The Centre on November 1, maintained that there is enough material on record for extending the ban on the militant outfit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for another two years from May 14, 2010 under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, according to The Hindu. Additional Solicitor-General (ASG) A.S. Chandhikok made this submission before Justice Vikramajit Sen of the Delhi High Court, who constitutes the one-man tribunal hearing arguments on the validity of the notification extending the ban. The ASG read out material to show that LTTE leaders, operatives and supporters had been inimically opposed to India's policy on their organisation, and the outfit continued its unlawful activities, using remnant cadres as well as local smugglers and pro-LTTE operatives for procuring explosives, detonators, chemicals and ammunition. Various cases registered against LTTE cadres, sympathisers and agents under the Act and other provisions of law would amply prove that the outfit, though based in Sri Lanka, had sympathisers, supporters and agents in India to carry out unlawful acts for the organisation, he pointed out. The ASG also observed that clandestine support was being extended to the LTTE by Sri Lankan Tamils who entered India in the guise of refugees and indulged in smuggling of even narcotic drugs to raise money for their activities.

Times of India on November 2 reports that the Pakistani American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley revealed to the interrogators of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in June that had the 26/11 attackers landed during the day on Mumbai's coast, the Mumbai Police headquarters at Crawford Market would have also been attacked on the first day of the carnage. However, since 10 Pakistani militants including Ajmal Kasab, the lone arrested attacker, landed ashore in the night of November 26 they moved to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) as per the alternate plan. Headley also told the Indian sleuths that originally, 13 militants, including an Indian national (possibly from Maharashtra) who was considered a good "asset", were trained for the attack, but the LeT commander Sajid Majid later dropped three of them from the mission. During his questioning, Headley also gave details of LeT’s attack on Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore where an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) professor M C Puri was killed on December 28, 2005. He told the NIA team that the entire operation was executed by LeT's ‘commander’ Abu Hamza. Another terrorist Abdul Aziz had supervised this operation in December 2005. He further mentioned that during his training programmes he was shown CDs of atrocities on Indian Muslims including videos of Gujarat riots and hate speeches of right wing Hindu leader Babu Bajrangi.

Clarifying about the news reports claiming that a NATO aircraft "violated" Pakistan’s airspace in the Burqi and Kharlaci areas of Khurram Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on November 2, the United States Embassy in Islamabad on November 3 said that the accusation is entirely false, reports Daily Times. No NATO aircraft violated the Pakistani airspace in the areas of Burqi and Kharlaci as alleged in reports, said a press release issued by the embassy. Pakistan’s Air Defence Command confirmed the information, the statement said and added that coalition and US air operations in Afghanistan conducted along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region are closely coordinated with Pakistan’s Air Force. We refer all questions concerning the integrity of the Pakistani airspace to the Pakistan Air Force, the press release added. Meanwhile, the Pakistani Senate expressed serious concern over the violation of Pakistani airspace by NATO forces. Legislators from Jamaat-e-Islami and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) staged a walkout from the Senate session in protest and strongly condemned the airspace violations by NATO forces. Talking on a point of order, the leader of the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) Senator Raza Rabbani demanded from the House to summon NATO diplomats in the Foreign Office at the earliest, otherwise Pakistan reserved the right of other options, including military retaliation. He said no agreement existed between NATO and Pakistani forces regarding military retaliation in Pakistan’s bordering areas as well as violation of the country’s airspace by NATO forces.

The United States on November 4 imposed sanctions on two Pakistan-based militant outfits and a key militant leader for November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, reports Daily Times. The Treasury Department said it targeted the financial and support networks of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM). It also took action against Azam Cheema, saying he had helped train operatives for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks and was the "mastermind" behind the July 2006 Mumbai train bombings carried out by LeT. The targets also included leaders of LeT and JeM, as well as Al Rehmat Trust, an "operational front" for JeM, the department said in a statement. LeT was already designated as a foreign terrorist organisation in December 2001, the department noted. "Today’s action – including the designation of Azam Cheema, one of LeT’s leading commanders who was involved in the 2008 and 2006 Mumbai attacks – is an important step in incapacitating the operational and financial networks of these deadly organisations," Stuart Levey, Under Secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in the statement.

As part of its outreach in Jammu and Kashmir, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has finalized the surrender policy for those who have crossed over to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and now want to return even though the initiative will not offer an unqualified general amnesty, according to Times of India. If there are cases of a serious nature against militants wanting to surrender, they will be prosecuted while cases of crossing into PoK will be reviewed separately. The policy has been sent to Jammu and Kashmir Government in September and is likely to come up for discussion in the next State cabinet meeting, said a senior State Government official.

Militant attacks on two mosques, one at Juma congregation in Darra Adamkhel and the other at Isha prayers in Badbher near Peshawar, left at least 68 persons dead and another 70 injured on November 5, reports Dawn.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) denied having any hand in the attack and, instead, blamed foreign agents fighting SFs in tribal areas. Security officials in Peshawar said they suspected that the militants of Tariq Afridi fraction of TTP carried out the attack. Their target, the officials said, was the Momin Afridi fraction which had raised a lashkar (tribal militia) and supported SFs’ action against militants loyal to Tariq Afridi.

