The London-based daily on January 4 reports that the evidence proves that the strikes were orchestrated by militants based in Pakistan. The report adds that Zarar Shah, a communications specialist of LeT, confessed during his interrogation in Pakistan that he advised the terrorists over phone as the attacks unfolded.

Mumbai was one of the 320 worldwide locations on the list of potential targets for commando-style terror strikes, The Guardian reported on February 19, according to Daily Times. The report suggested that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the outlawed terrorist group that planned much of the attack from Pakistan, “had ambitions well beyond causing mayhem in India”. “Western intelligence agencies have accessed the computer and email account of Lashkar’s communications chief, Zarar Shah, and found a list of possible targets, only 20 of which were in India,” Guardian reported. Two of the November 2008 attack’s key planners – Shah and Lashkar’s operations chief, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi – are now in police custody in Pakistan, it said. The Guardian also said “there has been some speculation that raids in Spain which netted 12 men – an Indian and 11 Pakistanis – were a result of the investigations into Lashkar’s role in the Mumbai attacks”.

In a report submitted in Parliament on February 24, the Standing Committee on Defence recommended to constitute a "Federal Central Intelligence Agency", which will even have the military spy network under its control, Indian Express reported. The report stated, "Lack of coordination among different intelligence gathering agencies including those of the military intelligence resulted in the loss of precious lives of defence service and police forces personnel as well as those of civilians". In its recommendation to the Government, the committee said immediate steps must be taken to constitute a central spy agency that will also have the tri-service (Indian Army, Indian Air force, Indian Navy) intelligence gathering network under its gambit. It asked the Government to put in place an effective mechanism for establishing better coordination and jointness between the Coast Guard and the Navy. It also asked the Government to set up a committee to "reorganise, reform and restructure the armed forces" on the basis of the Kargil review committee report and a Group of Ministers report on security of 2001.

Hindustan Times reports that an important Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader, Sarfaraz Navaz, who reportedly funded the Bangalore serial bomb blasts on July 25, 2008, confessed during his interrogation that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) was behind the July 25, 2008 Bangalore bomb blasts. Sarfaraz, who hails from Ernakulam in Kerala, was earlier arrested by the Research and Analysis Wing (R and AW) from Muscat in Oman on March 3. He was sent to Police custody till March 14. According to Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari, Sarfaraz collected about INR 320000 from like-minded people ahead of the bomb blasts. He also took part in reconnaissance of various spots and attempted to send a suspected terrorist involved in the blast across the border to train with the LeT in Pakistan. “Sarfaraz has links with LeT and has been in touch with Wali a.k.a. Rehan, a key member of LeT. We are sure that some more men will be picked up based on information provided by him,” the Commissioner said. Sarfaraz reportedly completed a three-year course (1995-98) at Nadwat-ul-Ulema (Institute of Islamic Scholarship) in Lucknow and joined as office secretary at the SIMI head office in New Delhi in 2000. Subsequently, he kept in touch with SIMI leaders from Kerala as he traveled to Muscat and Oman for work.

The Union Government on March 18 sent out a fresh advisory to all State Governments to increase security at political rallies and meetings, especially those where leaders were going to be present. In a message sent to the Directors General of Police, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said all necessary steps like securing neighbouring high-rise buildings, manual frisking, putting door-framed metal detectors and total sanitisation of the location must be carried out in letter and spirit at all rallies where top leaders would attend. The ministry also asked States to ensure installation of CCTV cameras at rallies and political meetings, all over the venue and not merely at the dais. Besides, political parties have also been asked to pass all information pertaining to travel plan and rallies of prominent leaders to the State Police concerned. Sources in the MHA said the state Police would, in turn, pass on the information to the Centre for coordination with intelligence and security agencies. The Multi-Agency Centre will also coordinate with subsidiaries in the States, which receive information from their intelligence agencies.

According to Times of India, security agencies have been placed on a high alert following an intelligence report that seven trained pilots and around 12 women Fidayeen (suicide squad) members have entered the country to carry out terrorist attacks, including hijackings. Consequently, security arrangements across India have been beefed up following the input that was received six days ago by the Maharashtra Police and some other security agencies. A source said, "A group of 20 people, who could be Pakistani nationals, have entered the country to carry out terror strikes or a plane hijack. The group includes seven trained pilots and 13-14 women." "While we have been receiving terror threats repeatedly after 26/11, the current input is clearly the biggest one airports have received so far," said an unnamed official. The message was conveyed to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, which forwarded it to all airports across the country.

