On November 4, Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said in Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh that India might re-draft its extradition treaty with Nepal because Pakistani militants are using the Himalayan nation as a hideout and base for sneaking into the country, reports Daily Excelsior. Speaking to reporters he said, Pakistani terrorists have "found a safe hideout in Nepal and it is a safe passage for coming to India." He further said, “The Government would be unable to check this completely as Nepal is a friendly nation and we have porous border with it. If the need arises, we might consider a new extradition treaty with Nepal.” India and Nepal signed an extradition treaty in 1953 and have been holding negotiations on a new pact.

According to IANS, the outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) is contemplating changing its name to evade attention it receives for its association with the terrorists. Quoting unidentified sources, the report said that SIMI may emerge under a new name such as Teharik-e-Millat or Awaz-e-Sura, with a view to expand its activities in Madhya Pradesh. Police officials say that Madhya Pradesh has witnessed a rise in SIMI activities despite a ban on the group in September 2001. Now its activities have spread to new districts like Burhanpur, Guna, Neemuch and Shajapur. According to police records, before the ban, SIMI activity was restricted to the districts of Indore, Ujjain, Khandwa and Bhopal, with its headquarters in Ujjain.

On November 7, two Unani (traditional oriental medicine) doctors were arrested in overnight raids at Malegaon and Govandi in the Nasik district in connection with the Malegaon bomb blasts, according to Times of India. Salman Farsi Aaimi and Farogh Iqbal Makhdomi were produced before special judge M. R. Bhatkar in the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court. The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Mumbai Police said that a search of Aaimi's clinic in Govandi had led to the seizure of "large quantities of seditious literature, notebooks containing cuttings of newspaper articles and code numbers". ATS sources have also conducted cotton swab tests in the clinic to ascertain if it had been used to store RDX. The forensic results are awaited. The ATS also claimed that the duo was part of a conspiracy hatched in February 2006 to "commit insurgency by spreading hatred among communities and thus disturbing the even tempo of life in the society". According to Indian Express, the ATS said that the duo provided shelter to their Indian and Pakistani accomplices and were conspirators in smuggling of RDX and other devices into Malegaon in May 2006 along with their Pakistani associates and some members of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). The court sent both the arrested persons to police custody till November 21.

The intelligence agencies have claimed that they have ‘pretty good’ evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in the Mumbai blasts, which will be put on the table during the India-Pakistan foreign secretary level talks on November 13-15. Senior intelligence officials told Hindustan Times on November 8 that narco-analysis tests conducted on the arrested persons have revealed Pakistan’s role. Sources reportedly said, “The test was conducted on all the 15 arrested. But we found that the version of five among them very similar. Those five, we had also learnt, had gone to Pakistan.” The report further said, “The five not only gave similar versions about the training camp in Bahawalpur that they had visited, but also blurted out similar description of a man who was coordinating their training. It was apparent that they were describing the same person. The name of the person was Azam Cheema.”

On November 10, the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) Court pronounced four associates of prime conspirator Tiger Memon guilty for their roles in supplying vehicles, concealing arms, attending meetings in Dubai and helping in landing operations leading to the Mumbai blasts of 1993.

The vehicles were later used for transporting a consignment of arms, ammunition and explosives. Jain had also lent a scooter purchased in the name of his employee, which was used in the blast at Katha bazaar killing four persons and injuring 26 others. Ibrahim Patel, on the other hand, had acquired 20 hand grenades which were part of the arms consignment that were used for triggering the blasts. He later concealed the cache in his flat in Noor building at Oshiwara. Patel, however, was found not guilty for the charge of criminal conspiracy. Farooq Motorwala visited Dubai under a fictitious passport in the name of Kazi Salim Ilyas to attend meetings along with Taher Taklya and Latif Bhogwala. He also initiated co-accused Mohammed Jabir Khatlab into conspiracy who got himself recruited for training in Pakistan.

