Admiral Robert Willard, the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) Commander said on March that the US and India are working together on contain Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), reports Times of India. "We have currently special forces assist teams - Pacific assist teams is the term - laid down in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, as well as India," Willard told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing in response to a question on co-operation with India on counter-terrorism issues. He said Pacific Command's Indian Engagement Initiative that resourced and hosted Mumbai counter terrorist specialists for training exercises and exchanges throughout the US, together with capacity-building activities with South Asian partners are mainly focused on containing LeT and contributing to counter-terrorism self-sufficiency of the sub-region's militaries. "We are working very closely with India with regard to their counter-terrorism capabilities and in particular on the maritime domain but also government to government, not necessarily DOD (department of defence) but other agencies assisting them in terms of their internal counter-terror and counterinsurgency challenges," Willard said.

Reports that investigations into the recent smashing of a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) module by intelligence agencies has revealed that there is a growing concern among the top hierarchy of terror outfits about the sudden drop in militant activities in India, particularly in the Kashmir Valley and other major cities.

Highly-placed intelligence sources said Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, founder of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and a key LeT ideologue, has categorically told Abu Hamza, the operational chief of LeT in India, to launch a spate of attacks in important Indian cities and to prepare a separate blueprint for increasing violence in Kashmir during the coming summer season. The two LeT militants arrested from Delhi (February 28) and one from Hazaribagh (Jharkhand, February 27) hve revealed that they were in contact with Hamza and were receiving instruction directly from him.

on March 22 a joint team comprising personnel from the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Bangalore, and Delhi Special Police searched Bhatkal town (Karnataka) to identify the house which is presumably laden with huge quantities of explosive material including RDX, with help from four terror suspects. The four terror suspects include Tadiyandavide Nasir, prime accused in the July 25, 2008 Bangalore serial blasts, and three unidentified accused in Delhi police custody. The explosives from the Bhatkal dump are believed to have been used in the blasts at Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2010 and the Delhi High Court blast in September last year, besides several other strikes across the country. Sources said that there is a fear that the explosives have been hidden in Bhatkal by absconding terror masterminds Yasin Bhatkal, Indian Mujahideen (IM) founder and key ideologue, and his brother Riyaz Bhatkal.

The Union Government on March 28 stayed hanging of Balwant Singh Rajoana, a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist facing death sentence for the assassination of then Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh on August 31, 1995, reports Times of India. Sources in the government said that the hanging, which was scheduled to be carried out on March 31, has been stayed following a petition filed by SGPC, the Sikh religious body. The sources said the decision to keep the hanging in abeyance was taken since a petition was filed in line with the guidelines followed in such cases. Rajoana was awarded death sentence by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) special court July 2007 along with another terrorist, Jagtar Singh Hawara, in the Beant Singh assassination case. The Punjab and Haryana high court had October 2010 upheld the death sentence for Rajoana but changed the capital punishment given to Hawara to life imprisonment.

The Special Operations Group (SOG), in numerous operations spread over 2011, confiscated Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 10 million in Ahmedabad city, reports Daily Bhaskar on March 30.

On March 28 2012, he commented, "We now know that HuJI is pumping fake Indian currency into the state, receiving help from Bangladeshis living illegally in Ahmedabad. These notes are made in Bangladesh and then brought into India by agents of this terrorist outfit. These notes are pushed into the market by simple purchasing. For shopping of say INR 200, a fake INR 1,000 note is given. The unaware shopkeeper gives back INR 800 in original currency”. The fake money is disbursed in small fractions of the original consignment, said Shashidharan. "Only Rs 25-50,000 is taken out at one time," he added. After receiving information about these favourable sites, HuJI agents from Bangladesh get FICN to Lal Darwaza area of Ahmedabad, from where they are circulated to other parts of the city.