According to PTI, an Indian Mujahideen (IM) militant, identified as Mohammed Arif Badruddin Shaikh, who made bombs for the outfit has said in his confession on April 8 that he was taught how to make bombs by a Pakistan Army Major, identified as Nasar. Arif said he was sent to Pakistan in May 2005 via Bangladesh and after landing in Karachi he was taken to an unknown location. "The training camp in-charge was Major Nasar...

The bomb maker has said he was sent to Pakistan on a fake Bangladeshi passport and entered the country through a flight from Dhaka. Later, he returned to India through the Bangladesh border, Arif said. After his explosives training, he first made timers for bombs that were used in the October 29, 2005 Delhi bomb blasts, Arif said, adding he made two sets of timers in January and February 2006 which were used in the blasts at the Sankatmochan temple and Varanasi Railway Station in March 7, 2006.

As many as 300-400 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militants may have infiltrated into India in the guise of refugees fleeing Sri Lanka, according to Times of India. Sources said intelligence agencies had received reports that lower level LTTE cadres may have infiltrated into India and could be among those currently being held in high security camps for screening. Coastal States like Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka have been on high alert for some time now following the Sri Lankan military action against LTTE that had thousands of Tamil civilians fleeing the war zone. Union Home Ministry sources said they had received reports of LTTE militants making their way into refugee camps. "All refugees are being screened and we are keeping any suspicious people in high security camps. The rest are being sent to open camps," an unnamed ministry official said. Besides the rigorous screening process, authorities have also sent two expert teams to de-mine regions which are free of LTTE-control, along with a team of doctors and relief worth INR one billion. Meanwhile, the Navy, Coast Guard and troops in the Southern Command are on alert to prevent LTTE militants from entering Indian Territory, the report added.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadre arrested on June 4, Mohammad Omar Madani, reportedly ran a logistical hub that funnelled dozens of militants through Nepal to targets across in India, Delhi Police sources told The Hindu. Working with fugitives like LeT commander Mohammad Saifullah, the Bihar-born Nepal national Madani provided LeT operatives with passports, cash and communications facilities that allowed them to travel from Pakistan to India through Kathmandu and then secure their escape. Fahim Arshad Ansari, who is now being tried on charges of having generated the videotape that facilitated the training of the perpetrators of November 26, 2008 attacks in Mumbai, is among those alleged to have benefited from the logistical infrastructure Madani helped set up. Sabahuddin Ahmed, Ansari’s immediate superior and the first Indian national to have commanded a LeT’s field unit, also used the Lashkar’s transit hub.

An investigation into the geographical locations of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses used for the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) led the Police to places in Pakistan, Russia, Kuwait and the United States, reports The Hindu. Five of the 10 locations traced are in Pakistan, Crime Branch Cyber Cell inspector Mukund Pawar said in his testimony before the special sessions court in Mumbai on August 26. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) gave the Indian Police a list of 10 IP addresses. As per the charge sheet, it is from these addresses that the email id

