Times of India reports that a team of Indian investigators has arrived in Chicago, USA and is preparing to interrogate Headley in connection with the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks. Three days after the team arrived in the US to question Headley, there was no confirmation from US authorities as to when and what kind of access would be granted to the team. An FBI Chicago spokesperson said that the federal agency would not comment or provide any information on the Headley interrogation. US Attorney's office spokesperson in Chicago Randall Samborn said he "does not have any comment on anything related to David Headley whatsoever". The 49-year old Pakistani-American has been held at the downtown Metropolitan Correctional Center. Headley had pleaded guilty to conspiring in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks but struck a deal with US authorities in a plea bargain that saved him from the death penalty and extradition to India. The plea agreement had however said Headley would cooperate with foreign authorities and can be interviewed by them only on US soil.

The Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) of the Uttar Pradesh Police (UPP) on June 4 arrested one Kanhaiya Lal Gupta in Siddhart Nagar District bordering Nepal after INR 100, 000 of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) was recovered from his possession, reports Times of India. Initial investigations have revealed that Gupta was actively working for the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and looking after the FICN segment through UP-Nepal border and had pumped in no less than INR10 million in FICN during the last 5 years. Investigators quoting initial revelations said that he has turned out to be the third important link in the FICN racket involving some important criminals like Vinod Jaiswal of Bhairawan Galla Mandi in Nepal and Yunus Ansari of Kathmandu -- the two topmost identified controllers of FICN racket in Nepal. During interrogation, Gupta revealed that he was a native of Gagaha village in Gorakhpur and was presently residing near Barmail Toll in Bhairhwan locality in Roopandehi District of Nepal. Though initially Gupta claimed that the FICN seized from him was printed and supplied by local gangs, but the ATS after screening the seized notes closely found that the paper used and the quality of ink and printing was nothing less than the factory printed currency being supplied by the ISI. Gupta subsequently confessed to his link with the ISI based in Nepal.

The Union Government declared the Indian Mujahideen (IM), suspected to be a shadow outfit of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), a terrorist outfit, reports The Hindu. The IM is reportedly involved in the serial bomb blasts in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore and Mumbai. It has been added to the list of terrorist groups under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. “An order has been issued adding the Indian Mujahideen and all its formations and front organisations to the list of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967,” the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on June 4. Under the Act, the Government has banned 34 groups and declared them terror outfits. The IM came to light after the February 23, 2005 blast in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). Its hand was suspected in the incident. In 2008, it was reportedly involved in many terrorist attacks. Intelligence agencies believe that the outfit is also a front group of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI).

Pakistani born American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Headley has confirmed that LeT terrorists carried out the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai attack under the "guidance" of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports Times of India. Headley, who is being interrogated in the US by a team of Nation Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, has said that the notorious ISI was engaged with the LeT commanders responsible for the 26/11 carnage at "each and every stage of the plot". The account of the terrorist, who receed targets for LeT terrorists across the country, corroborates India's stand about the involvement of Pakistani State actors in terrorism, trains the spotlight on LeT-ISI tandem, and explains Pakistan's unwillingness to clamp down on the LeT leadership. Headley has mentioned serving officers of Pakistan Army — Major Sameer Ali, Major Iqbal and Major Haroon — as those who collaborated with the LeT terrorists. Major Sameer and Major Iqbal figured in the dossier India gave to Pakistani foreign secretary Salman Bashir. However, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram is to demand voice samples of seven LeT commanders including Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu Al Qama and others when he meets his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik during his visit to Islamabad for the conference of Home Ministers from South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region. Pakistan has so far refused to give voice samples which could help investigators ascertain the identity of those who instructed the 26/11 attackers as they went about their deadly assignment. Headley has also revealed how post-26/11, ISI wanted LeT to disown the Mumbai attack to turn the global attention away from the terror outfit that Pakistan considers to be an important strategic asset to be used against India. With Mohammad Ajmal ‘Kasab’ snared, and investigations by India and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) homing in its nexus with LeT, ISI planned to blame the carnage on al-Qaeda. It even prepared a list of 4-5 al-Qaeda figures who were to be projected as the conspirators. Headley also admitted that while he had started off as a LeT recruit, he started drifting towards al Qaeda under the influence of Major Abdul Rahman Saeed. Saeed, who served with 6 Baloch Regiment of Pakistan Army, took voluntary retirement in 2002 to devote himself full time to al Qaeda's cause. Headley, who respected Saeed for his "sacrifice", went high in the retired Major's esteem because of precise inputs he provided for the 26/11 attack.

