Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) has submitted a list of 1,626 Bangladeshi criminals hiding in India to the Border Security Force (BSF) during a three-day deputy director general level meeting in Bogra on January 21. Earlier at a BDR-BSF director-general level meeting, India had given Bangladesh a list of 1000 Indian criminals hiding in that country. At a post-meeting joint press conference, both sides said they had reached consensus on all the issues on the agenda regarding border problems and interests of both nations during the meeting. The BDR Deputy Director General Brig Gen MA Bari led the 12-member Bangladesh team in the meeting while the 18-member Indian delegation was led by Inspector General of BSF North Bengal Frontier R. A.

Security around former Deputy Prime Minister L. K. Advani and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was reviewed on January 29 following intelligence inputs that "Global Terrorist" Dawood Ibrahim has been asked by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence to assassinate them, Rediff reported. The inputs to central agencies have come from various sources indicating that Dawood had been approached by the ISI to carry out the plot, sources said. The intelligence inputs suggested that Dawood, who has been designated by the US as a global terrorist having links with al Qaeda, had been roped in after several sleeper cells of various terror groups failed to execute the plan.

Times of India reports that to tackle the problem of high quality fake Indian currency notes (FICN) that are flooding the banking system of the country from across the border, the government is considering a proposal of indigenizing the manufacture of paper, ink and machinery — all imported right now — for use in the printing of currency notes. A recommendation to this effect was made at a high-level meeting participated by the intelligence agencies and senior police officials from several States. A senior intelligence official said, "India is facing one of the worst crisis since Independence where the enemy country is using state infrastructure to demolish people's confidence in the economy." Quoting an intelligence source, the report said that two containers of FICN were brought into the country in 2007 through Mumbai and Chennai ports and were eventually taken to Hyderabad. The Hyderabad police seized a consignment of INR 25 million of FICN and interrogation of the accused revealed that more than INR 2000 million of fake currency notes were being printed and lying in Dubai for being smuggled into the country. The report further said that Pakistan's external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), has been using members of jihadi groups in Dubai, Bangladesh and Karachi to activate dormant sleeper cells in India to smuggle and circulate fake currency.

The Pakistani external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is making serious attempts to revive Sikh militancy in India by coordinating and establishing linkages among various terrorist outfits with the Sikh extremist leaders, reports Sify.com quoting intelligence sources. The ISI activities to this extent have been planned from countries like the US, Canada, Germany, UK, France, Norway and Belgium, besides Pakistan in the absence of ground support in India. The various terror groups have established nexus among themselves in terms of financial and logistical support, sharing of information and tactical planning. An intelligence input indicated that representatives of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), International Sikh Youth Federation/Rhode (ISYF) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) met in Berlin in June 2007 and decided that financial support would be extended to the LeT and logistical support to the BKI to carry out terrorist actions in India. Another input indicated that Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) had got in touch with a UK-based organisation, Parliamentarians for National Self-Determination (PNSD) for modelling their ‘position paper’ on the pattern of the ‘Sikh Position Paper’.

Times of India quoting intelligence agencies reports that underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s ‘D-Company’ in Pakistan is now officially a part of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)’s terror network. The merger has been described as a part of the plan by the Pakistani external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), to further increase its anti-India campaign. A senior Indian intelligence official confirming the merger said, "The underworld gang and the Lashkar jihadis have been knocked into a single entity and this has serious implications for India's internal security."

Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, prime accused in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai, is currently sporting a French beard after having undergone plastic surgery to evade detection, according to Pioneer. "But after months of investigation has found that the don travels by the name of Shaikh Abdul Rehman on a passport issued from a tiny western African nation - the Republic of Mali, a former French colony," said a CNN-IBN report. The gangster has reportedly 29 passports from several countries including, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Azerbaijan and Mauritius among others. The Interpol red corner notice lists 11 of his Indian passports, but he apparently does not use them anymore. His new passport was made so that he could travel easily in African countries and his business in narcotics could spread in Africa and Europe. His gang has now developed an intricate "Mandrax supply grid" in Africa. They land the drug in South Africa, a major hotspot for international trafficking. Every year for the past 10 years, the biggest Mandrax seizures were reported from South Africa. In 2007 alone, 19 million Mandrax tablets were seized there. From South Africa, Dawood's Mandrax is reportedly sent across Africa to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Morocco. Dawood was declared an international terrorist by the US with an Interpol red corner notice against him. Dawood's passport number is A 1332945 and it was issued to him on April 6, 2005. The passport was used in such a clandestine manner that even the Interpol is not aware of its existence. He also uses a Pakistani passport - H123259 - issued in Rawalpindi, Pakistan in July 2001.

