India on February 12 talked tough, as the testimony of 26/11 (November 26, 2008) terror plotter David Coleman Headley before a court in Mumbai (Maharashtra) and revelations by Pakistan’s former President, Pervez Musharraf, in an interview exposed role of “state actors” of the neighbouring country in supporting cross-border terrorism, reports Deccan Herald. New Delhi said that Musharraf’s admission on involvement of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan in training the terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) spoke for itself and reinforced once again “the need for stopping support from state actors to terrorism” in the region.New Delhi also frowned upon the meeting between Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, and Kashmiri separatist leaders, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Syed Ali Shah Geelani, here. Official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, Vikas Swarup, reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and the issue could be only discussed between the two countries bilaterally, without role of any “third party”.

David Coleman Headley, the accused turned approver in the 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai attacks case, on March 24 told an Anti-Terrorism court in Mumbai that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) had instructed him to target the then Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, reports Zee News. He informed the court that he had visited the Sena Bhawan in Mumbai twice in 2011 as part of the attempt to kill Thackeray. “I visited Sena Bhavan twice on the instructions of my supervisor Sajid Mir (of LeT), and the target was to kill the Shiv Sena chief,” Headley said. Headley also revealed that the LeT had tried to kill Thackeray even before the 26/11 attacks.“There was an attempt (to kill Bal Thackeray) but he was unharmed. The assailant was arrested but fled from custody later on,” he said during a cross examination in the court. Headley also spilled the beans on how once US financed his trip to Pakistan and also claimed that he had "donated" about INR 70,00,000 to LeT till 2006, two years before the Mumbai attacks.He, however, contradicted reports that he had received money from LeT. "I never received money from LeT... This is complete nonsense. I gave funds to LeT myself. I had donated more than 60 to 70 lakh Pakistani Rupees to LeT throughout the period I was associated with them. My last donation was in 2006," Headley told the court. He also said that after his arrest in 1998, the Drug Enforcement Authority (DEA) of the US had financed his trip.Also, the terrorist, who faced conviction twice in 1988 and 1998 for alleged drug smuggling before the Mumbai siege, had indulged in criminal activities and violated his plea bargain agreements with the US government, the court was told. Headley, who is serving a 35-year jail term in the US, also told the court that Tahawwur Rana, his associate and a Pakistani native who operated an immigration business in Chicago, was aware that he was an operative of LeT. Headley had also disclosed that Rana had once come to Mumbai just prior to the 26/11 strikes, and that the latter continued his association with him till Headley's arrest.IBNLive adds that Headley hated India and Indians since childhood. Headley said the reason behind his hatred was his school was bombed in 1971. Headley did his schooling in Karachi. Headley revealed that his father was aware of his links with LeT and that former Pakistani prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani visited his residence after his father's death.

Terror accused David Headley in a deposition to a Mumbai cour ton March 25 said that Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Yousaf Raza Gilani visited his home a few weeks after 26/11 to condole the death of his father, reports Times of India. Headley said his father, a former director general with Pakistan Radio, knew about his links with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). "My father was aware of my association with LeT and he was not happy about it," he added. He also said that attempts were made to trade Israeli hostages in Mumbai in return for release of Ajmal Kasab, the Pakistani terrorist nabbed alive in the 26/11 strike. Headley said he had also suggested to his handlers in terror troup LeT to "honour" the nine other terrorists slain during 26/11 by the Indian security personnel with 'Nishan-e-Haider', Pakistan's highest gallantry award.

Maharashtra Government has challenged the discharge of nine accused in Malegaon 2006 bomb blast case before the Bombay high court, Hindustan Times reports on June 17. Public prosecutor Sandip Shinde on June 17 informed the division bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Amjad Sayed that the government had filed an appeal challenging the discharge of the accused. On April 25, 2016 a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court discharged nine arrested by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in connection with the Malegaon blasts, observing that “they became scapegoats at the hands of the ATS.”The accused were Noorul Huda Samsodhoha, Shabbir Masiullah, Raees Ahmad Mansuri, Dr. Farogh Magdumi, Shaikh Mohdmad Ali, Asif Khan, Mohammad Zahid Abdul Majid, Abrar Ahmad and Dr Salman Aimi. Masiullah died long before the discharge order was passed. The ATS had alleged that the accused were members of the banned organisation Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the conspiracy to carry out the blasts was ‘to ensure an explosion in such a manner, and on such an occasion, which would infuriate the Muslim community to commit communal riots and disturb the public order.’

Twelve people including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal were on July 28 convicted by the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Courtin the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case, reports News18. While holding them guilty, the MCOCA court said the larger conspiracy behind the case was to instill fear as well as attack the then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Vishva Hindu Parishad leader Pravin Togadia to avenge the Godhra riots. Apart from 12 convicted, 8 have been acquitted, one is absconding and one has turned an approver. The court also dropped MCOCA charges in the case, in which 22 people were arrested.The case pertains to the May 8, 2006 operation by Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) in which three terror suspects travelling in a car were nabbed on the Chandwad-Manmad highway near Aurangabad. The ATS had recovered 30 kilogram of RDX, 10 AK-47 army assault rifles, 3,200 rounds of ammunition and other things, which were reportedly intended for carrying out terror strikes in the country. The car, allegedly driven by Jundal, managed to give police the slip. Jundal, drove to Malegaon and a few days later he escaped to Bangladesh from where he fled to Pakistan. After Abu Jundal was arrested and deported to India from Saudi Arabia in 2012, he informed the ATS about another hideout from where they recovered 13 kg RDX, 1200 cartridges, 50 hand grenades, 22 magazine rounds. The trial, which had resumed in 2013 after Abu Jundal's arrest, had concluded in March 2016.

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in its recently submitted chargesheet against four suspected IS (Islamic State) operatives arrested from Parbhani has claimed that the accused had conducted reconnaissance of the ATS unit and Police (rural) headquarters in Aurangabad to blow up the former, Asian Age reports on October 24. Their target list also included Police officers, especially a former ATS Superintendent of Police who was involved in the Police encounter of an Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative in Maharashtra.Between July and August this year (2016), based on intelligence inputs, the ATS had neutralised a Parbhani-based IS module comprising local youths who were allegedly radicalised and incited to conduct violent acts by their Syria-based handler Farook, who is suspected to be an Indian and a former IM operative. The ATS in its chargesheet filed in a local court in Nanded said their investigation revealed that the IS handlers had asked the arrested accused to stay here and work ian case visiting Iraq or Syria was difficult for them. Thereafter, Farook had instructed the four youths to avenge the death of an IM member in an alleged Police encounter by targeting officers of the ATS unit and police (rural) headquarters in Aurangabad.

The Mumbai crime branch officials along with Merchant left for the city by a morning flight and landed at the Mumbai’s domestic terminal via an Indigo flight around 11.25am. Sources said that Rauf will be produced in a local court on November 10 (today) and he will be taken into Police custody for interrogation. “A four-member team of crime branch had left for West Bengal couple of days back after the Bangladeshi government’s communication on deporting Merchant to India. There was close coordination between the Interpol of both the countries and secrecy was maintained on date of exchange citing the sensitivity of the matter,” said a Police officer, requesting anonymity.He completed his jail term few days ago following which Bangladesh government decided to hand him over to India citing his criminal conviction and diplomatic communication between the two countries. Merchant has at least 10 cases registered against him in Mumbai and Mumbra (Amrut Nagar being his last area of residence there). These include murder, arms act, attempt to murder and assault. His parents stayed in south Mumbai and the family ran a transport business.
