Security officials say after one year of Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'India operations chief' Yasin Bhatkal's arrest a lot has changed with almost all the active IM modules neutralized or lying low, The Times of India reports on September 1. Intelligence agencies and anti-terror units, under the new regime, now have trained their guns on stalking cyber movement, cutting financial and logistical channels of home-grown terror groups. Meanwhile Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) is trying to raise its head significantly with vast reorganization of cadres. Senior officials in the counter-terror agencies say, "We cannot say IM has completely been neutralized after Yasin's arrest but his arrest came as a jolt and its cadres were caught one by one. Yasin had motivated a lot of youth in the outfit since he took over as boss in 2009, close to 50-60, and carried out a large number of attacks. During his custody, he made revelations which helped us (India) to control the activities of IM".

The Union Government ordered several states to be on increased alert after al Qaeda announced it has formed a wing in India and its neighbourhood, NDTV reports on September 4. In the video posted online, al Qaeda 'chief' Ayman al Zawahri singles out Indian states of Assam, Gujarat and Kashmir with large Muslim populations, along with Bangladesh and Myanmar, as territories targeted by the new organization. NDTV also adds that Pakistan-based Asim Umar, a top al Qaida operative, has been named to lead the Qaedat-al-Jihad, the new terror unit that Zawahri has announced will operate in the Indian sub-continent. In recent months Umer has issued a series of statements encouraging Muslim youth to take to the path of Jihad and calling for the establishment of a caliphate or Islamic state in India and its neighbourhood, a theme that also resonates in Jihadi literature and propaganda used by the Pakistan-based terror groups Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).The Indian security establishment has in its initial analysis of Zawahri's announcement told the government that the al Qaeda-led operations in India are likely to be handled by a splinter group of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) based in Pakistan. The group, led by a man called Shiekh Armar from Hyderabad and another, Dr Shahnawaz, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, recently released a video which talked about men trained in Afghanistan fighting in India.

At least 23 youth from Manipur’s Lilong area of Thoubal District are reported to have left home to join the Indian arm of the al Qaeda in the recent months, Hindustan Times reports on September 5. “They had gone in two batches. Four have returned home while the others are untraceable,” a government security official said. The official said these recruits were first indoctrinated and trained in weapons before being placed in the actual war theatres in Afghanistan and Iraq. “Al Qaeda’s new wing could be a combination of the IM faction with Beig, Bada Sajid and Mir Sajid as its key members, some veteran al Qaeda members like Maulana Asim Umar (the group’s new chief) and Usama Mahmoud (the group’s spokesman), and new recruits from India,” a security stated.

Gujarat has been on the radar of terrorist groups since the communal riots of 2002, The Times of India reports on September 5. The 55-minute video tape of the al-Qaeda 'chief' Ayman Al Zawahiri, warning of terror attacks in India and his mentioning Ahmedabad in the tape, has once again come as a reminder of the terror threat the state faces because of the riots of 2002. Sources in the Police said all SPs and police commissioners have been asked to stay alert in the wake of Ganesh Visarjan and make necessary arrangements to avert any untoward incident. Police have been asked to keep an eye on suspects at airports, railway stations and bus stops. State Director General of Police (DGP), PC Thakur, said: "We have taken necessary steps to avert any untoward incident." Another senior police official said they had been asked to keep an eye on SIMI activities in the city. "We have been also asked to keep watch on social sites, group SMSes and MMSes" said the police officer. Security has been stepped up at all vital installations in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad.

