A team of the Kerala State Special Branch (Intelligence Wing) arrested the State (Assam) ‘organising secretary’ of the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), identified as Dimga alias Lidion Basumatary (34) from Kakkodi Mukku in Kozhikode District on November 2, reports The Hindu. Dimga, hailing from Chirang District of Assam, was arrested after the police received an intelligence input about his stay at a rented house at Kakkodi Mukku for the past two weeks. Assistant Commissioner of Police-North (ACP-North) Kozhikode city, Jossy Cherian, said that Dimga had reached Kozhikode from Assam via Chennai following an encounter with the armed forces there. He had been staying with some migrant workers and had also taken up work as a labourer. The Police arrested him after confirming his identity by sending a picture of the militant to their Assam counterparts. Interestingly, none of the migrant labourers had any knowledge about his identity. However, further investigations are on. The Assam Police had also been informed about Dimga’s arrest. A team from that State is expected to reach the city on November 4. Investigators said that Southern States have become a safe haven for Bodo militants after the Assam Police operations against them. Recently several militants had been arrested from Bengaluru (Karnataka). They might have infiltrated the State’s (Kerala) migrant population with the Karnataka Police launching a crackdown against them, the Police said.

The operations cell of the Chandigarh Police on November 2 filed a detailed chargesheet against Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) militant Jagtar Singh Tara, charging him with escaping from Police custody, sedition and waging war against the country in the Burail jailbreak case, reports The Times of India. The chargesheet included the copies of Pakistan-made fake ID card of Tara and four FIRs registered against him after his escape from the jail for spreading terrorism in Punjab. It was filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Anubhav Sharma. Tara along with Jagtar Singh Hawara, Paramjeet Singh Bheora and Devi Singh had escaped after digging a 98-foot long tunnel in January 2004. An unamed senior Police official stated, "The charges of sedition and waging war against country were levelled against Tara on the basis of fresh evidence like proof of his presence in Pakistan and attempts to revive terrorism." Tara was arrested by a joint team of Punjab and Thailand police from Thailand in January, 2015. He was brought to Chandigarh in connection with the jailbreak case on February 17, 2015. The chargesheet was filed under sections 223, 224, 452, 457, 121, 121A, 123, 217, 221 and 120B of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The Sessions Court in Mumbai (Maharashtra) on November 6 reserved its order till November 18, 2015 on Mumbai Police's plea seeking to make Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist David Coleman Headley an accused in the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terror attack case, reports Zee News. The Police had filed the application before the sessions judge GA Sanap on October 8. The court this week framed charges against Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, one of the key conspirators of the Mumbai terror attack. The prosecution today told the sessions court that Headley had not been tried under Indian law for 26/11 conspiracy. "An American court is not competent to try offences under Indian Penal Code. The charges for which Headley has been convicted by the US court and the charges we are pursuing against him are entirely different," said Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. The judge said that the judgement of a foreign court only has "persuasive value" and it cannot be relied upon as evidence. "He should have been made a wanted accused. You are coming with evidence collected by others," he said. Headley, accused of conducting a recce of targets before the Mumbai terror attack, was sentenced to 35 years' imprisonment by a court in the USA after he entered into a plea bargaining agreement with the US government.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) has managed to neutralise an inter-state racket that involves the circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) and also smuggling of narcotics, oneindia.com reports on November 9. The two states in question are Punjab and West Bengal and the arrest of these operatives had led to the seizure of opium and high quality fake currency notes. In a detailed charge sheet filed by the NIA, it is stated that Sunesh Kumar a resident of Ambala (Haryana) and Rajan Chopra from Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab were involved in a racket involving the circulation of both fake currency and opium. The said Sunesh Kumar and Rajan Chopra were arrested by a joint team of West Bengal Police and BSF, on May 12 2055 at the Sujapur town under Kaliachak Police Station limits in Malda District of West Bengal. In view of the interstate linkages of the smugglers, and probable connections with smugglers from across the border in Bangladesh, NIA took over the investigation as per the orders issued by Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). During investigation by NIA, it was established that the two had driven in the car owned by accused Rajan Chopra, all the way from Punjab to West Bengal only to purchase FICNs and contraband drugs and were found in possession of the same. The NIA will continue further investigation to identify and arrest the suppliers of the FICNs to the arrested accused and the contacts in Bangladesh from where the high quality FICN is suspected to have been smuggled. The NIA says that this was a major operation ranging from Punjab to West Bengal and Bangladesh. It appeared as though the accused persons were connected with some in Bangladesh with whose help they were carrying out this racket. Punjab and Haryana are facing a major drug smuggling problem and through this case, we hope to identify and arrest more accused, the NIA official also added.

But his financial condition deteriorated when the cloth factory shut down and that affected his marital status which eventually resulted into a divorce, the officer stated. Khan then decided to return India and ISI agents got in touch with him and asked him to work for the agency, he said. "They trained him in code management... There he learnt coding and decoding," the officer said adding that several email address leading to ISI agents were found in Khan's mail. "He then returned to India in 2008 crossing the Nepal border and started living at 76/B Collin Street in the southern part of the city. In fact, Khan's cell phone has also been checked "thoroughly" to establish his other ISI-links and net his accomplices in India," the officer said.

