Recent investigations have also revealed that IM's Bihar module, was not the "latest" but the "oldest" module formed by the terror outfit, as reported on July 4, by The Times of India. "The Bihar module was the first one to come up under the tutelage of Yasin Bhatkal and Mohammad Tariq Anjum Hasan," said a source. "However, as this module was more ideologically inclined and was part of the core group, the other modules, those in Pune and Beed in Maharashtra and Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh were tasked with executing the terror attacks across the country till 2008. It was only when these modules were either eliminated or busted that IM fell back on their recruits from Samastipur-Darbhanga and Nalanda," the source added.

A Police officer probing the February 13, 2012, attack on an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi has claimed that journalist Syed Mohammad Ahmed Kazmi, arrested for allegedly aiding the attack, told investigators that the module behind the attack belonged to the Quds Force which conducts overseas operations for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Indian Express. “During his interrogation, Kazmi mentioned that the Iranian suspects belonged to the Quds Force but we have little to prove this claim in court. Until the four suspects are arrested, nothing much can be said. If necessary, we will seek the help of Kenyan authorities to join the dots,” said a senior officer who is investigating the attack.

According to Kazmi’s interrogation report, Houshang Afshar Irani, who allegedly stuck a magnetic bomb on the Israeli embassy vehicle carrying Tal Yehoshua Koren, had initially planned to strike on January 22 but deferred it at the last moment. According to Kazmi’s interrogation report, Houshang Afshar Irani, who flew to Kuala Lumpur from Delhi on the day of the attack, was scheduled to travel to Tehran via Doha on January 22, the original date for the attack. Earlier, investigators had linked the Delhi attack to a botched terror attack in Bangkok on February 14 and blamed it on a module headed by Sadaghatzadeh Masoud, arrested in Kuala Lumpur on February 15 as he tried to flee. Red corner notices have already been issued against the three suspects — Houshang Afshar Irani, Syed Ali Sadr Mahdian and Abolghasemi Mohammad Reza — who are believed to be in Iran.

The jailed mastermind of November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attack, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, is still active, commanding the main Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) communication centre from within Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, with one of his five jailed associates, Hanzullah, given the task of reviving terror groups in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) through Fahadullah, Pakistani LeT ‘commander’ in Sopore in Baramulla District of J&K, according to Times of India. This came to light after J&K Police neutralized, as reported earlier, a recruitment module of LeT and arrested seven local recruits to the terror outfit on July 3. "Local militants were recruited with the aim of building a network of LeT operatives to be tasked with executing various terrorist acts," said Sopore Superintendent of Police (SP) Imtiyaz Hussain. "They were in criminal conspiracy with one Pakistani terrorist, Fahadullah, who operates from Sopore. Fahadullah was receiving directions from one Hanzullah, a LeT commander based in Pakistani jail," he added.

Army on July 8 said militants are likely to target Security Forces (SFs) in busy and heavily populated areas with the aim of causing harm to innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, according to Daily Excelsior. “Inimical elements are likely to fire upon security forces in busy populated areas and incite them to open fire so that it could lead to death or injuries to innocent civilians and cause collateral damage,” General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Om Prakash said in a statement. The GOC said: "There are inputs of large concentration of terrorists in launch pads across the LoC [Line of Control] which indicates likelihood of increased attempts at infiltration in the future." Commenting on the recent operations in Kupwara forests, the GOC said items recovered from the six killed militants indicate that either they were a receiving group or had freshly infiltrated.

Bruce Riedel, Senior Fellow Foreign Policy at Brookings Institution, considers Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to be more dangerous than al Qaeda, by Hindustan Times reported on July 10. He commented, "With al Qaeda on the ropes, LeT, with the help of its Pakistani backers, is now probably the most dangerous terror group in the world”. According to him, the November 26, 2008 (26/11) attack by ten LeT terrorists on multiple targets in Mumbai was the most significant and innovative terrorist attack since 9/11. The Mumbai attack, he wrote, marked the maturation of LeT from a Punjabi-based Pakistani terror group targeting India exclusively to a member of the global Islamic jihad targeting the enemies of al Qaeda.

Zar, the source added, had asked his accomplices to buy Indian SIM cards from the Valley on fake identity cards and then sent them to the training camp in Karachi, where the 10 terrorists were preparing for the November 26, 2008 (26/11) attacks on Mumbai. The officials refused to give more details about Zar saying, "All we know so far is that he was an active Lashkar commander in J&K during 26/11. His job was limited to procuring SIM cards, so his name never figured in our earlier investigations," said the source. Earlier, Indian agencies had arrested four Police Officers in Jammu and Kashmir, including Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh, who reportedly had connections with the LeT and had arranged 22 SIM cards, out of which a few had been used in 26/11. Sources say that Zar might have used Sheikh and others for procuring these cellphone connections. Agencies are investigating the link between Zar and Sheikh. Sheikh was arrested by agencies in December 2008. Sheikh, sources say, was working for police, but had joined LeT helping the organization in militancy activities in the Valley. The other three Police officers, who were found involved in illegal activities, were identified by agencies as Riyaz, Mukhtar and Ilyas.