According to Press Trust of India, the Union Government has decided to provide maximum security cover for the kin of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, his predecessor Atal Behari Vajpayee and Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi, in view of the abduction threat from the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group. A decision to this effect was reportedly taken at a meeting chaired by Home Minister Shivraj Patil in the middle of October 2006 and was implemented recently after carrying out a review of security for the kin of the VVIPs. Among others, grandchildren of Dr. Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Vajpayee would be provided with "Z" category security. Security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir had reportedly intercepted a wireless message of the JeM, which suggested that militants were planning to kidnap kin of these VVIPs to secure the release of some militants in various jails of India.

The FBI has reportedly asked Indian authorities for a thorough profiling of passengers bound for the United States besides providing extra Apron security (when aircraft is on the tarmac) to the plane. The Civil Aviation Ministry held meetings with top officials of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, the Home Ministry and the Central Industrial Security Force and security has been stepped up in all airports across the country, especially in the southern states.

"When we initiated the armed movement against the corrupt rule in Nepal (in 1996)," Prachanda had said, "ISI-type people offered us money and arms assistance.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on November 20 held the close associate of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, Ejaz Pathan, and associate, Mohammed Dawood Khan, guilty of various offences in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai. According to The Hindu, Judge P. D. Kode held Pathan guilty of attending a conspiracy meeting in Dubai, where plans were finalized out by prime conspirators Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon, Mohammed Dossa, Mustaffa Dossa, Anees Ibrahim and Ayub Pathan to create terror in Mumbai by engineering a series of bomb blasts in the city. He was also found guilty of providing his men for landing operations of arms and ammunition at Shekhadi coast which were smuggled for the blasts. Pathan and his associate Mohammed Dawood were found guilty under Section 5 of TADA for possessing three AK-56 rifles and nine magazines which were part of the contraband. Pathan, who was extradited from Portugal four years ago, was also convicted under Section 6 of TADA (enhanced punishment for violating other acts) and Section 120 (b) (criminal conspiracy). But the court did not find Pathan guilty of sending his men to Pakistan via Dubai for arms training as the evidence provided by the Central Bureau of Investigation was not sufficient on this count.

On November 22, the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court, pronouncing verdict in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blast cases, dismissed the plea of accused Moin Quershi claiming juvenile status and seeking direction to transfer the case to a Juvenile Court, reports Daily New & Analysis. Judge P. D. Kode, while dismissing his plea, held that the accused cannot take advantage of the amendment in Juvenile Justice Act as he was not under the age bracket at the time of arrest. The court observed that the accused cannot file application under section 7-A of the Juvenile Justice Act as the same is not applicable to him and he can be tried by this court under TADA. Qureshi, accused of throwing a hand-grenade at Mahim Causeway, is facing 11 charges under various sections of the TADA, Indian Penal Code, Arms Act and others. Police had earlier recovered 17 hand-grenades at his instance from a building in Mahim.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said on November 22 that a "foreign country" and its spy agency were directing terrorist groups to the hinterland and making attempts to use local miscreants and organisations to perpetrate violent activities in the country, reports The Hindu. Inaugurating a three-day conference of State police chiefs in New Delhi, he said, "Apart from prominent individuals, organisations, institutions, vital installations, economic centres and important heritage monuments, our maritime interests are likely targets.” Patil further said that India's proposed civil nuclear deal with the US has made the country's atomic power plants highly vulnerable to terrorist threats, reports Indian Express. "In view of the recent Indo-US agreement on civil nuclear energy cooperation, our atomic power plants have become highly vulnerable”. He said that key installations in the oil and natural gas sector, defence, communications and IT are also equally vulnerable. "Some Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist operatives are being trained specifically for sabotage of oil installations. There are plans to occupy some uninhabited islands and use them as bases for launching operations on the Indian coast,” Patil said. He added "They also plan to induct arms, ammunition through the sea routes. Simultaneously, we understand the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) has been collecting information on the location of various refineries on or near the Indian coastline.”

