The Mumbai Police crime branch has identified two non-resident Indians (NRIs) as having provided part of the funds that sustained the operations of the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Both NRIs had bank accounts in the Gulf and these were being used to channel funds to IM members in Mumbai, the police said. The police have frozen both accounts and issued lookout notices against the two NRIs. The crime branch said the NRIs opened accounts in a nationalised bank about a decade ago, and absconding IM operative Riyaz Bhatkal kept withdrawing small amounts regularly in the city for terror operations. The police have identified six other accounts which were allegedly used by IM operatives. "Of the eight accounts under our scanner, two are in the name of NRIs in the Gulf. These two accounts were opened in a nationalised bank in the late ‘90s, and small amounts of money were deposited and withdrawn from them regularly by Bhatkal in the city. The amounts ranged from INR 5,000 to INR 50,000 at a time. A total of INR 27 lakh was in the accounts when we froze both on October 4; we issued the lookout notices a day later," said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria. The Crime Branch has also seized a cheque for INR 1 lakh in the name of Bhatkal from one of the arrested. "Riyaz Bhatkal had been given signed blank cheques for the purpose of withdrawing money from both accounts whenever he wanted. We have seized one such cheque for Rs 1 lakh issued in Bhatkal’s name from one of the other arrested accused," Maria added.

The Tamil Nadu assembly on November 12 passed a unanimous resolution asking the Union Government to press for negotiations between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan government as well as an immediate cease-fire in the island nation, reports IANS. ”It has been unanimously resolved that the Indian government should use its good offices to get the Sri Lankan regime to agree to an immediate ceasefire to alleviate the sufferings of Tamils (in the northern part of the island) since the other (warring) side has offered to do so. This house demands the immediate halt of military operations and start political, peaceful negotiations to find a solution to the Tamil question,” a statement issued in Chennai said. The resolution was moved by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. The statement added that “over 700 million agitated and angry Indian Tamils are united (with their brethren in Sri Lanka) and affected by the sad state of affairs”. “The Indian government must make efforts to assure the Tamils in Sri Lanka of the security of their life, property…and an equal (right to) exist (along with the majority Sinhalese),” the resolution said. “The endeavours of the centre and the state to send relief materials to the suffering Tamils through the auspices of international organisations like the Red Cross and the United Nations will not alleviate the travails adequately,” it added. The resolution came while Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse was in New Delhi for an official visit.

There are no child soldiers.

In recent years, the ULFA and NDFB extended help to the Maoist groups active in Bhutan by providing them with explosives. These facts came to light following the arrest of a Bhutanese national, Tenzing Zengpo, during investigations into the serial blasts. Zengpo was arrested along with one of the suspects in the case in Guwahati city. During interrogation, the Bhutanese national admitted the long association they had with the ULFA and NDFB. Sources revealed that Zengpo was earlier the general secretary of the Druk National Congress of Bhutan and is currently associated with Maoist groups active in Bhutan.

Hazaribagh distict Superintendent of Police, Praveen Kumar Singh, who led the operation in Chouparan, said the arrests had neutralised the rebel faction formed sometime in 2006. "We have arrested all its members, but one," he said, adding, that a huge cache of arms and ammunition were also recovered. Singh informed that the SPM was formed by two top-rung rebels - Sahendra Bhuiyan and Nitish Yadav - who apparently developed ideological differences with the CPI-Maoist leadership. The group had been active in Chatra, Hazaribagh, and Gaya in Bihar, for two years.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) continues to be an extremely potent, most lethal and well-organised terrorist force in Sri Lanka and has strong connections in Tamil Nadu and certain pockets of southern India, said the tribunal, set up under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and which was upholding the ban imposed on the outfit by the Centre on May 14, 2008, The Hindu reports. Justice Vikramajit Sen of the Delhi High Court, who was on the tribunal, agreed with the Centre’s submissions that "the LTTE continues to use Tamil Nadu as the base for carrying out smuggling of essential items like petrol and diesel, besides drugs, to Sri Lanka." It was submitted that, "The Government of India is apprehensive that unless the ban on the LTTE continues, acts of aggression on Indian soil are likely to occur." The tribunal took into consideration the submission that "the LTTE will continue to remain a strong terrorist movement and stimulate the secessionist sentiments to enhance its support base in Tamil Nadu as long as Sri Lanka continues to remain in a state of ethnic strife torn by the demand for Tamil Eelam which finds a strong echo in Tamil Nadu due to the linguistic, cultural, ethnic and historical affinity between the Sri Lankan Tamils and the Indian Tamils in Sri Lanka." The LTTE was first banned in India following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.