Jundal also told his interrogators that the group was planning to push hundreds of trained gunmen and weapons into Kashmir. "The group wants to revive militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly make its presence felt in urban areas," the source further said. He told his interrogators that the United Jehad Council (UJC), an amalgam of terror groups that operates out of Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), was making elaborate plans to push fresh groups of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir through non-traditional routes along the Line of Control (LoC). Jundal revealed that these groups were planning to enter Kashmir through Poonch and Rajouri in the Jammu region. These militants, as per the LeT plans, will then be sent to different parts of India where they will target places of worship and other crowded spots. "Peace in Kashmir has in particular upset the Lashkar. The Lashkar leadership has asked the UJC commander (Syed Salahuddin who also heads the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen) to pull up its socks," the source quoted Jundal as saying.

Dawood Ibrahim and his aides have a major stake in the ship-breaking industry in India, according to an intelligence report by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), reports The Times of India. The report says some Pakistani nationals involved with the Dawood Company (D Company) based in London (UK) and the UAE have a major stake in India’s ship-breaking industry, investing crores of rupees in the environmentally hazardous industry based in Alang, Gujarat. Intelligence sources said the Pakistani nationals fix deals by paying in hard cash with the collusion of corrupt local officials. Earlier, Intelligence agencies have briefed an inter-ministerial committee in Delhi in February 2012 about the entry of Dawood's aides into the industry and the potential security threat implications, said sources in the Directorate of Naval Intelligence. D-Company men smuggle contraband, arms and explosives with the participation of foreign agents during their ship dismantling operations, the report says. Dawood's men use money laundering to fund the deals and many end-of-life vessels that arrive at the ship breaking yards in Gujarat simply disappear from anchorage after a short while.

General Officer Commanding of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Om Prakash on July 17 said that militants are planning suicide attacks on Security Forces (SFs), according to Daily Excelsior. Referring to the July 7, 2012, Pampore (Pulwama District) attack, in which an Army trooper was killed and another injured, he stated, "It is an alarming situation. The intelligence reports suggest that they were two Fidayeen (suicide squad) who carried out the attack on the Army in Pampore. Intelligence agencies, as recently as a week ago, have reported that militants are planning to carry out Fidayeen attacks and snatch the weapon of security forces," said the General. In another context he said that normally militancy in North Kashmir is higher than South Kashmir due to infiltration through the Line of Control (LoC), support base and huge forest area. "But of late there have been two attacks on police, one on army in Pampore, two grenade attacks and threatening posters against Panches and Sarpanches which suggest that they are targeting South Kashmir now", he added. The General said that due to slower pace of operations and reduced presence of SFs in South Kashmir they occupied the space and are operating there.

HSBC was found to be doing business with Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Bank, whose key founder "was an early financial benefactor of al-Qaida," the US senate's probe team has said after a year-long probe into the bank affairs. HSBC has also been accused of indulging in various questionable transactions with entities from countries like Mexico, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Syria, Cuba, Sudan, Burma, Cayman Islands, Japan and Russia. Specifically, the bank has been alleged to have provided US dollars and banking services to some banks in Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh despite links to terrorist financing. HSBC, with its headquarters in London, allowed affiliates in countries such as Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh to move billions of dollars in suspect funds into the United States without adequate controls.

The GOC said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is making local recruitments in Kashmir to strengthen their depleting cadres. He said that due to the strengthening of counter-infiltration grid over the years infiltration has become very difficult for them. "And another reason for this is that they want to give indigenous face to the militancy as at international level when a Pakistani militant is killed in Kashmir it makes clear that Pakistan is fighting here", he added. The GOC said that terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is intact to support terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that around 550-600 militants are waiting at various launch pads near the LoC in PoK to infiltrate into the valley. "They are looking for chances to infiltrate and attempts are being made which we have foiled. However, we cannot guarantee zero infiltration but we will be able to counter their designs," he said. The GOC said that after the continuous strengthening of counter-infiltration grid along the LoC and operations across the Valley only 280-300 militants have been left. He said that bringing down the number of militants operating in Kashmir valley was due to sustained efforts by SFs. While comparing the level of militants with the year 2000, he said that in that year 2000 militants were killed by SFs in Kashmir.

Arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal has disclosed that LeT founder and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed used to often meet top Pakistan Army corps commanders in Pakistan to plan major terror strikes in India, as reported on July 19, by The Asian Age. Highly-placed government sources said India’s key intelligence agencies as well as the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) had information about Saeed’s meetings with top Pakistan Army commanders, and that Jundal’s disclosures had only reconfirmed it further. In fact, Jundal claims that at one such meeting top Army officers categorically instructed Saeed that the Mumbai case should be a “fidayeen attack”, and that no one should be caught alive. The Army officers were fully aware, he added, that this could cause considerable embarrassment to Pakistan.

India wants a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to be decided by consensus with all "stakeholders", where the big players in weapons trade like the US and China sharing obligations to prevent illicit trafficking of arms to terrorist groups, as reported on July 20, by The Times of India. This unregulated global trade in weapons is not only huge, some figures suggest USD 2.2 billion worth of weapons made their way to countries under arms embargo in the last decade, but, also contributes enormously to enhancing the lethal power of terrorist groups and organized crime syndicates. As discussions for a treaty at the UN enter its final week — the treaty is being discussed at a special session from July 2-27, sources said India wants arms brokers to be included in the purview of the ATT, but want to keep ammunition out of the pact. The Indian stand on the issue is closer to the US, although, like China, New Delhi too wants to keep subjective aspects like human rights outside the treaty's ambit. On the scope of the treaty, India has proposed a seven-plus-one list of weapons, including, battle tanks, armed combat vehicles, large calibre artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers and small arms and light weaponry. Of these, it would be easier to get a consensus on most since all of them don't make to organized crime networks. The difficulty will be including the last item in the treaty. India is clear that it wants arms brokering to be covered by the treaty because it is closely related to transfer of illicit weapons. As one of the largest weapons importers in the world, India says it is willing to accept obligations to regulate weapons imports, but there should be a balance of obligations among exporters. India, though, is clearly being ambitious because it fancies itself becoming an exporter in future.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police registered a fresh case against the handler of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal "for allegedly conspiring to carry out more deadly attacks on India, including Delhi", The Times of India reported on July 21. Sources confirmed that a fresh FIR has been registered against Jundal for "criminal conspiracy" as he disclosed about his collaboration with LeT in hatching terror plots for New Delhi and other parts of the country. "Jundal has given details about further plans of LeT in India which took shape in Pakistan during his presence. We are investigating about the places on target," said the officer. The sources also claimed that Jundal disclosed that the plan to attack the Nashik Police Academy (Maharashtra) is on as a team of LeT terrorists is in India, and they may strike at the academy anytime. "Some members of Lashkar plan to ambush the police Academy early morning and it may happen anytime, Jundal has claimed," said a senior Delhi Police officer. The Nashik Police Academy would be attacked on the lines of the strike at the Manawan Police Academy in Lahore (Pakistan) in March, 2009, said sources.

We presume that the target might have been the July 21 rally, since it was the only big event in recent times. Had there been a blast, it would have been disastrous. It seems that Haroon, along with some other IM operatives, was about to assemble an improvised explosive device (IED), but was arrested before their mission was completed”.

Project Karachi was set up by ISI in collaboration with LeT, which makes use of Indian operatives trained in Pakistan to execute bomb blasts in Indian cities. It has two functions. To indoctrinate Indian youth into jihad and have them work for LeT, and consequently ISI train and induct them to carry out attacks in the Indian cities. "The scheme is funded by ISI and Gulf investments," said a source. Sources say that Indian agencies needed someone like Jundal, a high-ranking Indian national in LeT, to reveal details and provide inputs about its latest targets. Some prominent members of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) believed to be in Pakistan and the names of those who have cropped up in Jundal's interrogation include Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, Aslam Kashmiri, Fayaz Kagzi and Aakif. The information that Jundal provided his interrogators confirms that Indian nationals are being sheltered by Pakistan and being used against India. The interrogation has also confirmed that the Bhatkal brothers are the link between IM and LeT, which made David Coleman Headley come to India on several occasions between 2006 and 2008 to conduct reconnaissance of vulnerable and potential targets.

Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) pile is rising fast in the country, as reported on July 22, by The Hindustan Times. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) detected counterfeit notes worth INR 24.7 crore in 2011-12, a more than five-fold jump in value in the past five years. The central bank received INR 5.21 lakh FICN from banks in 2011-12 as compared to INR 1.95 lakh in 2007-08. In 1996, the year RBI started collecting fake currency, only 11,533 notes were detected. The steep rise in the total value of FICN in the past five years was mainly because of the increase in circulation of counterfeit notes of INR 500 and INR 1,000 denominations, according to data provided by the bank in reply to an RTI application.