Indian Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, also the chairman of the chiefs of staff committee, on September 5 said the country was now better-equipped to handle threats from groups like al Qaeda, which has declared that it has set up a new branch to wage jihad in India. "There is a threat perception from such agencies but the nation is prepared for it," said ACM Raha. Another crucial initiative after the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) strikes, the integrated national Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) project, to swiftly detect, share and neutralise threats emanating from the sea, is yet to take its full shape. Only Phase-I of the coastal surveillance network - with 36 radar stations on the mainland, six in Lakshadweep and Minicoy and four in Andaman and Nicobar - has for instance become operational till now. The central hub of the National Command Control Communication and Intelligence Network (NC3IN) at Gurgaon, however, is now all set to be commissioned this month. "It connects 46 coastal stations along the country's coastline and island territories," said an officer. The IAF, too, has strengthened air defence measures to detect and shoot down "rogue" planes, with a critical step being the integration of military and civilian radars, if there is evidence they are in the process of being used as missiles to hit high-value targets. Structures like the JCAC (joint control and analysis centre) have progressively come up in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Hyderabad. "But much more needs to be done. The hundreds of small airfields and landing strips dotting the countryside, for instance, can be used for small propeller-driven aircraft and microlights. They need monitoring 24/7," said another officer.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested an Indian Mujahideen (IM) suspect, Ejaz Sheikh near Saharanpur Railway station on September 5, reports The Times of India. Special Commissioner of Police SN Shrivastava confirmed the arrest. "A team led by DCP Sanjeev Yadav had been tracking him since many months," Shrivastava added. Sheikh is involved in several attacks including the Jama Masjid attack of 2010. He was in close touch with Bhatkal brothers in Karachi (Sindh, Pakistan) and joined IM when Talha (an IM ideologue arrested in February, 2012) motivated youths in Pune (Maharashtra) between 2005-2008. "Sheikh said in his interrogation that he had been asked by his Pakistan-based handlers Yasin Bhatkal and Mohsin Chaudhary to reach the national capital via Lucknow, Muradabad and Saharanpur [all in Uttar Pradesh] to avoid being traced by the agencies," said a police officer. He reportedly learnt the art of using various information technology tools at an institute in Banjara Hills in Hyderabad. After the arrest of Mansoor Peerboy, an accused in the 2008 Lumbini Park blast of Hyderabad, the terror outfit hand-picked Sheikh and groomed him to be his successor, IM's head of information technology and communication wing. Incidentally, both the tech-savvy terror suspects honed their technological skills at various institutes in the city, sources said. Sheikh used to get money from Dubai and Kuwait either through Western Union or hawala (illegal money transaction) route. The entire operation of financing terror strikes and routing the money to IM executors was done by Sheikh from Pune and Mumbai. Incidentally, Ejaz did not know who the receivers were. After his interrogation, it came to light that he had arranged INR 6,80,000 for the Dilsukhnagar (Hyderabad) twin blasts of 2013, sources said. The intelligence sleuths also came to know that it was Ejaz who personally handed over explosives to Yasin Bhatkal near the Pune railway station for executing the German bakery blasts of 2010.

With al-Qaeda 'chief' Ayman al-Zawahiri announcing the launch of the Islamist terror outfit’s branch in India, intelligence agencies and Police are planning moves to identify terrorist sleeper cells in Hyderabad, Deccan Chronicle reports on September 5. A report by the Cyberabad counter intelligence cell had revealed that the sleeper cell of a terror group based on the city’s outskirts has already conducted a survey of some US-based multinational companies in the city. Officials believe that these cells could become the main tool of the al Qaeda in coming days to expand its tentacles in the city. After Zawahiri’s declaration the Intelligence Bureau (IB) alerted the Telangana Police since Hyderabad is a potential target of many terror groups including the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Top officials said that it’s time to launch measures for gathering intelligence on a large scale about terror groups. “Certainly covert activities of sleeper cells are going on in the city. If we do not act now, they will turn do dreadful things,” said a top official from the City Police. The Special Branch and Counter-Intelligence Cell in the city have strengthened their surveillance of religious institutions in the city. “The sleeper cells usually function using trained secret agents, who are assigned to gather maximum information about the area they target for an attack. They can easily blend into society without raising any suspicion. The terror agents infiltrate target institutions and live in the city, study the situation and finally carry out the attack when they receive orders from their leader,” said a senior official. Meanwhile, the Cyberabad Police has started building a directory of tenants living on the city’s outskirts. “We are going to create a database of tenants, who are staying in the commissionerate’s limits. Software is being developed to administer the database,” said a senior police official of Cyberabad.

