According to Times of India, the Union Minister of Home Affairs P. Chidambaram said on September 1 that he had raised the issue of fake Indian currency being smuggled out of Nepal with the country’s Prime Minister on a recent visit and the matter will be further pursued at official levels. "I did mention the problem of fake currency to him (Nepal Prime Minister). He shared our concern. This will be followed by Home Secretary level talks," Chidambaram said. He also said that though the notes were being routed through Nepal, they were being printed elsewhere. Chidambaram had called on Nepal Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on August 20 and also met the Nepal's Home Minister en route to Bhutan. Regarding insurgency groups using Bhutan's territory to set up training camps, the Union Home Minister said there was some evidence to suggest that terrorist groups like the United Liberation front of Asom (ULFA) were active in the area.

An Army Division, comprising around 15,000 troops, is being withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir and some of its units have already returned to its base in the State of Himachal Pradesh, a senior Army officer said on September 1. On withdrawal of the 39 Mountain Division from Rajouri and Poonch border Districts to its base in Palampur in Himachal Pradesh (HP), General Officer Commanding (GOC), 9 Corps, Lt Gen G. M. Nair, said, "This Division is being shifted. Some of its units have already reached its base in HP." 39 Mountain Division was shifted to Rajouri and Poonch districts to assist joint security grid in conducting counter-insurgency operations and undertake counter infiltration measures in 1994. "It takes nearly six months to shift the entire Division," he said, adding the process is on. He also said Pakistan is building fortifications along the border and more than 50 militants are waiting to infiltrate into Jammu sector from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). "They (Pakistan) have dug up bunkers and ditches and set up a few observation towers along Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab borders," Lt Gen Nair said. Nearly 50 to 60 militants from PoK are waiting to sneak into Jammu sector prompting the Army to keep an extra vigil at the borders, he said.

Chidambaram accused Pakistan of not being serious in punishing perpetrators of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and allowing the terrorist infrastructure to continue intact. "Pakistan is not serious about prosecuting and punishing those responsible for perpetrating the Mumbai attacks. They are still on Pakistani soil," Chidambaram said. He was responding to Pakistan's reaction to dossiers given by India. Chidambaram also said that the terror infrastructure, which helped attacks like the one in Mumbai to be carried out, was intact across the border. "That is my complaint against Pakistan and that is my disappointment with Pakistan," he added. Asked about Islamabad's repeated questions on the dossiers, he said, "I hope that they will not be able to invent more questions."

Militants on September 1 carried out twin strikes on Security Forces in the capital Srinagar within 500 metres of the State Legislative Assembly, which is in session, killing two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers and injuring 26 others, Daily Excelsior reported. Militants armed with silencer-fitted pistols shot at two CRPF personnel from point blank range just outside the UCO Bank at Budshah Chowk, killing constables Rajesh Shekhar and Mulkranjan Rampa of the 28th Battalion. Minutes later, on the other side of Budshah Bridge, militants lobbed a hand grenade on CRPF troopers at Batamaloo, resulting in injuries to 26 persons, including four CRPF soldiers and two Policemen. Official sources said CRPF and Policemen seemed to be the target of the militant attack but many civilians were hit by the splinters as the area is usually crowded. The Deputy Inspector General of Police (Central Kashmir), Hemant Kumar Lohia, said Police has reasons to believe that the latest attacks and on August 1 were the handiwork of the same module of militants. "We have more or less identified the module of militants since taking up investigations in the cases of attacks. We have identified the call signs and codes of the members of these modules and now we have to fix a face to these," Lohia told reporters at a press conference. He said Police has been able to get some mugshots of the latest incidents from closed-circuit cameras installed in the city and identified a suspect who might be involved. "We will enlarge the shots and identify the person by verifying the registration details of the motorcycle he is riding," he added. He said two modules of up to nine members each are active in Srinagar and the Police have been tracking them. He said, "They are keeping the numbers low and the members are mostly from Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. They keep lesser numbers in loop which helps them evade detection for a longer time." Asked if the militants were carrying out fresh recruitments within the Valley, the officer said it is a fact that it was happening. "If there were no recruitments by militants, there would be no militancy…. But it is not at the large scale as suggested," he said when asked to comment on reports that militants have managed to recruit 200 to 300 fresh youth.

The Maoists resorted to barricading of roads by felling trees in the forest pockets of Khammam District as part of the two-day shutdown call given by them in the North Telangana Districts opposing the opencast mining by the Singareni collieries in the coal belt, large scale submergence by the Polavaram project and illegal damming in the upper stretches of Godavari River by the Government of Maharashtra. The shutdown, also backed by the Janashakti faction of the Communist party of India-Marxist-Leninist (CPI-M-L Janashakti), however, evoked no response in the tribal pockets while life remained normal in the coal bet too. Superintendent of Police Anil Kumar said the elements who were involved in barricading the forest routes have been identified. He said some Maoists had come from across the inter-State border for creating the obstacles to the vehicular traffic in the forest pocket. By and large life was reportedly normal in Bhadrachalam, Palvancha and Kothagudem divisions.

Yet another infiltration attempt, backed by Pakistan troops, was made by a group of Pakistani militants from the Line of Control (LoC) at Sagra village in the Mendhar sector of Poonch district in the early hours of September 1. An Army trooper is reported to have died in the firing from across the LoC. "It was being ascertained as to whether the bullet was fired by Pakistan army or the militants trying to sneak-in. The bullet was fired from a sniper rifle which was available with top commanders of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen militants", official sources told the Daily Excelsior. The Indian Army is reported to have sought a flag meeting with Pakistan army commanders on the LoC to lodge a protest on both aspects – the cease-fire violation and infiltration attempt by the militants. According to sources, Pakistan army and Rangers have been using a new modus operandi on the LoC as well as the International Border (IB) to push militants. They first target forward Indian posts and then try to push the militants by diverting the attention of the Security Forces. However, the Pakistan army and Rangers have not succeeded in their plan so far, sources added.

At least 40 militants were killed as Security Forces (SFs) launched a massive operation in the Bara sub-division of Khyber Agency on September 1, The News reported. The operation, codenamed Bia Daraghlam (here I come again) was launched in the aftermath of a spate of beheading in the region, sources said. Locals said nearly 35 beheaded bodies were recovered from different areas of Bara over the past one month. Briefing journalists about the operation, sector commander of the SFs, Brigadier Faiz, and Political Agent of the Khyber Agency Tariq Hayat Khan said 40 militants had been killed and 43 were arrested. The arrested militants were produced before the media along with the arms seized during search operations. The two officials said four militant hideouts were destroyed during the operation. They also said the ground forces were supported by military helicopters that targeted the hideouts of militants. The officials said the operation was not against a particular group or individual, but to purge the area of the miscreants. Locals said the banned Lashkar-e-Islam activists did not offer any resistance to the operation which was launched in the morning. They had reportedly already vacated their areas to take refuge in the nearby mountains. Sources said the Frontier Corps (FC) and Army troops were taking part in the operation and reported to have captured all important places of militants around 3am.