The Kerala State Intelligence is closely monitoring a suspected larger network in the State working for alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, Thadiyantavide Nazir who is currently in Police custody, reports The Hindu on November 16. The racket has come under the scanner, especially after the arrest of his close aide Shahanas from Kochi in Ernakulam District on November 14. ‘‘There is a group of sympathisers, who are evolving into the form of a network and is facilitating and coordinating Nazir’s activities from inside the prison. Their number may not be statistically significant but most of them are enjoying the support of some mainstream political organisations, known for their affinity towards such fringe radical groups,’’ a top intelligence official said. One of the core areas of focus for this network is to weaken the cases in which Nazir has been named as a key accused, including the Bangalore blast case. ‘‘The network is entrusted to mobilise funds for influencing the witnesses, as suggested in the letters seized from Shahanas. The money is sourced from different activities, many of them are illegal such as gold smuggling,’’ the official said. The network has its strong base in places such as Perumbavur and Muvattupuzha in Ernakulam District, in addition to various other districts in northern parts of the State. Authorities are also looking into the possibility of this network receiving funds from outside Kerala, given the alleged transnational connections of Nazir. Meanwhile, a raid conducted in the house of Shahanas at Pukkattupady yielded several crucial evidences, including the key of a pair of handcuffs, concealed inside a book. ‘‘A probe is on to trace the origin of this key, which is quiet a surprising turn to the whole episode. We are also looking into whether the gang involving Shahanas was planning for an operation to free Nazir from police custody,’’ said an official with Kochi city Police.

Ansar-ut Tawhid fi Bilad al-Hind (AuT), an India-specific jihadi outfit that pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS) in September 2014, has started online propaganda for IS in Bengali, after posting IS messages in the past with Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Gujarat and English subtitles, The Times of India reports on November 18. Indian intelligence agencies say this has expanded the geographical reach of IS propaganda, leading to radicalization of some Indian youth. AuT propagates acts of violence against the Indian government and encourages Indian Muslims to participate in jihad within the country, along with encouraging other jihadis to attack Indian government interests and economic centres. Another key cause of concern for the Indian agencies, as they review the IS threat in the wake of Paris attacks and India's backing to France's retaliatory air-strikes on IS territory, is the Wilayat Khorasan (WK), an IS affiliate operating out of Af-Pak region. WK, according to intelligence sources, is at present a threat in Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan and may target Indian interests there. Incidentally, Afghanistan is the only country in South Asia where IS activity goes beyond recruitment.

India is alert to the threat posed by the Islamic State (IS), Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh said on November 17, reports The Times of India. "ISIS is not a threat for any particular country, but for the entire world. India is alert about ISIS," Rajnath said. The Indian security establishment suggests that around 20-odd Indians are currently fighting for IS in Iraq-Syria. "Though the ISIS has not been able to establish any significant presence in India, its success in radicalizing some youth, attracting certain sections of the local population or the Indian diaspora to physically participate in its activities or the possibility of piggy-backing on terrorist groups operating in India have opened up the possibility of ISIS-sponsored terrorist action on Indian territory," an advisory issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to all states and Union Territories (UTs) of India on November 16 said. "Available inputs about ISIS activities should be immediately reviewed to identify plans, targets areas vulnerable to attack by ISIS and appropriate action is taken to neutralise potential threat if any," the advisory added. The government has also decided to review security at the embassies and other offices belonging to the governments of France, US, UK, Germany, Russia, Australia, Turkey and Israel. The UMHA said that the recent multiple terror attacks in Paris clearly indicate the intention of the outfit to expand the area of terror targets beyond the Iraq and Syria. "It is necessary that the security establishment is kept on high alert to prevent any untoward incident," the advisory said.

Islamic State (IS) terrorists are using every trick to finance their activities, from bank loans to government benefits schemes to exploitation of natural resources, according to an October 2015 report of Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Economic Times reports on November 18. The plenary meeting of the inter-governmental task force, with a focus on terror financing activities of the IS, took place in Paris (France). According to investigations carried out by the task force members, one emerging trend includes foreign terrorists applying for small short-term loans from banks, with no intention to repay them. The 50-page report on the IS states that a framework needs to be developed to choke funds for these terror groups. Besides India, member countries including the United States (US), France and Russia also highlighted the use of social media by the IS to raise funds. "Fundraising advertisements are usually placed in social networks and thematic websites, as well as in specialized media, closed online forum and sent in private messages," the report says. A case in point is the pro-IS Twitter handler Mehdi Masroor Biswas, who was arrested by Karnataka police for running @ shamiwitness. Explaining a modus operandi, the report says, "Individuals associated with ISIL calls for donation via Twitter and asked the donors to contact them through Skype. Once on Skype, the donors are asked to buy an international prepaid card and send them the number of this prepaid card via Skype. The fundraiser will send this card number to one of his followers in a neighbouring country from Syria, who would sell this card number at a lower price and give the cash proceeds to ISIS." Another trend being noticed worldwide for terror financing is "crowd funding techniques" which is being used to transfer funds abroad by avoiding regulated financial entities. Canada's Financial Intelligence Unit shared its experience, saying the authorities recently zeroed in on an individual who left Canada, prompting an investigation. The probe was linked to a crowd funding website that allows people to easily set up fundraising web pages and collect donations.

