Security forces (SFs) on January 1 killed a most wanted Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadre, Shaukat Ahmed Najjar alias Munna Janwari, along with one of his associates in a major gun-battle at Sopore in the Baramulla district, according to Daily Excelsior. Official sources said the troops used armoured vehicles and demolished the non-residential structure of Abdul Aziz Kanjwal in the densely populated Muslim Pir locality with improvised explosive devices. Even as one of the three LeT militants, Jan Mohammad alias Jana Kandru, managed to escape, both his associates were killed. After their bodies were recovered from the rubble, they were identified as Shaukat Ahmed Najjar alias Munna Janwari alias Salfi alias Tawheed and Ghulam Nabi Khuroo alias Lamboo alias Haji alias Shooter alias Suhail. Officials said that over the last one year, Lashkar's fresh recruits, headed by Munna Janwari, had established a strong base and well-connected network of operatives in Sopore area, which, for some, appeared to be a "liberated zone".

Prime Minister. Manmohan Singh, writing a letter to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, stated that the Government of India is "deeply disturbed by the violence against civilians in Sri Lanka…and distress of Sri Lanka's Tamil citizens," according to Colombo Page. He further said, "Your concerns on this subject have been noted by me. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to you that the Government of India is deeply disturbed by the violence against civilians in Sri Lanka including women and children and about the particular situation and distress of Sri Lanka's Tamil citizens. As such we would not be a party to any activity that would have the effect of exacerbating the difficulties faced by the Sri Lankan Tamil community. It continues to be our position that the problems in Sri Lanka can only be solved through peaceful negotiations and we are urging all concerned to eschew violence which inevitably has a grave impact on innocent and defenseless civilians."

According to IANS reports, Tamil Nadu is setting up 12 Marine Police stations as part of heightened coastal security to check smuggling of weapons and explosives to Sri Lanka. The Government has sanctioned money for the stations to come up along the winding Tamil Nadu coast and to increase the number of Police check posts close to the sea from the present 60 to 100, official sources told IANS. These are expected to happen within the next six months. The Marine Police will operate both in the coastal districts as well as in the sea that divides Tamil Nadu from Sri Lanka. The discovery of 30 sacks of detonators from a van that was involved in an accident in Sivaganga district two months ago added to the urgency of the beefed up security measures. According to the sources, those arrested after the contraband's discovery told the Police in Tamil Nadu that the detonators were meant for Sri Lanka, for use by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). "That discovery was taken up very seriously," an official source said, adding, "It was decided that there should be greater monitoring of coastal villages and what are known as 'landing points' for smugglers on the coast."

It also provides for action for suppression of crimes, including terrorists. A provision for seizure of property of criminals and terrorists is included in the treaty. India is understood to have given an undertaking that the extradited people will not be awarded death penalty, as it is believed to have been the main condition of Portugal.

The Army claimed that the ‘28th Battalion’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) were trained at camps in Myanmar, reports Hindustan Times. The battalion, with an estimated strength of 350-plus, had masterminded and executed some of the worst massacres in upper Assam, including the latest serial killings of Hindi-speaking migrants. "It also serves as the nerve centre of ULFA for planning kidnappings and extortion," said a senior officer of HQs 2 Mountain Division, showing a ransom note for INR 30 lakh addressed to a tea estate manager and signed by the self-styled ‘lieutenant’ Prabal Neog. The report stated that 15 ULFA cadres, including improvised explosive device (IED) experts, were eliminated in counter-insurgency operations. The recent recoveries indicated that the militants have access to universal machine guns, Chinese pistols, AK-47s, Austrian grenades, plenty of cash, RDX and IEDs. An unnamed Lieutenant Colonel, while speaking about the Army's ability to generate intelligence, said "but people in the hinterland are sometimes non-cooperative". The ‘27th’ and ‘109th battalions’ are also active in Assam, said the report.

The militant infrastructure across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) was intact which was evident from the recent infiltration bids in the Uri sector of Baramulla district, the Army said on January 12, according to Press Trust of India. "Despite confidence building measures between India and Pakistan, militants continue to get support from the other side of Line of Control. This has been proved by the recent infiltration bids in Uri," General Officer Commanding of the 15 Corps of the Army, Lt Gen A. S. Sekhon, told reporters at the Raising Day of the Corps in Srinagar. The Army commander said as per intelligence reports, terrorist infrastructure like training camps, launching pads and communication hubs were intact across the LoC. However, Sekhon said due to co-operation of the people, the army, in coordination with other security forces, has achieved many major successes against the militants. The graph of militancy-related violence in Kashmir valley had come down progressively over the past five years beginning from 2001, he stated. He also said the infiltration of militants was on the decline due to various measures, like fencing of the LoC, night vision devices and intensified patrolling, taken over the past three years.

Defence Minister A.K. Antony on January 15 ruled out army involvement in tackling left-wing extremism in the country. Speaking at a reception in New Delhi on the occasion of Army Day, he said, "It is not the job of the army to tackle the Naxalites (Left-wing extremism). This is something the state governments have to tackle." He further added, "The Naxalite problem has to be tackled by the state police forces and the paramilitary forces. At the most, the army can help with training and providing equipment. But the operations have to be conducted by the states." Antony further said that roughly half of the 1.2 million-strong Indian Army is deployed on counter-insurgency duties. "They are not happy doing this job but they have to because there is no one else to do it. When the police fails, and the paramilitary fails, the army is called in. But we can't expect them to tackle Naxalism too."

External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on January 31 urged Sri Lanka to unveil a credible devolution package to end the ethnic conflict during his meeting with new Sri Lankan Minister of Foreign Affairs Rohitha Bogollagama in New Delhi, according to Colombo Page. He said that now is the time to do it and that Sri Lanka should remember that there could never be a military solution to the conflict that has turned messier since end of 2005 after some years of relative calm. Meanwhile Rohitha Bogollagama said that while Colombo remained committed to the peace process it would crush terrorism by the LTTE, adds Reuters. "If it's a terrorist movement you can't encourage it. If you can't encourage it you must eliminate it. We are fairly strong to look at the terrorist aspect ... if they are strong, then let us see how strong they are," said Bogollagama. He also informed that India has agreed to step up its naval surveillance of common waters with Sri Lanka to check activities of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), according to IRNA.