The arrested top leader of the India Asif Reza Commando Force (ARCF), Mufti Obaidullah, revealed during interrogation that militants fighting in Jammu and Kashmir have regularly used Bangladesh as a transit point to travel to Pakistan and have built safe havens in that country to shelter and train militants for terrorist operations in the region, reports Daily Star. Obaidullah said Pakistani militants crossed the Line of Control (LoC) to enter India to run terrorist operations and fight with Government forces in Jammu and Kashmir and then cross the border into Bangladesh to fly back to Pakistan. "As it was tough to cross back to Pakistan through the India-Pakistan border, the Mujahideen would cross to Bangladesh and then left for their destinations using fake passports and visas," the interrogation statement said. He said that his student Selim and close associate Jalal helped him in this operation. Obaidullah also said he had built a safe-home in Habiganj in 2002 to shelter fugitive terrorists, and recruit and train Bangladeshis to take part in terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, India and Pakistan. Obaidullah reportedly built the safe-shelter under the cover of a kindergarten named 'Noor Shah Islami Kindergarten' in Habiganj District. One of the operations chiefs of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in Bangladesh, Faisal alias Khurram Khaiyam alias Abdullah, supplied BNR 18,000 in two installments to Obaidullah to construct the house. In his statement, Obaidullah said that several other militants in Bangladesh visited his safe-home, including Moulana Mohiuddin, who he knew from the Deoband madrassa (seminary), and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) leader Mufti Abdur Rouf. Later, the then ARCF chief, Asif Reza, ordered Habibullah and Jamal to open a training camp for Bangladeshi recruits that would also serve as a safe shelter for Pakistani and Indian militants, according to Obaidullah's statement. In 2005, Obaidullah met ARCF chief Amir Reza, Asif Reza's brother, at Khurram's house near the Noorani mosque in Dhaka's Goran area.

About 60-armed cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked the base office of SPML Road Construction Company under Chandramandi outpost of Chakai Police station, about 40 kilometers from the headquarters of Jamui District, at around 11.30 pm and abducted eight of its security guards in Jamui District in the night of September 2, reported Times of India. Two of the guards, however, managed to escape during an encounter that later took place between the extremists and Police. The Maoists raided the SPML plant at Hariondhi village and damaged pay loaders and three trucks, the Additional Director General (Headquarters) Neelmani said. The Maoists also set ablaze six vans and damaged the store where construction materials were kept. Neelmani said though Special Task Force personnel, assisted by district-armed policemen, engaged the Maoists in an encounter for some time, the extremists managed to escape into the thick forest lining the Jamui-Chakai Road. During the exchange of fire between Police and Maoists that went on for about half an hour, two of the abducted guards managed to slip away. The other six were taken away by the Maoists, who threatened the company with dire consequences if it did not pay levy. The non-payment of levy demanded by the Maoists from the private firm owner was allegedly the reason for the attack, the officer added. Meanwhile, sources said SPML has suffered losses worth INR 2 crore in the Maoist attack. PTI reports that over 400 Maoists were involved in the attack.

Bihar is likely to become the fourth State to have its own anti-terrorist squad (ATS), the blueprint for which has already been prepared, reports Telegraph. “The Bihar ATS will be armed with modern and latest weapon system after the home department approves it,” said an unnamed senior official. The Bihar ATS — to be headed by an officer of inspector-general rank — will have two deputy inspectors-general and four superintendents of police, says the blueprint. The ATS will have more than two dozen “operational units” within itself to deal with emergency situations. The squad will be raised from the existing personnel of Bihar Military Police and be specially trained to deal with sudden strikes. Currently, Bihar has a Special Task Force which deals with cases of organised crime and Maoist insurgency. Only Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have an ATS.

A division bench of the Lahore High Court on September 2 granted bail to 11 activists of the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JD, the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] front), who were in jail since the UN imposed sanctions on the JD, The News reported. Abdul Shakoor, Muhammad Hanif and others were arrested from Bahawalnagar under the Anti-Terrorism Act. During the course of hearing, Deputy Prosecutor General Chaudhry Jamshed argued that the JD was a banned organisation but its activists continued collecting funds, distributing religious literature and doing other activities. However, the accused-petitioner’s counsel Irshadullah Chatta stated that there was no notification regarding the ban on JD. He argued that an organisation could not be banned until a notification under Section 11 B was issued. He said the Government had already admitted in the Hafiz Saeed case that it had no substantial evidence against the JD. The bench comprising Chief Justice Khawaja Muhammad Sharif and Justice Ijaz Ahmad Chaudhry after hearing the arguments granted them bail against surety bonds of PKR 100,000 each. The released JD activists included Muhammad Siddiq, Abbas Dogar, Saeed Amir, Arif Ali, Muhammad Akram, Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, Master Abdul Shakoor and Muhammad Anwar.

Daily Mirror reports that a racket carried out in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Vavuniya to help the LTTE militants still hiding there to escape using false National Identity Cards (NICs) had come to light recently, Police sources said. These false NICs had been produced by some persons within the IDP camps with the help of several outsiders as well and had been sold at very high prices to yet to be detected LTTE militants in the IDPs camps. The Police source said that the racket came to light after the arrest of a suspect, identified as 46-year-old Subramanium Rachchandran, who had tried to escape following treatment at the Vavuniya hospital. Police said the false identity card was discovered when the suspect had shown it while on his way out of the hospital posing as a person who had come in to see a patient. Although he was a resident of Jaffna, the identity card had been prepared stating that he was a resident of Vavuniya. When patients among the IDPs are admitted to hospital their NICs have to be surrendered to the relevant Grama Niladhari (village official) and the NICs are returned once they are discharged from hospital. Police suspect that some persons smuggle the false identity cards to hospital and help the LTTE militants escape from there.

The Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor said on September 4 that India would be forced to retaliate in case Pakistani army continues to violate the cease-fire and try to push in militants through the border under the cover of gunfire, Indian Express reported. Reacting to queries on the increase in the number of infiltration bids in Jammu and Kashmir, General Kapoor said this was consistent with the trend observed through the years that more and more militants want to enter the Valley before the arrival of the winter season, with Pakistani soldiers trying to divert the attention by indulging in firing from across the border. “We understand their tactics and will take appropriate steps,” he said in New Delhi. “As far as possible, we exercise maximum restraint. But if such ceasefire violations occur, it is automatic that at some stage, we will have to retaliate,” he said. The CoAS also said India had been routinely taking up the issue of cease-fire violations during border meetings with Pakistan. “Our effort is to continue the cease-fire so that there are not many casualties and the two countries are able to maintain good relations,” he added. Earlier on September 2, General Deepak Kapoor said Pakistan's efforts of increasing its nuclear strength were a matter of concern and that Islamabad was going well beyond the degree of deterrence. "There is a difference between having a degree deterrence, which is required for protection, and going beyond that. If the news reports of (Pakistan) having 70 to 90 atomic bombs are correct, then I think they are going well beyond the requirement of deterrence," said Gen Kapoor, who was speaking during his visit to the army's Artificial Limb Centre at Wanowrie in Pune in Maharashtra, Times of India reported.