Zafar Khan, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent arrested from Kolkata (West Bengal) on November 16, was spying on defence establishments in the state, specifically on the chicken-neck area Bengal's trijunction of Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, say Police,The Times of India reports on November 18. He was also spying on defence equipment manufacturing units in Bengal since 2009 and was a major hawala (illegal money transfer) operator of the Tiljala-Topsia belt in the city, say Police. A more seasoned spy, it was Zafar who insisted that he and his elder brother Akhtar, who is also in custody, get Pakistani nationality, say sources. It was also Zafar who used his local contacts to arrange for money to reach Kolkata through hawala channels for operational needs, said an officer. "We are targeting his hawala network from the Gulf," he added. Special Task Force (STF) sources said Zafar posed as a marketing executive to cover his spying. What worries police is his confession that he had procured fake papers for some locals, who travelled to the Gulf. "Akhtar was asked to send back information about men working in defence and security establishments in Bengal - news relating to strength of a unit, their movements and the ammunition they use," said an officer."Among the two brothers, it is now known that Akhtar went to Pakistan in 1985. We now know that Zafar took his mother to the same country in 1990. His mother Dulara Bibi returned to her third son three months later (both of them had travelled on an Indian passport) but Zafar stayed back. He came to India only in 2009 but by then his cousin - who also took Akhtar in his fold, Ajmal Khan (a Pakistan government employee) had helped Zafar establish a firm hold in that country.

India has frozen assets worth Euro 300,000 (over INR 2.12 core) of over three dozen entities on charges of terrorist financing and money laundering of illicit funds, according to a report by Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Daily Excelsior reports on November 19.

Hit by a wave of terror attacks, France said on November 20 that India was on the same boat with it in fighting terror and vowed not to let those responsible for the Paris carnage go unpunished, reports New Indian Express. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed ways to effectively tackle the menace. “I want to say that France is grateful for the tremendous support it has received from the international community, including Indian friends. The attackers will not go unpunished and our response is and will be strong,” Fabius said while ruling out any possibility of negotiations with terror groups. “We have good cooperation with our Indian friends on this. I discussed it this morning with Prime Minister Modi. We shall develop our cooperation... we are in the same boat,” he underscored.

In the wake of the Paris attacks, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) decided to build a central database on terror funding by collating financial components of various terror attacks in India in the past, Indian Express reports on November 21. The idea is that the database will help the security apparatus establish a pattern for different terror groups and help in choking their source of funding. “The process has begun. More agencies are being roped in. It will take some time but creation of a central database on terror funding will go a long way in tackling terrorism in the country,” said a UMHA official. Sources said agencies have been asked to tabulate money spent on each terror attack, money recovered from arrested terrorists, chain of funds for an attack as revealed during an interrogation and various allied crimes that indirectly lead to funding of terror activities. Of late, investigations have focused on unraveling funding patterns of various terror groups.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) warned Jharkhand Police against possible links between Islamic State (IS) and sleeper cells of Indian Mujahideen (IM), Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) whose operatives have been arrested from Jharkhand in past, The Times of India reports on November 20. At a press conference in Ranchi on November 20 Police spokesperson and Additional Directorate General (ADG) (operations) S N Pradhan said: "The MHA inputs have been promptly shared with all SPs with instructions to take it with all seriousness. A few districts which have a background of terrorist activities have been instructed to be extra careful about the alert." Police officials believe Jharkhand has high risk of vulnerability to IS designs as its north-eastern border is situated close to Bangladesh. In September 2015 police arrested JMB second-in-command Tariqul Islam alias Sadiq alias Sumon from Ramgarh, a District which neighbours Ranchi. The arrest revealed that JMB was using Jharkhand as its hiding ground as its key man Rejaul Karim was arrested from Sahebganj railway station (close to Bangladesh border) in January (2015). "There are apprehensions IS might collaborate with local units of these terrorist groups in Jharkhand. We have to be alert against it," Pradhan said.