Bruce Riedel, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst and National Security Council official for South Asia, accused the Pakistani military of `stage-managing` the terror outfit's latest advance into India, Zee News reports on September 6. He also said that Pakistan should be warned that it will be placed on the list of states sponsoring terrorism. Riedel has directly blamed the Pakistan military and its intelligence outfit Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for the renewed terror threats against India in order to secure gains in their country's political arena. There was no uncertainty that al Zawahiri recorded the latest video in his hideout in Pakistan, secured by the ISI, claimed Riedel. "The domestic politics of Pakistan are central to this drama, and to this threat," he said. The analyst further underlined the increasing risks of renewed confrontation between Pakistan and India, adding the US should ponder over a unilateral step if another November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks take place. "America would treat Pakistan as a pariah like North Korea. It certainly meets the criteria and has for decades. The first Bush administration seriously considered this measure in 1992, although such a step obviously would have immense consequences for US-Pakistan relations," Riedel wrote. He further noted: "LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] is very close to the Pakistani military's ISI. LeT would not have taken such a highly provocative action without at least some advance nod from the Pakistani spies in the ISI and the generals who command them. LeT's leader, Hafeez Saeed, lives openly in Pakistan, frequently appears on television denouncing the United States, and is the darling of the ISI.”

The Centre has renewed the ban on Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for another five years, saying that if its activities were not curbed, it would reorganize its activists and threaten the integrity and security of the country, The Times of India reported on February 7. The last extension, notified in February 2012, was for two years. The latest notification issued by the Union Ministry for Home Affairs, lists 21 terror cases involving activists, including the rioting at Azad Maidan in Mumbai (Maharashtra) in 2012. "During the Azad Maidan agitation, of the 10 accused arrested, one Iqbal alias Pappa Gulam Rasul Shaikh, is a member," the notification pointed out. The notification highlighted the four cases registered in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) and two cases filed in Gujarat against alleged SIMI cadres since the last renewal of the ban. It pointed to the two cases in Madhya Pradesh, including the escape of six cadres from Khandwa jail in October, 2013. Another case cited relates to exchange of fire between alleged members and the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in 2012. The Central Government has also provided details of recent judgments pronounced by various courts against arrested SIMI cadres in Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. However, in most of the cases, the accused were let off with a fine due to insufficient evidence.

At least 15 engineering students, including a girl, from Hyderabad, attracted to the idea of fighting alongside Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria, were tracked down by the Telangana Police in West Bengal this week after their parents complained they were missing, The Times of India reports on September 11. Police sources said their investigations have revealed the outreach of the Islamist jihadists in the country was greater than previously thought. The Police did not arrest or book any of them, who were brought from West Bengal. Instead, they kept talking to them. As a result, the students gave away more names including of the girl who had said she wanted to join IS in Iraq. They had plans to fly to Iraq from Bengal. "The jihadist propaganda has been effective in luring youth who were told that the proposed Islamic State could become a reality if youth from different parts of the world joined the fight. They have a vague idea of the Islamic State and its objectives or the operation. They thought they would be fighting against tyrannical rulers and creating a new Islamic state," a Police Officer investigating the case said. Cops have identified one student from Karimnagar who was the brains. He had floated the "jihad" idea to his friends through social networking sites. Among those he was able to influence was a relative of former SIMI operative from the city accused in a terror case.The group was in regular touch through code language. As suggested by the Karimnagar boy, the other group members got passports. Some also received money from unidentified sources. The amount sent to them was in the range of about INR 3.5 lakh. "We spoke to the boys and their parents and counseled them against getting involved with ISIS. But we won't leave things at that. They're being probed and we'd like to know who sent them money," said a cop.