There is no let-up on Pakistan's part to send terrorists from across the border and 600-800 militants were waiting to infiltrate, said Northern Army Commander Lt General B S Jaswal, according to Daily Excelsior. He, however, added that the Army has succeeded in keeping the infiltrators at bay by adopting a three-pronged strategy. "There is no let-up on the part of Pakistan in trying to send across terrorists. But if you see the statistics this year, they have not been able to make any inroads," he stated. He said according to the statistics, 70 militants had infiltrated by this time last year [2009] while this year [2010], only 12 could infiltrate as per the assessment. Explaining the Army's strategy to prevent infiltration, Jaswal said, "First strategy is to ensure no one comes in. Second is the intelligence base and the third is the defence line and the anti-infiltration position".

The judge cited lack of material evidence as the main reason for grant of bail. Samad is also a suspect in the February 13, 2010 Pune German Bakery bomb blast case. Samad was arrested on May 24, 2010 for allegedly supplying arms to three persons on August 5, 2009. Samad, a resident of Bhatkal Taluk (revenue unit) in Uttara Kannada District of Karnataka, was arrested at the Mangalore airport. Shortly after the arrest, Union Home Minister P.

Several Afghanistan and international intelligence officials and diplomats stationed in Kabul have confirmed that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), with the help of the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), has expanded its anti-India operations into Afghanistan and set up training camps, adding new volatility to the relationship between New Delhi and Islamabad, quoting The New York Times, reports ANI. The LeT is believed to have planned or executed three major attacks against Indian Government employees and private workers in Afghanistan in recent months, officials said. Pakistan maintains that it no longer supports or assists the LeT, responsible for the ghastly November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, but its expanded activities in Afghanistan, particularly against Indian targets, prompt suspicions that it has become one of Pakistan's proxies to counteract India's influence in the war ravaged country, The New York Times reports. "Our concern is that there are still players involved that are trying to use Afghanistan's ground as a place for a proxy war," said Shaida Abdali, Afghanistan's deputy National Security Adviser. "It is being carried out by certain State actors to fight their opponents," Abdali added. Experts are of the view that now the LeT presents more of a threat in Afghanistan than even al Qaeda does. There were a few LeT cells in Afghanistan three or four years ago, but they were not focused on Indian targets and, until recently, their presence seemed to be diminishing, the report said. Pakistani analysts, in a recent testimony to the US Congress, described the LeT as a terror group 'having ambitions well beyond India.' "They are active now in six or eight provinces. They are currently most interested in Indian targets here, but they can readily trade attacks on international targets for money or influence or an alliance with other groups," a senior NATO intelligence official, who spoke on conditions of anonymity said. Afghan Interior Minister Hanif Atmar, who recently resigned following an altercation with President Hamid Karzai, also confirmed that the attackers, who targeted Indians during the deadly car bombing and suicide attack on two guesthouses in the heart of Kabul in February 26, 2010 were "not Afghans." "They were not Afghans," Atmar said. "What we know for sure is that it was planned, financed, organized, and that people trained for it, outside Afghanistan," he added. "Over the past six months more than four attacks in Kabul had suicide bombers with telephones that we recovered with active numbers that were from Pakistan," Atmar informed.

Sadhaks (seekers) of the Sanatan Sanstha, engineered the October 16, 2009 Margao (Maharashtra) blast as the Government had refused to respond to their demand for a ban on Narkasur (Monster) celebrations, the prosecution told before the Margao sessions court on June 16, reports Times of India. The Sanstha believes that the festival glorifies the demon Narkasur and shows Lord Krishna in poor light, special public prosecutor S. B. Faria said while explaining the motive behind the crime. However, the National Investigating Agency had on May 17 filed a common 3,000-page chargesheet in the Margao blast case and the planting of explosives at Sancoale against 11 accused.

