On February 7, the Bangalore Police arrested nine Kerala-based terrorists of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) outfit in connection with the July 25, 2008 serial bomb blasts in which a woman was killed and eight persons were injured, reports The Hindu. They were identified as Abdul Sattar alias Sainuddin, his son Sarfuddin, Abdul Jabber, Mujeeb Mohiddin, Faizal Abdul Rehman, Abdul Jaleel Moosa, Manaf Mohammad alias Rahees, Badruddin Noor Ahmed and Sakariya. Most of the arrested had been named in the charge-sheet filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Kerala Police before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court at Thalassery. Four others from Kerala — Abdul Raheem, son-in-law of Abdul Sattar, Mohammad Fayas Hamsa, Fayis Abdul Rahaman and Mohammad Yasin alias Rimon — who were also involved in the case — were killed in an encounter with the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir when they were attempting to cross over to Pakistan between October 4 and October 7 in 2008. Investigations revealed that the terrorists had formed a unit, the Shahbuddin Ghori Brigade, of the IM to orchestrate destructive activities in south India. Sattar was the brain behind the microchip-based timer devices used in several blasts across the country. Explosives for the Bangalore blasts were prepared in Mohiddin’s house at Bommasandra in Bangalore. When the plan was finalised, Sattar and the other accused brought ammonium nitrate, nuts, bolts, printed circuit boards and other materials from Kannur in Kerala and stashed them away in Mohiddin’s house, said the Police. The Police officials also said that the accused had three motives: to tarnish Bangalore’s iconic status acquired after the Information Technology boom; its economic prosperity; and Karnataka being a Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled State. They were also involved in several other cases, including killings, in Kerala, the officials added.

A top al Qaeda commander, who was reported killed in a US drone strike in 2008, has appeared in a 20-minute video in Arabic received by BBC in London, warning India of more Mumbai-style terror attacks if it tried to attack Pakistan, reports Times of India. "India should know that it will have to pay a heavy price if it attacks Pakistan," Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, reportedly to be al Qaeda's military commander in Afghanistan and ranked behind Number 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri. Yazid, who the Pakistani military said may have been killed in August 2008, in the Bajaur Agency, said: "The Mujahideen will sunder your armies into the ground, like they did to the Russians in Afghanistan” he said and added, “They will target your economic centres and raze them to the ground." The al Qaeda leader is said to have been involved in a number of terrorist attacks, including the 2008 Danish embassy bombings, in Pakistan and had claimed the responsibility of assassinating former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

According to Times of India, an Indian from Villupuram in Tamil Nadu held captive by militants in Afghanistan for nearly four months is dead, his family and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on February 9 in New Delhi.

India on February 13 said certain actions taken by Pakistan with regard to the Mumbai terror attacks were a “positive development,” The Hindu reported. It, however, urged Islamabad to take credible action of dismantling the terror infrastructure on its territory. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) offered to share “whatever” it can after examining the issues raised by Pakistan in its communication to the Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad. “They are still in the process of investigating the attacks, and have taken certain actions, including the arrest of some of those involved, and filing a first information report. This is a positive development,” the MEA said. The MEA stated that the information was communicated “officially” by the Pakistan Foreign Secretary to the dossier that India gave to Pakistan on January 5. “The Government of India will now examine the issues raised in the response by Pakistan. After that examination, we will share whatever we can with Pakistan,” said the statement.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said if the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) laid down arms, India would intervene and arrange for a negotiated settlement to the ethnic issue, according to Times of India. "Our (Congress) policy is clear. LTTE is an armed militant group. They must announce that they are willing to lay down arms and are prepared for talks. Simultaneously, the Sri Lankan Government should suspend its military offensive," he told a public meeting organised by the party at Chennai on February 15. "Indian Government will definitely arrange for a dialogue if the LTTE lays down arms and came forward for talks. A good solution can be found to the 40 lakh Tamils in Sri Lanka," he added. The minister also criticised the LTTE for not utilising the recent 48-hour cease-fire proposed by the Sri Lankan Government to allow people to move to safer areas and come for talks.