Asking India to withdraw all its military assistance to Sri Lankan forces against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the outfit claimed it was a "true" friend of New Delhi which must revoke the ban on it, according to PTI. "It (India) must stop all military assistance given to Sri Lanka, remove the ban on our movement and recognise our struggle. I like to point out that our movement and our people are true friends of India," the LTTE political head B. Nadesan said in an e-mailed interview to an India-based magazine from an undisclosed location. Reiterating that the outfit was in favour of a cease-fire and peace talks he said, "The (Sri Lankan) government and military chiefs insist on a military solution while we have been saying that a solution can be reached only through ceasefire and peace talks. If the Sri Lankan government continues to believe that an ethnic issue in a country can be solved by a military solution alone, it will only lead to the oppressed ethnic people achieving their aspirations with help from other countries." On the health condition of LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, Nadesan said, "Our leader is in excellent health and is leading the current war. The comments (that he will not live long) are an expression of the hatred for the Tamil people and our movement."

A cadre of the ‘finance wing’ of the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), identified as Wanpalei Ryngkhlem alias Palei, was arrested by the Meghalaya Police from Polo area in capital Shillong on November 25, according to Shillong Times. Police said the outfit is conducting an extortion drive in various parts of Shillong. The modus operandi, according to police, is that HNLC ‘authorises’ certain people to collect money and then send it to its leaders who are camping in Bangladesh. The coal belt regions in Jaintia Hills and West Khasi Hills are the other areas where the HNLC has launched extortion drive to fill its coffers. Police sources said the HNLC had struck deals with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) for such a drive. The report added that top HNLC leaders holed up in Bangladesh are reportedly facing severe crisis of cash and cadres, forcing them to join hands with the NSCN and NDFB and rope in certain individuals who could help the Khasi outfit in extorting money from businessmen, coal traders and others in the State.

A senior unnamed police official said LAEF militants usually go to Nagaland to procure arms from the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) cadres. The NSCN-IM cadres also come to the Garo Hills and West Khasi Hills to help LAEF cadres with extortion and abduction. The report added that the LAEF had already set up two ‘commands’ — one in East Garo Hills and another in West Khasi Hills. The LAEF could not establish a third command in Ri-Bhoi as nine LAEF cadres were arrested by the police, when they were trying to set up camp in the area. The police claim that Naga militants are assisting LAEF cadres in East Garo Hills and West Khasi Hills districts. "While the NSCN (I-M) cadres supply arms to LAEF, the latter has to part with the major portion of extortion amount collected from coal laden trucks and businessmen in Garo Hills and West Khasi Hill," the police added. The police said though the strength of trained LAEF cadres is 50, the arrested militants claimed that the total strength, including the untrained cadres, would be around 200.

Among those killed were chief of the Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS), Hemant Karkare, Additional Commissioner of Police (east Mumbai), Ashok Kamte, and senior police officer Vijay Salaskar. The terrorists, who apparently came in by boats, struck at 10 places in south Mumbai including five-star hotels, hospitals and train stations, according to NDTV. Among the locations attacked were: Trident Hotel, Taj Hotel, Nariman House, Wadi Bunder, Cama hospital, GT hospital, VT station, Bootleggers pub, Girgaum and Metro cinema. There were also reports of a low intensity blast in Ville Parle and grenade attack in Santa Cruz. Two blasts have been reported in the Napean Sea road area of south Mumbai. There is a hostage situation in at least two locations - the Taj and the Trident hotels – when last reports came in. In the Taj Colaba, at least 100 people are believed to be trapped probably held hostage by terrorists. Some of these are Israeli and Canadian nationals. The terrorists reportedly came in by sea from Karachi in Pakistan. A boat laden with explosives was recovered later at night off the Gateway of India. Five suspected terrorists were killed in two separate incidents overnight including two at Girgaum in south Mumbai during a gun battle and two sten guns have been recovered from them, police said. While NSG and Military Commandos have reportedly entered the Taj and Trident hotels, at least 800 Army personnel have been deployed at various locations in Mumbai. "Encounter is on between police and terrorists at Taj and Trident. Our people have surrounded them and the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) team has arrived at the Taj hotel," said the Director General of Police, A. N. Roy. Many foreigners have reportedly been held hostage by the terrorists. "Gunmen took 15 hostages and half of them foreigners," said an eye-witness at the Taj hotel. "Gunmen wanted anyone with British or American passport," said another eye-witness. At least four terrorists were holed up in the Taj Hotel where 40 to 50 guests were still trapped, Major R K Hooda, General Officer Commanding of Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat, said. Speaking to NDTV, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R. R. Patil said, "There is no plan for talks with the terrorists." Claiming to have some "vital leads", he expressed confidence of a breakthrough soon. Intelligence sources said that a foreign hand is fully evident in these attacks. They have also reportedly arrested a Pakistan national from Chowpatty area in the city. Police chief A. N. Roy said, "There is no indication so far of the identity of the terrorists." He said that the terrorists were highly armed, level of weapons and training suggest that they are not locals. An unknown outfit, Deccan Mujahideen, has sent an email to news organizations claiming that it carried out the Mumbai attacks. One of the hidden terrorist inside the Oberoi hotel identified as Sahadullah demanded that all arrested Mujahideen should be released, while giving an interview to an unidentified news channel on November 26, reports Times of India. "There are seven of us inside Hotel Oberoi," and "We want all Mujahideens held in India released and only after that we will release the people… Release all the Mujahideens, and Muslims living in India should not be troubled", Sahadullah said.