Jundal also told interrogators that IM founder Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, who are now in Karachi (Pakistan), had directed Jundal to be in touch with Yasin for all anti-India operations.

The interrogation of Abu Jundal, by the Delhi Police's special cell and central agencies has shown that the 26/11 suspects operated out of several countries, as reported on July 23, by The Times of India. The Police believe that the conspiracy was meticulously executed in Pakistan, the US, Italy, Spain and Thailand (along with France and Sri Lanka, as reported earlier). Still, the investigators are taking Jundal's account with a pinch of salt. A source said his information about the international nature of the operation had loopholes. “It is pertinent to note that the LeT carried out this operation in a planned manner, but not all its members may have known about the entire conspiracy. Nevertheless, whatever information we have got so far from Jundal indicates the involvement of suspects from various countries," said a source in the security establishment.

The Pakistani Government imposed a nationwide ban on collection of zakat and Fitrana donations of food aid by banned outfits during Ramadan, Rehman Malik, senior advisor to Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf on interior affairs, said on July 22, reports Central Asia Online. “Any social and welfare organisation willing to collect zakat and Fitrana has to apply and acquire permission from the government; otherwise, no one will be allowed to indulge in these activities,” Malik said. “Directives have been issued to police and law enforcement agencies to keep an eye on fund-raising activities of banned militant outfits during Ramadan,” he said. Banned extremist groups pose as charities to rake in millions of rupees that fund terrorism instead of helping the poor, charity activists say.

Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) of INR 100 notes are back in circulation in the market, which is already inundated with INR 500 and INR 1000 FICN, as reported on July 23, by IBN Live. According to sources, “The latest fake Rs 100 note is so good that it is not possible to identify them. With the security features of Indian notes very weak, especially the paper quality and the fibre optics, it is very easy to replicate them…..every year, more than Rs 2,500 crore worth FICN is pumped into India. This year, between the months of January-March, Rs 300-400 crore has already been pushed into India. Usually every month, Rs 200-250 crore is sent through a network of couriers”. Large amounts of FICN concealed in ship containers came to India through Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal from both Pakistan and Dubai. Denying intelligence reports that FICN was printed only in Dubai, counterfeiting sources said that even today 50 per cent of FICN are coming from Pakistan and not just Dubai. Without the support of Hawala (illegal money transfer) transactors, drug peddlers, underworld dons and some ‘groups’ of people, it is not possible to introduce fake note in the market.

Jundal claimed that LeT wanted to carry out a major suicide attack on the Nashik Police academy. The LeT had set up its modules in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and south India, as reported on July 23, by Rediff News. Acting on the information provided by Jundal, security agencies have already started a major operation to fish out those operatives who form these modules. He added that LeT was planning to revamp its Indian agency, IM, but admitted he had never met the Bhatkal brothers. He has said that the IM is directionless and there is too much emphasis on its operatives in India. The IM was setting up modules in India with the help of its Saudi Arabian modules, said Jundal, adding that he had played a crucial role in the IM's operations as he believed in having a strong home grown outfit. Regarding Dawood Ibrahim, he said that the ISI deals with the operations of the ‘D Gang’ and keeps it separate from those of the LeT.

It was also reportedly planned to send one or two Indians among the 10, as they would find it easier to mingle with the crowd. The decision was dropped as they feared that if the Indians were arrested, they would spill the Pakistan connection, Jundal told cops. He said the attack was not supposed to be in November but during Ramzan in September, when most Muslims would have been indoors, but a choppy sea made them change the plan

Sources in the crime branch said on July 25, that Jundal has disclosed that instructions were given to the attackers to cause damage, kill as many as possible, and if the situation demanded, bargain with the authorities to put them in a weak position. "But a return was out of question as it would have exposed Pakistan's involvement," sources said as quoting Jundal. Jundal, further revealed that, the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), a banned outfit, has been acting as the 'backbone' for militant organisations providing them with critical logistical support to carry out terror strikes in the country, reports Deccan Chronicle.

