The central government has designated additional sessions judge P. V. Savaikar as the special judge to conduct the trial into the Margao (South Goa District) blast (October 16, 2009) case, which will now be heard at the South Goa sessions court at Margao. The case was being heard at the North Goa sessions court for around a year-and-a-half after the central government had notified the North Goa sessions judge as the special judge to conduct the trial. While the Special Investigation Team (SIT) was initially investigating the case, the central government ordered that the probe be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), a federal agency formed after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks to probe terror-related cases. In 2011, the NIA filed a chargesheet against 11 accused. So far nearly 100 witnesses have been examined in the court, including Police officers, explosives' experts and handwriting analysts.

The confessions of Rajendra Chaudhry and Tejaram Parmar, accused in the Mecca Masjid (Andhra Pradesh) blast case of May 16 2007, revealed that they conducted a recce of the mosque and other places in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) three months before they carried out the attack, The Times of India reports on May 2, 2013. Further, Chaudhry confessed to the National Investigation Authority (NIA) investigators, that the duo visited Hyderabad from Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), in February by train. They toured Charminar, Mecca Masjid and some other places in an autorickshaw to check where bombs could be planted. They even entered Mecca Masjid premises as tourists and observed the people coming in for prayers. The two also received training in rifle shooting. On May 16, 2007 Chaudhry called Parmar and asked him to come to Manavatnagar in Madhya Pradesh. They met the prime accused, Ramchandra Kalsangra alias Ramji there. Ramji reportedly handed over to them two bags containing IEDs (improvised electronic devices). They reached Hyderabad on May 18. Tejaram placed the bag carrying an IED on the grills of the gate of the mosque while Rajendra put the red bag containing another IED under the marble bench on the masjid (mosque) courtyard, sources said.

Dawood Ibrahim and his network of bogus hawala (illegal money transfer) firms, spread across India, have been covertly financing Indian Mujahideen (IM’s) network in India, said sources in the central agencies and counter-terrorism units investigating blast cases across the country, Hindustan Times reports on May 3. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has been informed of Dawood’s alleged extensive hawala network in the Middle East and South Asian countries. A detailed probe by the Anti-Money Laundering / Suspicious Cases Unit (AMLU) is underway in the Middle East, sources said. The involvement of Dawood in financing terror through his network of hawala firms was unearthed during investigations into the July 13, 2011 blasts in Mumbai, (where the IM was allegedly involved) said sources in central agencies and counter-terrorism units. Many key players in the attacks are suspected to have links with Dawood. A sum of INR 10, 00, 000 had been sent by alleged hawala operator Muzzafar Kola to IM kingpin Yasin Bhatkal through Delhi-based Kanwar Nain Pathrija, Police sources said. The investigating agencies then suspected the involvement of the D-Company and intercepted telephone conversations from across the border showed directions being given to certain people, along with details of the money flow and transfers through hawala transactions. Kola, sources said, was a Mustafa Dossa man who later became a Dawood associate. These reports led agencies to believe that Bhatkal, a Fazal-ur-Rehman gang member who now heads the IM, was working closely with Dawood and his company.Fazal-ur-Rehman, too, was a close aide of Dawood and was arrested in 2006. Bhatkal, Police sources believe, took up the reins of Fazal’s network after that. “Kola is one of the wanted accused in the 13/7 blasts case for his alleged involvement in the hawala transfer and is also involved in money laundering,” said a senior police officer. Dawood’s intricate network of hawala transactions and its use for financing terror dates back to 2001, when Partho Roy Burman was kidnapped in Kolkata (West Bengal), and a ransom of 37.5 million was transferred to Dubai through Dawood’s hawala channel. Investigators said that Kola was responsible even for the money transfer in Burman’s kidnapping case.