US officials received at least five warnings that an American man who became a key figure in the 2008 Mumbai attacks was training or working with extremists, The Washington Post said on November 6. Despite the warnings to US intelligence agencies building up over seven years, officials did not move to question David Coleman Headley or place him on any watch list, the report said, citing a review underway for the US director of national intelligence (DNI). The report was co-published by the The Washington Post and ProPublica, an investigative journalism group that reported the story. In October, ProPublica revealed that one of Headley’s wives had warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents in August 2005 that her husband had undergone intensive training programmes with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and “was an active militant” with the radical extremist group, in a report the newspaper said prompted the DNI review. Despite the warnings, Headley continued to move freely, travelling to Pakistan, India, Dubai and Europe in 2006, gathering information and material that made possible the attacks by the Pakistani militants on Mumbai, which left 166 people dead and more than 300 others injured.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) can be withdrawn from some areas in the State with a rider that the Army could step in again if the situation so warranted, according to Daily Excelsior. "I think the time has come where we can start to objectively look at areas from where the AFSPA can be removed with the understanding that if there is a situation requiring the Army to intervene, we can make a temporary sort of return to that," Omar said. Commenting on opposition to the withdrawal of AFSPA, the Chief Minister said, "No right-thinking person can turn around and tell you that AFSPA should be revoked in one shot. It is not possible at a point where you still have militant encounters and things like that going on. The overnight revocation of the AFSPA from the entire State is not possible. He, however, said there are areas where the Army has "virtually no presence and virtually no role to play". "It is in those areas that we are contemplating withdrawing the Disturbed Areas Act which will then automatically mean that the AFSPA does not apply there," the Chief Minister said. Omar also said the State Government has started moving back the forces and the recent dismantling of 16 bunkers in Srinagar was a first step. "We hope to continue until we reach a level where the visible presence is greatly reduced," he said.

US President Barack Obama, during his interaction with students at the St. Xavier's College Mumbai, on November 7 expressed the hope that India and Pakistan would be able to live in peace despite their past history, reported Times of India. However, he stressed India's key role in bringing about a stable Pakistan and said a peaceful Pakistan would be in India's interest. Obama also said the progress by Pakistan in fighting terrorism is not quick enough and asserted that the US was working with Islamabad to eradicate extremism which is a "cancer". Noting that there are some elements in Pakistan that are affiliated with Taliban, al Qaeda and the Lashkar-e-Toiba(LeT), he said they are "irreconcilable" and there needs to be a military response to those who perpetrate violence like they did in Mumbai and New York in a "significant, ongoing" way. The US President also regretted the fact that the "great religion" of Islam has been distorted by a few extremists to justify violence towards innocent people and called for isolating of those elements.

Hindustan times reports that 14-year-old Barun Munda, a cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who surrendered before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghatsila on November 8 has pleaded before the Jharkhand Police to help him pursue studies claiming that he had been 'trapped' by the Ghurabandha squad of the Maoists, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Ranjit Prasad said. Barun was a VIth standard student at Jamua. A nephew of hardcore Maoist Phogra Munda, he was in the squad for about a year when he was asked to do errands like carrying the Maoists' fire-arms and preparing food except when on particular "assignments like murder or act of sabotage on specific days." Barun was accused in the killings of two persons a few months ago and of blowing up rail tracks near Dalbhumgarh during a bandh called by the Maoists early this year. The boy claimed before the Police that he was lured by the Maoists since he wanted to earn fast bucks "for studies". Barun had made up his mind to flee from the group after the Maoists repeatedly refused to pay him, the SP Ranjit said.

"But it is our request that Pakistan cannot talk with India while the terrorist machinery is still active on its soil," he said. Meanwhile, answering a question at the press conference, Obama stuck to his line that the US had no role in Kashmir or any desire to impose a solution. "The US cannot impose solutions to these problems. I have indicated to the prime minister that we are happy to play any role the parties think is appropriate in reducing tensions. It is in the interest of the two countries, the region and the US," Obama said. But reflecting his own evidently deep convictions, he added that the US would be "happy to play any role in reducing tension" in Kashmir that the two sides consider appropriate.

Pakistan on November 8 said it hoped the United States would not be swayed by “power politics” in its support for a permanent seat for India in a reformed United Nations Security Council, reports Daily Times. “Pakistan believes that US endorsement of India’s bid for its permanent seat in the Security Council adds to the complexity of the process of reforms of the council,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abdul Basit said. The spokesman Abdul Basit said Pakistan’s position on UNSC’s reforms was based on principles. “Any reform of the council that contradicts the very fundamental principles of the UN Charter including the principle of sovereign equality; of equal rights and self-determination; and the principle of collective security would gravely undermine the system of international relations based on the UN Charter principles,” he said.

Further, the release claimed that after much investigation they got to know that some contract killers killed the village chief for money. The truth was apparently revealed by Jajang Gangte of United National Liberation Front (UNLF) that Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) & UNLF in alliance hired a Kuki National Army (KNA) cadre to eliminate the village chief for money matters.

