The ULFA on July 1 mentioned in the editorial of its mouthpiece Freedom that the security of sovereignty of Assam was never a precondition of the group, and it was only an agenda of talks, according to Sentinel. "The security of sovereignty of Asom was never a precondition of the ULFA. It was the media that hyped the issue of sovereignty and projected it as one of our preconditions," the editorial said, and added, "For peace talks with the Government of India, the ULFA had only two preconditions — any talks with the Government of India should be held in a third country and that should be under UN mediation. We, however, dropped these two preconditions also when the PCG went to New Delhi to do the spadework for the peace process."

The Hindu reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has threatened to step up attacks on the police, especially the elite Greyhounds personnel and leaders of the Congress party, if the police resorted to attacks against people to avenge the Chitrakonda ambush in Orissa which left 39 Greyhounds personnel dead. In a statement issued in Hyderabad on July 2, the Maoist spokesman in Andhra Pradesh, Janardhan, said that the statements of Chief Minsiter Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Home Minister K. Jana Reddy on the Chitrakonda incident spoke of the government’s plan to unleash repression and target people believed to be Maoist sympathisers. The spokesperson termed the Chitrakonda ambush as a ‘fitting lesson’ to the Greyhounds personnel who had become a law unto themselves. He further said that the success of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) in carrying out the ambush only proved false the claims that the Maoist movement was wiped out from the State.

Indian Express quoting an intelligence report of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, reports that the Naxalite (left-wing extremist) groups are active in 22 states of the country and are harbouring ambitions of controlling more than a third of India's territories by the end of 2009. Basing its information on literature and pamphlets seized by the security forces in anti-Naxal operations, and also on interrogation of arrested extremists, the report says the Naxal groups are aiming to liberate and control 35 per cent of India's land by the end of 2009. The report points out the naxalite groups have spread their activities to states that had earlier not witnessed any Naxal activities like Delhi, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Gujarat. As many as 39 left-wing extremist groups are currently operating in the country with a combined membership of more than a 100,000, the reports further added. The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) alone accounts for more than 90 per cent of violent incidents.

On July 3, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee ruled out a ban on the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) saying that the government would prefer to tackle them "administratively and politically", reports Telegraph. "We have decided not to ban the Maoists. I had made that clear a few months ago during a meeting of chief ministers at the Prime Minister’s residence," Bhattacharjee said. Pointing out that mere bans were not enough to isolate the Maoists from common people, he added, "Not a single Naxalite can be spotted today in the Naxalbari area of the Siliguri sub-division because of our concerted political campaign against them." The chief minister said the Maoist strongholds were in Bengal bordering Jharkhand, which provided them a safe haven. "After committing crimes in our state, they flee to Jharkhand, making it difficult for us to arrest them", he said. He further said that co-ordinating with Jharkhand in dealing with the Maoists has not yielded "much results".

The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) has accused that the massive daily intrusion of fishermen from Tamil Nadu in southern India into the Sri Lankan waters very near Mannar and Jaffna is posing a major security threat to north Sri Lanka. "They not only poach fish, but smuggle in fuel and other war-like material for the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam)," SLN spokesman Commodore DKP Dassanayake told New Indian Express in Colombo on July 8. For example, between June 6, 2007 and July 7, 2008, as many as 6,839 Indian fishing boats were seen off the north Sri Lankan coast, especially Thalaimannar, Pesalai and Delft island, he said, adding that "These boats carry fuel, bicycle balls and explosives for the LTTE. Several of them have been seen heading towards Vedithalthivu and other places, presently under the control of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. We also learn that each boat gives 20 litres of fuel as a bribe to the LTTE to be able to fish in this area. Just imagine the amount of fuel that the LTTE must be getting on a daily basis from these fishermen."