The first additional chief metropolitan magistrate on June 16 has ordered a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Abdul Nasar Madani, in connection with the July 25, 2008 Bangalore serial bomb blasts case, reports Times of India. The court has issued body warrant against two more accused in the case — Tadinyandavaeeda Naseer and Safaz — who are now lodged in a Kerala jail. Police sources said that a team would leave for Kerala to get custody of Naseer and Safaz. With Madani’s supporters warning of consequences if their leader was arrested, Kerala Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram on June 16 that necessary steps would be taken to maintain law and order. Earlier on June 11, Bangalore Police filed an additional charge sheet in the court against Madani and five others. In the chargesheet, Madani was reported to be absconding. The judge admitted the charge sheet on June 16. However, it will take some time for Police to take the NBW from the court and execute it. Cops said they would take the NBW only after some groundwork is completed. The case hearing is on June 23. Since the trial is yet to begin, the accused have to be produced before the magistrate.

A Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) militant, Tirtha Burman, was arrested by the Police from one Indrajeet Roy’s house at Patiramjote in Matigara, outskirts of Siliguri on June 18, reports Telegraph. The Police also arrested Pratap Burman from the house on the suspicion that he was a KLO linkman. Indrajeet was charged with harboring criminals. An improvised 9-mm pistol, two magazines and 13 rounds of live cartridges were recovered from his possession. Tirtha Burman has given information on the outfit’s renewed efforts to raise money from businessmen in north Bengal to regroup and revive its activities. D.P. Singh, the Superintendent of Police of Darjeeling, said, “However, over the past few months, we have been receiving specific inputs that the KLO is trying to regroup and has recruited a number of people for training in Bangladesh.” Tirtha was remanded in Police custody for seven days along with Indrajeet and Pratap. Singh said Tirtha — who had undergone training in handling arms and explosives in Bangladesh — had been involved in the April 22 abduction attempt also. The Police and intelligence branch said that the KLO might even attempt an attack on vital installations in north Bengal to make its presence felt again.

In the 11th dossier handed over to Pakistan since the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) terrorist attacks, India, on June 18 has provided details on the 34 terrorists, including fugitives who have been recruited by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) combine to launch terror attacks as part of the Karachi Project, in the form suggested by Pakistan, reports Times of India. India gave Pakistan the full copy of the Mumbai trial, a copy of the verdict, the charge sheets, evidence presented and used, and confessional statements. Pakistan had asked India for all of these in its last dossier. The LeT chief Hafiz Saeed evidence, Indian officials feel, is crucial. Although nobody was willing to confirm it, it's believed the Indians have got this from the LeT operative David Headley interrogations. "The deputy high commissioner of Pakistan was called in the afternoon and handed over a set of responses to the six dossiers received from Pakistan on April 25, 2010 on the Mumbai terror attacks," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said.

He has not reported to duty for the past 4 years. “We have sent pictures and other details to the Punjab Police who are supposed to send a team to the city by late evening,’’ said ATS chief Rakesh Maria. Acting on a tip-off, the Nanded ATS unit, led by Deputy Commissioner of Police P. Sawant arrested Singh at Diamond Garden. When asked what was Singh doing in Mumbai, Maria said, “We have to interrogate him before making any comment.

Police on June 20 arrested a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant who is the main accused in the 2000 blast in a bus near Agra (Uttar Pradesh) that killed two passengers and injured 15 others, reports Hindustan Times. Yusuf Mohammed was arrested from Nuh village in Mewat District of Haryana and brought to Agra in Uttar Pradesh later in the day in connection with the blast at Peeli Pokhar near Khandauli, around 20 kilometres from here. "Yusuf Mohammed had been to Pakistan five to six times for training and is an active member of the Lashkar-e-Toiba," Deputy Inspector General of Police Deepesh Juneja told reporters, adding that some fake passports had also been recovered from him. He also said that Yusuf had several relatives in Pakistan and one of them had introduced him to Arif, who is closely connected with the LeT. In March, 2000, Yusuf had planned to carry out a blast at a bus stand near Agra Fort, for which he carried out a rehearsal by planting a bomb in a bus which exploded at Peeli Pokhar. Some believe that it was not a rehearsal. "The bomb for some reason exploded before reaching its target," a Police official said.