Nicholas Rasmussen, Deputy Director, National Counterterrorism Center of US, on September 11 said that the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is against improving relations between India and Pakistan, reports Zee News. Rasmussen said LeT has attacked Western interests in South Asia in pursuit of its regional objectives, as demonstrated by the targeting of hotels frequented by Westerners during the Mumbai attacks in 2008. He added Pakistani and Afghan militant groups including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the Haqqani Network and LeT continue to pose a direct threat to US interests and its allies in the region, where these groups probably will remain focused. "We continue to watch for indicators that any of these groups, networks, or individuals are actively pursuing or have decided to incorporate operations outside of South Asia as a strategy to achieve their objectives," he said.

Investigations by Uttar Pradesh Police's Anti-Terrorism Squad (UPATS) suggest five members of banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), who escaped from Khandwa District jail in Madhya Pradesh on October 1, 2013, might be on their way to neighbouring Uttarakhand, 90 km from West UP's Bijnor District, reports The Times of India on September 22. The fugitives, who were holed up at a rented house in Bijnor district of UP, fled after explosives they were assembling, blew up on September 12. ATS from Lucknow, which raided Umri village, 25 km from Bijnor town, and Bhurapur village for over 15 hours on September 19 and 20, failed to track the SIMI operatives. A senior police officer in Bijnor said, SIMI men seem to be surreptitiously moving through the canal, sugarcane fields and forested areas on the route which connects Bijnor with Kotdwar and Kalagarh in Uttarakhand. They have already covered 45 km from Bijnor on the route to Uttarakhand and if they travel another 50 km they could well be in the hill state. With investigations revealing three fugitives Amjad, Mehboob and Aizazuddin possibly traveling along, it seems they have split into two groups, just like they did after escaping from Khandwa jail. Two others, Zakeer Hussain alias Sadiq Badrul and Aslam Ayub Khan are possibly accompanied by Saliq, a SIMI member from Khandwa.

These five men resemble the SIMI men who escaped from Tantya Bheel Jail in Khandwa on October 1, 2013. The suspects, now on the run from Bijnor, include Ejazuddin, Mohammad Aslam, Zakir Hussain, Mehboob alias Guddu and Amjad, all of whom escaped from the Madhya Pradesh jail a year ago.

Union Minister of Home Affairs, Rajnath Singh on September 12 said Muslims in India are fiercely opposed to Islamic State (IS) and its ways, reports The Times of India. "There is no progress in ISIS [IS] recruitment in the country. All Muslim organizations have condemned the outfit and its ways in India. Everybody wants communal harmony in the country to continue. The approach of Islamic organizations in the country has been very positive as far as the issue of ISIS is concerned," Singh said. When Singh was further prodded that Indian youths joining IS was a reality that could not be ignored and that even families of some of these youths had met the home minister, Singh said, "At that time there was such information. But no such thing is happening now." The Union Ministry of Home Affairs had earlier issued advisories to all states to keep a watch on tensions developing between Shias and Sunnis after widespread atrocities on Shias at the hands of IS were reported from Iraq.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) remains pathologically opposed to India, says the US, in a testimony to the US Senate, Nicholas Rasmussen of the US National Counterterrorism Center stated, The Times of India reports on September 13. Nicholas in his testimony on cyber security and terrorism threats to the US, said, "The group (LeT) is against improving relations between India and Pakistan, and its leaders consistently speak out against India and the United States, accusing both countries of trying to destabilize Pakistan." He observed that LeT provides training to both Pakistani and western militants. Indian terrorism watchers said LeT trains al Qaeda and Afghan Taliban militants. Equally significant was Rasmussen's observation that al Qaeda 'chief' Ayman Al Zawahiri remained the acknowledged leader of global jihad despite the growth of IS. "Al-Qaida leader Ayman Al Zawahiri's public efforts to promote individual acts of violence in the west have increased, as the Pakistan-based group's own capabilities have diminished," he said. "Zawahiri remains the recognized leader of the global jihadist movement among al-Qaida affiliates and allies, and the groups continue to defer to his guidance on critical issues," he added.

