European countries are being used as hot destinations by terror group al Qaida to route money to India, Times of India quoting Peruvian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) reported on March 6. The report said the FIU had found at least one case of such suspicious transaction by al Qaida every month and shared them with the US investigators. "The FIU also reports tracking cases similar to that of an OFAC-designated (US Office of Foreign Assets Control) of al Qaida element moving money from Europe through Lima and on to India," the report leaked by WikiLeaks, a non-profit media organisation dedicated to bringing important information to the public, quoting FIU head Enrique Saldivar disclosed. "Of the 7,710 suspicious activity reports examined by FIU analysts in 2009, 781 resulted in financial intelligence reports sent to the public ministry for further processing and investigation. “Based on these 781 intelligence reports, the FIU concludes more than 3 billion dollars moved illegally through Peru's financial sector in 2009," report added.

Residents of Malegaon (Maharastra) on March 6 said the special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team reinvestigating the 2006 Malegaon bomb blasts told them that their probe revealed that the RDX used in the blasts was stolen from the Army, reports Times of India. The Army had earlier denied this charge. On September 8, 2006, four RDX bombs planted on bicycles near a mosque at a cemetery in Mushawerat Chowk of Malegaon exploded, killing 31 persons and injuring 297 others. Seven youths from Malegaon were arrested by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on charges of designing and engineering the blasts. In December 2006 the probe was handed over to the CBI. In 2011, a special CBI team began reinvestigating the case after a member of Abhinav Bharat Swami Aseemanand's confession claimed that the right-wing group was responsible for the Malegaon blast. The special CBI team conducted five meetings with the members of Organisations of All Muslim Sects (OAMS) in Malegaon and interacted with them. "The CBI told us that the RDX used in the blasts was stolen from the army," said a member of OAMS who was called by the CBI during the probe recently. A CBI team member, M V Laad, said, "I neither know anything about it nor do I want to talk on this issue". Another officer from the special CBI team said, "I have been to Malegaon but I cannot utter a single word."

Central Intelligence agencies unearthed a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) conspiracy to attack one or more venues of the ongoing World Cup cricket matches in India, The Hindu reported on March 7. Specific inputs have been communicated to Tamil Nadu and other States, where the matches are to be played. Sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs said that inputs received through "sensitive channels" indicated that in October 2010, the Pakistan-based LeT cadre, Zaibuddin Ansari, or his associate’s researched information pertaining to explosive chemical substances and the stadiums where the 2011 World Cup matches were to be played. The suspects allegedly analysed eight cricket stadiums in India, including the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmadabad, Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and M.A. Chidambaram Stadium at Chepauk in Chennai, the sources added. "We have been given an alert that Ansari and his associates researched the composition for chemicals known to be used in explosives, including ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate fuel oil and pentaerythritol tetranirate (PETN). They seem to have showed more interest in the manufacture of lead styphnate, which is used in the manufacture of different nitro compounds in explosives," an unnamed Senior Police Officer said.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on March 7 warned that the SIM cards becoming the new national security risk, reports Times of India. The information came out that many of the SIM cards being used by nearly 700 million mobile users in the country may have malevolent embedded software, which has put India's security agencies on tenterhooks. This new national security risk has alarmed the MHA and it intends to ask the telecom industry to replace all such imported SIMs in the country with locally manufactured ones at their own cost. According to a Government source, only 30% of the total volumes of SIM cards are imported at present, though even this figure will now be subjected to a formal evaluation of installed capacity. The fear is that the embedded software turns the SIM card into a minicomputer, which can be a cause of abuse. The security agencies are proposing that only blank SIM cards be allowed for import and the personalization process be done entirely by domestic firms. However, since this can only reduce vulnerability of future imports, MHA wants the industry to replace all existing SIMs at its own cost. The MHA also wants the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) to weed out all fake and duplicate IMEI numbers, indicating that its earlier crackdowns have not been entirely successful.

A foreign intelligence agency conveyed to India that Islamist militant outfits al Qaida and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) may target ongoing world cup cricket matches in India and vital oil installations along the coastline. The agency further warned that some cadres of an operational cell of the al Qaida and LeT could already be in the country, having possibly entered via Nepal, and some more may arrive soon. Following these warnings the Centre asked the States to beef up security along the coastline, oil installations and all World Cup venues. Indian Navy, Coast Guard, coastal police of the states and coastal villages were also alerted.

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.

India's most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai terror attacks, has emerged as the world's second most wanted man, next only to a Mexican drug lord, after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, reports Times of India, quoting a report published in The Guardian on May 4. According to reports, like bin Laden, Ibrahim "may well be based in Pakistan." "The most wanted man in India heads up a 5,000-strong organised crime network called the D-Company that is involved in everything from drugs trafficking to contract killing in Pakistan, India and the UAE," the report said. According to Washington reports, Dawood uses the same smuggling routes as al Qaeda, and has worked with both the mother organisation and its off-shoot Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks.

