using Sri Lanka as a transit point, reports The Times of India on June 29. Sri Lanka is also one of the few countries that extended such a facility to Pakistani nationals. A bomb blast in a Chennai train in May revealed new plots against India by Pakistan-based jihadist groups using Sri Lanka and Maldives as transit points. A multinational investigation including Malaysia zeroed in on a Lankan national, Shakir Hussain, who confessed that he had visited India over 20 times on reconnaissance trips. The investigation, sources said, also pointed to involvement by Pakistani officials at their mission in Colombo. Indian officials confirmed that Sri Lanka and Maldives have been red-flagged by Indian security establishment for some time. Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi, in his first conversations with Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, had raised this issue which he said was of particular sensitivity to India. On his return, Rajapaksa is believed to have launched an investigation. The results of the probe have contributed to the decision.

The Union Government started informal talks with insurgent groups in the northeast to find a lasting solution to the militancy in the region, reports The Times of India on June 30. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju stated, "I have full charge of the NE division and have been informally meeting representatives of some of these outfits. I have conveyed to them: 'See, here is your man in Delhi, and this is your best chance to come on board and shun violence'. I hope these groups, as they have indicated so far, are serious about bringing peace to the region and work together for the development of the long-neglected NE states. I have asked officials in my ministry to initiate formal dialogue. We have some differences with United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) and hopefully that will be sorted out in due course… The Government this time will ensure that the interlocutors who hold talks with militant groups have more mandate than just one-on-one discussions. This would mean that the interlocutors could have talks simultaneously with all stakeholders to reach a comprehensive solution. In case the negotiations fail, the government would clamp down on their front organizations and stymie their finances."