India on July 12 confirmed that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan's external intelligence agency, had a definite role in the suicide attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul on July 7, Times of India reported. The National Security Adviser, M. K. Narayanan, said on July 12 that "We not only suspect but we have a fair amount of intelligence (on the involvement of Pakistan)… We have no doubt that the ISI is behind this….people of the country deserve to know the facts." He also said "I think we need to pay back in the same coin. We are quite clear in our mind… The people of this country deserve to know the facts rather than being carried away by people who make statements that these are insinuations. There are no insinuations." According to him, "The ISI needs to be destroyed. We made this point, whenever we have had a chance... There might have been some tactical restraint for some time, obviously that restraint is no longer present," he told television channels according to the Press Trust of India. Indicating that the joint anti-terror mechanism with Pakistan had run its course, Narayanan was quoted as saying: "The anti-terror mechanism was one piece of this picture. The hope was that in course of time both sides would share whatever information they have and come up with a holistic idea of what was going on… Talk-talk is better than fight-fight. But it hasn't worked so far. In some way, we haven't arrived at the decision that we should go for fight-fight so let talk-talk continue for the moment."

Times of India reports that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the West Bengal Police on July 16 night arrested a Pakistani national, suspected to be an agent of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), from a hotel in Bagdogra on the outskirts of Siliguri town. Some documents and maps showing details of army installations in north Bengal were recovered from the arrested person identified as Abid Khan alias Samir Ahmed Sagar, who did not possess a passport. A Siliguri sub-divisional court later remanded him to 12 days' custody. Subsequent interrogation revealed that Abid is a resident of Keru village under Bhawan Langra post office in Pakistan's Punjab province. He had been to Suncheri in Nepal, from where he sneaked into India about a week ago via Kakarvitta in eastern Nepal's Jhapa district. During the past week, he visited several places in Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling, from where he probably obtained the documents, which had information on the Binnaguri cantonment and the Hasimara air base. Intelligence sources believe that Abid has already developed a network in the region to get regular information on the defence installations.

After the fifth round of the India-Pakistan composite dialogue on peace and security, Jammu and Kashmir and other Confidence Building Measures (CBMs), Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon told reporters in New Delhi on July 21 that "the composite dialogue process was under stress," according to Daily Excelsior. Menon said the ongoing investigations into the recent Kabul embassy blast had revealed the hand of “elements in Pakistan,” The Hindu reported. Speaking to the media after meeting his Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir, Menon said the dialogue process had come “under strain” because in the “recent past several events have vitiated ties” and some of the leaders in Pakistan had reverted to the “old polemics.” “This sequence of events culminated in July 7 [Kabul embassy blast]. All our information in the ongoing investigation, which still has to continue, points to elements in Pakistan behind the blast.” He described the cease-fire as “under stress” but both sides agreed that it must be “maintained and continued.” He further said there were three pillars to the improved relations with Pakistan — absence of violence, addressing all outstanding issues and creating a cooperative atmosphere. On all three counts, the relationship now comes up short and he listed these as the ceasefire violations, increased infiltration and “incitement of violence within the Indian state of J&K”. Interacting with the media later in the evening, Bashir said his Indian counterpart had not given any evidence and described the charge of Pakistani hand in the Kabul embassy blast as “baseless” and “made first elsewhere” (he later said it was made by National Security Adviser M. K. Narayanan). Bashir reportedly cautioned against treating Islamabad as “on probation” since “we don’t have to prove our credentials to anybody. Pakistan is not the epicentre of terrorism. Please understand that.” He added that “It is imperative to refrain from the blame game. Pakistan was among the first to condemn the Kabul attack. I asked India to provide intelligence or evidence.”

And finally, if this attitude of Mr Soren continues, his fate will the same as that of his other MP, Sunil Mahato”, the communiqué said. Sunil Mahato was killed by the outfit in 2007.

The ‘Q’ Branch of the Tamil Nadu police on July 22 neutralised a major Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) procurement network, seizing five imported Yamaha outboard motors with a 40-horse-power capacity each. In connection with the seizures, the Police team arrested Kumargurubaran, a resident of Chennai, Ramesh, hailing from Ramanathapuram, and Manamohan from Pesalai in Sri Lanka, from near the Kattumanadi bus stop near Manalmelkudi. The motors were meant to be transported to Sri Lanka for the LTTE in a boat kept ready by Ramesh. "The gang had transported the motors from Chennai to Pudukkottai and was planning to take them by sea to Sri Lanka. We are yet to ascertain whose name the import consignment had been booked under and who collected it from the Chennai Port. There are more persons involved in the procurement of the motors and the investigation is on to find them," an unnamed senior Police official told Times of India. He added, "The smuggling for LTTE has been going on in Tamil Nadu. But, of late, we have been detecting more cases. However, LTTE is now more dependent on the supply from India as they are suffering huge losses from the war… They procure these things from all over India and smuggle it via villages along the east coast. The smuggling cases are more in Tamil Nadu because of its geographical proximity. Apart from the procurement for LTTE, there is commercial smuggling also happening between Sri Lanka and India. It is mainly to make profit using the wide differences in pricing of some items in both countries. Smuggling of beedi bundles are mostly for commercial purposes."