The Punjab Police on September 4 claimed to have seized 2.5 kilograms of RDX, said to be a part of the consignment used in the attack on the convoy of Dera Sacha Sauda (a group regarded as 'heretic' by orthodox Sikhs) chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on February 2, 2008 near Pipli in Karnal District, reports Times of India. The Police also claimed to have seized two detonators and a pistol from two-murder accused brought to Patiala from Mansa for interrogation in another case. "We have seized 2.5 kg high-quality RDX, which is part of the same consignment as used in the attack on the Dera Sacha Sauda head in Karnal last year. The two murder accused were planning a big attack in Patiala and waiting for directions,'' the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Arpit Shukla said. The seizures were made after a preliminary interrogation of Makhan Singh and Raj Singh, accused in the murder of Dera follower Lily Kumar in Mansa and brought to Patiala in connection with the murder of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat (an organization of Sikhs) Rulda Singh, he said. The seized RDX was allegedly brought from Pakistan, he added, saying, "some terrorist outfits are planning big attacks in Punjab, but we are fully prepared.''

The SFs also shot dead a militant of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit, who was allegedly involved in the killing of two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers in a shoot out in the capital Srinagar earlier this week, during an encounter in the Pattan area of Baramulla District. "Police and Army killed one Hizbul Mujahideen militant at Poshwani in Pattan area of Baramulla district," a Police spokesman said.

According to The Hindu, India has never ruled out the involvement of state actors in Pakistan in the Mumbai terror attacks despite Islamabad’s contention to the contrary, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said. “We have never ruled out (involvement of) State actors. Although Pakistan has maintained that only non-State actors were involved, we have never ruled out the involvement of state actors and we have never accepted this distinction between state actors and non-state actors because both operated from Pakistani soil,” he told NDTV. He was replying to a question on possible links of the Pakistan Army in the attacks as Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) chief and mastermind of November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known 26/11), Hafiz Saeed, was accompanied by one ‘Major General Saab’ during a meeting with the lone arrested Mohammad Ajmal Amir ‘Kasab’ and other Mumbai terrorist attacks accused at a training camp. “Well that [involvement of Pakistan army] can only be revealed by investigation,” he said. Chidambaram termed as “atrocious” Pakistan’s decision to let off Saeed in the Mumbai case. “There is enough and more evidence to continue the investigation against Hafiz Saeed. On the face of this evidence, to let him off, I think, is atrocious,” the Union Home Minister said. “… So they know what we have but if there is an opportunity, I will certainly walk them through the dossier to point out that there is enough evidence [against the JuD chief],” the Home Minister said.

Daily News reports quoted Senior Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and Police Media Spokesperson Nimal Mediweka as saying that It is only if the Police Department is strengthened that the security of the country can be guaranteed and the underworld eradicated from this soil. The DIG squid on September 5 that though the war has ended and the LTTE leadership crushed, terrorism is not yet over. It may crop up again at any time anywhere in the country or outside the country. Hence it is essential for the public to be very vigilant and inform the Police as soon as possible if they witness any such moves, he said. In the past we have recovered 4,000 kilograms of C-4 bomb materials in Colombo and 48 LTTE group leaders have been arrested from Wellawatte, Kotahena and Modera masquerading as businessmen. This was possible because of Civil Defence Committees' help. There are 15 Civil Defence Committees in the city of Colombo. Civil Defence Committees have played a vital role and should continue this task for the benefit of all in the country, he further added.

An immediate grant of INR 150, 000, monthly stipends during training and even monetary incentives for surrender of weapons are all there for the asking for the banned Naxals (left wing extremists) under a surrender-cum-rehabilitation policy approved by the Union Government on September 7, according to Times of India. An immediate grant of INR 150, 000 shall be kept in a bank in the name of surrendered extremist as a fixed deposit which may be withdrawn by him or her after completion of three years, subject to good behaviour to be certified by the authorities designated for this purpose by the States concerned. This money can also be utilised as collateral security/margin money against loans to be availed of by the surrendered extremist from any bank for self-employment. Persons eligible under the scheme may be imparted training in a trade/vocation of their liking or befitting their aptitude. They shall be paid a monthly stipend of INR 2,000 each for a maximum period of 36 months. However, if the surrendered extremist secures any employment in Government or any gainful self-employment, the monthly stipend will be discontinued. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has also offered money incentives for surrender of weapons which include INR 15,000 for depositing one AK 47 or AK 56 or AK 74 Rifle. INR 25,000 will be given for each RPG/Sniper rifle, INR 3,000 for one Pistol/Revolver, INR 1,000 for a rocket, INR 3,000 for a Remote Control Device, INR 1,000 for IED, INR 3,000 for one mine, INR 20,000 for a SAM Missile and INR 10,000 for a Satellite Phone. The guidelines are applicable to those Naxals who surrender with or without arms. The policy for the Naxal-hit States announced was evolved by the MHA as part of a multi-pronged strategy to bring the extremists back into the mainstream in the backdrop of rising Naxal violence.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will soon have its own intelligence wing, Hindustan Times reported on September 7. “We have started the process,” said A.S. Gill, the CRPF Director-General, confirming the decision. The force will have 10 intelligence officers per battalion, attached to 150 of its battalions. The CRPF currently relies on State and Central agencies for intelligence inputs. The Home Ministry has also approved a proposal to add 38 new battalions to the force. In the revamp planned, the CRPF, which earlier worked to supplement the State Police and took directions from the latter, will now do so at an equal footing with the State Police in the Naxalite (left wing extremist) dominated States. “A coordinated offensive is needed to clear the areas where left wing extremists have built their bases,” said Gill.

Private security guards in Uttar Pradesh may soon starting looking more professional and confident as the State Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) is all set to train them to combat terror strikes, reports Times of India. "The move aims to engage private security agencies in our fight against terrorism," a senior official with the Uttar Pradesh ATS said. "Deployment of only those private security guards will be allowed at multiplexes, cinema halls, banks and other prominent private establishments, who have successfully completed the training programme," he added. According to an estimate, there are nearly 125,000 private security guards from about 300 security agencies operating in the State. Currently, there exists no rule that governs the deployment of security guards at private places. "The training programme primarily aims to equip private security guards in tackling crime," Additional Director General (Law and Order) A. K. Jain said. "It (training programme) would definitely enable them (private security personnel) to assist Police in tackling terror," Jain added. Meanwhile, highlighting the core contents of the training programme, the official said it would broadly comprise training the security guards on how to pick up early warning signs of terror strikes, how to handle a terror situation and how to act after terror strikes, officials said. Another important part of the training programme would focus on enabling security guards to engage terrorists before the arrival of Police and law enforcement agencies, they added. Most private security guards do not undergo any specific training to control terror activities and are deployed merely on the basis of their physical fitness, the official said. Even as no deadline has been fixed for launching the 60-hour training programme, sources in ATS said that the Home Department has directed them to initiate the programme "at the earliest". Sources said that the 60-hour training programme would be launched in a phased manner in parts of Uttar Pradesh. At the time of its launch, the training will cover security guards of Lucknow and several Districts of western Uttar Pradesh, they added.

