The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) advisory asked the authorities in these States to take all precautionary measures. “The advisory has been sent after the intelligence agencies recorded conversations between militants and their handlers across the border during recent encounters,” senior officials of the Ministry said.

According to The Hindu, the Mumbai Police investigators said that they might have identified Indian Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative who played a key role in guiding the operations of the team that attacked Mumbai in November 26, 2008. Based on information provided by India’s intelligence services, as well as interrogation with arrested jihadis, Police believe the Indian national in the LeT’s control room could be Syed Zabiuddin Syed Zakiuddin Ansari, a LeT-linked Maharashtra resident, who has been a fugitive since 2005. The unidentified Indian operative was one of several LeT militants who used Voice-Over-Internet Protocol (VOIP) links to provide orders to the assault team. Meanwhile, Indian intelligence agencies said that Ansari, operating out of terrorist camps in Karachi in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), is a key figure in the jihadi group’s plan to realise the threat he ordered the assault team to deliver. Times of India adds that Mohammad Amjad Khwaja, a militant of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) from Hyderabad has told his interrogators that Abu Jindal was the alias of Syed Zabiuddin Ansari, a LeT operative from Beed in Maharashtra. The name Abu Jindal was earlier revealed by lone arrested militant Kashab during investigation. Ansari alias Abu Jindal, along with several other fugitive jihadis, has been sheltered in Pakistan by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)-LeT combine as part of their Karachi project to target India by using its own nationals. Khwaja pointed to Ansari after Police played recordings of the conversation between Jindal and the two militants who had attacked Chabad House in Mumbai.

The Union Government said the scene of Pune’s bomb blast was very close to Osho Ashram which had been surveyed by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley, which the Maharashtra Government had been alerted about this in the month of October, 2009. Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said it was worth noting that the German Bakery, the site of the blast, was about 200 yards away from the ashram, which was one of the sites surveyed by Headley. The Lashkar operative visited Mumbai and other parts of the country ahead of the November 26, 2008 terror attack. Pillai said the Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) had alerted the Maharashtra Police about the survey done by Headley.

The Union Government did not rule out the hand of a foreign force in the Pune bomb blast. Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai on February 15 said that the Government was waiting for the investigation report which was in its initial stages. He said that terrorist activities against India were planned in Pakistan but he would not jump the gun in this attack till there was some critical evidence. The Union Government believes that local terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) could have been instigated by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) or Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) in Karachi as some arrested operatives had said they were shown videos made by David C Headley -- an American terror suspect who is wanted by India in the 26/11 terror attacks case and is currently under US custody -- including clips of the Osho Ashram in Pune. Pillai also added that it was a part of the notorious ‘Karachi Project’ which was aimed at attacking India.

The Union Government on March 10 admitted that shortage of manpower have made it difficult to safeguard "all public places" in the country, reports Times of India. Stating that suspected main targets in Pune were put under Police protection, Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Maken said, "However, due to obvious limitations of manpower, it was not possible to bring all public places under security cover.” Although the shortage of manpower is a country-wide phenomenon, Maharashtra, which witnessed the latest terror attack despite having intelligence alert, presented a dismal picture with the highest number of Police vacancies (49,252) in the country, the report added. There is an existing vacancy of over 267000 of Police personnel across the country.

As part of the measures to boost coastal security after the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), a new regional headquarters of Coast Guard will be set up at Kolkata (West Bengal) soon, reports Times of India. The fifth such regional headquarters, after the ones in Gandhinagar (Gujarat), Mumbai (Maharashtra), Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Port Blair (Andaman and Nicobar Islands), will ensure effective patrolling of the country's east coast, said Coast Guard director-general Vice-Admiral Anil Chopra on May 6. "The proposal is under the consideration of the government,'' he said, adding that his force was also in the process of setting up additional stations all along the 7,500-kilometre long coastline.

Pakistan born American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley confirming what the lone surviving LeT militant Ajmal Kasab confessed in Mumbai, had told National Investigation Agency (NIA) interrogators in Chicago in June that all the 10 attackers of 26/11 had got intensive training from Pakistan Navy frogmen, reports Times of India. Kasab had confessed that the 10 terrorists, including himself, who attacked Mumbai received training in swimming and underwater diving from Pakistan Navy frogmen. A frogman is someone who is trained to dive, swim and combat. "The role of frogmen was confirmed by Headley when the Indian investigators interrogated him in the US last month," an unnamed senior official said. Referring to Headley's interrogation report, Union Home Secretary G.K Pillai had recently said that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was "literally controlling and coordinating the (Mumbai) attack from beginning to end".

In the wake of India's assertion that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was involved in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the US administration has said that it was investigating the matter to find out whether Pakistan's ISI played a role in the 26/11 terror strikes, reports Indian Express. "We are very much engaged in this question," a senior Administration official told PTI, when asked about the statements made by Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai and National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon that ISI had played a role in planning and execution of the Mumbai terror attacks. The official, who requested anonymity, said that the matter was under investigation and he would not like to comment till the probe was over. The revelation about ISI role in 26/11 had not only come from the interrogation of Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Headley, but also through India's own investigation which had been shared with the US officials. Pakistan, for its part, has strongly denied that ISI had any role.

The Hindu reports that Rakesh Maria, chief of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) told journalists in Mumbai on September 9 that Himayat Baig, the alleged mastermind of the German Bakery blast case (February 13, 2010) in Pune, arrested by the ATS, received one-to-one training in bomb-making in Colombo in Sri Lanka in 2008 from Fayyaz Qazi, an absconding Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative. Maria said, the Sri Lankan city was chosen only as a meeting point and there was no other significance to it. Ruling out the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) or any other connection, he said, "There seems to be only two reasons for choosing Colombo: the access to the country is easy as there is visa-on-arrival facility." Maria also said that Baig earlier received training in Bhatkal in Karnataka as well in 2007. He was trained in the methods of indoctrinating youth and the techniques to deal with Police interrogation. His primary job was to recruit and send youth for training to Pakistan.