Based on leads provided by Telangana Police, a 33-year-old online recruiter of Islamic State (IS), identified as Adnan Hasan Damudi who was trying to lure more than 20 youngsters in Hyderabad, including techies and women to join the terror outfit, was detained in Dubai a few days ago, New Indian Express reports on November 23. Telangana Police officials had reportedly forwarded a comprehensive report to Dubai Police on the activities of the online recruiter, who was luring city youth through social media. Damudi, a native of Karnataka, who was arrested by Dubai Police, is suspected to be a former cadre of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). He went to Dubai in 2012 in search of a job after finishing his graduation in commerce from Karnataka University in Dharwad. According to Police, Damudi, who worked as assistant delivery coordinator at the World Trade Centre in Dubai, used to maintain the Twitter account with the handle @AdnanDamudi and actively propagated IS ideology. According to sources, the Hyderabad Police, who detained a youth for trying to join IS last year, had collected information about the activities of Damudi during the counselling session. Initially, Damudi promised to help six youth including a woman to join IS. While chatting on social media, Damudi gave his Indian mobile phone number to the six persons. Later, two of them dropped their decision, while remaining four were detained in Kolkata (West Bengal) in 2014. The Police had information that Damudi was staying in Dubai and was actively operating on social media. Tracking his mobile number, police identified him as Damudi, native of Karnataka. It is also learnt that Damudi, who was successful in recruiting four youth to join IS, had assigned the task to one Sultan Amar on Afghanistan- Pakistan border, to help the four youth to proceed towards Syria.

Indian intelligence agencies, with assistance from foreign counterparts, have managed to establish the identity of the six Indian citizens who have died fighting for Islamic State (IS) so far, and uncovered how recruits from India are considered inferior to those from Arab nations, livemint.com reports on November 23. A senior intelligence official, who did not wish to be identified, refused to give details of the foreign agencies that are assisting India by providing inputs regarding Indians, or even expatriates in the Gulf countries, who have joined the ranks of IS. According to a detailed report compiled by multiple agencies, three of those killed fighting for IS are from Karnataka, while one each is from Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra. The deceased have been identified as Athif Vaseem Mohammed from Adilabad, Telangana; Mohammed Umar Subhan from Shivaji Nagar, Bengaluru; Maulana Abdul Kabir Sultan Armar from Bhatkal, Karnataka; Saheem Farooque Tanki from Thane, Maharashtra; Faiz Masood from Bengaluru and Mohammed Sajid alias Bada Sajid from Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh. Of the dead, Bada Sajid was one of the main operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM) who escaped to Pakistan after the Batla House encounter in Delhi in September 2008. “We had information that Bada Sajid and at least two more IM operatives who had escaped to Pakistan after the Batla House encounter had moved to Iraq to fight for IS. Of the total 23 Indians who joined the outfit in Iraq and Syria, five are from Karnataka, four each from Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, three from Tamil Nadu, two from Uttar Pradesh and one from Jammu and Kashmir,’’ the official cited above added. According to the report, the IS destroys the passports of Indian and other foreign nationals on arrival in Iraq and Syria to ensure that they don’t return to their country. “There are credible inputs that IS considers South Asian fighters—from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh—as well as those from some other countries like Nigeria and Sudan to be inferior to Arab fighters,” the report states. In fact, Areeb Majeed, a resident of Kalyan near Mumbai who was brought back from Syria by Indian security agencies, disclosed during custodial interrogation how IS considered Indians to be less martial when compared to Arab fighters. Majeed claimed that he was made to do menial tasks like cleaning toilets.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives who carried out the Hyderabad blasts on February 21, 2013 were in touch with each other through email IDs created with the help of a 10-page gay adult novel titled “Stuff My Stocking”, a media report said on November 23, reports Zee News. Team leader Riyaz Bhatkal had instructed his associates to communicate with him only via email or social networking site Nimbuzz. To ensure that their communication is not tracked, the IM operatives created fake email IDs that were changed every month. Bhatkal had sent his four-member IM team a 10-page gay adult novel 'Stuff My Stocking' with the instruction that they would create an email ID on the basis of the first word of the page assigned to them. The email IDs were changed every month depending on the page each member was assigned to read. By the time the blasts were executed in February 2013, each operative had changed his email ID at least five times. Some of the IDs used words such as Ubhot4u, lovesam361, patarasingh, halwa.wala and tashan99.

Terming terrorism a "cancer" that needed to be removed jointly by world community, China on November 23 called for close cooperation between Indian and Chinese security establishments as the two countries for the first time worked out a joint mechanism to combat the menace, reports Economic Times. The joint action plan was finalised during the just- concluded visit of Indian Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh to China. Commenting on Singh's visit, first by an Indian Home Minister in a decade, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told that during his meeting with Singh last week Premier Li Keqiang called for close cooperation between law enforcement forces of both the countries to combat terrorism, which has become a menace to the world. "During the meeting Li pointed out that the world is filled with both conventional and unconventional security threats and the situation is becoming serious," Hong said. He said law enforcement agencies of the two sides should enhance cooperation to jointly maintain social stability and create favourable conditions for economic development to jointly safeguard world peace and tranquillity. "Terrorism is a cancer that needs to be removed jointly by the international community," Hong said commenting on Paris (France) and Mali attacks. The two sides have already completed five rounds of anti-terrorism exercises between them. Besides coordinating positions on international terrorism, both sides agreed to exchange intelligence on terrorist groups, activities and their links.