The arrest of a third Sri Lankan spying on India on behalf of Pakistan in less than 10 months has got intelligence agencies to train their focus back on growing radicalization among Tamil-speaking Muslims in eastern Sri Lanka where Pakistan has been fishing for a long time, The Times of India reports on September 15. Intelligence sources say, there is information that not only is Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) regularly recruiting youth from this troubled region of Sri Lanka for espionage and covert operations against India but even Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has set up a base and now wields some sort of influence in the region. "The region has been in some ethnic turmoil of late and Pakistan has been fishing in troubled waters. For its intelligence-collection and covert action operations directed against India, ISI uses four external bases - Kathmandu [Nepal], Dubai, Bangkok [Thailand] and Colombo [Sri Lanka]. The last one has traditionally been used as a base to collect intelligence about developments in sensitive Indian nuclear and missile establishments, many of which are located in south India, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. But the last few arrests show that these elements could now be used to mount an attack. This is worrying," said a security establishment officer. Radicalization in eastern Sri Lanka began way back in the 1980s when clashes with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and Tamils led to a section of Muslims gravitating towards fundamentalist forces. Post Lanka-LTTE war, this radicalization is now being fuelled by increasing attacks of triumphant Buddhist Sinhala groups on the religious minority, who make 9.7 per cent of Sri Lanka's population.

The three youths from Kalyan in Thane District, suspected to have joined the Islamic State (IS), are expected to return India from Syria, The Times of India reports on September 15. This is what one of the youngsters, Shaheen Tanki, told his family when he called up on September 6, a relative of the Tanki's, revealed on September 14. "For the time since he went missing, Shaheen (Tanki) spoke to his mother and brother. He said he's perfectly fine and they should not worry about him," said the relative. A senior officer of Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) told that Tanki was very clear and coherent when he spoke of his impending return. "He told his mother that he would return to India along with his two other friends, Fahad Shaikh and Aman Tande, but did not give any time frame". Meanwhile the security agencies say it would be difficult to prosecute these boys since they have not committed any crime in India. "Since the outfit they are allegedly working for is not banned in India, no action can be taken against them," a source from security establishment said.

The NIA has sent a report on the outfit to Union Ministry of Home Affairs and various avenues are being explored through which an First Information Report (FIR) can be lodged against Islamic State (IS) as an outfit and the returning boys questioned legally, The Times of India reports on September 16. Of the four boys from Thane in Maharashtra who recently went to Iraq to fight alongside IS, while one has died, three have called up their families and informed that they would return. Fears have been expressed within the security establishment that these battle-hardened boys could be tapped by IS as and when they decide to begin operations in India. This would effectively pull India into the cauldron of global terror.

Nearly six months after neutralising an alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) network in Rajasthan, the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) will file chargesheet this week against the IM suspects arrested from Jaipur and Jodhpur, reports The Times of India on September 17. Under the Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act and Section 121A of IPC (waging war against nation), the State Government provides prosecution sanction but the ATS waited for almost two months to get the prosecution section. It had to move the courts in Jaipur and Jodhpur twice seeking extension of the deadline twice during this period. A Jaipur court gave the ATS two more months after the agency failed to file chargesheet against alleged IM members based in Rajasthan within 90 days of their arrest. The police have to file chargesheet in this period after making an arrest but the ATS failed to conclude the investigation as two top IM operatives, Monu alias Tahseen and Pakistani national Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas could not be brought here on production warrant from Delhi. After that the court gave one more month's extension when the ATS again failed to file chargesheet last month. The deadline for filing chargesheet is now September 19. If ATS fails to file it by this date, the suspects have a solid ground to get bail, legal experts said.