Meanwhile, sources close to the BW outfit told that at 90 per cent of the BW cadres would deposit their arms before the Government on September 15. The outfit’s ‘deputy c-in-c’ Daniel Dimasa will lead the parade as there is still uncertainty over ‘commander-in-chief’ Niranjan Hojai’s presence. Further, Dilip Nunisa, chairman of the pro-talk faction of the (DHD) expressed his doubt over the sincerity of the BW. While, talking to Sentinel, Nunisa said that Jewel Garlosa alias Niranjan Hojai, the Commander-in-chief of the BW, had earlier surrendered along with the pro-talk faction, but he formed the separate fraction. Nunisa said the Government should consider the past records of Garlosa before releasing him as he was directly involved with a number of heinous crimes.

Three Naxalites (left wing extremists) of the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), were arrested after an encounter with the Police at Churugarha, about 70 kilometers from Ranchi, the Police said on September 8, reported PTI. The Police reached the spot after getting a tip-off that a group of JPC cadres had assembled at Churugarha to plot a crime in the night of September 7. The JPC cadres started firing as soon as they spotted the Police, triggering a two-hour long gun-battle before the Naxalites tried to flee. The police, however, chased and arrested three of them. Three rifles and some ammunition were seized from their possession, Senior Superintendent of Police Praveen Kumar said. Over 150 bullets were fired by both the sides, he added and claimed that some of the Naxalites had suffered bullet wounds, but they managed to escape. “One of the three arrested Naxalites, identified as Raj Kumar Ganju, is a big catch for the police,” he added further. Ganju was allegedly involved in a number of cases.

A plot to blow up at least seven transatlantic aircrafts of the UK airline using liquid explosives was masterminded from Pakistan, intelligence services said as more details emerged on September 8 of the complex planned attacks, reports Daily Times. British Police were forced to go to extraordinary lengths to build their case against the men who prosecutors said were hoping to cause more deaths than the September 11, 2001 attacks. The trial, which ended in the convictions of three British Muslims on September 7, was peppered with evidence that members of the London-based gang were frequently in contact with figures linked to al Qaeda in Pakistan. “In terms of al Qaeda involvement, there is a large part of this plot that has been thought through or invented in Pakistan,” one senior counter-terrorism source said after the trial. “This was a calculated and sophisticated plot to create a terrorist event of global proportions,” the Crown Prosecution Service said after the verdict. The jury was shown intercepted emails in which Abdulla Ahmed Ali, Tanvir Hussain and Assad Sarwar asked Pakistani contacts for advice on building bombs in drinks bottles to detonate on flights over the Atlantic. Prosecutors believed the absence of evidence establishing these links had led to a jury in the first trial in 2008 failing to reach a verdict on plotting to blow up the planes, forcing a second trial. Reports said the men’s main point of contact was Rashid Rauf, a British-born Muslim who had fled to the Tribal Areas in 2002 after the murder of his uncle and developed strong links with al Qaeda. Intelligence services also reportedly believed he was a key contact of the gang in the 2005 bombings of the London transport system, which killed 52 people. The trial heard that Ali had already been identified as a dangerous radical when he was stopped at London’s Heathrow Airport in June 2006 on his return from a trip to Pakistan. Over the next few months, they monitored Ali and his colleagues experimenting with injecting drinks’ bottles with a mixture of the explosive liquid hydrogen peroxide, which they planned to carry on to flights and detonate with a bulb filament. But reportedly the biggest counter-terrorism operation ever mounted in Britain, costing $57 million, was reportedly almost thrown into jeopardy by US intervention.

Around 200 militants destroyed a primary health centre at Nongpok Sekmai village of Thoubal District in the night of September 9, hours before an immunisation programme under the rural health mission was scheduled to start, according to Telegraph. “They tried to pull down the concrete building with hammers and rods. But when it turned out to be a time-consuming process, some of the militants went to neighbouring Ingourok village, around 2.5km away, to get the excavator which was being used for road construction. They used it to pull down the building,” an unnamed Police official said, quoting a village elder.

Elsewhere in the State, both the Manipur based PULF and People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were on recruitment drive in Jiribam, Jirighat, Lakhipur and Sonai areas in Cachar District, located in close proximity to Manipur and North Cachar Hills with easy access to the infamous extremist corridor of Myanmar, reports Sentinel. According to intelligence sources, both these outfits on technical ground with the objective of furthering the cause of disruptive and extraneous forces and financial backup from them have formed a nexus to help each other in gaining territorial hegemony and to extend their areas of influence. The intelligence inputs further said that PLA and PULF are exploiting the emotional bases of the grey areas on both sides of Asom-Manipur border. The latest information is that during the last week, six teenagers from different villages under Lakhipur, Jirighat and Jiribam Police Stations have been lured to join PLA. The recruitment drive is going on under the guidance of PLA ‘captain’ of the area, Jhang Singh. The sources said these youths have been taken for training at Khongtan located at Manipur-Myanmar border. Despite mounting vigilance as well as specific information of base operations by the SFs, PULF has also intensified its recruitment campaign by roping in youths and even middle aged persons from the minority dominated areas under Jiribam, Jirighat, Lakhipur, Sonai and Banskandi Police Stations. Anwar Hussain, resident of Labacpar under Lakhipur Police Station, used to induce and indoctrinate the recruits with money offers ranging from INR 80,000 to INR 100,000to join PULF. According to sources, during the last eight months, the outfit has been able to bolster up its strength by 20 new recruits.

intelligence sources said that a large number of armed Naxalites (left wing extremists) have taken shelter in the Ghatshila sub-division. The Naxalites, reportedly from West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, have assembled on the hills of Ghurabandha to attend a training camp in Jamshedpur. According to intelligence inputs, about 80 armed extremists were taking shelter at Pawadapahar, which is strategically located and is also considered a safe haven for Naxalites. Talking to Telegraph, the intelligence sources said that the Naxalite squads already have teams operating in Ghurabandha. “Two armed squads, led by Putu Munda and Kanhu Munda, operate in Ghurabandha. The strength of both squads is not more than 18. But those gathered at Pawadapahar are about 80 in number,” said a source. Intelligence reportedly alerted the District police about their presence. A week ago, the Police neutralised a training camp by conducting a special operation at Karlabera forest, under the jurisdiction of the Ghurabandha Police station. The Police team, led by East Singhbhum District Superintendent of Police Naveen Kumar Singh, had a fierce encounter with the extremists, who had set up five watch-towers and thatched houses to live in. The spot where the Naxalites have gathered is about two kilometres to the north-west of Karlabera. Some suspect that the extremists may have also sneaked into Pawadapahar from the Gorumahisani Police station area of bordering Mayurbhanj District in the State of Orissa. “Several maybe new recruits. But their frequent visits have made the area more sensitive,” said the intelligence source, who, claimed to have intimated the Police about heightened Naxalite activities in the Ghatshila sub-division and also in the Dalma region.