With security and intelligence agencies keeping a close watch on social media platforms, terror outfits are now turning to the hidden web or 'Darknet' to carry out clandestine activities, The Times of India reports on November 24. This, authorities say, has made it almost impossible for cops to track terror suspects and unearth their activities and propaganda. Experts define it as a network that promises anonymity and cannot be accessed without proper authorization, as several proxy servers are used to block entry. Terror outfits, as part of their modus operandi, send a link to this network to their associates on hisher email address. It is only when the receiver clicks on this link that heshe can access the information available on Darknet. Predictably, terror propaganda has shifted its base here from mainstream internet - Darknet is also called the Deep Web. Online campaigners of the Islamic State (IS), whose single point of contact for recruitment is social networking sites like Facebook, too are said to taking shelter under Darknet. After winning people over, the campaigners, sources say , direct these prospective recruits to Darknet, whose websites remain hidden on a browser even after the correct URL is entered. It is here that the discussions about actual propaganda and prospective recruitment are carried out.

According to investigators, Adnan Hasan Damudi, under detention in Dubai, native of Bhatkal in Karnataka for allegedly being an Islamic State (IS) propaganda agent provided funding of INR 50,000 to a youth from Hyderabad in 2014 deposited the money in the account of the sister of a Hyderabad youth, whom he was trying to attract to the IS, Indian Express reports on November 25. According to sources, investigations revealed that Damudi was allegedly “attracting youth towards IS by posing as a neo-Muslim on social media”. Indian agencies also believe Damudi is associated with operatives of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), who are suspected to have joined the IS. He is known to have had close links on social media with brothers Sultan and Shafi Armar from Bhatkal, allegedly associated with IM and, more recently, the IS. Sultan alias Maulana Abdul Khader was reported by IS websites to have died in Syria in March this year. Last year, Sultan allegedly interacted via Skype with the Hyderabad youths who were lured by Damudi to join IS. Prior to his detention in Dubai a few months ago, Damudi was in touch with Shafi via Facebook, sources said. Damudi was allegedly involved with Shafi in the running of pro-Islamic websites of an entity called Al Isabah media and Ansar ul Tawheed, a breakaway group of the Indian Mujahideen. “He used to post comments/videos at Al Isabah media and Ansar ul Tawheed websites to attract youths towards jihad,” sources said.

Describing Islamic State (IS) as the latest security challenge, Minister of State for Home, Kiren Rijiju on November 24 said efforts by the jihadi outfit to recruit Indian youth were very much on, reports The Times of India. The statement comes even as intelligence inputs suggest that nearly 58 foreign fighters, including two Indians, have deserted the IS since January 2014. "Latest challenge of ours is IS. Although we do not have that level of threat or presence as in Europe, but we have to acknowledge that efforts for recruitment (by IS) are on," Rijiju stated. Stating that Indian security forces were vigilant and successful in containing the IS threat, he said there was need to stop any attempt to radicalize the youth. "We have to concentrate on youth and work on de-radicalization, identify areas and institutes where such things can happen," he said. Twenty-three Indians have joined the IS so far, six of whom are reported killed. Another intelligence report said around 58 people of 18 nationalities may have quit IS over the past two years.

In the wake of an alert about possible terror attacks by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Hyderabad Police on November 24 conducted "cordon and search" operations in certain areas in Hyderabad and questioned several Myanmar nationals, besides taking into custody at least nine persons from Assam, reports One India. Deputy Commissioner of Police - south zone (DCP) V Satyanarayana said that Police conducted combing operations in the early hours by cordoning off the areas of Hafeez-Baba Nagar and Ghouse Nagar. "As many as 67 Myanmar nationals were taken into custody, of which 48 possess United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) card. The other 19 didn't have any card," the DCP said. All of them were released after taking their finger prints and photographs and conducting inquiry, he said. Another 40 persons who were found to be living in suspicious circumstances were detained, questioned and their fingerprints were taken. Nine of them, hailing from Assam, were produced before a special executive magistrate and bonds were taken from them for guarantee of good conduct.

Terror suspects are using the website wikisend for file sharing and are using encrypted messages to avoid surveillance, Asian Age reports on November 25.Top cyber experts of the country say that terror organisations have their own Web browsers and they use them to avoid detection. IS and the Indian Mujahideen (IM) use advanced encrypted technologies, say experts. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheet in the Dilsukhnagar twin blast case (February 21, 2013) revealed how the IM accused had operated using encrypted software and wikisend. Leading cyber forensic expert Mr Pendyala Krishna Shastry, who had earlier worked with the Government Examiner for Questioned Documents, said, “Terror suspects use their own web browsers. They are using the web to send encrypted messages.” The NIA in its chargesheet against the IM suspect in the Dilsukhnagar case said that accused Ajaz Shaikh had shared files through wikisend and had sent encrypted fake documents to Riyaz Bhatkal, another key accused in the case. “Ajaz Shaikh prepared a fake ID with the photo of another accused, Tehseen Akhtar, and uploaded the same through wikisend with a password protection encrypted file” revealed investigators.