Two of the five suspected Ansar-ul-Tawhid fi Bilad al Hind (AuT) militants charge sheeted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) on September 22 had rejected the offer to fight in India preferring to go to Syria instead for religious war, reports The Times of India. They, however, wished that an Iraq-Syria like situation was created in India. According to the NIA charge sheet, Mohammed Shafi Armar and Abdul Kadir Sultan Armar wanted to be sent to Syria and Afghanistan with other jihadis to fight the ‘religious war’. The charge sheet says arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) India 'operations chief' Yasin Bhatkal had asked Shafi to join him in Nepal, where Yasin was hiding before his arrest in 2013, and raise a module to fight against non-Muslims in India. Shafi, however, refused and wanted to be "dispatched to Syria to work with other jihadis and finally die in the battlefield to get heaven". Shafi further said "that he desired that India should also become like Iraq and Syria", the charge sheet adds. Similarly, Yasin had requested Pakistan-based IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal to send Sultan to Nepal, but he too chose to fight in Afghanistan and Syria. Both, according to the charge sheet, had developed contacts with al Qaeda and Taliban. Notably, it is Sultan who recently called on IM to join global jihad under the banner of AuT through a video message uploaded on the net by its 'media wing' Al Isabah media productions. The media wing is suspected to be run by Shafi Armar.

They break down over time and say they would want to launch attacks like ISIS and Al Qaeda. They exude pride as though they were associated with such groups,” said the officer.

Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Ranjit Sinha on September 24 said that the Indian legal system lacks clear and unambiguous mechanism to prosecute maritime pirates, reports Economic Times. Sinha commented, "India does not have a separate domestic legislation to deal with piracy-related offences. In the absence of a clear and unambiguous reference to the offence of maritime piracy in the Indian law, problems have been faced in ensuring effective prosecution of the pirates." He said the piratical acts by a foreigner committed outside territorial waters of the country do not constitute an offence under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The CBI Chief said for combating any crime law enforcement agencies need to be thoroughly prepared. "Capacity building is an integral part of this exercise. This type of crime has multiple jurisdictions and investigation may be spread over several countries," he added.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) was planning to carry out terror strikes in Muzaffarnagar town (Muzaffarnagar District) of Uttar Pradesh, UP, in retaliation to communal riots that had taken place in the region, Delhi Police sources said on September 24, reports Deccan Chronicle. The revelation came out in an email message found in the laptop of Ajaz Sheikh, an IM operative, arrested by Delhi Police on September 6 from outside Saharanpur Railway Station in Western UP. The email was supposed to have been sent via proxy servers. An email had been sent in the same manner following the Jama Masjid (Delhi) and Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) blasts in 2010, said the sources. The email also had 'Al Arabi' signature which was the hallmark of earlier similar mails taking responsibility of terrorist strikes by the outfit. The email was a scanned copy which was drafted by Sheikh's Pakistan-based handlers Riyaz Bhatkal and Mohsin Chowdhary. Sheikh is the brother-in-law of Chowdhary and directly took commands from these two from across the border. A resident of Pune in Maharashtra, Sheikh was an India-based techie, logistics man and hawala (illegal money transaction) router of IM.

When Ghouse secured bail, Islam gave him his brother Imamul Haq's contact number for supply of FICN. Apparently, the seized FICN amount was given by Imamul's associates to Ghouse.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has warned that “groups and elements supportive of extremist ideology similar to al-Qaeda” are trying to “increase communal tension” in states like Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi, Deccan Chronicle reports on September 25. The intelligence report (reference no-3627-60 & 3698- 3731/C&R Cell-C-2/SII), has reiterated that al- Qaeda 'chief' Ayman-al-Zawahari, who launched a new branch for the Indian sub-continent, also intends to target commercial centres, tourist destinations, religious places, aviation sector, railways infrastructure and BJP offices in various states, including West Bengal and Assam. The report has been dispatched to all state police agencies. The report further said that the al-Qaeda had launched the new branch with the intention to spread “Islamic rule” and “raise the flag of jihad” across the sub-continent. “Groups and elements supportive of extremists ideology similar to al-Qaeda may try to increase communal tensions in the areas which are sensitive from this angle,” the report says. The IB said there could be a push by “such elements/ groups” towards “recruitment of Indian nationals from Muslim community” in several states. “Apart from commercial, tourist, religious, aviation and railway infrastructure, such groups/ individuals can also target the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP] in various places.” The intelligence agency said that it was also assessed that Pakistan based terrorist planners could always exploit the presence of yet “undetected operatives” of various groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Indian Mujahideen (IM) for conducting “terrorist attacks in India.” “The cadre of these groups are susceptible to the extreme Islamic ideology and therefore could be utilized relatively and easily and in a cost effective manner by such Pakistan based planners,” the report further said.