Times of India reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘general secretary’ Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi says that the death of Azad was a severe blow for his outfit, but offers conditions for talks with the Government yet again. Replying to a question if in an interview that it was possible to talk with the Government after Azad's killing he said “ …For the past one and a half year, Comrades Azad, Kishenji and I have been stating our party's stand regarding talks... but government said talks would be held only if Maoists abjure violence. Keeping in view the war on the people...Azad continued declaring till the end that we would be ready for simultaneous ceasefire if the government is ready for it. The government doesn't feel any need for holding talks. It is crystal clear that there is no conducive atmosphere for talks. In spite of this, we request the people to demand from the government to prove its commitment to talks by implementing the following steps. (a) Stop Operation Green Hunt. Withdraw paramilitary forces. If government stops its offensive, then the counter-offensive would also stop. (b) Ours is a political party...with an ideological and military line and clear-cut policies on matters relating to culture, caste, gender, nationality etc. So the ban on our party should be lifted. (c) In Andhra Pradesh, Comrade Riyaz who participated in talks with the government in 2004 was murdered... Azad was murdered. It is not possible to believe the government and send underground comrades for talks... If the government releases our leadership from jails, then they would directly represent our party in the talks.”

Meanwhile, even after 40 days of their conditional release ordered by the Unified Command for a period of three months under the PSA, two stone pelters, Firdous Shah and Manzoor Ahmed, remained confined to Kot Bhalwal jail as no one from their families have turned up to fill a bond and give two sureties (by the parents) for their release from the jail. Release of a total of 12 PSA detenues for a period of three months was ordered by the Unified Command. Release of Shabir Shah from Kot Bhalwal jail was also delayed as he had declined to meet the conditions on the ground that he had never asked for the release and was not a stone pelter. Later, the Government had waived off conditions for his release on parole for one month due to sickness of his mother. Sources said the Government could review PSA cases of some more detenues shortly. Further, Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda said the cases of 50 to 60 separatists and stone pelters will be reviewed from time to time depending upon the situation.

The Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda on November 11 said that at least 500 militants of various groups are still active across the State and added that Security Forces (SFs) are on high alert to prevent fresh infiltration from across the border, Times of India reports. The DGP said, "At least 500 terrorists of various terror outfits including 300 in Kashmir Valley and roughly 200 are still active in Jammu", adding that the number of active militants is coming down due to sustained anti-terrorist operations by joint teams of SFs. He said all the agencies involved in the security grid are having perfect synergy and information is leading to successful anti-insurgency operations carried out in State. To a question about recent reports that appeared in the Pakistan media that terrorist organisations under the command of United Jihad Council (UJC) and other fundamentalist groups are mobilising people to sneak into India side, the DGP said, "These reports are not new and is not at all surprising. And what I can say only is that attempts of infiltration are going on for the last 20 years from across the border and the Line of Control and our forces are prepared to foil any such attempts."

The threat caused panic among the drivers, who have sought security from the Government. The latest threat to employees of girl’s school has come after a lull of about eight months, reflecting an upsurge in activities of militants in the urban areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) have planned to carry out suicide attacks in Islamabad and other parts of the country, Daily Times quoting Intelligence reports on November 12. According to intelligence information, TTP ‘commander’ Qari Momin sent four suicide bombers to attack Eid congregations in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan and Faisalabad. The LeJ is also likely to target Eid congregations, mosques, Imambargahs (Shia place of worship), shrines, Police and Army establishments and places of worship belonging to minorities. The intelligence and law enforcement agencies have also received threats through fax by the TTP. An intelligence report stated that a terrorist, Ibrar, assigned the task of suicide bombings to his accomplices across the country. Reports further revealed that the terrorists had sent an explosive-laden vehicle from Miranshah of North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to the high value targets in Punjab.

The United States (US) terrorism expert Bruce Riedel while talking with Spiegel Online on November 12 about how explosive the situation was in Pakistan and how much influence al Qaeda still had, said that coup in Pakistan a real possibility, reports Daily Times. On increasing talk of trying to negotiate with the Afghan Taliban to achieve a political settlement, Riedel said, “We’re all war weary and are looking for a way out. We would all like a political solution but the question is: are the Taliban capable of the kind of process of compromise and negotiations that we want? And can it be separated from al Qaeda? The odds are good that the answer is no and that the ties between the two are too strong. For example, there was an attempted attack on the metro system in New York City last year, which was al Qaeda-sponsored, but the terrorists had been given to al Qaeda by the Afghan Taliban. That suggests it’s going to be very hard to break up the connection,” adding, “Al Qaeda today remains a very dangerous foe and must not be underestimated.”

Abdul Khaliq Farahi, the Afghanistan consul general in Peshawar who had been abducted on September 22, 2008 from Hayatabad area of Peshawar, was released by his captors in the night of November 13, reports Dawn. An Afghanistan diplomat in Islamabad confirmed his release. “Yes, Abdul Khaliq Farahi has been freed,” Abdul Jalil told Dawn on telephone. But he did not disclose the place where he was set free. Sources said the diplomat had been handed over to Afghanistan authorities by the abductors somewhere in eastern Afghanistan. In May 2010, a news agency released a video, which it said was released by Abdul Khaliq Farahi’s abductors. A little known militant organisation, led by Kateeba Salahuddin Ayubi, which released the video, had claimed responsibility for the abduction. Abdul Khaliq Farahi had been designated ambassador to Pakistan by the Afghanistan Government a few days before his abduction.