The fast-track court II of Awdhesh Mal on September 9 found a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader, Shyam Sinku, guilty in an arms case and sentenced him to five years’ rigorous imprisonment (RI), Telegraph reports. Sinku, an ‘area commander’ of the Ghurabandha region in the Ghatshila sub-division of the East Singhbhum District, was arrested from the same Police station area on June 26, 2006. On being interrogated, the Maoist revealed the address of a hideout in Dumaria. Police had raided the place and recovered two rifles, including a self-loading one. A case was registered against him under the arms act at the Dumaria Police station on the basis of an FIR lodged by then officer-in-charge Manoj Kumar Gupta. Sinku, a Kumardubi resident, had told the Police that he visited the steel city a number of times with his comrades. He also divulged secrets about the outfit’s operations in Ghatshila. Sinku, considered a hard-core extremist, was involved in many subversive activities in and around Ghatshila. In 2008, a Jamshedpur fast-track court had sentenced him to 10 years’ RI after he was found guilty of a murder attempt on the village headman of Kasiabera village. Sinku was the first extremist to be convicted in a court of law by the Jamshedpur civil court.

Cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) triggered about a dozen explosions blowing up railway tracks and at least four Government buildings in the Sundargarh District in the early morning of September 10 (today), reports Times of India. The Maoists have called for a 24-hour shut-down in the District to demand release of 30 people, who were arrested on August 29 on the suspicion that they were Maoists. The extremists blasted railway tracks at around seven places between Bimlagarh and Patangi, Police said. They also blew up an abandoned Police station building at Kalta, another building where a CRPF camp was functioning earlier, a community centre and office building of the CITU, Police said, adding they also set ablaze a truck. Train services between Rourkela and Barsuan have been completely disrupted due to the blasts. The route is used mainly for transportation of raw materials to Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP). Train services on the route had been disrupted for the last three days due to ongoing agitation by tribals demanding release of the 30 people branded as Maoists. So far there was no report about any casualty in the attacks carried out by the Maoists.

Times of India reports that Security Forces exchanged fire with a group of 50-60 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) near Bandih village at the foot of Ayodhya Hills near Kanthaljore forest in Purulia District in the early morning of September 11. The exchange of fire started at 1.30 am (IST) and lasted around 15 minutes, after which the Maoists fled towards Jharkhand. However, there were no casualties in the encounter. Few hours earlier, around 11.30 pm (IST) on September 10, the same Maoist group in military fatigue raided the house of a local leader of ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), Badan Paramanik, in Burudih village in the same District. Badan, whose name figures on the Maoist hitlist, has been staying away from home for some time. Failing to find him, the Maoists assaulted his son Goutam and wife Sabitri outside their home and warned that all of them would be killed if Badan did not quit the party immediately. They set ablaze to a haystack in the house before leaving. Further, the Maoists then went to the house of Chunnu Gorai, a well-heeled farmer, at the other end of the village and asked him to hand over his licensed gun. "As I refused to do so, they threatened to blow up my house using landmines. My wife then urged me to hand over the gun and I did so. The Maoists left, but only after hurling a few bombs outside our house in a bid to create panic among villagers," Gorai recalled.

Former President Pervez Musharraf said that his country should be given unmanned drones to target terrorists, Daily Times reported. He told FOX News in an interview on September 10 that al Qaeda has been significantly diminished in Pakistan, but the Taliban militants were thriving. “I personally believe that drones should be given to Pakistan because the sensitivity is American troops or any foreign troops coming into Pakistan,” he said. Musharraf believes that a combination of military might and political solutions would ultimately destroy the Taliban. They are digging their own grave by making Pakistanis turn away from them, he told FOX. He said Pakistan remained an American ally, but a growing divide was emerging because many Pakistanis do not like the US.

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik in an interview to The News published on September 10 said that Pakistan is still studying the evidence provided by India against the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)/ Jamat-ud-Dawa founder, and could not take action against him on the basis of “hearsay”, according to The Hindu. Malik also said India must stop blaming Pakistan for not being cooperative in the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) case. He attributed any delays to “foot-dragging” by New Delhi in providing information the Pakistani investigators had asked for. The Minister repeated his demand for information on the Samjhauta Express attack, once again drawing a link between those behind the February 2007 firebombing of the India-Pakistan train, in which more than 60 Pakistanis were killed, and the Mumbai attacks. He also reiterated Pakistan’s claims of “ample evidence” of the alleged Indian hand in Balochistan. Commenting on India’s demand for action against Hafiz Saeed for his role in the Mumbai attacks, the Minister said India’s latest information dossier had arrived “only 10 days ago” — it was given on August 21 — “and we need a few days to evaluate its veracity and also whether it can take the test of our courts. We cannot operate on hearsay alone.” He added another message for India: “We respect your courts. You respect ours.”

According to Daily Star, security agencies have prepared a fresh list of top outlaw cadres, their kingpins and political mentors in the country's south-western region as they launched a drive on September 5 to arrest the criminals. Names of 280 armed operatives of different outlaw and criminal groups, 80 linchpins and as many as 150 political mentors, often dubbed as godfather, have been included in the list, officials concerned told the Daily Star. A number of high officials of law enforcement agencies in the region confirmed that a fresh list has been made but declined to disclose the exact timeframe of the drive. The fresh list includes the most wanted criminals from terrorist outfits and criminal gangs, their armed cadres active in the region and their godfathers including a good number of leaders holding posts in major political parties, sources said. “Those people may be influential because of their political clout or other powers. When they shelter or patronise the criminals, they also become criminals in the eyes of law,” Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police of Khulna Range Sheikh Hemayat Hossain told. “Our action is now against those who are criminals,” the DIG added.

Even after the military defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on Sri Lankan soil and the destruction of its leadership, the global network of this terrorist organisation continues to be used vigorously against Sri Lanka, Export Development and International Trade Minister G. L. Peiris said in London last week, Daily Mirror on September 11. The Minister was addressing a group of eminent British lawyers, including Queen’s Counsel, in London. Peiris said the situation had changed dramatically with the arrest of senior LTTE personalities outside Sri Lanka, and the remaining activities of the terrorist organisation could be expected to wind down as a result of these developments. “It is important for the international community to be aware of the extent and tenacity of the misinformation campaign engaged in by groups of interests close to the terrorist organisation. The aim and objective of these interests was to ensure that foreign governments and multilateral organisations adopt hostile postures intended to stultify Sri Lankas development efforts at a particularly critical and sensitive time,” Minister Peiris observed. “While exorbitant sums of money were being invested in this persistent effort to distort and misconstrue every aspect of the contemporary Sri Lankan scene, opinion leaders have a vital role to play in ensuring fairness and objecting in assessing what is taking place in the country, he said.

