The National Investigating Agency (NIA) on February 16 filed the final charge sheet in a special court in Kochi against 24 accused, including a Pakistan national, in the "Kashmir terror recruitment” case, relating to enrolment of several youths from Kerala for anti-national activities, reports Daily Excelsior. The case against the accused, including Pakistani national Wali Abdul Rahiman, was that they had conspired with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and recruited several youths from Kerala to carry out anti-national activities in Jammu and Kashmir. The youths, recruited in 2006, were given armed training in terrorist modules to wage war against India, the charge sheet said. Wali, the main link between the LeT and the Keralites, has been absconding while four youths recruited from northern districts of Kerala, died in encounters with security forces in 2008. So far 10 persons had been arrested in the case while the absconding included the first accused Abdul Jaleel from Kerala. The accused included four youths killed in encounters with the Security Force personnel in October 2008 and T. Nazir, who is now in jail in connection with the Bangalore bomb blasts case.

According to India Express, Security Forces (SFs) during October 2008 operations in Jammu and Kashmir found that four Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants killed in a series of encounters were from Kerala. Subsequently, they learnt that the group had a fifth member, who managed to escape. The revelation set the Police and later the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on a trail that showed how the LeT was recruiting youths from Kerala, training them in Kerala and in Hyderabad of Andhra Pradesh, and then using them for operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Three years on, the NIA has retraced much of the trail with information from two suspected LeT militants from Jammu and Kashmir. Unnamed except as A and B, they have disclosed the identity of the LeT leader who allegedly supervised the recruitment. A and B are mentioned as witnesses in the NIA charge sheet submitted recently in a Special Court in Kochi in Kerala. They were examined under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr. PC). According to the charge sheet, they have named Wali alias Rashid Abdullah, Baitullah Mujahideen of LeT training camp in Muzaffarabad of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), as having supervised the recruitments. A and B claim to have attended a jihadi (Holy War) training camp with Wali and the Kerala youths at Lolab forest in Kupwara District.

Times of India reports that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was granted the permission by a Central Beuro of Investigation (CBI) judge in Kochi in Kerala to conduct further probe into a case relating to chopping off of the palm of T J Joseph, a lecturer of Newman College in Thodupuzha following blasphemy allegations in 2010.

The Special NIA court, Panchkula, had allowed the agency to re-examine the samples, following which Swami Aseemanand, the arrested extremist leader who is the chief suspect in the case, had approached HC, which had stayed the re-examination of samples till September 1,2011 when the case would come up for further hearing. The stay order was passed by the HC on August 23 after hearing Aseemanand's petition, which said that the NIA was planning to do it only to create evidence against him.

Turning down the appeal made by the arrested extremist leader Swami Aseemanand who had sought directions to restrain National Investigation Agency (NIA) from re-examining samples gathered after bomb blasts in Samjhauta Express on February 18, 2007, the Punjab and Haryana High Court, on September 2, ruled that NIA's move cannot be termed as re-investigation, but is further investigation in the case, which is permissible under law, The Times of India reported. Special NIA court, Panchkula, where trial against Aseemanand is pending, had allowed the agency to examine the samples, but he had moved the HC against the trial court's decision. In his appeal before the HC, Aseemanand had pleaded that the NIA wanted to re-examine the sample just to create evidence against him. He also submitted that since the agency had already investigated the matter and chargesheet has been filed in the case, such examination amounted to re-investigation.

The National Investigation Agency concluded that the Mumbai serial blasts (July 13, 2011) was the handiwork of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), Deccan Chronicle reported. The NIA informed the Government about this in August, 2011 giving details regarding involvement of key IM operatives in the planning and execution of the blasts. The NIA had been involved in the blast investigations along with Mumbai crime branch and anti-terror squad. Sources said the agency has concluded that the conspiracy was hatched by the Bhatkal brothers, Riaz and Iqbal, along with their two key associates, Shahnawaz and Mohd Khalid. Bhatkal brothers, Riaz and Iqbal are now said to be in Pakistan. “Shahnawaz is said to be hiding in Sharjah while Khalid is in Dubai. We have technical evidence in our possession to suggest that the four hatched the blast conspiracy and were in touch with another group in Bangladesh. A close technical scrutiny has revealed a complex web of phone calls and e-mails between top IM operatives,’’ a top intelligence official said. Interestingly, NIA sources have informed the Centre that the IM operatives have a close association with the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and used one of their sleeper cells in Mumbai for logistical support.