The Hindu reports that Pakistan’s investigation into the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) has concluded that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants carried out the assault, according to a media report in The New York Times, which also said some people in the Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), knew about the plot but “closed their eyes.” Quoting a dossier compiled by Pakistani investigators, The New York Times reported that LeT recruits for the attack were vetted and trained in different parts of Pakistan including at well-established camps in Muzafarrabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and in Mansehra in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). “A core group, the 10 chosen for the Mumbai assault, was eventually moved to Karachi and its suburbs, where the real drilling began and where Pakistani investigators later retraced the plotters’ steps,” the report said. “The investigation concludes beyond any reasonable doubt that it was Lashkar militants who carried out the Mumbai attacks, preying on their victims in a train station, two five-star hotels, a cafe and a Jewish centre over three days starting last November 26,” the daily report added. Quoting a “highly placed” LeT militant, the English daily said that the Mumbai attackers were part of groups trained by former Pakistani military and intelligence officials at LeT camps. “Others had direct knowledge that retired Army and ISI officials trained Lashkar recruits as late as last year. Some people of the ISI knew about the plan and closed their eyes,” The New York Times quoted the militant as saying. Further, quoting the Indian and Pakistani dossiers on the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the news paper beginning as early as May 2008, the group trained and planned brazenly while living in various neighbourhoods in and around Karachi. “They made scores of calls using cell phones, some with stolen numbers, starting in August. They set up voice lines over the Internet.” At one water sports shop, they bought inflatable boats, air pumps, life jackets and engines. One of their training camps, with five thatched rooms and a three-room house, was located near a creek, where they conducted water drills in the open. Working from Millat Town, a dusty, middle-class Karachi suburb on the eastern edge of the city, Sadiq organised the cadre. “Neighbours described him as quiet and pious, riding around the streets with his two young sons perched on his motorbike. The Pakistani dossier says he was a committed Lashkar militant.” the daily reports Using handwritten manuals, the recruits were trained how to use cell phones to keep in contact with their handlers during the attack. They pored over detailed maps of the Indian coastline, plotting the course they would take to Mumbai. They learned how to use global positioning devices, the report said.

US investigating agencies have neutralised a plot by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to use an American national for terrorist attacks in Denmark and India, Times of India reported. The man, identified as David Coleman Headley, was one of two suspects arrested early in October 2009 by FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport before he boarded a flight to Philadelphia, from where he was intending to travel to Pakistan to meet Pakistani terrorist handlers, including the fugitive Ilyas Kashmiri. Headley's partner in the terror plot, which included plans to attack the Danish newspaper that published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed, was a Pakistani-Canadian named Tahawwur Hussain Rana, also a resident of Chicago who was arrested by the FBI on October 18. According to the FBI affidavit filed in a Chicago court, Headley was in close contact with Ilyas Kashmiri and several unidentified leaders of LeT, two of whom are identified as "LeT member A" and "Individual A." He had visited Pakistan before to meet LeT handlers and was returning there ostensibly to finalize plans for strikes. "In July and August 2009, Headley exchanged a series of e-mails with LeT Member A, including an exchange in which Headley asked if the Denmark project was on hold, and whether a visit to India that LeT member A had asked him to undertake was for the purpose of surveilling targets for a new terrorist attack," the FBI said in its affidavit. "These e-mails reflect that LeT Member A was placing a higher priority on using Headley to assist in planning a new attack in India than on completing the planned attack in Denmark," it said. Although the affidavit named Kashmiri, it did not identify others involved in the plot, referring to them as LeT member A and Individual A. It said LeT member A "has substantial influence and responsibility within the organization" and his "identity is known to the government."

Intelligence agencies are working on inputs that Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militants may be in Mumbai and Hyderabad to work on terror plots in these two cities, reports Times of India. The Indian Mujahideen (IM) and the Deccan Mujahideen (DM) have been on the local security agencies' radar for some time, but this is the first time that the Bangladesh-based outfit has emerged as a possible player in Mumbai. The JMB, officials said, had been facing problems ever since the change of Government in Bangladesh. ''The Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League has shown much greater sensitivity to India's concerns than the previous Bangladesh Nationalist Party of Begum Khaleda Zia. Reports here indicate that the JMB is trying to expand operations to western and southern India because it is under intense pressure in its homeland,'' a senior Home department official said.

Times of India reports that future terrorist attacks on India will focus on large-scale casualties and symbolic targets, according to the US think tank Research And Development (Rand) Corporation, which studied the 26/11 attacks and released a report called ‘The Lessons of Mumbai’. On February 3, Times of India reported that Rand’s Brian Jenkins, who contributed to the report, gave testimony to the US Senate that India would continue to face a serious jihadi threat in the ‘‘foreseeable future’’. According to new details, the report by Rand, which works with US defence and intelligence, says, ‘‘The jihadis have stated, and the Mumbai attack demonstrates, the determination of the terrorists to seek high body counts, go after iconic targets and cause economic damage.’’ The report says this strategy of the terrorists is designed to ‘‘maximise the psychological impact of their attacks’’.

