In most of the cases of ceasefire violations, Pakistan tries to aid infiltration but on some occasions such violations were not related to attempted intrusions, said an unnamed senior Army officer. There are areas along the LoC, which can be used for attempting intrusions but ceasefire violations in the areas where they (Pak) don’t have any scope to try and push militants to this side are done with a purpose of diverting attention of Indian troops. Besides, these are intended to express solidarity with the militants as well, he added. Pakistani troops resort to such ceasefire violations to boost sagging morale of the remaining ultras on this side of the LoC, which, in real sense, is just a deceiving tactic, he added.

The number stood at seven during the corresponding period in 2011, the sources said. “There is no change on the ground vis-à-vis ceasefire violations and infiltration bids.

And now they are hoping that he will be deported to India. Police is suspecting that Mahmood was the treasurer of IM and was responsible for wiring money into bank accounts in India. He also used to spot potential operatives and remunerate them according to their capability. According to a senior investigator, "Faseeh has been involved with the IM ever since its inception. He was very close to the Bhatkal brothers as he had spent time with them at Bhatkal in Karnataka. He had left India even before IM began its deadly attacks in 2007. He handled Hawala money entering the country from the Middle East. He is seen as a crucial link between IM's UP and Bihar modules”.

Citing the example of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, on May 15, in Washington, Marine Corps Lieutenant General George J. Flynn of US military has warned of the dangers posed by "democratisation" of technology in future warfare, reports The Times of India. He said, "All the mission planning was done via Google Earth…There was no investment in technology of [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] platforms or anything like that". Flynn said the terrorists used cellular phone networks as command and control and social media to track and thwart the efforts of Indian commandos. He further commented, "Space and cyber will continue to play an increased role in events, with each becoming increasingly contested domains -- so it's a new domain that we're going to have to contest."

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram called for adopting legal course for all Kashmiri militants, who were returning from Pakistan and PoK via Nepal unless they fell in the category of Rehabilitation Policy adopted by the Jammu and Kashmir Government. Nearly 150 persons, including militants, their Pakistani wives and children have returned from Pakistan and PoK during past one and a half years especially after the announcement of Rehabilitation Policy by the State Government, which had been approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The MHA approved Rehabilitation Policy had fixed four routes—Poonch-Rawlakote, Uri-Muzaffarabad (both on Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir), Wagah International Border in Amritsar, Punjab and Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in New Delhi for return of the militants. However, the militants from these four routes could return only with Pakistan permission as two LoC routes required permits approved by Designated Authority of PoK while two other routes needed Pakistan passports and visas. The Screening Committee had received 800 applications from families of the militants of Jammu and Kashmir camping in Pakistan and PoK for past several years but cleared only 175 of them.

The sources said the phone conversations between Hafiz Saeed and Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and Abu Al Qama were about stepping up terror activities in India. Senior officials claim in the wake of this evidence there is no doubt not only about Saeed’s involvement in terror activities, but also that he enjoys the full backing of the Pakistani establishment. This is perhaps why Saeed can be heard talking to jailed militants who have access to cellphones. The source further added information of giving voice samples of the accused. The National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) cracked LeT’s use of “Voice Over Internet Protocol” (VoIP) to communicate with its men in India after Western intelligence tip offs that Lakhvi and Qama were using VoIP to pass on messages.

reports said that a Mitsubishi Outlander car bearing Maharashtra's registration No. MH02AY 7867 might be linked to September 7, 2011, blast outside Delhi High Court, which had been planned and executed by a Kishtwar based module of different militant outfits. The car, which was seized from Kishtwar town in the night of May 29, has been seized by Kishtwar Police and was traced to missing Bollywood and Lollywood actor Laila Khan's family. "As Parvez Ahmed, who had brought the car from Mumbai to Kishtwar during the days of blast remained untraced, Police quizzed his family members and some other suspects to reach to him. As Parvez was evading arrest after seizure of the car, police have intensified searches for him'', sources said. Sources said the preliminary investigations by Police have revealed that the car had been brought to Kishtwar few days before the blast and there was every possibility that it might have been used by the militants. “Had it not been so, Parvez Ahmad would have come out and disclosed details about the Outlander car'', Police said, adding the National Investigating Agency (NIA), which had been conducting investigations in Kishtwar blast, has been sounded about seizure of the car.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram denied reports that Mehmood had been detained by Indian intelligence agencies and said such media reports were "completely wrong." "This person is in Saudi Arabia to the best of my knowledge and the police forces which are looking for him — Delhi and Karnataka — have approached CBI to put out a notice through the Interpol. He is not in the custody of any security force in India and I am afraid that speculative reports which continue to say so are wrong and unfortunate," Chidambaram said.