Quoting Delhi Police, The Times of India reported that the explosives-laden car found at Ambala Cantonment railway station in Haryana on the night of October 12 was headed to the national capital for a terror strike. According to Delhi Police officials, the blue Indica car had five kilograms of RDX in two packets, two batteries, five detonators and two timer devices. Delhi Police said the explosives were meant for terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), which had plans to target the national capital. "We had inputs that a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) module active in Jammu and Kashmir was planning to strike in Delhi. Investigations were done and found that the explosives were meant for Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and to be used in Delhi," said Arun Kampani, Deputy Commissioner of Police (special cell). According to sources, the plot was orchestrated by the Pakistani intelligence agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and the whole operation was being monitored from Nepal. A call was traced from Nepal 10 days ago which suggested exchange of explosives. The Policemen are investigating if the recovery of explosives has any links to the September 7 blast at Delhi High Court, where too RDX was used. A team of National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the HC blast along with bomb disposal squads and forensic experts from Madhubani FSL have rushed to Ambala. Officials said the explosive was smuggled to Jammu and Kashmir through the border and a separate module was assigned to deliver it to Delhi. Police is looking for two suspects who drove the car to Ambala from Jammu. They have recovered two toll tax slips, of Shambhu Barrier and Ladowal in Punjab, from the car, and probably have CCTV footage of the two suspects from one of the toll booths.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is all set to expand its wings by opening three new offices and increasing the organisation strength from existing 400 to nearly 900, The Times of India reported. The Government has decided to create nearly 500 more posts raising the strength of the counter-terror agency to 900 besides opening offices in Lucknow, Kochi and Mumbai, officials said. The need for opening up of offices in the three cities was felt as Uttar Pradesh is being used by terrorists to infiltrate from Nepal. The State's porous border with Nepal is also being used for smuggling Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) into the country. Mumbai, being a commercial capital of the country, has been often made terror target while Kerala is being used by some terror groups as a recruitment ground for over ground workers who carried of reconnaissance and also indulged in hawala rackets. The NIA was set up in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also called, 26/11) following an act passed by the Parliament and is entrusted with cases related to terror.

The Template has been circulated to all states and Union Territories for getting relevant information from terrorists and terror suspects during their interrogation and probe. Besides usual source of terror funding through hawala (illegal money transfer), narcotics trade and printing/circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), the Template has taken into account `misuse' of 'zakat' (giving alms to poor and needy as prescribed by the Quran) to fund terror activities. It has factored in local issues like reports suggesting\alleging diversion of fund from various 'madrassa’ along border areas to different terror outfits," said a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) official.

It is for the first time that an Indian probe agency will name serving ISI officers in a charge sheet. Name of a retired Pakistani Army Major, Abdul Rehman Hashim, will also be there in the charge sheet. Others who will be charge sheeted include 26/11 attacks mastermind and LeT ‘commander’ Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, another LeT's top operative Sajid Majid and Headley's accomplice and Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana. While Headley and Rana - arrested by the FBI in Chicago in October 2009 - have been in US jail ever since they were caught there, Lakhvi - arrested by Pakistani authorities in connection with the 26/11 terror attack -- has been in Pakistani jail. The others, however, remain scot free in Pakistan. It was Hashim who had set up the ISI's 'Karachi Project' and trained a number of Indian youths for carrying out attacks in India. The project is meant to bleed India using locals through LeT's network. The charge sheet will also be the first Indian 'legal' document mentioning about the 'Karachi Project' and how it is being ran by network of Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists who are LeT's fronts in India. The 'Project' was set up for giving an impression of 'home-grown' terror in India.

According to the charge sheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) case Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed motivated the 26/11 attack squad, reports Hindustan Times. "Gunshot will feel like a pin prick, blood stains will be like rose petals, and angels will come down to take your souls," said Saeed while motivating the 10 member suicide squad for the attacks, states the charge sheet. According to the charge sheet, once the LeT leadership decided that it would be a suicide attack, Saeed himself motivated squad. The charge sheet also makes it clear that despite international pressure immediately after the 26/11 attacks, LeT was ready with more plans to attack India. A mail written by Hafiz Saeed's trusted aide Sajid Mir to David Coleman Headley in July, 2009 says: "There are some investment (attack) plans with me." "Just nine months after the Mumbai attacks, the LeT-ISI combine was ready with more plans. It shows the kind of adversary India is fighting against. The significance of the chargesheet is that it lays bare the conspiracy of Pakistan before and after the execution of the 26/11 attacks," said an unnamed official.
