On January 1, seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and a civilian were killed in a pre-dawn terrorist attack on the para-military CRPF Group Centre at Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, reports The Hindu. Three more CRPF personnel, a civil police personnel and a home guard were injured in the attack. The Uttar Pradesh Principal Secretary J.N. Chamber said that the attack was carried out around 2.45 am (IST) by two suspected fidayeen (suicide squad) dressed as CRPF constables. They breached the outer security (which is the responsibility of the police), and started firing indiscriminately from AK-47 rifles on the security post, the guard room and the control room. The terrorists subsequently escaped under cover of darkness although unconfirmed reports said one of them was hit in the leg when the CRPF personnel opened fire in retaliation. Although no outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack, police and security agencies suspect that the attack was carried out by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

The Principal Sessions Judge of Jammu, J. R. Kotwal, convicted and sentenced an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) trained militant, Raja Muzaffar Ahmed, to undergo 18 years imprisonment, Daily Excelsior reported. According to the prosecution, on May 1, 2000, one Sanjeev Kumar helped the security forces in arresting two persons, who had come from across the border and enquiring about the road leading to Jammu. The duo disclosed their identity as Raja Muzaffar (code name Rashed) and Bilal Ahmed (code name Siraj Ahmed). From the possession of Raja Muzaffar, maps of Hiranagar sector, railway line and national highway were recovered while a pistol along with loaded magazine was recovered from Bilal Ahmed. On the disclosure of Raja Muzafar Ahmed, two hand grenades, one pistol magazine loaded with seven cartridges, one packet containing five kilograms of RDX, three time pencils, three detonators and a compass were recovered. Further investigation revealed that the duo were active militants and they, at the instance of Pakistan’s ISI, entered India through International Border in Hiranagar sector to carry out disruptive activities in the State. "The offence committed by the accused Raja Muzafar Ahmed is serious as well as heinous. Normally, a person involved in commission of such offence does not deserve leniency and the court can see mitigating circumstances in the case as to how meekly the accused and the co-accused, who is proceeded under Section 512 CrPC, had made their way to police custody", the Court observed.

The Hyderabad city police have claimed that the Harkat-ul-Jehadi-e-Islami (HuJI) was responsible for the twin explosions in the city on August 25, 2007, that killed 43 persons, reports The Hindu. A top police officer said on January 9 that “Narco-analysis tests conducted on Rafi alias Sheik Abdul Kaleem of Hyderabad gave us names of the key persons involved. Now, we are in the process of gathering evidence against them.” In his narco-analysis test, Rafi, a lab technician, said he came to know about the persons behind the blasts while chatting with Khaja, an alleged HuJI activist, through the Internet. As per Khaja’s instructions, he went to the house of one, Imran, here to collect a parcel containing bombs. Later, the parcel was handed over to another person, Gidda Zahid of Salimnagar Colony. “The name of Khaja, along with Shahid alias Bilal, had cropped up in Mecca Masjid blast case as well. We have a fair picture with Rafi’s statement but we cannot completely depend on the narco-analysis test,” the officer explained. Efforts are on to identify the persons whose names Rafi had revealed. The police had already identified the persons behind Mecca Masjid blast as Zabi and Majnu who planted the bombs. Both have been arrested. Another Bangladeshi national, who assisted them in triggering the explosion, is, however, yet to be identified.

The Tamil Nadu Police arrested on January 16-night Nathan alias Suruli alias Thambithurai Parameswaran, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) Tamil Nadu intelligence unit chief, from a hideout at Madipakkam, reports New Indian Express. The police also arrested seven other Sri Lankan nationals, who worked under him as helpers to collect information about anti-LTTE leaders like Varadaraja Perumal and Douglas Devananda, besides posing as traders to buy items like spare parts for two-wheelers and boats to be sent back to Sri Lanka. According to police sources, Suruli, a resident of Jaffna in Sri Lanka, embarked on a Tamil Nadu mission a year ago after his leader Sanjeevi Master ordered him to increase intelligence inputs from the State. Sanjeevi Master is next to Pottu Amman, LTTE’s intelligence wing chief, in hierarchy and is reportedly in charge of the Indian subcontinent.

The Sri Lankan Navy has put in place an underwater defence system between Kachchatheevu and Neduntheevu (Delft Island) as part of efforts to curtail the movement of Sea Tigers [sea wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)], reports The Hindu. Talking to The Hindu on January 22, Commodore Phillip Van Haltren, Naval Officer In-Charge, Tamil Nadu, said he had received the communication from the Sri Lankan Navy (SLN) on the installation of the seawater defence system. The message was passed on to Chief Secretary L. K Tripathy and other departments concerned. All Naval Detachments from Rameswaram to Nagapattinam on the east coast were reportedly alerted. “The message implied there will be serious consequences if fishing boats from Tamil Nadu or elsewhere come in contact with the explosives planted in the water. Hence, the seriousness of the warning message has been immediately sent to the authorities concerned. The fishermen will have to keep away from the danger zone,” Haltren said. Although he said he had no idea what the SLN had in mind, he believed the new strategy was not aimed at Tamil Nadu fishermen but at the LTTE. “An all-out war has begun between the Sri Lankan Government forces and the LTTE. Hence, our fishermen and fishing boats should not run into it [underwater explosives],” he said. “The Indian territory is calm. It would not have any effect in our area, as the area chosen for the underwater defence is well inside their territory,” he said in response to a question.