The involvement of Pakistan-based outfits has been observed in most of the terrorist attacks in India as groups from across the border continue to sponsor terrorist and subversive activities in the country, the Union Home Ministry said in its Annual Report for 2007-08, PTI reported. "The hand of Pakistan-based terrorist organisations - LeT and JeM - and, increasingly of the Bangladesh-based HuJI, known to have close links with ISI, has been observed in most of these cases," the 167-page report said. The incidents showed these groups have been using sleeper cells in the country to carry out such activities, and have also been using the territory of other neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh and Nepal, it said. The report said that as part of its counter measures, the Government has banned 32 groups as terrorist organisations under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. It also said the Centre has adopted a multi-pronged approach and strategy for countering the activities of the Pakistan’s ISI and PoK-based terrorist groups. "This includes intensive patrolling and surveillance on the borders, including border fencing, floodlighting and strengthening coastal security arrangements to check infiltration," it said. Deployment of Central para-military forces to aid the State police forces in areas prone to terrorist violence and heightened vigil and security arrangements in and around vital installations are among other counter-measures being taken by the security establishment. The report said regular sharing of intelligence with the State Governments and among various agencies was carried out besides strengthening of arrangements and mechanism for intelligence gathering, particularly at the cutting edge level.

India was among the countries worst affected by terrorism with militant attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and in the Northeast, attacks by Naxalites and attacks elsewhere in the country taking a toll of more than 2,300 lives in 2007, the US State Department said, according to PTI. The State Department, in its annual report on terrorism, said terrorist activities along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir are on the decline but Pakistan-based militant outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in the Valley. "Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba and other Kashmir-focused groups continued regional attack planning. In 2007, Kashmir-focused groups continued to support attacks in Afghanistan, and operatives trained by the groups continued to feature in Al-Qaeda transnational attack planning," it said. The report said Indian Government’s counter terrorism efforts remained hampered by outdated and overburdened law enforcement and legal systems. "The Indian court system was slow, laborious, and prone to corruption. Terrorism trials can take years to complete. Many of India’s local police forces were poorly staffed, lacked training, and were ill-equipped to combat terrorism effectively," the report said. Noting about the attack on Samjhauta Express in February 2007, the report said it was carried out by extremists who tried to incite anger among the Hindus and Muslims. "These attacks, which killed and injured both Muslims and Hindus, were probably conducted by extremists hoping to incite anger between the Hindu and Muslim communities. "Indian officials claim that the perpetrators of these attacks have links to groups based in Pakistan and Bangladesh, particularly Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami, among others," the report said. The report also took note of the US-India Joint Working Group on Terrorism (CTJWG) which has so far met nine times since its formation in 2000. India participated in CTJWGS with 15 other countries, and in multilateral CTJWGS with the EU and with the Bay of Bengal initiative for multi-sectoral technical and economic cooperation, an organisation that promotes economic cooperation among Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal.

Large quantities of explosives and other war material meant for Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are being seized in Tamil Nadu, indicating the outfit’s tactic to wage a long war, according to IANS. Security agencies from the Central and Tamil Nadu Governments are regularly confiscating ammunition and dual use goods that officials say are destined for the LTTE. Since the start of 2007 until now, Indian authorities have seized unusually large volumes of ball bearings that are used as shrapnel, aluminium bars, both ordinary and electronic detonators, boat building equipment, walkie-talkies, batteries and petroleum products. Also found hidden or abandoned have been chemicals, including sulphuric acid, high-speed outboard engines for boats, cycle spares, tyres for cycles and motorcycles, power generators, and surgical equipment including medicines. Some of the seizures run into tonnes and detonators in thousands. The quantity of chemicals totals hundreds of litres. A vast majority of the findings have been reported from the coastal district of Ramnad, which overlooks Mannar district in north-western Sri Lanka. Arrests of couriers have been few in relation to the materials seized. Some of the seized goods were found buried or in safe houses. Others were simply abandoned when the Police came too close to catching the messengers. Both Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils have been involved in the incidents.

Daily News and Analysis quoting Intelligence Bureau (IB) sources reports that the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) is recruiting children for its sleeper and information cells in West Bengal. This development has reportedly as a concern area for the State Police as the outfit is known to have a substantially bigger network in the state, especially in Indo-Bangladesh border districts of in Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas. An unidentified IB official said, "Huji is mainly targeting school drop-outs with extremely poor financial background and wooing them with money." The child recruits’ assignments include passing on information on police deployment in their respective areas of operation. "These children are also being used as messengers between HuJI-B linkmen," he added.

Terrorist groups backed by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) could use chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological weapons against India initiating a form of "super terrorism", warns a Union Home Ministry report, PTI reported. With the ISI spreading its tentacles in the country from Jammu and Kashmir to the south, the report spoke of active terrorist modules mushrooming in Bihar, Assam and West Bengal where the sleeper cells have been assigned with specific targets. In its section on terrorist groups and weapons of mass destruction, the report said "super terrorism in this perspective can be defined as projected future use of chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons by terrorist groups." The report said Indo-Nepal border in Bihar is being used for smuggling of arms, explosives, fake currency into the country, while the ISI was focusing on Uttar Pradesh to fund seminaries and recruit youngsters for subversive activities. South India too is an important part of the overall ISI game-plan since it is being targeted to recruit unemployed youths, the report stated. The report also mentions that the ISI is attempting to revive militancy in Punjab and form new anti-India groups in the State. While Maharashtra has been a victim of underworld gangs which have strong links with ISI, the report mentions that the ISI was also trying to liaison with the underworld in Gujarat and are using the coastal line for transporting arms and drug running operations. Terrorists may use aircraft, buses or other means which are commonly available to cause heavy casualties without having to go through the "rigorous" process of acquisition of technological capabilities as envisaged for the use of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons, it warns. It also says technology oriented terrorists camps could use explosive laden unarmed aerial vehicles at selected high value targets.