In a new disclosure, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has said that the famous Somnath temple in Gujarat, Bollywood stars and Shiv Sena leaders in Mumbai were also the targets of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which was planning to carry out strikes with the help of two Chicago-based residents of Pakistani origin, according to Times of India. These three possible LeT targets were revealed for the first time by the FBI in a footnote to the fresh evidence and chargesheet submitted by it against Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Rana, the terror suspect whose bail plea hearing is scheduled for December 15 (today) in a Chicago court. Earlier, the Federal Bureau of Investigation had said that the National Defence College in New Delhi was on the hit list of LeT. "In the September 7, 2009 conversation, David Coleman Headley discussed four targets with Rana - Somnath (a temple in India) and Denmark, Bollywood (a reference to the Indian film industry) and Shiv Sena (a political party in India with roots in Hindu nationalism)," the FBI said in a foot note on page nine of the 10-page fresh affidavit. "In his post-arrest statement, Rana falsely claimed that these were references to potential business ventures. It is difficult to imagine why a person who praises the work of a designated terrorist group that attacks India would look at an Indian temple or a Hindu nationalist party as a business venture," the FBI noted. "It bears note that, as set out in the complaint, 'business' and 'investments' were code words used by Rana, David Coleman Headley (Pakistani-origin American terror suspect has been charged for plotting Mumbai terror attacks), "Pasha" (a retired Pakistani Army Brigadier) and others to describe terrorist plots," the FBI said. The FBI said in his September seven conversation with Headley, Rana discussed the National Defense College in India as a "target". "Headley added this target to their list of previously discussed targets, saying 'sorry not four, five,' and identified the 'defence college'. Rana responded, 'right, this is it, I knew already'," the investigating agency said. "Rana said he 'thought it is the target' using the English word 'target'. Headley explained that he would ask LeT Member A to 'do that first' (attack the Defence College). Rana responded affirmatively, 'in this matter, do the defence," the FBI said in the affidavit. "After Headley stated that 'we' would use LeT Member A to carry out the attack on the Defence College, Rana again offered praise for Let Member A and the terror outfit: 'they should be really commended. I appreciate them from my heart'," the FBI said.

Pashtun-looking’ suicide bombers, trained by Taliban, have entered India and are positioned in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and a couple of cities in Gujarat to carry out Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) plan to launch a fresh wave of attacks in coming days, security agencies have said, according to Times of India. Though the exact number of fidayeen who entered India is not yet clear, Indian agencies have come across inputs stating that suicide squads have already been in touch with their facilitators - who entered India as an advance party - for necessary logistics for the operations. An official said, “It is possible that one or two suicide bombers could be positioned in each of the cities, which are on terror radar. They have been trained by Taliban and pushed into India by LeT.” The suicide bombers’ targets include BARC, Trombay; Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and Shiv Sena Bhavan in Mumbai; American consulate and sea port in Kolkata; Rashtiya Swayamsevak Sangathan (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur; National Defence College in Delhi, and some defence establishments and civilian targets in other cities including Ahmedabad. Indian agencies have got the inputs from FBI, which got the details from US-based terrorist David Coleman Headley during his interrogation. After being tipped off by FBI, the home ministry has now alerted Maharashtra, West Bengal, Delhi and Gujarat asking them to beef up security of all such installations and high-risk individuals - like Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray - and remain fully vigilant. The official said states had also been asked to keep watch on soft and potential targets and intensify patrolling, especially at airports, railway stations, bus terminus and hotels. He said the inputs also suggested that terrorists were ‘‘Pashtun-looking’’ and drawn from Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas. A few days before the terrorists’ entry, some of their ‘‘facilitators’’ had visited different cities for recce and to provide information, the official said.

Coming down heavily on the hotel managements for ignoring specific security warnings, a Government-appointed probe panel set up after the 26/11 terror strikes has said that the lack of Police presence outside the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels allowed heavily-armed Pakistani Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists to walk in rather smoothly, reports Times of India. The two hotels and the Leopold Cafe - the worst-hit sites during the multiple terrorist attack last year - in south Mumbai were ill-prepared to thwart the attack despite their managements being informed about specific intelligence warnings that the LeT was planning to target them, says the report of the R.D. Pradhan probe committee. The three sites were specifically named in different intelligence tip-offs, the panel found during its investigations. The hotel managements ignored the warnings and didn't take proper security measures as advised by the Police, it says.