A fresh set of American diplomatic cables released by the Wikileaks revealed that the Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) facilitated militants to cross the India-Pakistan border to carry out strikes on Indian targets chosen by the Pakistan Army, The Hindu reported on May 9. This information came out of interrogation reports of several detainees at the Guantanamo Bay facility held captive by the U.S authorities. The interrogation reports quoted a detainee as saying that the ISI “allowed” militants to travel to India where they conducted bombings, kidnappings and killing of Kashmiri people. The disclosures are part of 779 interrogation reports from the facility of detainees from all over the world and show how a number of them were linked to the anti-Indian outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and had received terror training in Pakistan. The reports quote detainees from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Pakistan as telling interrogators about their recruitment and subsequent travelling to Pakistan for terror training before their actual deployment for launching attacks against India and Afghanistan.

According to disclosures made Guantanamo Bay detainees released by Wikileaks al Qaeda operatives used a New Delhi-based organisation, Tablighi Jamaat, as a cover to obtain travel documents and shelter, Indian Express reported on may 9. Furthermore, say the paper, at least three of the hardcore inmates at the prison had stayed at the organisation’s facilities in Delhi and around. The records revealed by Wikileaks contain interrogation reports and analysis of 779 inmates of the Cuba bay prison. The US records identify the New Delhi-headquartered Jamaat Tabligh (JT) (as the name appears in its records) as a “proselytising organisation that willingly supports terrorists”. Also according to reports al Qaeda used the JT to facilitate and fund the international travels of its members. Most recently the JT has been linked to the July 11 2006, terrorist attacks in Mumbai’s local trains, in which at least 207 people were killed and over 800 injured.” Several of the inmates are recorded as having used JT’s facilities in India and abroad for shelter and travel documents.

The move is aimed at highlighting the role of ISI as a terror sponsor at a time when the detection of Osama bin Laden in the garrison town of Abbottabad deep inside Pakistan has trained the global spotlight anew on ISI's terror links across the globe. The individual identified as 'Major Iqbal'also figures in a US chargesheet accusing him of being one of the conspirators behind Mumbai terror attacks( November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11).

According to the Guantanamo Bay files al-Qaeda members at various times had used the network of TJ and often posed as missionaries to access visas to Pakistan and other destinations, and used the Jamaat's premises as shelter. The names of al Qaeda militants like Hamir Mohammed (a Sudani national and also a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadre), Muhammed Sulayman Barre (a Somali national), Abdul Bukhary (citizen of Saudi Arabia) came up in the reports.

While denying that Inter-Services Intelligence had a hand in the bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul(July 7, 2008), Mahmud Ali Durrani, Pakistan's National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister, on October 13, 2008, admitted to his Indian counterpart M.K. Narayanan that Pakistan had contacts with “bad guys” and “one of them” could have carried out the attack, reports The Hindu. This news came via a leaked cable revealed by the whistle-blower website Wikileaks. Four Indian nationals, including two senior officials at the Indian Embassy, were among the 58 people killed in the suicide bombing. India accused the ISI of being behind the attack. Among other revelations made by Wikileaks, it was reported that United States officials were worried about the possibility that the top three Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants arrested by Pakistan in connection with the Mumbai terror attacks( November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) could be acquitted and let free by the court for want of evidence. They had complained that New Delhi was at fault in this, as despite repeated interventions by the U.S. government at “several levels,” it had not shared “certified evidence” with Pakistan. Further, it was reported that the United States had “credible reports” that the LeT was planning another attack in India and asked Pakistan to disrupt those plans. The U.S. also warned that if such an attack happened, it could “hinder” Washington's efforts to provide military and non-military aid to Islamabad. Also, less than a year after the Mumbai terrorist attacks, the United States Mission in Islamabad urged Washington to commit $2 billion over a five-year period beginning April 2011 to enable the Pakistan military to address, among other security needs, its “growing conventional disadvantage vis-à-vis India,” in order to secure its cooperation in the “war on terror.”

In the wake of Osama bin Laden's killing and the ongoing trial of Tahawwur Rana in Chicago, a secretive wing of the ISI has come under fresh scrutiny. According to reports, the ISI's involvement and planning for Mumbai attacks would have been handled by the S Wing. ISI coordinates all its work with terrorist groups through S Wing, a secretive, powerful and probably dispersed network that includes a number of retired military personnel. The S Wing may have "hundreds of retired military officers and terror leaders" on its rolls, said a senior official. "All that we know about ISI may not fully explain this monster," he said of ISI and its S Wing.