Pakistan has used terror outfits as a hedge against India, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on November 13, reports The Hindu. In an assessment of the situation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the US policy of creating the Mujahideen to oust the Soviet Union from Afghanistan had boomeranged. Pakistan's policy towards India and Afghanistan was “changing” for the better, but she could not vouch for a U-turn. “They [Pakistan] have in the past hedged against both India and an unfriendly regime in Afghanistan by supporting groups that will be their proxies in trying to prevent either India or an unfriendly Afghan government from undermining their position. That is changing... Now, I cannot sit here and tell you that it has changed, but that is changing,” she told ABC News in an interview the transcripts of which were released by the State Department.

The United States should use drones to target Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) hideouts if Pakistan does not destroy them, says US bipartisan task force on November 13, reports Dawn. In a report to the Barack Obama administration, the task force warns that another Mumbai-like attack could lead to a full-fledged war between India and Pakistan. “What we are suggesting is that we include LeT in this target list, because if the Pakistanis aren’t willing to see this as a threat and indeed an existential threat to them, then we see it that way, and we are going to prosecute it,” Richard Armitage, former deputy Secretary of State said. Richard Armitage, while talking to the media after the release of the task force’s report on Pakistan and Afghanistan, urged Islamabad to realise that the Haqqani network also posed an existential threat to the Pakistani state. “I would hope they would see the Haqqani network in the same way they see Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), that this is ultimately a threat to them as well,” said Richard Armitage. “On Lashkar-e-Taiba, they have to see this as something that could, in a single stroke, cause war between India and Pakistan, something that I think would delight Al Qaeda no end,” he observed. “And why do I say this? LeT is trouble. As I have already indicated, if they have one more strike, another Mumbai-type attack, I do not think the Indian government can be held back,” he added further.

Hindustan Times reports that the cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) exploded three landmines and opened fire at joint forces in Bibihari-Madhupur and Keodesole forest areas of West Midnapore District during an overnight raid on November 14. Jhargram Additional Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar said the raids were launched by eight companies of Central Reserve police Force (CRPF), SAF and State Armed Police following a tip off that two squads of Maoists had gathered in the forests with explosives to perpetrate acts of sabotage. The joint forces retaliated and forced the Maoists to retreat, he said adding none was injured in the exchange. During searches the joint forces seized about 120 kilograms of explosives stacked in two plastic drums and stored under the ground near a water body in the Madhupur forest near Jamboni, which provides easy access to Jharkhand. The explosives included detonators and three landmines, a large number of cartridges besides a single barrel gun, he said.

An annual report of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to the UN General Assembly has once again dropped mention of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), in keeping with a trend that started in 2006, according to Times of India. On November 15, Pakistan's envoy Amjad Sial told the General Assembly debating the annual report of the UNSC that the absence of the J&K issue was "inadvertent". However, while welcoming the UNSC report, Indian diplomats said the issue has not been part of any UNSC report since 2006. In 2005, then UN secretary general Kofi Annan declared that the "plebiscite" issue could not be enforced or self-implemented. It was after Annan's remarks, made in the context of resumption of India-Pakistan dialogue in 2005, that the UNSC dropped reference to the dispute. In the past five years, there has been no such mention. The India-Pakistan issue has not been debated in the UNSC since 1965.

Security Forces (SFs) are drawing up an elaborate plan to cut off escape routes of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) to Myanmar by surrounding the militants in their bases deep inside forests on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border, reports Telegraph on November 15. NDFB militants carried out the recent strikes by sneaking into Assam from Myanmar through Arunachal Pradesh. According to one intelligence source, an officer quoted to have said that “Our objective is to encircle them within our territory by choking their routes of escape in order to prevent them from crossing over to Myanmar. For this to happen, close co-ordination between Army and Police forces of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh is a must. There are, however, areas of concern like non-availability of sufficient Police and Central Forces with the state Governments for deployment in the NDFB-infested areas.” He said these issues were discussed threadbare at November 14 meeting of the strategy group of the Unified Command, which was chaired by Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram.

In an interview to a US media outlet, Hamid Karzai also showed an unusual understanding of Pakistan’s problems in dealing with the militants. “My nature is not one that appreciates military. I’m not a pro-gun person, I don’t like guns or aeroplanes, so I can never talk in favourable terms about planes that are shooting people or bombing people,” said Mr Karzai when The Washington Post asked him if he believed US drone strikes in Pakistan were effective. “For the initial years, I was highly critical of Pakistan and their lack of action on the sanctuaries. Now I see Pakistan suffering more than we are in lots of ways.”