However, the Superintendent of Police Rajesh Singh said the decision to withdraw the camps was taken earlier by the Government to ensure school children could continue their studies (there were three police camps at schools) and also for their posting in Jhargram municipality for the civic poll on November 30.

Maharashtra Police investigators said that they have evidence that operatives of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) carried out the Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks in Mumbai. An injured militant, identified as Ajmal Amir Kamal, was arrested during the fighting at the Taj Mahal hotel, is suspected to be a LeT cadre and a resident of Faridkot near Multan in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Reportedly two other citizens of Pakistan have also been arrested in Mumbai on November 27. All three of them, identified themselves as members of a LeT Fidayeen squad, the sources said. Based on the interrogation of the suspects, the investigators believe that one or more groups of the LeT left Karachi in a merchant ship early on November 26. On the same night, an estimated 12 terrorists left the ship in a small boat and travelled some 10 nautical miles to reach Mumbai’s Gateway of India. After reaching Gateway of India, the group split up into at least six groups, each focussing on a separate target - Mumbai’s Nariman House, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus rail station, the Cama hospital, the Girgaum seafront, and the Taj and Trident hotels.

A spokesman for Prime Minister’s House said on November 28 that a representative of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) will visit India instead of the Director General to facilitate investigations into the Mumbai terrorist attacks, Daily Times reported. Reports earlier said that Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had requested that the ISI chief be sent to India. The request apparently came after ‘confirmation’ of Pakistani nationals’ involvement in the multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai incidents and President Asif Ali Zardari’s pledge to co-operate with India in exposing and apprehending the masterminds behind the attacks. Zardari condemned the attacks while talking to Singh over the telephone, and said Pakistan and India should not fall into the ‘trap of militants’. "Manmohan Singh had requested that Pakistan send the ISI director general to India for the exchange of information on the attacks," said an earlier Government statement, adding that Prime Minister Gilani had also condemned the attacks while talking to Dr. Singh over the telephone. In his conversation with Gilani, Dr. Singh said that preliminary reports on the attacks ‘point to Karachi’, and called for increased intelligence sharing and co-operation for a joint strategy to counter terrorism, according to the Government statement. Gilani offered his Government’s full support in jointly combating terrorism and help in investigating the Mumbai attacks.

The only militant arrested during the multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai, identified as Ajmal, revealed during interrogation on November 28 that boats in which they came from Karachi in Pakistan were arranged by an unidentified front man of mafia don Dawood Ibrahim, who runs several custom clearing houses in Mumbai, reports Indian Express. Dawood's gang arranged boats and quickly transferred arms, ammunition and plastic explosives to it, which took the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants for carrying out attacks in Mumbai. Dawood Ibrahim’s gang also provided complete pictures of the Taj hotel, Oberoi-Trident hotel and the Chhabad house in which the Israelis reside. Mumbai Police and central security agencies have launched a massive manhunt for the Colaba-based businessman considered as a henchman of Dawood Ibrahim. The suspect looks after some customs clearing mechanism and also indulges in diesel smuggling for the mafia don, the sources claimed.