In the last one month, as many as 11 persons have been arrested for allegedly operating a "local" Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) racket in Maharashtra, with its kingpin being a Pune-based real estate agent, Indian Express reports on May 6. Police said the suspects printed FICN at Nashik (Nashik District) and planned to circulate it in the tribal and rural belts of Chandrapur and Gadchiroli Districts, the areas infested by Naxals. The Chandrapur Police have recovered FICN from the suspects, mostly in the denominations of INR 1,000 and INR 500. "So far, there is no evidence to believe the involvement of Naxal outfits in this racket," said the investigation officer. Explaining the modus operandi, Investigation Officer Raju Nivrutti Bhujbal said, "The suspects had scanned a few original currency notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 denominations. They took colour printouts of these notes on good quality A-4 papers, which were purchased from Mumbai. After printing, they would cut the paper in the size of proper currency notes. Using luminous pens, they highlighted the security thread on the fake notes. These fake currency notes were then handed over to the local operatives for circulation in tribal and rural areas."

Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh on May 6 said that India's challenge to fight terrorism will increase when the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and allied forces pull out from Afghanistan in 2014, Indian Express reports on May 7. Singh said, "Our challenge will be further when withdrawal of NATO forces takes place from Afghanistan. The problems will multiply. All the terrorists, Taliban etc, will turn their focus towards us." While referring to Indian Mujahideen (IM), Singh said it's difficult to detect the movement of these terrorists because "they (IM terrorists) move in ones and twos and have local linkages and places for shelter within the country". He also said that it was high time that officials got serious with the issue of theft of explosives. "I think it has not permeated into their (officials) consciousness that the theft of explosives is not happening only for making money, but has a terrorist dimension too," he said. Singh made a candid admission during his speech when he said that a "lot of explosives was getting leaked". "Unfortunately, the material for making bombs is easily available despite our efforts to make it more and more difficult. Unfortunately, there is a lot of leakage (of explosives) happening because our mechanism for inspection... and officials to check this are not doing what they are supposed to do," he said.

The coastal security arrangements in Kerala, mainly along Thiruvananthapuram, are not up to standard and cannot effectively thwart possible infiltration bid by terrorists, The Times of India reports on May 13. The drawbacks in the existing coastal security system came to the fore after officers of the Indian Navy, coast guard, Police and other government agencies analyzed the outcome of Gemini-2, the recently concluded second edition of coastal defence drill held for Kerala and Lakshadweep Islands. The drill was anchored by the Indian Navy and coordinated by the joint operations centre at the Southern Naval Command. A senior officer of Indian Navy commented, "Coastal security arrangements in Lakshadweep Islands are more efficient compared to that in the mainland. The inimical forces found it hard to infiltrate the coasts of Lakshadweep Islands while they managed to get through the coastal belt in mainland, particularly in Thiruvananthapuram…We need to rope in the fishing community living along the coastline. To bring them close to the forces, the agencies are planning to make certain modifications in the format of the exercise.”

Investigations by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) have revealed that two days before the August 1, 2012, serial blasts on in Pune (Maharashtra), Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Riyaz Bhatkal had an Internet chat on the attack with one of the three suspects who allegedly placed the bombs, Indian Express reports on May 27. As per the chargesheet in the case submitted by the ATS at the Special MCOCA Court in Mumbai on April 30, suspect Feroz alias Humza Abdul Hameed Sayyed, chatted with Bhatkal on a Yahoo account on July 30, 2012. According to the ATS, during investigation, Feroz, who ran a garments shop in the Pune Camp area, had given the details of his e-mail accounts through which he was in contact with Bhatkal as well as alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Fayyaz Kagzi, who are suspected to be functioning from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The ATS claims to have traced four e-mail addresses and one Facebook account to Feroz. He allegedly admitted to using e-mail account '
[email protected]
' on Yahoo! Messenger to chat with Bhatkal, who reportedly used the id 'lovelyhunk34', May 31, 2012, onwards. Investigators claimed to have found 20 chats between the two, with the last being on July 30, 2012. Apart from the printouts of their "chat history", the ATS has also attached what it claims are printouts of chats between Feroz and Kagzi. The ATS claims that Feroz used yahoo account '
[email protected]
' for chatting with Kagzi on e-mail id 'hi.dude86'. Further, the DNA analysis of several items, including a red and blue jacket that was reportedly found on blast site, had helped ATS to zero in on the accused, reported on May 29. According to the chargesheet submitted by the ATS, DNA samples taken from a red and blue windcheater, and pillows and bedsheets seized from a flat in Kasarwadi, where the bombs were allegedly assembled, matched the DNA of blood samples of two of the suspects. According to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report, dated April 15, 2013, the DNA profile of the sweat traces found on the jacket and blood sample of suspect Feroz are "identical and from one and the same source of male origin". DNA profile matches with the maternal and paternal alleles in the source". Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) has stated that each of the bombs carried about 500 to 750 gm of ammonium nitrate, two wrist watches, two or three detonators, two 9 Volt batteries and ball bearing sheet. Each bomb had a potential to cause massive damage over a 250-metre radius. If they had exploded with their full intensity, about 80 to 100 persons could have died and 200 more injured.