The Hindu reports that a Border Security Force (BSF) trooper was killed and a villager injured in intermittent exchange of fire that lasted nearly two hours between the BSF and personnel of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) across the border in West Bengal’s Malda district on July 23. While the BSF trooper died on the spot, the injured civilian was admitted to a hospital in Malda. Out of nearly 100 rounds of fire being exchanged between the two forces only 15 rounds were fired by the BSF in retaliation, an unnamed BSF official said in Kolkata. This was the second exchange of fire between the two forces across West Bengal’s border with Bangladesh within a week. Two BDR soldiers were killed in the previous incident.

In the Doda district, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants shot dead four members of the family of a surrendered militant. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Raghubir Singh, said the militants intruded into the house of Ghulam Hassan Wani, the surrendered militant, in Bari Marmat village, and opened indiscriminate firing on the inmates killing three persons on the spot and injuring two others. Among the dead were Ghulam Hassan Wani, his wife Azeema Begum, 13-year old daughter Ashiva Bano and nephew Tauseef. Wani surrendered in 2002 and was acting as an informer to the security forces. The militants pasted a poster outside the deceased’s house asking the locals not to bury the bodies of the dead and warned of dire consequences if anybody did. However, under police cover, the bodies were later buried by the locals.

Violence was reported from Jammu city on July 24 even as an indefinite curfew was imposed in the city and surrounding areas. Defiance of curfew orders resulted in injuries to at least 35 persons including a large number of security force personnel, according to The Hindu. The death of Kuldip Kumar, a 32-year-old protester on July 23 who was sitting on a hunger strike in support of the demand for restoration of land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board was reportedly the prime instigation for a fresh round of violence. Leela Karan Sharma, the Chairman of Sangharsh Samiti - a conglomerate of political, social and religious outfits formed to demand land in favour of the Shrine Board - said, "We would not allow the martyrdom of Kuldip Kumar to go waste and will take this agitation to its logical conclusion. The agitation will continue till the time the land is given back to the Shrine Board."

One woman was killed and seven persons injured in a series of eight low intensity blasts on July 25 in Bangalore, capital of Karnataka, The Hindu reports. The explosions were reported within 45 minutes from 1.15 pm (IST). The first explosion occurred at a bus stop near the Madivala check post, off the busy Hosur Road, around 1.15 pm. Sudha Ravi, who was waiting for a bus with her husband, was killed on the spot, while two persons were injured. Two more explosives went off in the adjoining Adugodi area, injuring three persons. Similar low-intensity explosions were reported from three places on Mysore Road and at two spots in the heart of the city — near the Mallya Hospital and near the Rashtriya Military School on the Langford Road. At Adugodi, the explosives were planted behind a telephone junction box near a commercial complex under construction and another near a storm water drain. On Mysore Road, the explosives were placed under a power supply transformer near a mall; one near a storm water drain; and the third near a car showroom next to the Regional Transport Office. According to police sources, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) fitted to timer devices were used in all the explosions. Preliminary investigations revealed that ammonium nitrate, bolts and nuts and cement chips were packed into the devices. Sources in the National Bomb Data Centre told The Hindu that the IEDs were almost identical to the ones used in the explosions at the Mecca Masjid, Gokul Chats and the Lumbini Park in Hyderabad, and in the court blasts in Lucknow and Hubli. Though the police have not ruled out the involvement of terrorist groups, Bangalore Police Commissioner Shankar M. Bidari told journalists that "miscreants" had triggered the blasts to "disrupt the peace" in the city. Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, after an emergency Cabinet meeting, announced that no "hard core terrorist group" was involved in the blasts which, he claimed, were carried out to "malign" the Government.