India for the time is said to have struck back with machine guns when Pakistan in the night of September 11 reportedly fired two rockets into border villages of Punjab near Wagah sector, the second such provocation in two months, reports Times of India. The unsettling attack from a belligerent neighbour came on a day when the Border Security Force (BSF) had deployed its first batch of women along the border. However, no causality was reported till news last came in at 11.45 pm, (IST) stating that Pakistan had fired three more rockets which were yet to be traced. “Earlier, two rockets were fired from the Pakistani side, one falling in Dhanoae Khurd and the other is yet to be traced,” said BSF, Inspector General (IG), Frontier, Himmat Singh. As India opened fire from Pul Kanjari end, losing patience over repeated violations during peace times between the two nations, the IG confirmed, “During my tenure, this is the first time that BSF has retaliated.” Swinging into action, Police laid down barricades on roads leading up to the border, disallowing even the media to cover the incident. Calling for an emergency flag meeting with Pakistan Rangers, sources said, BSF strongly protested the unwarranted firing. The last time Pakistan had breached border rules was in the night of July 5, when three rockets landed on the Indian side — one each in Dhandae, Baherwal and Konake — while another failed to make it and fell in the attacker’s territory near Pul Kanjari. However, Pakistan's Border Security Forces on September 12 (today) rejected a contention by their Indian counterparts that several rockets were fired into Indian Territory from across the border in the Wagah sector. A meeting between the sector commanders of Pakistan Rangers and Indian BSF over the issue remained "inconclusive", a spokesman for Pakistan Rangers said. The BSF officials had maintained that some rockets were fired from Pakistani said early this morning but the Rangers official had denied this, he said. The sector commanders met a little after 1 am (IST) following reports of three major explosions in the Wagah sector.

Security threats to India from militant groups operating from Pakistani soil have not diminished, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in Washington on September 11, reports The Hindu. He also said that there was an increase in infiltration from Pakistan in the last four months. He conveyed New Delhi’s concerns during meetings with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and top security officials of the U.S President Barack Obama administration. Completing his four-day U.S. visit, Chidambaram told journalists in Washington that he was going back to India with a “lot of ideas.” One of these was establishing something on the lines of the National Counter-Terrorism Centre of the U.S. Set up in 2004 under a presidential executive order, the centre, staffed by over 500 personnel drawn from 16 departments and agencies, spearheads U.S. efforts to combat terrorism at home and abroad by analysing threat perceptions and sharing information with friendly countries. Chidambaram reportedly met National Security Adviser James Jones, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Attorney-General Eric H. Holder Jr. Early. Chidambaram said that he had told the U.S. officials about Pakistan not prosecuting perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks, including the mastermind Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who was roaming free in that country despite evidence provided by India. “I did brief them on the state of the trial of Amir Ajmal ‘Kasab’ [the lone surviving LeT militant in 26/11 Mumbai attack] in India and I also did mention about no progress in Pakistan in respect of the five or six people they have arrested. And Hafiz Sayeed remains a free man. I think that is enough. They know to draw the lessons from that statement,” Chidambaram added. In addition, the Union Home Minister has given to U.S. officials a list of 60 Pakistani terrorists killed by Indian Security Forces (SFs) in various encounters in different parts of the country and 10 others arrested in the last one year, adds Times of India. A top Government official on September 11 said that Chidambaram had compiled the list before leaving for the U.S. for a four-day visit and shared it with the U.S. officials. "Their names and addresses in Pakistan were given in the list," the official said.

A Swedish citizen with the same name as another Swede who was arrested in Pakistan in 2001 and held for two years at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba, was detained at Multan in Punjab in August 2009 on suspicion of links to al Qaeda, Police said on September 11, reports Daily Times. He was arrested with three other Swedes and seven Turks near the country's Tribal Areas, a Police officer said on condition of anonymity. A Pakistani national was also traveling with them, he added. He did not know about his past activities, but confirmed he was carrying a Swedish passport bearing the name Mehdi Muhammed Ghezali. A Police document obtained by The Associated Press lists the names of the 12 arrested men, including Ghezali and three other Swedish citizens, including a woman. The document identified the Pakistani man as a member of a Paramilitary Force in the northwest. The report adds that a Swedish national by the name of Ghezali was arrested for more than two years by the US at its prison at Guantanamo Bay, after Pakistani authorities arrested him in 2001. Ghezali reportedly was part of a group of 156 suspected al Qaeda fighters arrested while escaping from Afghanistan's Tora Bora Mountains. Ghezali denied any links to the al Qaeda and was released by the US in 2004. Meanwhile, a spokes woman at the Foreign Ministry in Stockholm said it had received no information on the matter. The 11 foreigners were arrested on August 28 in Dera Ghazi Khan. Police said at the time, they had entered the country from Iran and were planning to travel to the Tribal Areas. One was carrying a laptop computer and $10,000. It was not clear where they were being held. At the time of the arrests, Police did not say whether there were any Swedish nationals among the group.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi stated that no dossier on Balochistan was handed over to the Indian Prime Minister Manmonah Singh, according to Times of India. "No, we didn't. Actually, we flagged the issue on Balochistan. We asked for a positive attitude and asked for non-interference inside Balochistan," Foreign Minister said.

Two of the highest-ranking Taliban leaders, Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan, were arrested in a military operation, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said on September 11. “We have captured them,” he told through telephone from Islamabad. They were arrested along with three other Taliban commanders, he added. Both Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan carried head money of PKR 10 million each, with Muslim Khan being second on the most-wanted list behind Fazlullah, and Mehmood at number four. The other three captured leaders were Fazle Ghaffar, Abdul Rehman and Sartaj, a military statement said. The report adds that the arrest confirmation followed a media report claiming the military had detained the Taliban leaders after “inviting” them to talks. “This is not correct ... we have not held talks with them,” Abbas said. “We have already declared that no talks will be held with any terrorist, if they want to surrender, they should lay down their arms and hand themselves to civil administration or law enforcement agencies,” he added. A source close to the Taliban at Mingora in Swat said the arrests could help the Army reach Fazlullah as both Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan were among key Taliban leaders with “access and much more information available about Fazlullah”.

They could take two boys with them but the third one, Manglu, resisted. He did not want to go with them. In retaliation, the Maoists punished him by shooting at him. They took the rest of the boys for training,” said Bastar Superintendent of Police P. Sundar Raj. He further said that following a spate of incidents being reported from the area, the Police would initiate a campaign urging villagers to stand up against Maoists efforts to recruit village boys. “We appeal to villagers that if Maoists forcefully take their boys with them, the villagers must resist this collectively.

