Meanwhile, Nasir Ahmad Bhat, the head of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen’s (HM) operations in Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested in a raid near Pulwama on December 4, according to The Hindu. A resident of the village Arwani in the southern Kashmir district of Anantnag, Bhat is the senior-most HM ‘commander’ to have ever been arrested.

Over the past three years, he is believed to have directed a string of bombings and shootouts which claimed several hundred lives. Bhat - who used the codename ‘Ghazi Misbahuddin’ - had been despatched to rebuild the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen after it lost a series of top commanders to Indian counter-terrorism operations in 2003-2004.

Pakistani militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) have joined hands with the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) of Bangladesh to destabilise India’s sovereignty taking the strategic advantage of the eastern border, the Director General of Border Security Force (BSF), A. K. Mitra, said on December 6, UNI reported. Talking to the media in Agartala, Mitra pointed out that the western frontier of India was relatively tough for Pakistani militants but the eastern border with Bangladesh had become more useful for them and foreign militants were utilising South Bengal border for anti-Indian activities. The BSF chief is on a two-day visit to the Tripura-Bangladesh border to oversee the border management strategy on the eve of the Assembly elections in Tripura. "We have authentic report of Bangladeshi fundamentalist movement being abetted by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)," Mitra informed and added that Bangladeshi and Pakistani militants have formed a strong nexus to carry out attacks in the Indian hinterland. He disclosed that 14 militants of the LeT and JeM were arrested in South Bengal border, trying to sneak into India from Bangladesh in the past six months. Speaking on the recent terrorist attacks in India, including the recent serial bomb blasts in Uttar Pradesh, Mitra said circumstantial evidence point to a kind of a joint mission by the HUJI, along with LeT and JeM.

The Task Force on Naxalites on December 13 underscored the need for more synergy between the affected States and the Centre to effectively deal with left-wing extremism, according to New Indian Express. The Task Force meeting in Bhubaneswar was presided over by M. L. Kumawat, Special Secretary (Internal Security) in the Union Home Ministry. The meeting discussed security preparedness as well as intelligence gathering network in all the affected States. Nodal officers on Naxalites and intelligence representatives from nine States – Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal – attended the meeting. Talking to the media after the meeting, Kumawat stressed that the synergy was required in all fields, including development works and security aspects. Naxalite violence, Kumawat informed, has considerably decreased in the recent times. In Orissa, incidents have come down significantly as is evident from only two deaths of security force personnel last year in Naxalite violence, he pointed out. He refuted claims that in some areas of the States the Naxalites run a parallel administration. “The State is mighty and democratically elected governments can never be wished away like that”, he said. There was, however, no commitment from the Centre to the demands of the states for deployment of more Central Reserve Police Force personnel. Instead, the States were asked to fill up the vacancies in different ranks of police administration.

Syed Salahuddin, chairman of the United Jihad Council (UJC) and ‘supreme commander’ of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), said on December 15 that the militant leadership is ready to support the Irish peace model as a first step towards the solution of Kashmir issue, provided Government of India accepts the disputed status of Kashmir issue, Kashmir Times reported. In an interview to a local news agency Current News Service, Salahuddin said, “The Kashmir issue is unresolved for last 60 years. Government of India must accept the disputed status of Kashmir issue. In that case we are ready to support the Irish peace model as the first step towards the solution. The other related steps must follow in a phased manner.” He rejected the four point formula of Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf saying it has created doubts in the minds of people since the formula has not been explained. "Different parties and people are differently interpreting the formula. Mehbooba Mufti is interpreting it according to her own interests and same is the case with other parties," the UJC chairman said. Describing the India-Pakistan talks on Kashmir as a futile exercise, he stated that Musharraf was expecting a breakthrough from the dialogue. "We had already predicted that the talks are not going to yield any results. Implementation of UN resolution is the only solution of Kashmir issue and all other activities in this regard are neither a solution nor acceptable to people," Salahuddin said. He denied that there was any pressure on militant groups from Pakistan and added that militancy is more effective and self reliant at this time. "Whosoever comes into power in Pakistan, they can not stop the struggle in Kashmir. Our struggle is not for the freedom of Pakistan but for the survival of Kashmiris," he claimed. Salahuddin opined that the ongoing movement would continue even if Pakistan stops supporting it.

But since it pertains to the law and order situation, we referred the case to the police which is investigating the matter." Officials of the Central Industrial Security Force, which supervises security at the Delhi airport, said they had taken all steps to counter any adverse situation even though it was a non-specific threat.