The heads of police of the southern States, who met in Chennai on July 25 to discuss measures to curb the spread of the Maoist movement and a host of other crimes, decided to step up their co-ordination at various levels with periodic meetings, The Hindu reported. As a first step, Superintendents of Police of the border districts of all these States would meet once in three months and share information on the Maoist movement, cyber crime, narcotics trafficking and inter-state criminal activities. The Director General of Police (DGP) of the concerned States would meet once a year and heads of crime branch and Criminal Investigation Department of the southern States would meet once in six months, an official press release said. Discussions at the one-day meeting of the DGPs reportedly revolved around making use of modern technology for police, tackling cyber crime, counterfeit currency, trafficking in women and children, left-wing extremism and idol thefts.

40 people were killed and more than 100 others injured when serial blasts struck different parts of Ahmedabad, the Capital city of Gujarat on July 26-evening, reports The Hindu. Unconfirmed reports said the worst attack occurred near the trauma centre of the government civil hospital, where at least 25 people, including two doctors, were killed. Some eyewitness accounts claimed that it was a “human bomb” attack. The body was said to have been shattered but the incident was not confirmed by the Police, who put the casualties in the hospital attack at six. The police reports indicated that there were 17 blasts in 10 different areas and all, except the minority-dominated Sarkhej and Juhapura, were in the labour-dominated eastern parts of the old city. Most of the blasts occurred in crowded and congested points like traffic circles, near a Hanuman temple where a large number of devotees turn out on Saturdays or near bus stops. The first blast was reported from the Hatkeshwar locality in the Maninagar area at 6.38 pm (IST). Thereafter bombs went off at 7 other places - Bapunagar, Narol, Ishanpur, Saraspur, Sarangpur, Raipur, Sarkhej, Juhaapura - all within the next five to seven minutes. About 40 minutes after the first round of blasts, bombs went off near the trauma centre of the civil hospital and the main portico of the L.G. General Hospital in Maninagar, even as the injured were being rushed to the hospitals. About an hour later, three more blasts were reported from Maninagar and surrounding areas. The bombs were planted on old cycles apparently to avoid being identified. The preliminary reports from the sites indicated those gelatine rods in Tiffin boxes or in cloth bags with timers and tied to cycles were left behind in crowded areas, possibly minutes before the blasts. A couple of vegetable vendors, admitted to hospital with injuries, claimed to have seen a person leaving behind a cycle before the blast.

In a 14-page manifesto e-mailed to the media minutes before the serial bombings, an organisation calling itself the “Indian Mujahideen (IM)” claimed responsibility for the Ahmedabad attacks. Titled “The Rise of Jihad”, the manifesto says the bombings were carried out to avenge the 2002 anti-Muslim violence in Gujarat. “In the light of the injustice and wrongs on the Muslims of Gujarat,” it says, “we advance our jihad and call all our brethren under it to unite and answer these irresolute kafireen [infidels] of India.” It warned of future attacks, complaining that the police “disturbed us by arresting, imprisoning, and torturing our brothers in the name of SIMI [Students Islamic Movement of India].” In a similar document sent minutes before serial bomb strikes in Jaipur (Rajasthan) in May, 2008, the IM had said such bombings were intended “to clearly give our message to Kuffar-e-Hind [the infidels of India] that if Islam and Muslims in this country are not safe then the light of your safety will also go off very soon.” Near-identical language had been earlier used by the IM in a document e-mailed to television stations minutes before the bombing of three trial-court buildings in Uttar Pradesh in November 2007. In its e-mail, the IM said it was retaliating against “wounds given by the idol worshipers of India.” Investigators believe the IM is a loose coalition of elements from the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami (HuJI).