Mumbai was one of the 320 worldwide locations on the list of potential targets for commando-style terror strikes, The Guardian reported on February 19, according to Daily Times. The report suggested that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the outlawed terrorist group that planned much of the attack from Pakistan, “had ambitions well beyond causing mayhem in India”. “Western intelligence agencies have accessed the computer and email account of Lashkar’s communications chief, Zarar Shah, and found a list of possible targets, only 20 of which were in India,” Guardian reported. Two of the November 2008 attack’s key planners – Shah and Lashkar’s operations chief, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi – are now in police custody in Pakistan, it said. The Guardian also said “there has been some speculation that raids in Spain which netted 12 men – an Indian and 11 Pakistanis – were a result of the investigations into Lashkar’s role in the Mumbai attacks”.

In a report submitted in Parliament on February 24, the Standing Committee on Defence recommended to constitute a "Federal Central Intelligence Agency", which will even have the military spy network under its control, Indian Express reported. The report stated, "Lack of coordination among different intelligence gathering agencies including those of the military intelligence resulted in the loss of precious lives of defence service and police forces personnel as well as those of civilians". In its recommendation to the Government, the committee said immediate steps must be taken to constitute a central spy agency that will also have the tri-service (Indian Army, Indian Air force, Indian Navy) intelligence gathering network under its gambit. It asked the Government to put in place an effective mechanism for establishing better coordination and jointness between the Coast Guard and the Navy. It also asked the Government to set up a committee to "reorganise, reform and restructure the armed forces" on the basis of the Kargil review committee report and a Group of Ministers report on security of 2001.

On February 25, the Mumbai Police filed a chargesheet against 47 accused persons in the case of November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, reports The Hindu. The 47 include 35 wanted Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists from Pakistan, the lone arrested terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman alias Kasab and arrested Indian nationals Fahim Ansari and Mohammad Sabahuddin. The 11, 280 pages chargesheet includes the names of trainers, people aboard Al-Husseini (the ship which sailed from Karachi carrying the terrorists), those involved in purchasing boats, and those who were present at training and lodging sites. At a press conference in Mumbai, the Joint Commissioner (Crime) of Police, Rakesh Maria, named top LeT leaders Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi, Abu Hamza, Abu Kaahfa, Zarar Shah and Hafiz Mohammed Saeed among the 35 listed. The wanted list also has names of two Pakistan army personnel, including a Major-General. However, it had to be ascertained whether these two belonged to the army or to the LeT hierarchy, Maria said. The chargesheet contains 2202 witness statements, including those of officers of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. It incorporates forensic evidence, fingerprint reports, and documentary and oral evidence collected in India and abroad. Transcripts of communication among the terrorists and their handlers, CallPhonex and Global Positioning System (GPS) records, and purchase and sale details of the Yamaha outboard motor also constitute the evidence. Meanwhile, Maria said that the terrorist attacks were the handiwork of the LeT. The role of its marine wing was established after the trawler Kuber was taken over. However, the chargesheet did not mention any role of Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

A top Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadre, identified as Sadiq Sheikh, who is in Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) custody, revealed on February 27 (today) in front of IBN7 TV, the modus operandi of the Delhi blasts on October 29, 2005, and Mumbai blasts on July 11, 2006. “All five of us arranged local train passes for the first class compartments beforehand. We also had local train-timetable with us so that we could find out the train as per our convenience," said Sadiq in the recorded confession. "We purchased bags and pressure cookers in Mumbai. On the day of blast that is on 11 July, 2006, all five of us assembled and we filled seven cookers with explosives. We kept the bombs ready. We had planned the bomb to blast at 6:30 pm,” he confessed. He also confessed to masterminding the pre-Diwali blasts in Delhi on October 29, 2005, saying "Sarojini Nagar, Paharganj, Govindpuri were the targets for the blast. We used to stay in a flat at Jasola. Atif, Shadab, Aarij, Shakeel and Sakib were involved in the group. I used to accompany them in making bombs. I and Atif were now trained in making bombs. I left for my native place before the Delhi blast and on the day itself I got the news of the blasts in the Capital city." Sadiq was one of the first IM cadres to be arrested by Mumbai Police in October 2008. His interrogation led to the subsequent arrests of 20 other IM cadres. The ATS had secured the custody of Sadiq on February 21, 2009, in connection with the July 2006 serial blasts.