Times of India quoting an intelligence report submitted to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that the left-wing extremists are spreading their presence to 22 states of the country. The extremists are approaching terrorist outfits like the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) for arms procurement. The report further said that the extremists are aiming at liberating 35 per cent of country's territory by the end of 2009. Thirty-nine left-wing extremists groups are operating in the country with underground sympathisers and armed cadre active in 15 states while overground supporters exist in seven states, the report said.

With a view to foil any attempt by terrorists to sneak into the mainland through the sea, the Government has increased surveillance and patrolling of the country's 7,516-km-long coastline spread across nine States and four Union Territories, reports The Hindustan Times. The renewed efforts to tighten security and surveillance in shallow areas close to the coast have been made to counter illegal cross-border activities and criminal acts, including infiltration by terrorists and smuggling of arms and explosives, Home Ministry officials said. Intelligence agencies have also cautioned the government that terror groups were trying to use gaps in India's coastline that connect the country to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Maldives, all of which have seen rising terrorist activities, officials said. They also said there are intelligence inputs of Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) trying to set up its bases in uninhabited islands located in high seas around the country. The measures have been taken up as part of the government's Coastal Security Scheme launched about three years ago through which it decided to set up 73 coastal police stations, 97 police check posts, 58 outposts and 30 barracks. Under the scheme, which is being implemented in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal besides Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the coastal police stations are being equipped with 204 boats, 149 jeeps and 312 motorcycles. Steps are being taken to strengthen joint patrolling off the coast in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Orissa, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh to prevent any attempt by terrorists to smuggle arms and explosives as most of these states have suffered terror strikes in the recent past.

The US intelligence agencies had warned India "twice" about a potential maritime attack on Mumbai at least a month before the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, according to Indian Express. "The United States warned the Indian Government about a potential maritime attack against Mumbai at least a month before last week's massacre in the country's financial capital," the CNN quoted a US counter-terrorism official as saying. The American network quoted the official as saying that the warning was issued not once but "twice". A second Government source told ABCnews.com that specific locations, including the Taj Hotel, were listed in the US warning. "US intelligence indicated that a group might enter the country by water and launch an attack on Mumbai, said the official, who refused to be identified due to the ongoing investigation into the attacks and the sensitivity of the information," the CNN mentioned. Indian intelligence officials were quoted by ABCnews.com as saying that on November 18 they intercepted a satellite phone call to a number in Pakistan known to be used by a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) leader. The Indian intercept also revealed a possible "sea-borne attack", it said, citing officials.

The weapons and grenades used by the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26 were same as the ones used in the December 2001 Parliament attack in New Delhi, claimed investigators, Indian Express reported on December 3. Investigators said that most of the grenades have their source in Pakistan and some were from the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) in Wah city in the north of Pakistan’s Punjab province. This place was reportedly also the source of grenades and explosives used in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, the 2001 Parliament attack and attack on India embassy in Kabul in 2008. One of the grenades recovered from Mumbai, bears the name ‘EN ARGES’ in bold letters, followed by ‘Spl HG 64’ and the serial number 7-93-003. The Arges brand name belongs to Rheinmetall Waffe Munition, an Austrian company, and the grenades are manufactured by POF under license for use by the Pakistan Army. Similar grenades were recovered from terrorists involved in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts, the 2001 Parliament attack and on the three militants shot dead while trying to attack the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh headquarters in Nagpur in June 2006. The automatic pistols are also manufactured in Pakistan, with one of them bearing, in bold letters, the name "Diamond" followed by the manufacturer’s name, "Nedi Frontier Arms Co." Below it are engravings which read "Peshawar Cal 30" and "7341 NFAC." The AK-47 assault rifles used by the terrorists in Mumbai were manufactured in Russia. One rifle recovered has the trademark symbol of a triangle with an arrow inside it, representing the Izhevsk factory in Izhevsk city, capital of the Udmurt Republic in western Russia, where Mikhail Kalashnikov designed the rifle.

Investigations into the Mumbai terrorist attacks have revealed that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives based in Bangladesh were involved in organising the attacks, CNN-IBN reported. Sources said the former Bangladesh head of the LeT arranged for logistical support to the 10 Pakistan-trained terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26. Faisal Nayeem, deported to Pakistan in 2006 under American pressure, was the LeT's commander in Dhaka. Sources investigating the attack claim that Faisal got in touch with LeT's present Bangladesh head, Imran Mian, to arrange SIM cards for the terrorists who carried out the Mumbai attacks. During his stay in Bangladesh, Nayeem had set up an intricate network of agents which allowed him to take Indian youth to Pakistan via Bangladesh. They were trained in Pakistani terror camps and then pushed into India. Faisal told Bangladeshi investigators that he had coordinated several fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks during his stay in Bangladesh including the attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh headquarters in Nagpur in 2004 and a Border Security Force post in Hyderabad in 2005.