According to a senior Police officer, the organisation (KFD), having 5000 cadres in Mysore, is widely respected for its social work but there are also many members with a criminal background.

A Pakistani newspaper on August 15 accused India of covertly helping Baloch nationalists and urged the Government to carry out a diplomatic campaign against New Delhi, according to Times of India. "Not content with misusing its consulates in Afghanistan against Pakistan, India is bankrolling Baloch nationalists abroad, keeping alive a movement which needs government action to stop it from spreading," The Nation said in an editorial. It added that Baloch nationalists had shifted to London, operating there out of a flat where a prominent Baloch leader lived in self-imposed exile. "This group is not only bringing out anti-Pakistan literature in the troubled province but is also in contact with US and Indian diplomats. Members of the group travel to the US, India and Oman using a travel agent of Indian-origin, who is paid by the Indian high commission, according to a report appearing on Sunday in the Nawa-i-Waqt," it added. The daily said that India and the US "are alert to any way they can destabilize Pakistan, but they are only exploiting opportunities that we have created by our mistakes". It called on the Pakistan government to launch a vigorous diplomatic campaign from London, "focusing on the undiplomatic activities of India in the UK, aimed against a friendly country which is helping the UK directly in its part of the war on terror," the newspaper added.

The conspiracy to carry out the September 7 bomb blast at the Delhi high court was hatched in Nepal by the militant Islamist outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), according to an intelligence input generated in Kolkata (in West Bengal), The Hindustan Times reported.

The Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) could have been averted if the then Bush administration [referring to then US president George W. Bush] had taken seriously the warning and threat perception of Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) global operations by French judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, a media report said. Bruguiere met officials of the Bush administration in 2007 to inform them about the LeT's threat and Pakistan's double game, but US officials were not convinced by his argument, reported PBS's Frontline and ProPublica in a report released on November 21. Bruguiere argument was based on his investigation of French LeT terrorist Willie Brigitte, who after being caught, had confessed to involvement in a foiled bomb plot in Australia. During his investigation, the judge found that Brigitte's LeT handler was Sajid Mir, one of the key architect of the Mumbai terrorist attack. "When Bruguiere questioned Brigitte, the links between Lashkar-e-Taiba, Sajid Mir and Pakistan's intelligence service ISI began to unravel," the report said.

In an estimate made by the Union Government, Maharashtra reported nearly 85% of the total seizure of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) in the India during the year 2011, according to The Times of India. Government on November 29 informed the Lok Sabha (lower House of the Indian Parliament) that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and State Police had recovered fake Indian currency notes (FICN) worth over INR 810 million in Maharashtra out of total INR 960 million till October, 2011.West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are the others states, where FICN were seized in substantial number. The face value of such counterfeit notes in these states is, however, quite low as compared to Maharashtra. In terms of FICN-related cases too, Maharashtra is at the top, having registered 212 FIRs for probe as compared to 114 in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat (113), Andhra Pradesh (98) and West Bengal (72). Intelligence agencies suspect that FICNs are being pumped into India by Pakistani spy agency Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) using network of crime syndicates headed by Dawood Ibrahim.

A report submitted by the Government prior to the Asia-Pacific Group (APG) annual meeting on money laundering in July had wanted a tab on Pakistan’s strategy to route the FICN into India through Nepal, Bangladesh, United Arab Emirate (UAE), Sri Lanka and South-East Asian countries like Thailand and Malaysia, according to Deccan Chronicle. It said roughly four out of every 1,000 currency notes in the country was fake. Besides FICN enter India through migrant labourers who are agents, from UAE, especially to areas like Malappuram and Chavakkad where the centres work under the façade of clinics or treatment centres. The former Coast Guard Director-General, Prabhakar Paleri, says Kerala is generally a peaceful state and can be a safe destination for the landing of such notes that are sent out, especially from UAE.

According to recent official reports there is shortage at over 100,000 personnel, with the Border Security Force (BSF), which is deployed on the sensitive Indo-Pak border, topping the list with 25,000 vacancies, as reported by Deccan Herald. In addition, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), which mans the disputed border with China, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), which is engaged in anti-militancy operations, and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), in charge of the security of vital installations and industrial units, are all short of around 17,000 more personnel each. Other forces are also reeling under a shortage of personnel. Even the elite National Security Guards (NSG) is not fully staffed. The fact that most of the vacancies are at the lower levels makes the situation worse because the operational efficiency of the forces is critically dependent on the strength of the manpower at these levels. Even by the Union Home Ministry’s admission the existing vacancies will be filled only in the next two years. Defence services also suffer from an estimated shortage of about 15,000 officers.