Hyderabad Police has claimed to have neutralised a Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racket with the arrest of four students, including one from Bangladesh, and seized FICN with a face value of INR 3,81,000 allegedly from them, reports Business Standard. The arrested gang members -- Mohammad Al Masrekin alias Sathy from Bangladesh, Razibul Hoque, Asif Iqbal and Minarul Islam, all students from different Districts in West Bengal were allegedly engaged in exchanging of counterfeit currency in Hyderabad, a Police release said. The Bangladeshi student, along with the three other students, formed a gang and were allegedly circulating FICN in India with the help of prime accused Sofikul Islam and Shorif, both also from West Bengal, who are absconding, it said. Sofikul Islam and Shorif supplied fake currency, the release said. Sathy came to India on a tourist visa in 2009 for higher studies and resided in West Bengal. He later obtained a student visa which is valid up to 2016.

In the rural bylanes and the small towns of West Bengal, terror is hiding in plain sight, Hindustan Times reports on November 26. They sometimes manifest in the unassuming next-door-neighbour with a 9-to-5 job, such as Mehdi Mashroor Biswas, an educated middle class youth from Bengal who handled the IS’ twitter handle from Bengaluru. They also take the form of young housewives trained in using ammunition and making improvised explosive devices in unrecognised madrasas (Islamic Seminary). Thousands of such institutions, many located close to the Bangladesh border, form the base of the radicalisation, training and recruitment of potential jihadists in West Bengal, intelligence officials say. Trainers use video clips, indoctrination documents and short films in Bengali to indoctrinate the youth. These schools often run low-profile training operations, specialising in putting out extremist literature in Bengali and posting such content on Facebook and other social media websites– helping jihadi recruiters lure youth in rural areas. “Years back it was outfits like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Hizbul Mujahiden (HM) that used Bengal as a conduit and safe haven for cadres to sneak into India from Bangladesh where they arrived from Pakistan. Now terror outfits are on a recruitment drive, both in rural and urban areas. New outfits are showing a kneeling towards organisations like the al Qaida and IS,” said a state Crime Investigation Department (CID) officer. The latest example was seen last week, when Ansar-ut Tawhid fi Bilal al-Hind (AuT) a terror outfit with links to the IS, initiated online propaganda in Bengali to woo Bengali speaking youths in West Bengal and neighbouring Bangladesh. “In Bengal, the situation is critical. For years, a section of unrecognised madrasas have been the hotbed for radicalisation. But the Bardhaman blasts (October 2, 2014) and Masroor’s arrest exposed that the indoctrination and recruitment cells of terror organisations have dug deep,” said a senior Bengal Police official dealing with terrorism. Intelligence sources say West Bengal -- which shares long and semi porous border with Bangladesh -- has been on the radar of Pakistani and Bangladeshi terror outfits for a long time and the radicalisation menace was spreading fast, stoked both by the 10,000-odd unrecognised madrasas and the proliferation of online terror posts.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Kochi on November 25 found five persons guilty in a case pertaining to the conduct of a secret meeting of banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) nine years ago, reports Indian Express. Of the total 17 persons arraigned as accused, the court acquitted 11 for want of evidence. The trial of one of the five accused, a minor at the time of the incident, is being held at a juvenile court. The others found guilty were P A Shaduli, Abdul Rasik, Ansar Nadvi, Nizamudheen and Shameem. The court upheld the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) charges against the first three accused. The quantum of punishment will be announced on November 26 (today). As per the prosecution, the five accused entered into a criminal conspiracy in Kochi and other places to advocate, incite and abet unlawful activities for cession of Jammu and Kashmir from India and to bring hatred and contempt towards the government, and in pursuance therefore, organised a secret meeting at Panayikulam near Kochi on August 15, 2006. The NIA chargesheet said that all the 17 accused had attended the meeting with books and pamphlets that were anti-national, seditious and contained inflammatory writings. They brought a publication of SIMI with an intention to bring hatred and contempt against the government, to conduct jihad for cession of Kashmir from India and bring back Muslim rule in India, the chargesheet said, adding that the five accused found guilty were sitting on the dais and the acquitted persons were in the audience. The case had 18 persons in the list of the accused. However, the NIA made one of the accused, Rasheed Maulavi, an approver in the case. According to the chargesheet, during the secret meeting, the second accused, Abdul Rasik, spoke that India was built by the British. He was quoted by the police as saying, “Before that it had been a group of countries ruled by the Mughals and Nizams. The existing governments were against Islam… Indian military is killing Muslims, who are conducting jihad for their freedom in Kashmir. SIMI is trying to protect the interest of the Muslims in India…’’

A report of the Union Ministry for Home Affairs (UMHA) clearly shows that the number of acquittals in the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) related cases are extremely high, reports oneindia.com. Out of the 111 cases registered against SIMI members, 97 have resulted in acquittals. There are a variety of reasons behind the high rate of acquittals where SIMI cases are concerned. Several Police personnel have been blamed for being vindictive in their approach which just does not help the cause. First and foremost being a former member of the SIMI does not mean an arrest is mandated. Secondly, many arrests have been carried out just on the basis that the persons have been viewing a video or reading the Quran. The other side of the problem is the lack of material against persons. The acquittal rate is high especially in the case of accused persons who are lower in the ranks. It is very difficult to establish a case and get evidence against such persons. Moreover there is also a delay in handing over the cases to the centralised agency which is the National Investigating Agency (NIA).