The SFs deployed at Maphou dam on the tri-junction of Imphal East, Thoubal and Ukhrul Districts, were moving in a Gypsy and a bullet-proof truck when they came under heavy fire from militants sitting atop Ngakha hill. The attack came as the vehicles were negotiating a corner, 10 kilometres from the dam site, around 10.30am (IST). The militants used rocket launchers, lethod guns and other sophisticated weapons to target the vehicles. The militants snatched an Insas rifle, an AK-47 rifle and a self-loading rifle before retreating into the hills. Rifleman Yumnam Sanayaima, who survived the attack, said, "About 100 militants occupying the upper portion of the hills fired at us. We retaliated and the exchange of fire continued for an hour. But we were far outnumbered." He said the militants first fired two rocket launchers. The first one exploded after hitting the rear portion of the truck, which was following the Gypsy. The second rocket failed to explode. The deceased IRB personnel were identified as riflemen Khangembam Nanda, Amuchou Singh, Vicky Singh and Ashing.

The militants blew up a Police vehicle by triggering a massive car bomb, killing two Police personnel and a woman and injuring 10 others outside the Central jail in the Rainawari area of the Srinagar on September 12, according to Daily Excelsior. Sources said the militants parked an explosive laden Maruti car at a short distance away from the Central jail at Kathidarwaza in the old city area and used a remote control device to blow up the car as a police bus was passing by. The blast took place around 6.30pm (IST) when the Police personnel aboard the bus were returning to their District headquarters after dropping detenues at the Central jail. "It was a car bomb used by militants … so far, three persons have been killed while another 10 are injured," Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Farooq Ahmad Dar said. One of the deceased was identified as Assistant Sub Inspector Sagar Singh while the identity of another Policeman and the woman were yet to be identified till the reports last came in. 10 other Policemen, including the driver of the bus, constable Ali Mohammad, have been injured critically in the explosion. The woman, killed in the blast, was thrown under the tyres of the damaged Police bus and was removed more than an hour later. Initial investigations have revealed that the militants had used nearly 50 kilograms of highly explosive material, suspected to be RDX, to carry out the deadliest attack of the year so far. "The mangled remains of the bus and bits and pieces of the car used in carrying out the attack suggest that a large quantity of explosives was used," an intelligence official said. The residents of the area said the sound of the blast was deafening and glass panes of most of the houses in nearly 100 meters radius were smashed. Meanwhile, Police has announced a reward of INR 1 million to anyone providing information about the militants involved in the car bomb attack.

According to Telegraph, around 193 Black Widow (BW) militants surrendered their arms before the Security Forces (SFs) on September 13. The cadres first gathered at Thanalambra, about 35 kilometres from Haflong, District headquarters of North Cachar Hills, before proceeding to the 5th Assam Police Battalion headquarters at Sontilla to deposit their weapons. They laid down over 70 weapons in the presence of Police officials, a source said. Among the cadres who came on board were BW leaders Daniel Dimasa, Maurang and Daku Dimasa. “The cadres will be moved into designated camps,” the source said. Five designated camps in different parts of the District are ready for their arrival. The Director-General of Police of South Assam zone, Dipak Kumar, said 358 rebels were expected to deposit their arms by tomorrow. The formal surrender ceremony is expected on September 24 in the presence of the Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. A source said the outfit wants the Chief Minister to be present at the ceremonial surrender. Apart from the need for Chief Minister presence, the absence of the outfit’s ‘commander-in-chief’, Niranjan Hojai, is also delaying the surrender ceremony. The Union Government has, however, already indicated that talks could begin with the BW even if Hojai did not come.

Intelligence agencies and SOG in Rajasthan have come across facts which indicate that ISI was using the India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan to push in lethal materials into India. Investigations into the recent haul of arms and ammunitions, including about 14.7 kilograms of RDX from two locations in Barmer District, have revealed that the entire operation was the handiwork of ISI, which is now using cadres of the BKI and a few absconding smugglers. Intelligence sources said that it was a week-long operation by the ISI, but preparations for it had begun almost two months ago. It is believed that after getting a green light from the local ISI area commander, the consignment weighing 45 kilograms was sent from Karachi on August 24. Two carriers, Fotia and Alia, belonging to Pakistan, were entrusted with the task of pushing the consignment containing 14.7 kilograms of ready-to-use RDX and other deadly items into Barmer border. "They had attempted to smuggle the consignment through Jaisalmer border in the second week of August, trying to take advantage of the fact that the security forces would focus on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Barmer,'' said a senior Police officer. The Police had already come to know that there were 20 packets in all. "Eight packets had been recovered on September 8. When Lunia was arrested, he kept insisting that there were just eight packets, but as the investigators already knew about the consignment, they confronted him with the information and succeed in recovering the rest of ammunition on Sunday,'' the officer added.

According to Telegraph, the Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC) demanded autonomous status for the Garo hills with “less or no interference” from the Meghalaya Government. The ‘publicity secretary’ of the ANVC, Arist Sengsrang Sangma, on September 14 suggested the creation of an autonomous body like “Garoland Territorial Council”, which can govern itself without any interference from the State Government. According to Sangma, the idea of formation of a “Garoland Territorial Council” for Garo hills, in line with the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), was welcome, but there should be less interference from the State Government and more autonomy to the body, unlike the BTC. “We are yet to suggest any name for the autonomous body, which can politically safeguard the interests of the people of Garo hills with more powers, wider functions and without the interference of the state government,” Sangma said. “By autonomy to Garo hills, we do not mean the one prevailing in the existing Garo Hills Autonomous District Council, which is still under the direct supervision of the state government,” Sangma said. He said once the dream of autonomy for Garo hills was realised, the militant group would demand direct funding from the Centre, unlike the present District Councils in the State, which get funds from the State Government.

According to Times of India, a day after former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's confession about US aid being diverted against India, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor on September 14 asked Washington (US) to monitor its aid to Islamabad (Pakistan). "We support countries helping Pakistan fighting against terrorism, but we do not expect the aid turned against us," Tharoor told. The US should monitor its aid to Pakistan, he said, adding that Musharraf's disclosure did not surprise India. Musharraf's revelation confirms India's stand on misuse of US aid by Pakistan, he further added. He was reacting to a question on Musharraf's admission in an interview that Pakistan had used the aid provided by the US for the war against terror during his regime to strengthen defences against India. As reported earlier, Musharraf had admitted that he had violated rules governing the use of the military aid, and justified his actions by saying he had "acted in the best interest of Pakistan". Musharraf said he "did not care" whether the US would be angered by his disclosure as he did not want to compromise on Pakistan's interests. India has long voiced its concerns about the misuse of huge aid that the US gave to Islamabad during the so-called war on terror, expected to be over $10 billion, but this is the first public admission by a top Pakistani leader. The current Pakistan Government has, however, denied any misuse of US aid.

