On May 10, Sri Lanka’s Army Commander Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake stated that threat of more Islamist militant attacks had been contained and the security services had dismantled most of the network linked to the Easter Sunday bombings. He stated that ‘Up to now the investigations do not go beyond many areas, so we don’t have to worry about the situation; it is controllable, it is contained. ’He also added that the investigators had established that the plotters had links to Islamic State, but said the authorities were still trying to establish how deep those contacts were. Sri Lankan authorities have said the bombings were believed to have been carried out by two little-known domestic Islamist groups, the National Tawheed Jamaath (NTJ) and Jamathei Millathu Ibrahim (JMI). Islamic State has claimed responsibility. The Commander stated that ‘Definitely there is an Islamic State (IS) link. That doesn’t mean it was a direct IS hit. But we are trying to establish how deep it is in order to plan our (military) operations’. Investigators from eight countries, including the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Interpol, are helping Sri Lanka with the investigation. According to him, India, China, United States, Israel, Australia and the United Arab Emirates were looking to provide high grade military technology, including communication and surveillance equipment, to deal with future threats. He further stated that Senanayake said the bombers had mostly used local explosives but may have also sourced some from southern India, likely Tamil Nadu.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two persons, identified as Hassan Ali (28), and Harish Mohamed (32) for allegedly conspiring to form a terror group in the State from Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu on July 14, reports Hindustan Times. The duo was arrested a day after a 14-member team of NIA officials conducted raids on July 13 at four locations in Chennai and Nagapattinam and busted a gang which allegedly conspired, collected funds and made preparations to carry out terrorist attacks in India with the intention of establishing Islamic rule in the country. The NIA said it recovered nine mobiles, 15 SIM cards, seven memory cards, three laptops, five hard discs, six pen drives, two tablets and three CDs/DVDs besides documents including magazines, banners, notices, posters and books during the raids on July 13. NIA, in its statement, said that the arrests were made on the basis of “incriminating facts revealed during the searches and subsequent investigation”. It added that Ali and Mohamed were produced in a special NIA court in Chennai and remanded in the agency’s custody until July 24. The Times of India adds that according to NIA sources, a new Tamil Nadu based terror outfit, ‘Ansarulla’ was “planning to strike at democratic institutions with terror acts in order to establish the rule of Sharia in the country”. NIA had on July 9 registered a case against three identified accused and others based on NIA’s information regarding the group’s plans to strike terror in the country, for which they had collected funds and made preparations. “The group’s intention was to strike at the democratic institutions of India with the intention of establishing supremacy of Sharia law,” an NIA officer said. The NIA also said that the accused and others “while being within and beyond India, had conspired and conducted consequent preparations to wage war against the Government of India by forming the terrorist gang Ansarulla”. As for the linkages of the Ansarulla to a known jihadi outfit like the Islamic State (IS), an officer said the same shall be established after forensically examining the documents and computer resources recovered during the searches.

The Union Home Ministry told a Tribunal constituted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) that the Students Islamic Movements of India (SIMI) was filing applications under the Right to Information Act (RTI) to help its members under trial in various courts, reports The Hindu on August 29. To impose the recent ban, the Tribunal examined at least 34 cases registered against the members of SIMI since January 2014 and noted that activists of SIMI continue to have “links with number of other terrorist organizations Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Islamic State (IS), Indian Mujahideen (IM) etc.” The Tamil Nadu Police deposed that “SIMI activists/cadres are regrouping themselves under the banner of Wahadat-e-Islaami Hind (WeIH) to expand their militant outreach among Muslim youth under the guise of spreading Islamic ideology. SIMI activists under the guise of WeIH continue to hold meetings, classes, symposium, seminars etc. to spread their anti-national ideology.” The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Delhi Police told the Tribunal that terror outfit Indian Mujahideen’s chief Riyaz Bhatkal “was making his efforts and using the cadres of SIMI for furthering the unlawful activities of IM.”

The Coimbatore police have said that there are no Lashkar-e-Tayiba (LeT) terrorists present in Tamil Nadu.