As India commemorated the seventh anniversary of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai, Maharashtra attacks, United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said perpetrators of all terror attacks must be brought to justice and underlined that improved ties between India and Pakistan could stem the threat posed by terrorism, Hindustan Times reports on November 26. “Without prejudicing the law enforcement in individual countries, I want to reaffirm that all perpetrators of terrorist attacks must be brought to justice,” Ki-moon said, replying to a question on the need for Pakistan to do more to check the terror outfits operating from its soil and bring the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks to justice. “I believe that an improved relationship between India and Pakistan could create a more conducive environment for both countries to stem the threat posed by terrorism,” Ban said. Noting that terrorism has become a “significant threat” to international peace and security, he said the scourge is causing huge losses every day, as evidenced by the recent horrific attacks in places such as Lebanon and Paris. “Member States must work together towards curbing and eradicating this menace,” he said.

Islamic State (IS) may carry out terror strikes anywhere in the country using a single terrorist also known as 'lone wolf' to create a mayhem, Union minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju stated on November 26, reports The Times of India. "Challenges are there. We have to accept that it is a reality. The threat is there," Kiren Rijiju said. In a statement that has a potential to trigger a controversy, Rijiju said Muslims from the southern states were "attracted" more to the IS ideology than their north Indian counterparts. "It is a reality (some south Indian Muslims getting attracted to ISIS). It is a fact. But we should not undermine our vigil in other parts of the country," he said. Rijiju said some web portals are under watch for their role in spreading the IS propaganda, but it is important to note that the servers of the web portals were not located in India.

Uttar Pradesh (UP) Special Task Force (STF) on November 27, arrested a man, identified as Mohammad Ejaz alias Mohammad Kalam suspected to be an agent of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports The Times of India. Inspector General (IG) Sujit Pandey of UP STF said the man had already relayed classified information about military establishments and the movement of Army units to his Pakistan handlers. IG Pandey said, "He sneaked into India from Bangladesh on February 9, 2013. He has already handed over classified information on the movement of the Sukhoi 30 combat aircraft and their hangars. He had information about the anti-tank guided missile programme. He had in his possession video images of Mirage's emergency landing on Yamuna Expressway, the movement of the mountain brigade at Pithoragarh and information about an under-construction runway. His bank account in India showed transaction of more than Rs6 lakh in the last two years. This money was transferred in installments, once from Saudi Arabia then from Dubai. He has sent his handlers information on cantonments in Bareilly, Meerut, Agra, Pithoragarh, Shahjahanpur and Mathura. He was in contact with a man called Salim, an officer of the ISI. His family was receiving Rs 50,000 per month in Pakistan for his services." Besides classified Army documents, sleuths in Meerut recovered a fake Aadhar card with a Bareilly address, a fake voter ID card made in West Bengal, a Delhi Metro traveler card and Nepali and Saudi currency from him. His laptop, pen drive and ATM card have been seized. A NADRA card (Pakistani national identity card) was also found, Pandey said. About 20 Sukhoi aircraft are stationed in underground hangars in Bareilly. These are rarely seen in public. The Trishul Airbase is among the oldest of such facilities in India, and is a sensitive base, given its proximity to the China border - forces stationed here are equipped to reach the border, about 300 kilometre away, in just five minutes. The Bareilly Cantonment is considered especially sensitive, and several roads connecting the city to this area have been closed off in the past three years. Information on the Trishul Airbase at Izzatnagar in Bareilly was found on Ejaz's laptop. A marked map of army installations in the district was also recovered. Sources said Ejaz revealed during interrogation that he was sent from Karachi (Pakistan) to Dhaka (Bangladesh) in January 31, 2013. He was received in Dhaka by a man named Probin, who enabled his travel by boat to West Bengal and dropped him at the house of Mohammad Irshad, a resident of Matiya Burj, West Bengal. Irshad and his son Ashraf, aided by a relative, helped Ejaz get a fake junior high school certificate, a voter ID and a ration card. These documents were used to open an account with the Central Bank of India.

Suspected Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent, identified as Mohammad Aijaz arrested from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh on November 28, has told Special Task Force (STF) that ISI works very much like Islamic State (IS), reports The Times of India. Aijaz who stayed in Bareilly in disguise told interrogators that he was sent to Bangladesh where his handlers kept his passport and sent him illegally into India through a river. According to reports, IS recruiters burn passports of new joinees before assigning them missions. According to STF officials, Aijaz said the ISI 'handlers' had also promised to get his sister married and help his family financially but reneged on their promise and never fulfilled their commitment in the last three years. Deputy Superintendent of Police (STF) Anit Kumar said, "He was given nine-month training and was perfectly conditioned for the job before he was sneaked into India. He is making such statements to gain sympathy of interrogators. His family includes five brothers and three sisters and one of his brothers, as per his disclosure, is employed with the British High Commission in Pakistan." According to Kumar, "Even when STF sleuths were on his trail, he being a deft computer professional gave little chance to us record his conversation with his handlers in Pakistan. After exchanging pleasantries over phone, they used to switch to Skype through which they used to talk for hours. Since it is not possible to track conversation on Skype, we could not get hold of the contents of these conversations." Ajay Pal Singh, another STF official, said, "While being brought back to Bareilly from Meerut after his arrest, Aijaz told cops that ISI had betrayed him by promising to take care of his family in the best possible manner, including getting his sisters married. But they never kept their promise. The monthly payment of INR 50,000 was also never made in full, but in instalments."