Three suspected operatives of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) were arrested and a cache of detonators was seized from their possession, four days after a member of the banned outfit was arrested by the Police, reports Times of India. The trio was arrested by the Tamil Nadu 'Q' branch during a raid at Tiruchirapalli. 4,900 ordinary detonators and 430 electric detonators were recovered from them, an official release said in Chennai. Siva, Selvam, Tamiz stayed illegally in Chennai, Erode and Tiruchirapalli, respectively, without registering themselves as Sri Lankan Tamils, it said, adding that strict vigil along the coastal areas prevented them from smuggling the detonators to Sri Lanka. Investigations revealed that the trio did not have any plans to carry out terror acts in India, the release said.

The rising number of Pakistan linked terrorist plots in the United States largely stem from Islamabad's (Pakistan) continued support to some anti-India extremist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), blamed for the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, indicates the report released on June 21 by the RAND Corp, Hindustan Times reported. "The country's acquisition of nuclear weapons emboldened its support to militant groups by dampening concerns of retaliation by India," the report mentioned. Seth G. Jones, the study's co-author and a political scientist at RAND said, "A number of militant networks-including al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad [JeM]-remain entrenched in Pakistan and pose a grave threat to the state and the region." In addition to al Qaeda, numerous foreign and domestic militant groups have established networks in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) currently known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other areas of Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad, the suspect in the attempted Times Square car bombing, reportedly had ties to several groups, such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Haqqani network, the study notes. Researchers suggest the United States should restrict some military assistance to Pakistan until the nation ends its support of militant groups operating on its soil. Further, Jones and co-author Christine Fair of Georgetown University say that Pakistan's Army and the Frontier Corps have failed to demonstrate a consistent ability to clear and hold territory for long periods. While Pakistan has undertaken a number of operations against insurgent groups since 2001, the study finds the successes are short-lived and do not address the long-term threat. The Pakistan Army and the Frontier Corps forces have had some recent successes, however. This includes efforts during Operation Sher Dil (Lion’s Heart) in 2008 (Bajaur region), Operation Rah-e-Rast (Path to Truth) in 2009 (Swat region) and Operation Rah-e-Nijat (Path to Salvation) in 2009 and 2010 (South Waziristan region), the report finds. "Yet even with this success, Pakistan's efforts are thwarted by its decision to support some militant groups. In recent months, there appear to be changes in Pakistan's policy as evidenced in the capture of senior Taliban leaders such as Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. But it remains unclear whether Pakistani leaders have made a systematic break with militant groups, the report finds.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has confirmed that the bomb attacks on Mecca Masjid (Hyderbad) on May 18, 2007, the mosque in Malegaon (Maharashtra) and Ajmer (Rajasthan) Dargah (Sufi Shrine) were carried out by the same group of Hindutva extremists, reports Times of India. The finding, though only a confirmation of the leads thrown up by investigation into the blasts, suggests that the Hindutva activists owing allegiance to Abhinav Bharat had a far bigger network than initially assumed. Meanwhile, The CBI on June 22 declared a reward of INR 1 million each on any information regarding the two prime accused — Sandeep Dange and Ramchandra Kalsangra, both residents of Indore — in the Mecca Masjid case.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recommended death penalty for 2001 Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru in its report submitted to the President, sources said, reports Times of India. The Union Government has asked Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s Office) mercy petition, Times Now quoted sources as saying. Afzal was awarded the death sentence by a local court on December 18, 2002, after being convicted of conspiracy to attack Parliament on December 13, 2001. The death sentence was upheld by Delhi high court on October 29, 2003. He had then appealed against it in the Supreme Court, which rejected it on August 4, 2005. A sessions court had also fixed the date of his hanging on October 20, 2006, in Tihar Jail. His wife Tabassum filed a mercy petition with the Rashtrapati Bhavan four years ago. According to IANS, the sources said that the mercy petition was sent to the MHA for its view and it returned the file last week, rejecting the plea because of the heinous nature of the crime. With the MHA recommending that the plea be rejected, it is now up to the President to take a call on the fate of Guru, exercising her powers under Article 72 of the Constitution, IANS reported.

The Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan held talks in Islamabad on June 24, reports Times of India. India's Foreign Secretary, Nirupama Rao, and her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir held a joint press conference after concluding one-on-one talks and a meeting along with their teams to craft the agenda for a meeting of their foreign ministers on July 15, 2010. “We have sorted out to understand each other’s position. We had a comprehensive, sustained and meaningful dialogue which will go a long way to bridge the trust deficit between the two countries,” Nirupama Rao said. We discussed all issues, obviously our core concerns on terrorism were also articulated, she added. “The issue relating terrorism was of course one of the principal topic during the talks. And both the countries will have to work in sync to eliminate the menace,” she stressed. She said that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had assured his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh in Thimphu in April 2010 that Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for terrorist activities against India. Rao said that both countries had to work together to deny militants the opportunity to sabotage their dialogue. “We should jointly work together towards our goal of resolution of outstanding issues and also to dealing with the dangers, with the threat, with the evils of terrorism,” she said. “We must deny terrorist elements any opportunity to derail the process of improvement of relations between our two countries,” she said. However, Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told the press conference that Pakistan and India should work towards restoring confidence and building trust with a view to making it possible to have a comprehensive, sustained and meaningful dialogue. “After this engagement, I feel much more optimistic about a good outcome at the ministerial level and good prospects for the two countries in terms of our relationship.” Indian and Pakistani Foreign Ministers S.M. Krishna and Shah Mehmood Qureshi are scheduled to meet in Islamabad on July 15, 2010 which will be the third major contact between officials of India and Pakistan within four weeks. Further, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi described the Pakistan-India foreign secretary-level talks as a step forward in resuming the stalled peace process. “I think dialogue is a step forward. It’s an important development. We should build on this development,” Qureshi said after Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir and his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao concluded their talks.

Ahead of Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s visit to Islamabad on June 25 (today) to attend the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Interior Ministers' conference apart from holding a bilateral meeting with his Pakistan counterpart Rehman Malik, the Government has put the country on high alert following intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based terrorists, who are against any thaw in Indo-Pak relations, may strike in a desperate bid to derail the ongoing peace process, reports Times of India. Sources said the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an advisory asking all States to step up vigil and take all precautionary measures to ensure security as Pakistan-based outfits, who are opposed to any dialogue between India and Pakistan, may strike at public places in the coming days. The countrywide alert was prompted by intelligence inputs that the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had asked Indian terrorists — Khalistani militants as well as those belonging to Indian Mujahideen (IM) — to attempt mass casualty terrorist attacks. Shopping malls and public transport system have been marked as high-priority targets for terrorists being activated as the ISI tried to subvert the effort to revive dialogue. The alert came considering the fact that terrorists struck at a public place in Pune just days before the February 25, 2010 foreign secretary-level talks between India and Pakistan and at a time when Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao, Home Secretary G.K. Pillai and Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Rajiv Mathur are in Islamabad for crucial talks on various issues, primarily terrorism. "We have sent an alert to all states and are taking all necessary measures. There is a possibility that Pak-based elements may try to carry out a terror strike in the country," a senior MHA official said.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram met his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik and is understood to have pressed for urgent action against Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) over ground organisation Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) and 26/11 handlers, including those who are believed to be in the Pakistani Army, reports The Hindu. Chidambaram sought voice samples of the Pakistani handlers and raised issues like infiltration on the border of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistanis who have infiltrated and are indulging in militant activities. Speaking to reporters accompanying him in the special aircraft, Chidambaram said he will not say anything that will cast a shadow on the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Home Ministers’ Meeting, which is primary engagement in Islamabad. He said he will tell Pakistan “politely, but firmly” that the time has come to address issues concerning the Mumbai attacks. “I will use the opportunity to bring home to Pakistan gravity of issues and the need for response that is appropriate to the gravity of the situation,” he said. “It has been 18 months since I took over. The time has come to address these issues (regarding Mumbai attacks) with seriousness that they warrant. That is what I am going to tell them politely, but firmly,” Chidambaram said. Meanwhile, Times of India adds that Chidambaram met Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Islamabad. The Union Home Minister in an exclusive interview to Times Now just before his departure for Pakistan said India was unlikely to share leads with Pakistan about terror plots emanating from the neighbouring country. "If we tell them (Pakistan) what we have gathered about what some people are doing in that country, that would completely compromise our intelligence gathering, isn't it?" said Chidambaram.