Pakistan has been the chief victim of international terrorism and curbing militancy is in the country’s own interest, Robert Blake, Assistant Secretary of state for South Asia, said on November 16 while noting that a stable Pakistan was in the interests of both the US and India, reports Daily Times. Robert Blake told a briefing that during his recent visit to India, President Barack Obama highlighted that Washington and New Delhi had shared interest in reducing Pakistan-India tensions. “I think the president was very clear that Pakistan itself has been the chief victim of international terrorism. And so it’s very much in its own interest to crackdown on these groups, which increasingly are operating as a syndicate and it’s very difficult to really distinguish between them,” he said.

German intelligence agents received evidence on November 17 from the United States that al Qaeda has sent two to four terrorists to Germany and United Kingdom (UK) via India and the UAE to carry out attacks, reports Indian Express. The mastermind behind the possible attacks was named as Mohammed Ilyas Kashmiri, the ‘chief’ of Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and a leading al Qaeda militant from Pakistan. He is alleged to be behind a bomb attack on the German Bakery in Pune (Maharashtra) in India on February 13, 2010. Kashmiri reportedly recruited the militants for the latest planned attacks in the Afghan-Pakistan border region.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is a profoundly dangerous outfit but not greater than al Qaeda, Daniel Benjamin, State Department coordinator for counter terrorism said on November 17, reports Indian Express. "Obviously, LeT is a profoundly dangerous group and its support that it derives from doing social services is like Hamas, is like Hezbollah, and is of course of great concern," Daniel Benjamin said. "I don't think I ever said LeT was more dangerous than al Qaeda, but it is certainly a very, very dangerous group. That is why the work that we are doing with Pakistan, aside from the law enforcement cooperation and we have been very supportive of Pakistan's efforts to bring Mumbai perpetrators to justice," Benjamin told reporters in response to a question.

According to the reports, the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) Court in Guwahati will most likely grant bail to United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘deputy commander-in-chief’ Raju Baruah on November 19 when it conducts the final hearing of three TADA cases pending against him. On November 16, the TADA Court wanted to know if the Government had any objection to granting of bail to Baruah in the above three cases. Government counsel K. Munir on the same day said the Government had no objection to Baruah’s bail plea because the Government favoured release of some ULFA leaders, including Baruah, from jail in view of their willingness to sit for peace talks. After Baruah’s release on bail, ULFA ‘foreign secretary’ Sasha Choudhury will move bail petition in the Court.

IANS reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) called for a 48-hour bandh (general shutdown) in Purulia District from November 21. In a letter to the media, Maoist spokesman Sumon said: “Two of our comrades, Biplab Bandopadhyay and Dhiren Murmu were killed by the joint forces during their operation in Ayodhya Hills in the District on November 12. Biplab was one of our most trusted leaders and spent his whole life for the development of the tribals, and Dhiren was one of our supporters.” “When Dhiren went to collect water from the spring, he was picked up and shot from a close range. Bandopadhyay was also killed in the similar manner. Protesting against the cold blooded and unjustified killing of two of our comrades, we will observe a two-day long bandh in the District November 21 and November 22. We also demand ‘Operation Green Hunt’ should be stopped immediately,” he wrote. “The government in the name of flushing out the Maoists from Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapore is conducting a diabolic operation in the area. This should be stopped immediately,” Sumon said in the letter.

Meanwhile, Assam is unlikely to get the additional Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMFs) it had asked for after the NDFB-ATF killed 24 people, reports Telegraph. Sources said the Centre was not in a position to spare forces given the large scale deployment of CPMFs in Maoist-affected States and in Bihar for Assembly polls. “During his recent visit to Assam to review the security scenario, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had remained non-committal about deployment of additional Central Forces in the state and had asked the State Government to mobilise its reserve police battalions for deployment in the NDFB-infested areas to launch an offensive against the outfit along with the army,” sources said.

11 years after the Kargil war in 1999, the Pakistan Army has included the names of 453 soldiers and officers who were killed during the conflict on its website, according to The Hindu. The 453 Pakistani soldiers are shown as killed in the Batalik-Kargil sector in Jammu and Kashmir. The names of those who died in Kargil are tucked away in a list of thousands of personnel killed while on duty posted in the Shuhada's Corner (Martyrs Corner) of the website. Several causes are cited for those who died in Kargil — “killed in action”, “enemy action”, “enemy firing”, “enemy artillery shelling” and even “road accident”. The list gives the name, rank, unit and location of death of each casualty. A majority of those who died in Kargil were soldiers from the Northern Light Infantry, a formation that was made a regular regiment of the Pakistan Army because of its performance in the 1999 conflict. It was earlier a paramilitary force formed by the amalgamation of several militias from the Northern Areas or Gilgit-Baltistan. The Army also reveals the codename given to the operation to occupy strategic mountains and heights on the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC) — Operation Koh-e-Paima or Mountain of Resolve. In some cases, the campaign is also referred to as Operation Kargil. During the Kargil conflict and in subsequent years, the Pakistan Army insisted that none of its regular soldiers were involved in the hostilities. This stance continued despite the Indian Army capturing several serving soldiers. The Pakistan Army never issued an official list of its casualties. The first admission of the Pakistan Army's involvement in the conflict came from the former Army Chief and President Pervez Musharraf, who revealed in his 2006 memoir In The Line of Fire that regular soldiers had fought in Kargil. General Musharraf's book said 357 troops were killed and over 660 injured but political parties have claimed that thousands of soldiers and insurgents died in the conflict. The opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz put the death toll at 3,000 and nearly 200 Pakistani casualties were buried on the Indian side.