The Director of Intelligence Bureau, E. S. L. Narasimhan, told a gathering of senior police officials in New Delhi on November 23 that for effectively combating terrorism, not only are new laws required, but police officials also ought to be shielded by a legal framework, according to Indian Express. “There is need for a more robust legal framework to deal with sudden terror attacks since police officials find themselves helpless in such situations. To counter terrorism, adequate legal protection to police officials is also needed,” he said. He also spoke about the harassment police personnel have to endure in courts for alleged human rights violations, Times of India reported. He expressed concern at the fact that officers responsible for neutralising Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks are subjected to legal and extra-legal campaigns by activists. "We need to find answers to these issues as national counter-terrorism strategy suffers immensely when officers and men who put at stake everything in protecting society, find themselves helpless facing legal and extra-legal campaigns when the threats have receded," Narasimhan said.

Making a presentation on ISI activities in the State during the police week, he said that at least 200 youth from the minority community in Uttar Pradesh had come back after getting training in ISI camps in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.

He said that Meerut, Almorah, Baghpat, Phoolpur and several other cities had become the hub of ISI modules.

On November 27, the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court pronounced two senior Customs officers—R K Singh and M S Sayyed—guilty of complicity in terrorist activities leading to the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts, reports Indian Express. Judge P. D. Kode said that both had received bribes and allowed the landing of arms, ammunition and explosives on the Shekhadi coast in Raigad. Singh, Assistant Collector of Customs (Alibaug division), had met absconding accused Mohammad Dossa and his associates at Persian Durbar in Panvel on January 6, 1993, with M. S. Sayyed, Superintendent of Customs (Alibaug division), and agreed to allow them to carry out smuggling activities in his jurisdiction for a bribe of over INR 7.8 lakh. Singh was convicted under Section 3(3) of TADA (aiding and abetting a terrorist act). The court permitted Singh to surrender to the police on December 5 as he pleaded that his father was suffering from cancer and is admitted in Tata Memorial hospital. Sayyed, who had similar charges against him, was convicted under the same sections as Singh. The court, however, absolved both of the charges of being part of the blasts conspiracy.

"The conspiracy was hatched in Malegaon on May 8 this year on the occasion of the wedding of Noor-ul-Huda, one of the accused. All eight persons arrested in this case are former SIMI [Students Islamic movement of India] members. The RDX was transported from Mumbai to Malegaon in the third week of July (after the 7/11 train bombings), and the bombs were made there", Pasricha said. He added that while eight SIMI activists have been arrested in connection with the blasts, an equal number are still at large. Both the Pakistani nationals are also to be arrested. Pasricha further said that while one of those arrested, Zahid Ali, planted the bomb at Mushawerat Chowk, Huda and his accomplice Raees Rajjab Ali planted bombs in the cemetery.

The Government of West Bengal, a State in eastern India, on November 30 released senior Nepali Maoist leaders Chandra Prakash Gajurel and Mohan Baidhya after a court in Jalpaiguri ordered their release.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, replying to a short duration discussion on the "Internal Security Scenario" told the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of the Indian parliament) on November 30 that the Government has put in place a multi-pronged policy to deal with terrorism and maintain internal security. According to The Hindu, Patil said that one of the key components of the policy was to enhance the strength of the paramilitary forces. Many battalions of the forces were being raised and the Government had asked the States to increase the strength of their police forces and also train the personnel. "The Government is supporting it by giving huge amounts of money," he said. He informed that the intelligence agencies at the national level and the special branches of police at the State level were also being strengthened. The Minister, however, did not give any categorical reply to a demand raised during the discussion by Communist Party of India (Marxist) member Brinda Karat if the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) would be repealed in Manipur. He said, "Since other ministries like defence and law are also involved, I am not in a position to say anything more than this."