Chidambaram and his Pakistan counterpart Rehman Malik have tried hard not to say anything that could cast a shadow on the SAARC conference.

In a disclosure, November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) accused David Coleman Headley told the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in May 2010 that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are virtually inseparable as far as the pan-Islamic terror agenda is concerned, reports Times of India. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram used the NIA dossier detailing Headley's disclosures to drive home the point that stringent measures are needed against terrorist groups operating with impunity from Pakistani soil. The NIA dossier, which establishes the virtual closing of ranks between LeT and ISI, clearly indicates that both are acting independently of the Government and pose a threat to Pakistan's governance. It took two days of persuasion for Headley to waive his right to silence under US law and detail every meeting he had with his LeT handlers, including Hafiz Saeed and Sajid Mir, and ISI officials in Muzzaffarabad and Lahore before the 26/11 attacks. Sources said that Headley told the NIA team comprising Loknath Behera, Swayamprakash Pani, Sajid Shapoo and special prosecutor Dayan Krishnan that his reconnaissance missions and its results were closely and jointly monitored by LeT and ISI before he received fresh instructions. The 11th dossier, which India handed over to Pakistan on June 18, contained every statement by Headley, who spoke for seven to eight hours every day, continuously for eight days.

Government officials said that Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had handed over a list of seven Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives and handlers, involved in 26/11, against whom no action had been taken so far to Pakistan, reports Hindustan Times. Chidambaram is also understood to have handed over the description of people as shared by David Coleman Headley, LeT operative in the US. The Home Minister particularly mentioned seven people against whom no action has been taken by Islamabad despite sufficient evidences being provided at his one-to-one meeting with Interior Minister Rehman Malik. The seven operatives are identified as Sajjid Mir, Abdul Rehman, Pasha, Brigadier Riyaz, Abu Khafa, Al Kama and Abu Hamza. New Delhi is hopeful that Islamabad will take some concrete steps before July 15 when External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna visits Islamabad.

Times Now quoting fresh warning from intelligence agencies reports that Indian missions in Bangladesh and Nepal are under threat from a possible terror attack from Pakistani terrorist outfits. The alert suggests the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) are planning to attack Indians working on different projects in Bangladesh and could try and create a hostage like situation. A similar threat also looms on the Indian mission in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Indian Government has already spoken to the Sheikh Hasina Government in Bangladesh and is even mulling use of Indian Security Forces to guard foreign missions. After the alert from the agencies, sources said that the threat perception has been communicated to Dhaka already and India has been assured full assistance. Meanwhile the Government is contemplating a security review of missions in Bangladesh and Nepal. Indian forces may be used to man these foreign missions under threat. “We do not deny any potential threat to our missions abroad. In this case, the matter has been taken up with the Bangladeshi Government and has been assured full assistance. The government of India is also thinking of a security review soon in Bangladesh and Nepal to decide whether the missions should be manned by Indian forces in these two locations. Intelligence agencies have communicated that the threat is from LeT and HuJI,” Government sources said.

Pakistan on June 30 rejected allegations levelled by Indian Army Chief General V.K. Singh about the existence of terrorist training camps in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), reports Daily Times. Responding to the Indian Army Chief's statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Abdul Basit termed the remarks "baseless and self-serving." "Terrorism is a global and regional issue. Pakistan's own concerns vis-a-vis India in this regard have been amply conveyed. Both sides have agreed to discuss the issue of terrorism and to address this matter in a cooperative and pragmatic manner," he said. Recently, he said the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Interior Ministers' meeting in Islamabad adopted an important statement on the fight against terrorism. An unnamed Foreign Office official said that the remarks of the Indian Army chief showed that there were "differences" between the Indian political and military leaderships. "The recent statement of the Indian army chief has compelled us to think about the dual Indian attitude. We cannot rule out the possibility that differences have surfaced between the civilian and military leadership of India over dialogue with Pakistan," he said.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in New Delhi that the detained United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leaders could talk with the Government from the prison, reports Assam Tribune. Further, Chidambaram maintained that the ULFA leaders were in judicial custody and executive cannot release anybody who is in judicial custody.

Virtually ruling out the possibility of releasing the ULFA leaders, the Union Home Minister had cited serious legal charges pending against them.