What we are seeing is Pakistani Government, Pakistani Army taking action against some of these safe havens, disrupting them and increasingly coordinating with us in, not in cross-border, but on either-side-of-the-border operations against these groups,” Gates said, adding, “I think that the Pakistanis taking it on is clearly preferable.”

The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), an anti-Shia militant group accused of having links with al Qaeda, has split into at least eight small cells to better coordinate its activities across Pakistan, according to a media report, PTI reported on November 18. "The creation of the cells is aimed at coordinating the banned group’s activities in the area ranging from the southern port city of Karachi to Waziristan in the restive tribal belt bordering Afghanistan," the Express Tribune newspaper quoted its sources in Kohat, Hangu, Peshawar and Lahore as saying. "Each sub-group is responsible for carrying out activities in a specific geographic location," one of the sources said. Individuals with connections within the LeJ and intelligence officials tracking the group said the move appeared to be an attempt to outsmart law enforcement agencies. "It looks like (LeJ strategists) don’t want to put all their eggs in one basket," said an unnamed intelligence official, adding, "It’s a typical guerrilla warfare and urban militancy technique. With scattered cells, they have better chances of survival by diverting the focus of law enforcement agencies." The LeJ, which is dominated by militants from Punjab, has established hideouts inside North Waziristan tribal region, which is controlled by the network of Afghan Taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani. While there are no significant signs suggesting that the Haqqani network is directly supporting LeJ activists, security officials contend the two groups have a strong commonality connecting them—both are staunch allies of al Qaeda. The daily quoted its sources as saying that the LeJ’s cell for Karachi and Balochistan has been named "Jundallah" but it operates separately from an existing organisation of the same name, led by separatist Iranian Sunnis, that is active in the same region. "That’s where intelligence agencies’ personnel are often mistaken. They sometimes confuse activists from one group with the other," an unnamed official in the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Sindh Province said. The LeJ is the biggest militant group operating in Karachi and 94 of 246 terrorists arrested in the city since 2001 belonged to it, according to a secret report of the CID. The LeJ, headed by Maulana Abdul Khalil, a fugitive militant leader from Punjab, operates mostly in central parts of Punjab and the tribal areas.

PTI reports that Government counsel Ujjwal Nikam told the Bombay High Court on November 19 that Pakistani Lashkar-Toiba (LeT) terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone arrested terrorist in the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), and his companions were instructed by their LeT handlers on telephone to hold as many hostages as possible during the terrorist attacks to demand from the Indian Government the creation of a "separate state for Muslims". To fulfil the demands for a separate State for Muslims in India and liberation of Kashmir, LeT advised the militants on phone to take VIPs as hostages to compel the Government to act on them, Nikam told the court. He said that LeT handlers had also advised the attackers to identify themselves as Indian Muslims belonging to Indian Mujahideen and hide the fact that they had come from Pakistan. Nikam added that these informations were contained in the intercepts of telephonic conversations the handlers in Pakistan had with the terrorists during the 26/11 attacks.

Meanwhile, security arrangements have been beefed up along 121-kilometres Qazigund-Baramulla rail link in Kashmir as Northern Railways will begin the repair work on damaged tracks and railway stations from November 23 (today) with the aim of resuming the train services within next three to four days. "The repair work on the tracks and railway stations, which bore the brunt of violent protestors during the recent unrest, will commence from tomorrow and we are expecting to resume the operations within a week," an official of the Northern Railway told Daily Excelsior. The rail service, connecting North and South Kashmir, was suspended on July 31 after unruly protestors attacked the trains, damaged tracks and ransacked railway stations at several places in the Valley. Over 130 non-Kashmiri staff also fled in the wake of the unrest. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated the Valley's first rail service between Anantnag to Budgam District on October 11, 2008. The second phase of the train between Budgam to Baramulla was flagged off on February 14, 2009 followed by the third phase between Anantnag to Qazigund on October 28, 2009. Barring an IED blast by suspected militants on the track in Pulwama District on April 2, 2010, the service was a big success before worsening of the law and order situation in the Valley on June 11.

An arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant on November 26 rejected Pakistan’s claim that it has dismantled the terror infrastructure on its soil after the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), reports Daily Excelsior. "The training camps of LeT and other outfits were still active in Pakistan and its occupied Kashmir, despite a crackdown launched by the authorities there," Mohammad Saleem Rehmani alias Abu Saad, a resident of Nawab Sahib area of Sindh in Pakistan, told reporters. "About 250 to 300 militants were with me during the Daura-e-Khas (advanced course). We were being trained in handling weapons and launching attacks on security forces in Kashmir," the militant, who was part of an eight-member infiltrating column and managed their entry through Lolab sector of Kupwara District, said. Rehmani claimed that the permanent training camps were sealed by Pakistani authorities after 26/11. However, he added that various make shift camps have come up in the forests to facilitate the training of the recruits. He admitted that Pakistani Army was helping the militants to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir. "There are four to five launching pads active in 'Azad Kashmir' where 45 to 50 militants are always ready to infiltrate. When they are given green signal by the Army, they cross over," he said. Expressing his ignorance about involvement of Pakistani Army in training militants, he said, "I have not come across any Army officer during my training at several camps in Pakistan and PoK." Presenting the LeT militant before the media persons, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Shiv Murari Sahai said he was arrested by Police from Panzan area in Budgam District a few days back.

Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Shiv Murari Sahai on November 26 said that Police has concrete evidence about links between militants and separatists in triggering and planning the recent unrest in Kashmir valley, reported Daily Excelsior. "There is a concrete evidence that the recent agitation was planned," Sahai said, adding, Police have found evidence that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants planned the unrest and were in league with the separatist politicians. "As our investigations are making headway, we find that increasingly there is a very well-planned operation on part of the Lashkar to carry out incidents of stone-pelting and arson," he said. Sahai said Ghulam Mohammad Tantray, the tehsil (revenue unit) president of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) in Sopore town, had stayed with LeT ‘commander’ Furqan and was also maintaining contact through telephone with him. "There are the direct evidences to show how militant organisations and the so-called separatist leaders, who are leading a so-called peaceful agitation are very deeply linked," he added. The IGP said the recent upsurge in militant activity after the decline in the stone-pelting incidents was another link to prove that the unrest was planned. "Stone pelting has subsided and suddenly there is an upsurge in militant activity. There are arrests of Pakistani militants, there have been killings, this cannot be an innocent balance that once the stone pelting increases the militant violence decreases," he said. Sahai also claimed that during the interrogation of a stone-pelter in Sopore it was revealed that militants are hiding in a house in Sopore. "When the house was raided, we make some recoveries which included uniforms with badges of (different) ranks. We conclude that militants were planning to operate in uniform and these are the likely signs of fidayeen (suicide) attacks," he said. He said Police has busted a module of boys, recruited by a LeT operative from Batamaloo locality of Srinagar, who were involved in hurling grenades. Talking about training camps in Pakistan Sahai added, "The militant groups including Lashkar are openly motivating youth to train them for attacks on security forces in Kashmir. The militant has revealed that most of the camps and motivation centres, which were claimed to have been closed by Pakistan government, are still functional." Sahai said the militants were put through three courses before being selected for carrying out suicide attacks. "The first phase is Daura-e-Aam (ordinary training) followed by Daura-e-Khas. The best out of the second stage are selected for Daura-e-Lashkar (Lashkar or Army training) to carry out suicide attacks," he said adding it indicated the kind of training received by Rehmani before being sent here.

Meanwhile, extending a call for a complete boycott of panchayat (village level local self government institution) elections in the District, the Maoists have asked villagers to abstain from voting and contesting the polls. Central Zonal Committee of the CPI-Maoist spokesperson Paramjeet said that Maoists have a wide base in rural areas and the panchayat election is nothing but a conspiracy of the ruling class to create a divide among the cadres. "We have appealed to our sympathisers and villagers to keep away from the polls but action could be harsh if someone from within the party decides to contest the election," Paramjeet said.

The Hindu reports that the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on November 26 approved the commencement of an Integrated Action Plan (IAP) in 60 selected Districts affected by Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] violence with the aim of giving a fillip to development schemes in tribal and backward regions. The IAP would be an additional central assistance scheme on a 100 per cent grant basis. It is aimed at quick resolution of problems concerning healthcare, drinking water, education and roads. In 2010-11 alone, each of the 60 Districts will be given a block grant of INR 250 million, with the total coming to a INR 15, 000 million. In 2011-12, the grant will go up to INR 300 million each. “This is in pursuance of the Finance Minister's announcement in his budget speech of 2010-11 and the Prime Minister's address to the National Development Council on July 24. The scheme, to begin with, will be implemented over two years – 2010-11 to 2011-12,” Home Minister P. Chidambaram told journalists. Schemes would be decided by a committee, headed by the District Collector. The Superintendent of Police and the District Forest Officer would be its members. The IAP would be reviewed for implementation in the 12th Plan at a later stage, Chidambaram said.Meanwhile, the existing Kalahandi-Bolangir-Koraput (KBK) plan would continue, with an annual allocation of INR 1,300 million for all the eight Districts (Kalahandi, Naupada, Bolangir, Subarnapur, Koraput, Malkangiri, Rayagada and Nabarangpur) in Odisha put together. The eight KBK Districts have been included in the IAP. They would get an additional block grant of INR 250 million each in the current year, 2010, and a suitable additional amount under both State and District components of the IAP in the subsequent years. The IAP would focus on improvements in governance and the States would have to comply with specific preconditions before availing themselves of the second tranche of the additional financial assistance in 2011-12 under the State component of the IAP. However, these conditionalities would not apply to the District component of the IAP, according to the CCEA decision.