India continues to be one of the most persistently targeted countries by transnational terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), according to United States (US) State Department annual Country Reports on Terrorism 2012, Indian Express reports on May 31. "While this figure represents a 25 per cent decrease from the previous year, India remained subject to violent terrorist attacks and continued to be one of the most persistently targeted countries by transnational terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)," the report stated. It added, "Included in the total number of fatalities were the 364 deaths ascribed to left-wing violent extremism, almost 80 per cent of which were Communist Party of India Maoist or Maoist/Naxalite violence, which the Indian government considers its most serious internal security threat. To date, those groups have not specifically targeted US or other international interests”. "India and Pakistan attempted to decrease tensions in their bilateral relationship by increasing official dialogue between their two governments, lessening trade restrictions, and relaxing some visa requirements in 2012….Continued allegations of violations of the Line of Control between India and Pakistan (the border along Jammu and Kashmir), however, and Indian concerns about Pakistani-based terrorist groups remained impediments to normalizing relations," the report said.

The team of computer scientists from the University of Maryland in United States (US) has predicted that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) will attack on either professional Security Forces and/or public, symbolic, transport and tourist targets, in the next four months, Hindustan Times reports on May 31. The predictions are based on a set of models devised by a team led by Prof. V.S. Subrahmanian which are constructed on the basis of data of the terror group that were collected for 25 years, from 1985 to 2010. "The data is recorded on a monthly basis and includes the values of approximately 770 variables for each month," Prof. Subrahmanian commented. "Among such strategies, exposing unfavourable information about LeT leaders, particularly financial corruption, is the most effective one…Historically, when terrorist groups are under pressure, splinter groups like the Indian Mujaheedin [IM] carry out some of the deadliest attacks," he said. With counter terrorism as the goal, the scientists have attempted to forecast what LeT will resort to under a set of given 'environmental' and 'action' variables. While 'environmental' variables relate to social, cultural, economic, military aspects in which LeT is operating, including state responses to terror, 'action' variables relate to actions that LeT took.

Despite adverse report from Varanasi District administration, the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Government, on May 31, decided to withdraw cases against suspected Bangladesh based militant organisation Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HuJI) militant, Shamim, reports The Times of India. The District administration was directed to engage a prosecution officer to complete formalities like submitting application before the court for withdrawal of cases against Shamim as per the Government's decision. Shamim’s involvement in March 7, 2006, serial blasts at Sankatmochan temple and Cantonment railway station was exposed by the Special Task Force (STF) of UP Police. On STF's recommendation, a cash reward of INR 20,000 was announced in 2007 for information leading to his arrest. But, no agency could succeed in tracing him. Shamim's call records maintained by the investigating agencies in 2006 and 2007 showed that he was calling his counterparts in Bangladesh frequently while calls were also made to some persons in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. The exercise is continuing for the withdrawal of cases against Shamim, who had remained traceless after November 23, 2007 Kutchehri blasts.