The handler of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, Abu Jundal has confirmed that the voice in the terror tapes is his, sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told Hindustan Times on July 25. Jundal identified the voice when the tapes were played out to him. “We have sent the terror tapes and samples of his voice to a laboratory in Chandigarh,” a source told HT. “The forensic report will help establish Pakistan’s complicity and serve as crucial evidence in a court of law.” Jundal has told the Police it was his idea to give fake college identity cards (ID) to the ten 26 /11 terrorists, as reported on July 26, by The Times of India. The idea was to enable the Pakistani terrorists to mingle with locals in Mumbai without arousing suspicion. During his interrogation by the crime branch, Jundal said he, along with Abu Kahafa (one of the handlers of the terrorists), used a computer to make the IDs, the institutes being the Hyderabad and Bangalore branches of Arunodaya Degree College, which are genuine. Thus, Ajmal Kasab became Sameer C h a u d h r y (B a n g a l o r e branch) and Ismail Dara, who was with him at CST, Cama Hospital and Metro cinema, became Naraish Verma (Hyderabad branch). "Jundal told the crime branch that he also gave the idea to Kahafa and Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi (another handler) that the ten terrorists should be given coloured wrist threads to misled the police into believing that they were Hindus”, said a Police officer .

According to him, the Pakistani government, in turn, is getting passports made for the Kashmiri youths willing to return. They are sent to Nepal, where Pakistani agents destroy their passports and facilitate their travel to Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Delhi and then to Jammu and Kashmir. They come through this illegal route to Jammu and Kashmir to avail the return and rehabilitation policy. "We cannot identify them as they get intermingled," the officials noted. "This is illegal way of returning but we hardly have means to check this," observed the official. The government has no method to check the credentials or intentions of people coming to state from Nepal route. Many of them have married Pakistani women and have children as well. "But we do not know how many of them will again take up guns," the official said.

Pakistan's "non-cooperation" was the only road block in return of the Kashmiri youths who were stranded in training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir or were living outside of it in miserable conditions, officials said, Twocircles.net reported on July 28. "The State Government has received 1,054 applications for return of such youths (from Pakistan occupied Kashmir)," an unnamed official said. About 550 cases have been cleared by India but "Pakistan is not cooperating and taking things forward," the official added. “The credentials of the person willing to come have to be checked by police, security, intelligence and other agencies. It then goes to ministry of home affairs (MHA), which after making checks forwards it to the ministry of external Affairs (MEA), which then finally takes it up with Pakistan government," the official said. "Pakistan will be obviously non-cooperative in this case as acceptance of this policy will amount to accepting that Pakistan is running these training camps where Kashmiri youths are being trained (as militants)," another official told IANS. "The delaying tactics by Pakistan is the only road block in the return of the Kashmiri youths who are stranded in training camps...or are living outside in miserable condition," the official added.

Contrary to the belief that Jundal was first introduced by Aslam Kashmiri, a LeT operative, Jundal revealed to the crime branch that he met another LeT operative (name withheld by crime branch) in Aurangabad months before meet Kashmiri, reports Hindustan Times on July 28. The Abu Jundal extensive stay in Pakistan and his knowledge of wanted Indian operatives like the Bhatkal brothers and Amir Raza Khan, has made him a prized possession for agencies who are trying to work out LeT and old Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (Huji) complex network across the country, quotes, Times of India some of the top police sources on July 29. Agencies have now narrowed down to Sheikh Abdul Khwaja alias Amjad, a Huji/ LeT operative whom the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) had picked up from Sri Lanka in January 2010. The Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) could be among the key agencies likely to question Khwaja. Apart from Pakistan, agencies may also unravel the LeT's links in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, countries which both Jundal and Khwaja have visited, and have common links too, added police sources. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

Jundal allegedly narrated the infamous line "Yeh toh bus trailer hai, picture baaki hai" which means that this is just the trailer; the picture is yet to be seen. "We will be filing a separate charge sheet against him and the case highly depends on the voice test," added the Mumbai Police officer.

One of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal’s, who is in custody of the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police, custody has been extended till August 13, after it said it wanted to match the 26/11 handler's DNA sample with those collected from Kuber boat that launched the perpetrators on Mumbai shores, reports IBN Live. Police sources said that since Jundal had stayed with the terrorists in a dormitory at Muridke for 10 days, his DNA could have been transferred to them, adds The Times of India. Another reason for seeking an extension of custody was that the Police needed to recover the various e-mail IDs that Jundal created under fake names. It also wants to trace those people who helped Abu Jundal flee to Pakistan from Beed District in May 2006. It is reported by Hindustan Times on August 1 that Abu Jundal has told the Mumbai crime branch that he stayed in the same room for 10 days with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists who attacked Mumbai in 2008. Jundal also told the crime branch that he had developed a close equation with a few of those who were undergoing training. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

Lauding India for increasing its counter-terrorism capabilities and expanding its coordination with the US through the new Homeland Security Dialogue, the State Department, however, emphasised that the loss of over 1,000 lives still made India “one of the world’s most terrorism-afflicted countries and one of the most persistently targeted countries by transnational terrorist groups such as LeT.”