The operation has revealed extensive international money laundering network involving banks accounts and corporate entities," an ED officer said.

"The notes were found to be fake after verification at the State Bank of India (SBI), Yerawada branch in Pune. However, we will seek a report on the notes from the Indian Security Press in Nashik," he added.

An intelligence dossier reveals that Pakistan's embassies in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Malaysia, Thailand and Bangladesh are involved in striking at the financial nerve of India by pumping in Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), New Indian Express reports on September 28. The probe by the security and intelligence agencies reveals that diplomatic channel is used as launch pads to clandestinely circulate the FICNs to underworld conduits and further to the open market. According to the dossier, Pakistan is printing and circulating FICNs worth an estimated INR 100 billion every year to destabilize India’s financial system. This estimate, agencies pointed out, is based on the reports collected through various probe and seizures in India and abroad. “Interestingly, there has so far not been any case of FICNs detection within Pakistan till now despite seizures abroad have clearly established the identity of Pakistani couriers and all flights they have used originated from Pakistan or Dubai,” the intelligence dossier stated. Exposing the modus operandi, the report suggested that actors involved in the FICNs racket are also using the Pakistan ISI-underworld deep penetration in Dubai to smuggle high quality FICNs produced in Pakistan. “FICN being produced in Pakistan contains some elements identical to the Pakistan currency, and through highly specialised and exclusive technology, which is known to have been provided by international companies to Pakistan,” the dossier said. Intelligence agencies also pointed out that the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has also reduced its profit margin in the FICNs smuggling racket to further enhance its nefarious activities and attract more smugglers, middleman and retailers to threaten economic security of India. The dossier suggested that the Pakistani agencies have reduced price of FICN bringing it to nearly 10 per cent which means around INR 900 net profit for players for circulating INR 1,000 FICNs in the system.

Muzaffarnagar city of Muzaffarnagar District in Uttar Pradesh (UP) is in jihadi crosshairs and has become a new reference point for motivating new recruits joining terror modules, Hindustan Times reports on September 30. An unnamed counter-terror official of UP Police said, “An accidental blast in a room in Muzaffarnagar’s neighbouring Bijnor town on September 12 revealed the presence of a suspected six-member module of outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) here. One member of the module got injured in the blast. Though, we have reasons to believe that the module was planning a terror strike in Muzaffarnagar. The members of the module are yet to be nabbed.” Central counter-terror officials say it was not the first time a terror strike was planned in Muzaffarnagar. Another unnamed counter-terror official based in Delhi said, “In March, two suspected Pakistani nationals were arrested by the UP Police who had been tasked with carrying out fidayeen attack. Again Muzaffarnagar was discussed as one of the targets.” The official added that after the arrest of Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Ejaz Sheikh from Saharanpur in UP, a neighbouring town of Muzaffarnagar, on September 6, 2014, an ‘explosive draft email’ was allegedly recovered from Shiekh that had many references to Muzaffarnagar riots and how they should be avenged. The draft email was most likely sent by Sheikh’s key handler and IM’s top boss Riyaz Bhatkal, who is based in Karachi, Pakistan. Also, Haidar Ali, of the Ranchi module of SIMI, who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in May 25, 2014, allegedly spoke about Muzaffarnagar riots in his meetings where he used to spot new recruits.