Kalinga Times reports that the Orissa Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik urged the Central government to increase financial assistance for police modernisation and stressed on the need for raising more India Reserve Battalions (IRBs) to tackle the growing Maoist problem in the State. Speaking at the Chief Ministers' Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on December 20, Patnaik demanded sanction of five more IRBs for Orissa. He asked the Union government to give a special grant of INR 300 million for the Training Resource Centre (TRC) of Special Operations Group, which is coming up near Bhubaneswar. The TRC is being developed as a permanent Training Resource Centre for counter terrorism, jungle warfare and anti-extremist operations, Patnaik stated. Urging the Centre to expand the scope and coverage of the police modernisation scheme, Patnaik said the size of Police Modernization Scheme for Orissa be enhanced from INR 265 million to INR 600 million. Further, Patnaik sought sanction of Central assistance for upgrading capability of the remaining 58 police stations located in the areas affected by Maoist violence, and sanction of another coastal police station for Puri. Patnaik also urged the Centre to consider deployment of two more battalions of Central Para-military Forces in the State.

Stating that Maoists are the single largest security challenge to India, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh urged chief ministers to cripple the extremists with all means at their command, reports Statesman. Addressing the chief ministers' conference on internal security on December 20 in New Delhi, he reiterated the need to upgrade the country's internal security machinery and called for superior policing techniques to defeat the Maoist insurgency. "Not a day passes without an incident of left-wing extremism taking place somewhere or the other. There also seems to be a consolidation of various groups with better coordination and strike capabilities," said Dr. Singh. He added: "I have said in the past that left-wing extremism is the single biggest security challenge to the Indian state. It continues to be so, and we cannot rest in peace till we have eliminated this virus. We need a coordinated response to this challenge. The answers to the problem are well known. We need to cripple Naxalite forces with all the means at our command." Referring to the Dantewada jailbreak on December 16 in Chhattisgarh where nearly 300 prisoners along with Maoists escaped, Singh lamented the paucity of policemen to counter the fast-emerging challenges including hinterland terrorism. "I hear that there were only three personnel at the Dantewada jail. Inadequate, ill-equipped, ill-trained, poorly-motivated personnel cannot take on the Naxal extremists who are increasingly better equipped and organized…. They are carefully targeting all aspects of economic activity. They are targeting vital economic infrastructure so as to cripple transport and logistic capabilities and also slow down any development activity," he said. Singh urged the chief ministers to strengthen core policing, fill up vacancies in police forces and show better leadership and resolve to face up to the challenge.

According to Tribune, hundreds of thousands of pounds are allegedly being sent to Kashmir to fund militancy through counterfeiting and mortgage fraud. This information was revealed in a report appearing in Scotland on December 23. “A Scottish gang is bankrolling murderous terrorist attacks in Kashmir, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds each year through counterfeiting and mortgage fraud,” the report said. The report quoting MI 5 sources revealed, “Around 50 Scots Asians - most of them in Glasgow - are raising funds for Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a Kashmiri separatist group responsible for hundreds of deaths and reportedly involved in the kidnap and murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl.” It said that much of the cash raised in Scotland is sent first to Dubai, where it is laundered, and then passed on to JeM terrorists operating in Kashmir. The report revealed that up to £50,000 a month is raised in Scotland. As well as money from mortgage fraud, around £15,000 of this total is raised by selling counterfeit DVDs, CDs and clothing at market stalls and in pubs and clubs across Scotland. MI5 estimates that there are about 50 hardcore JeM sympathisers living in Scotland, responsible for shipping half a million pounds abroad every year to fund the militants' activities halfway across the world.

The president of the Mahila Congress Committee of Jowai, identified as Armonie Lamare, was arrested for helping the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) militants by collecting money for the outfit, reports Shillong Times. She was arrested from the Khimusniang locality of Jowai in the Jaintia Hills district on December 30. Police traced all her phone calls to several areas of the Jaintia Hills and Shillong. Lamare used to send the extortion amount to HNLC cadre in Shillong or to couriers camping in the Amlarem-Dawki border areas. Lamare reportedly told the police that she had been associated with the HNLC for the last seven years after the outfit abducted her brother in 2000 for drug peddling and later released him after extracting a promise from her to raise money for it. The outfit’s top leaders based in Bangladesh send their trusted cadre to collect the amount from women couriers like Lamare, according to reports. According to the police, dwindling manpower because of surrenders and fear of getting arrested have forced the HNLC to depend on women to collect extortion money from areas inaccessible to the cadre of its finance wing. Many women have reportedly been "forced" to collect money from houses and business establishments acting as HNLC agents, the police said.

On December 31, the ULFA accused the Union government of trying to gain political mileage over the peace talks issue and insisted that a written assurance should be given to discuss sovereignty to revive the peace process. In an e-mail to the media, ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah said that the outfit is prepared for the peace process to be revived and release of five top jailed ULFA leaders is not the only precondition set by the outfit for talks. The first precondition, Baruah said, was that the issue of sovereignty should be included in the agenda for talks. The government should also divulge the whereabouts of the outfit’s missing leaders in the December 2003 military operations in Bhutan.