A female militant of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit, active for the last three years, was arrested by the Doda police on January 24, Tribune reported. She was stated to be very close to LeT ‘divisional commander’, Shabir Ittoo, and actively worked for the outfit in Doda and its adjoining localities. Senior Superintendent of Police, Manohar Singh, while confirming the arrest said 23-year-old Samrina Bano, daughter of Ghulam Nabi Shah of Doda, was undergoing nurse training at the Health Department in Doda. She was very close to the LeT divisional commander and was instrumental in shifting cash consignments and arms and ammunitions for the militants.

Bashir Ahmed Mir, the Harkat ul-Jihad-e-Islami’s (HuJI) ‘commander-in-chief’ for operations across India was shot dead by police in the Doda district on January 25, reports The Hindu. Operating under the code-name “Hijazi,” Pakistan-trained Mir is believed to have ordered a string of strikes across north and south-east India in 2007, including the court complex bombings in Uttar Pradesh, the bombing of the Ajmer Sharif shrine in Rajasthan, and the multiple bombings which took place in Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh. A resident of Chatroo village in Kishtwar tehsil (administrative division), Mir joined the Harkat-ul-Ansar, which later transformed itself into the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), in 1992.

He is believed to have returned to Jammu and Kashmir in 1999, and served with a HuJI unit operating out of the Pir Panjal Mountains in the Doda-Anantnag mountain belt. He was arrested from the village of Kapran in 2000, and served two years under the Public Safety Act until his detention was revoked just before the 2002 Assembly elections. After his release he went underground. In 2004, he was appointed ‘commander-in-chief’ of the HuJI in India.

According to Indian Express, Bastar in Chhattisgarh is emerging as the new training ground for CPI-Maoist cadres from across the country. The People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) is running four camps in the forests of the region where cadres from several states are being given “on the job” training in carrying out attacks and planting explosives. Intelligence reports and documents seized by the Chhattisgarh Police indicate that Bastar is the new epicentre for Maoist extremism and officials suspect that 1,500-2,000 cadres are present in these camps at any given time. Chhattisgarh Director General of Police Vishwaranjan stated that while three of the camps were located in the jungles of Bijapur and Dantewara districts, one camp is believed to be located in the Abujhmarh forests. “According to intelligence inputs received by us, apart from locally recruited cadres, Maoist extremists from other states, including Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, are also being given training,” he said. Apart from 8,000-10,000 armed PLGA and Jan militia in the region, there are also 25,000-35,000 Maoist sympathisers or Sangham members. According to the police chief, Bastar was ideal for such camps as the cadres could be given “on the job” training through real attacks on security forces, planting of explosives, blowing up of government buildings and infrastructure. Guerrilla warfare tactics are also reportedly being taught. Lack of an adequate security apparatus emboldens the extremists to often use trainee militia members in their offensives, the report stated. Bastar has five districts — Narayanpur, Kanker, Bastar, Bijapur and Dantewara — and each has been hit by Maoist violence. “For five districts with an area of over 45,000 sq km, we have just 13 battalions of Central forces, while we need at least 70,” Vishwaranjan said. Of the 13 para-military battalions, 10 are posted in the Bastar region while three are posted in the northern districts. Of the 20 police districts in Chhattisgarh, 16 have been officially acknowledged as being Maoist-affected.

According to Indian Express, the Delhi Police has identified 16 police stations as prone to "Maoist infiltration". 12 of these stations reportedly fall in the north-west police district. The threat has forced the security apparatus to plan for an anti-Naxalite cell in the city, said Intelligence sources. Sources in Delhi Police said senior officers are in touch with their counterparts in the Maoist -affected States such as Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal. "The arrangement is essentially for intelligence sharing to check the spread of ultra-Left extremism in Delhi," a police source said. About the proposed anti-Naxalite cell, sources said it has been planned on the lines of the anti-terror unit of Special Cell. Sources stated that "Unlike the Special Cell, which attempts to thwart terrorist activities in general, the focus of this cell would entirely be on containing Maoist extremism." Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal neither confirmed nor denied the proposal of forming an anti-Naxalite cell but said that the city police are looking into Naxalite menace with "seriousness".

Four militant groups- the Al-Nasireen, Al-Arifeen, Al-Ishtaqlal and Al-Haq- have formed a joint platform called the Mutahida Mahaz Council (MMC) and announced to run a election boycott campaign under it, Kashmir Times reported. In a statement to a local news agency, Haji Barkatullah, joint spokesman of the militant groups, has said that he is the chairman of MMC. "Any action in Kashmir will not depend upon the statement of Hurriyat Conference or United Jihad Council. A decision about the actions will be taken by those militants who are active on ground as these very people are risking their lives fighting for the freedom movement. Therefore, we reject the statements of others and announce the election boycott campaign," he said.

With the killing of four militants of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), including a ‘District Commander’, senior officials of Jammu and Kashmir on January 30 declared the Kulgam district of south Kashmir as a "militancy-free zone", according to Daily Excelsior.