Efforts by Islamic State (IS/ISIS) to establish bases in Bangladesh may pose a serious security threat to the North East region of India in the days to come, reports The Assam Tribune on November 30. According to reports, security agencies are of the view that the possibility of the dreaded terrorist outfit making attempts to spread towards Assam cannot be ruled out. The IS recently made public its intention of spreading towards Bangladesh and security sources are of the view that if the outfit manages to achieve its goal, the security scenario in the North East will face a serious threat. The fundamentalist forces are already trying to use the ethnic clashes in Assam in 2012 a major issue as the leaders of such forces are mentioning about the riots in their speeches. Under the circumstances, if the IS gets a foothold in Bangladesh, they will definitely try to spread to Assam by making use of the sentiments of the people affected by the riots, sources pointed out. Sources also pointed out that the IS might try to join hands with forces like Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and as the JMB already has contacts in Assam it will be easier for the IS to use such contacts. The IS, in its monthly mouthpiece Dabiq mentioned about the plan to expand to Bangladesh. The December issue of the Dabiq devoted a full article entitled “Revival of jihad in Bengal”. By Bengal, the IS meant Bangladesh. The article gave a detailed account of the history of jihad in Bangladesh and stressed the need for revival of jihad in that country. The article said that all the mujahedeens should unite to fight against “oppression of Muslims” in Bangladesh and Burma. Security analyst and former General officer commanding (GOC) of the 4 Corps of the Army, Lieutenant General (Retd) DB Shekhatkar expressed the view that India should take adequate precautionary measures to prevent the IS from spreading its bases to India. He said that India should also take the neighbouring countries, particularly Bangladesh and Myanmar on board and a coordinated effort should be launched to check the growth of IS before it is too late. The outfits like IS never differentiates international borders and India should not wait for massive explosions to go off and adequate precautionary measures should be taken before it is too late. As the IS mentioned about Bangladesh and Myanmar, the North East region will be trapped in between and there is every reason to believe that the region would not be left out of its operational area by the IS, Shekhatkar said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has sent a fresh request to Moroccan authorities for recording the statement of Faiza Outalha mainly pertaining to her knowledge about her estranged husband David Headley’s association with Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group, a move which is apparently aimed at unravelling the role of state actors in Pakistan in 26/11 (November 26, 2008) attacks. The development came after the Moroccan authorities, while executing a Letters Rogatory (LR) sent by the NIA in 2012 after many months, had sent a statement of Outalha recorded by the law enforcing agencies of that country. The fresh request has been with a French Translation as the Government of Morocco had returned previous requests asking for a translation of the documents as per the rule of the requested country, they said. French is generally used by the Moroccan government for international diplomacy. In the absence of any Mutual Assistance Legal Treaty between India and Morocco, the LR has been issued on the basis of “Assurance of Reciprocity”, thereby promising the African country of all assistance in any legal cases in future. Outalha had visited India twice and was used by Headley, while carrying out a reconnaissance mission at Hotel Taj Mahal in Mumbai where she was ostensibly on a visit.

India's efforts to get Abdul Wahid Siddibapa, the alleged 'financer' of Indian Mujahideen (IM), deported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have come to a nought, with the West Asian country making it clear that Wahid will be sent to India only after extradition process is complete, Economic Times reports on December 1. Wahid, who was caught in the UAE in 2014 on the basis of a Red Corner Notice, is wanted in connection with the conspiracy in a series of bomb blasts including 2006 Mumbai serial blasts, 2008 Delhi serial blasts and 2010 Chinnaswamy Stadium blasts in Bengaluru, officials said. His name first cropped up during the interrogations of Yasin Bhatkal, who was arrested in August 2013 near India-Nepal border. Based on the description given by Bhatkal, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) got an Interpol's Red Corner Notice issued against Wahid. Central Bureau of Investigation officials said that Wahid could have been deported earlier had the information between the Indian agencies been shared on time. The delays lead to Wahid being produced before a magistrate, which left extradition as the only option. According to government officials, Pakistan is using its diplomatic channels to stall the extradition of Wahid at the behest of the top leadership of IM. "He is one of the key financer of IM who had helped them in logistics and his arrest has dented their capabilities," said an NIA official. Wahid is the son of Bhatkal's father's cousin and has been based in Dubai for past 10 years where he is said to have multiple business interests. "His extradition will be a huge success for Indian agencies", a senior official said.