Two militants, suspected to be from strife-torn autonomous Russian province of Chechnya, have made their way to the Kashmir Valley, highly placed sources said on November 26, Times of India reports. The militants from the Central Asian region, identified only by their code names of Umar and Usman, were spotted from a photograph recovered by Police during a recent anti-militancy operation in Sopore in Baramulla District. The photograph shows the alleged Chechen militants armed to teeth with latest assault rifles and other ammunition. The sources said the duo has been active in Sopore for several months now and the Security Forces have launched special operations to track them down. The foreign militants are believed to have sneaked into the Valley in late spring or early summer during one of the many dozen infiltration bids launched by the militants from across the Line of Control (LoC), they said. The sources said more than 60 militants, mostly foreigners, are active in Sopore. Meanwhile, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Shiv Murari Sahai confirmed the recovery of the photograph. "However, the contents of the photograph need to be authenticated with regard to the location where it was taken and the nationality of those pictured in it," Sahai said.

Doda Police have initiated a process to attach the property of about 100 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), who were involved in a series of subversive activities in Doda District, including killings, but were presently operating from Pakistan or Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), Daily Excelsior reports. Proceedings to attach property of two ‘commanders’ —one each of LeT and HM — were set into motion on November 30 after Police got proclamation against the militants issued under Section 87 of the Criminal Procedure Code from the court. The militants against whom the process to attach property has been initiated, included Mohammad Amin alias Khubeb son of Dawood Bhat, a resident of (r/o) Kathwa, Thathri, a LeT ‘commander’, who has been operating as 'Launching Officer’ in PoK with the name of Gazi and Abdul Rashid son of Arsala Khandey r/o Khanpura in Thathri, who is reportedly based in a Muzaffarabad camp of HM in PoK. The militants have property in the form of houses, shops, and costlier goods etc. in Thathri and other places in Doda. The cases are being prepared to get proclamation against many other militants issued from the court to attach their property and send a stern message to the militants and their commanders that they could face action in the First Information Reports (FIRs) registered against them despite fleeing to Pakistan or PoK, official sources said. To avoid from getting their property attached, the militants would have to return and surrender. The State Government has already announced a Rehabilitation Policy for the militants under which they could return to the State from PoK.

Police on November 30 said that the three militants killed in the gun battle at a market place in Srinagar on November 29 were cadres of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit and were also involved in the recent killing of two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in Baramulla District, according to Daily Excelsior. "The slain militants were working as a Jaish module which was headed by Waseem Raja Guru and the rented accommodation of Arshid Bashir was used as a hideout. The module was also involved in the killing of two CRPF men in Pattan area of Baramulla district on November 10," Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda told reporters. He revealed the identity of the slain militants as Waseem Raja Guru and Arshid Bashir, both residents of Sopore, and Zahoor Ahmad Hajam of Bandipora. Stating that the infiltration of militants from across the border continued across the State, Khoda said around 100 militants had managed to sneak into this side, even as more than 200 militants, including some top ‘commanders’ have been killed in 2010. About the number of active militants in the State, he said 400 to 450 militants were still at large which has forced their handlers across the Line of Control (LoC) to change strategy from time to time to carry out their designs. The DGP reiterated that there was a clear nexus between militancy and street protests in the Valley, which has come to the fore during investigations into the summer unrest. "More than 3000 persons were arrested in connection with fuelling or taking part in the street protests and stone-pelting incidents. Most of them have been bailed out or their detention has been quashed," he said adding "at present, we have 124 persons detained under Public Safety Act (PSA), 12 in judicial custody and 29 in police custody."

Pakistan's Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are covertly sponsoring four militant groups, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), and will not abandon them for any amount of US money, the American envoy to Islamabad wrote in a secret review in 2009, reveals diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, Times of India reports on December 1. According to a report in British Newspaper The Guardian on November 30, the review said that Pakistan had received more than USD 16 billion in American aid since 2001, but "there is no chance that Pakistan will view enhanced assistance... as sufficient compensation for abandoning support to these groups", former US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson wrote in the review of Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy in September 2009. Secret cables, which were leaked by WikiLeaks, show that US diplomats and spies believe Pakistan Army and its ISI continue to quietly back four militant groups — the Afghan Taliban, its allied Haqqani and Hekmatyar networks on the western Afghan frontier, and LeT on the eastern border with India. Some ISI officials "continue to maintain ties with a wide array of extremist organisations, in particular the Taliban, LeT and other extremist organizations," US secretary of state Hillary Clinton wrote in December 2009.

On November 30, A British TV channel, Channel 4, broadcast a video of alleged massacre of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres and civilians by Sri Lankan Security Forces, supposedly shot shortly before the final triumph of the Sri Lankan Army over the LTTE in May 2009, reports Times of India. The five-minute video, apparently shot with a cellphone camera (one of the frames has a soldier holding up a cell phone) showed naked prisoners with their hands tied behind their backs being shot from behind by soldiers with assault rifles. The killings took place in a field littered with naked, bloody corpses, some with their heads blown off. The pro-LTTE website Tamilnet identified one of the female victims as Shoba alias Isaippiriya, a journalist. In the video soldiers were heard talking among themselves and Channel 4 said the lewd and callous comments strongly suggested that sexual assaults on the prisoners had taken place before their deaths. The Sri Lankan High Commission in London dismissed the footage as unauthentic. Incidentally, this broadcast coincided with the visit of Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa to the UK.