The ‘Q’ branch of the Tamil Nadu Police on July 27 claimed to have neutralised a terrorist module with the arrest of a 39-year-old suspected fundamentalist who allegedly was part of a plot to cause bomb blasts on trains and in Chennai and Tirunelveli. Sheikh Abdul Gafoor, employed in a shop in T. Nagar in Chennai, was arrested from a relative's house at Pettai in Tiruneveli and materials for making improvised explosive devices were seized from him, Times of India reported. "He has confessed to planning to blow up the Tirunelveli collectorate, and plant bombs on trains and in various parts of Chennai," a police officer said. All these were to be carried out on or before August 15. Police said the plot was allegedly hatched in Puzhal jail in Chennai and the kingpin was believed to be Pallavaram Ali Abdullah, a life convict. Abdullah was involved in eight cases, and had visited Pakistan in 1997 for training with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Abdullah, who is in jail since 2003, is a former member of the Jihad Committee and the Islamic Defence Force, both fundamentalist groups active in the last decade. Gafoor, police said, was an expelled member of the Towheed Jamaat, a political organisation dedicated to propagating Islamic religious precepts.

The Government has decided to roll out its 'Mega City Policing' guidelines, according to Times of India. At a high-level meeting chaired by the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on July 27, it was decided to finalise the modalities of the plan at the earliest. Currently, the plan is being implemented with piecemeal allocation of funds to different cities for modernization. "Once the modalities are finalised, these seven cities will have a separate exclusive plan and budegetary allocation for policing. Besides improving the standard of day-to-day policing, the plan will also help these cities strengthen their intelligence gathering capabilities," an unnamed senior home ministry official said. The plan will be finalised keeping in mind specific characteristics of the seven cities. "The anonymity afforded by lifestyles of mega-cities and the ease with which illegal immigrants can mingle with the local population has to be plugged by taking appropriate steps to contain their potential for mischief and unlawful activities. This needs special plans for each big city that has been facing terror threats," the official added. After the plan is implemented in the seven mega cities, Jaipur, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Kanpur will also be brought within its ambit. The idea - which centres around exclusive city-specific policing plan with a separate budget - is aimed at providing helicopters, sophisticated gadgets and aerial surveillance equipment to police in seven big cities. The plan had a limited launch in 2005 and the identified cities - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Delhi - were given some money to modernise their police forces. Five of these cities - Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad – have witnessed terrorist attacks in the past couple of years.

However, the Superintendent of Police in Raipur, Amit Kumar, said "But Dhruv was not our informer and Maoists wrongly killed him."

The Maoists have issued death warrants against police informers and those who try to sell and purchase land cultivated by tribals in the region in general and specifically between Pandratala and Mukundapur under Kolnora block in the Rayagada district, The Hindu reported.

Times of India reports that central intelligence agencies and the Delhi Police arrested a Bangladeshi national, identified as Mohammad Hakim, from the New Delhi railway station on July 29-night. Hakim, who was reportedly carrying some explosive material, is believed to be part of the module linked to the recent terrorist attacks in Bangalore and Ahmedabad. ‘‘Hakim is being taken to Siliguri by a team of IB and special cell officers. They suspect that other members of the module could be hiding there. His interrogation has also thrown up vital facts about the low-intensity serial blasts reported in Mehrauli and Malviya Nagar recently,’’ said an unnamed senior police officer. Hakim has told the police that he was trained in bomb making by one Mohammad Ansari, who, too, is a Bangladeshi national. Ansari is also believed to have been trained in making low-intensity explosives in Bangladesh. ‘‘The agencies suspect that the module was active in West Bengal and used to sneak into Bangladesh. The disclosure of Hakim is important also from the point of view that the last terror e-mail about Surat bombs was sent from Kolkata,’’ said another officer who is part of the team.

A local regional language television channel claimed to have received a letter sent in the name of "Harkat-ul-Jehad" explaining the "reasons" behind the bomb blasts in different parts of the country. As aired by the television channel, the letter was written in Hindi and it carried the stamp of the Shah Alam post office in the city. It declared that its "mission" in Gujarat had been "successful and completed" but warned that it would come back to the State if "our threats are not taken seriously." It claimed that the Harkat was a "Hindu organisation" and was causing bomb blasts in different parts of the country only to "avenge" the killing of Muslims in the Gujarat riots and would continue to take the revenge by attacking other cities and towns in the country. It said the "real terrorists" were Chief Minster Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janta Party leader L.K. Advani, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international general secretary Pravin Togadia, spiritual leader Asaram Bapu, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Bajrang Dal and the VHP. It also claimed that after the Jaipur blasts, the Harkat had informed the Gomtipur police about the Ahmedabad blasts.