Expressing concern over cross-border terrorism, the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on September 14 cautioned that terrorist groups, including the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), were persisting in their attempts to launch terror attacks against India with the support they found among disgruntled elements within India, The Hindu reported. “They [LeT and JeM] continue to innovate new ways and means of deniability. Cells and modules within India lend an Indian character to these activities. Through community policing and other innovative measures we must detect and deny any opportunity to our adversaries. Intelligence is the key. We were able to bust 12 terrorist modules in 2008 and, in the first half of the current year, we have been able to neutralise 13 modules.” Chidambaram said while delivering the inaugural address at the three-day annual conference of State Police chiefs and Inspectors-General (IG), organised by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) in New Delhi. He said that there were attempts from across the border to forge unity among separatists in Jammu and Kashmir and escalate violence. Chidambaram spoke about his goals in internal security and policing over the next five years. He described the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) as a “game changer,” saying “we can no longer afford to do business as usual.” “Let me state our position clearly. On terrorism, our stance is zero tolerance. We shall raise our level of preparedness to fight any terror attack and, in the case of threat or attack, our response will be swift and decisive,” he said, adding that Policing in India was always a challenge and after 26/11, it became graver. He pointed out that the large scale diversion of development funds to militants gives them easy access to critical resources which helps them recruit new cadres as well as procure arms, adds Times of India. "This conference should dwell on finding workable ways and means to curb illegal diversion of funds to the militants." Chidambaram urged.

Responding to the suggestion made by the Joint Secretary (in charge of Northeast) of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to abandon the outfit’s demand for a separate State, Sangma said that though there was no change of stand on the statehood demand, the outfit was open to talks for the autonomous status to Garo hills. “The joint secretary, home, in charge of Northeast, told us that the Centre does not want to divide the Northeast further,” he added. To some extent, the ANVC agreed to this, but the militant group would negotiate with the Centre on what arrangement it would provide to the Garo hills for the outfit to give up its demand for a separate Garo State, he further mentioned.

Riyaz Bhatkal, the elusive co-founder of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) outfit and one of the country’s most wanted terrorist for his alleged role in the bomb blasts in Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Delhi in 2008, is believed to have slipped out of India and found safe haven in Pakistan, reports Indian Express. Riyaz’s presence in Pakistan was discovered nearly two months ago when he called an associate in India, top security sources said. Phones of some of Riyaz’s associates in India were being monitored by central intelligence agencies and Riyaz’s call was detected and the location traced to Pakistan, they said. His identity was confirmed after voice samples with the agencies were matched with that of the voice on the call, they added. “The call from Pakistan was made around two months ago, and we worked on it for a while to confirm whether it was actually Riyaz Bhatkal’s voice. Samples of his voice from previous intercepts collected while he was still in the country were found to match with this call,” said an official. His elder brother Iqbal, another IM fugitive wanted in connection with the same terrorist attacks, is still at large within India. Riyaz is last known to have lived in India in Mangalore in Karnataka. Officials believe that shortly after May 13, 2008 Jaipur and July 26, 2008 Ahmedabad serial bomb blasts accused Qayamuddin Kapadia was arrested from Ujjain, Riyaz fled to Bangladesh and then reached Pakistan via Nepal.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on September 14 looted a branch of the State Bank of Hyderabad (SBH) in the Khammam District and decamped with about INR 10 lakh, Police said. About 40 people stormed into the SBH's Satyanarayanpuram branch in the Cherla mandal (administrative division) of the District at about 2.30pm (IST) and took away INR 10 lakh in cash by threatening the cashier at gun point, Khammam District Superintendent of Police Anil Kumar told PTI over phone. We suspect that the robbers were Maoists who came from neighboring Chhattisgarh, he added. A group of nine Maoists barged into the bank and threatened the cashier to hand over the cash even as a group of another 30 waited outside the bank, the officer added. It was exactly not known how they fled away, he said, and added that the branch is located near a forest area bordering Chhattisgarh.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is forging ties with insurgents in the northeast to increase their sphere of influence, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on September 14 while underlining that Maoist violence in the country was on the rise, reports IANS. "In a bid to expand its influence it (Communist Party of India-Maoist) has been seeking alliance with secessionists and northeast insurgents... it is also lending support to their secessionist demands," Chidambaram said while inaugurating a three-day conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police organised by the Intelligence Bureau in New Delhi. Besides a marked increase in the violence spurred by the Maoists, the "greater sophistication" in the attacks to inflict greater damage was also of concern. "(The) Communist Party of India-Maoist besides targeting police, police informers and inimical forces is laying greater emphasis on targeting infrastructure like roads, bridges," Chidambaram said. The Home Minister spelt out the priority areas in the next five years -- a modern police act, mega city policing, upgradation of forensic science laboratory and prison reforms. The Telegraph quoted Chidambaram as saying, “The CPI (Maoist) has been keenly seeking ideological resonance and tactical understanding with Northeast insurgents and have begun to lend support to their secessionist ideology and demands.” The Home Minister said that the left wing extremism purports to be a radical form of communism and today, various groups adhering to this outdated ideology have their pockets of influence in 20 states across the country, adds Indian Express. "Over 2,000 Police station areas in 223 Districts in these States are partially or substantially affected by the menace," he added. Chidambaram said violence, the most visible aspect of Naxal menace, has been consistently witnessed in about 200 Police station areas of around 90 Districts in 13 States of these States. "Last year, a total of 1,591 incidents of Naxalite violence resulting in 721 killings were reported from 299 Police station areas of 87 Districts of 13 States," the Home Minister said adding this year 1,405 incidents of Naxal violence resulting in 580 killings have already been reported (upto August 27) from 355 Police stations in 78 districts in 11 states. He said the CPI-Maoist has also improved upon its military wares and operational tactics. Besides targeting the Police, alleged Police informers and so-called class enemies, it is laying greater emphasis on attacking economic and development infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railways, power and telecommunication networks, he said. "With increasing sophistication in fabrication and deployment of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), it has inflicted more casualties on the Security Forces," he said. As many as 80 Security Force personnel were killed in 53 landmine-based attacks by the CPI-Maoists in 2008, 123 Security Force personnel have lost their lives so far in 61 landmine-based Maoist actions this year. Altogether, 231 Security Force personnel were killed in Naxal violence in 2008 while 250 Security Force personnel have lost their lives this year, he said.

The second batch of 180 Black Widow (BW) militants surrendered arms on September 14, taking the total number of cadres to 373, 15 more rebels than the Security Forces (SFs) had expected, according to Telegraph. A Police source said the militants set out from Dihangi, about 30 kilometres from Haflong, escorted by a few senior Police officials to Sontilla, the headquarters of the 5th Assam Police Battalion, where they deposited their arms. The weapons surrendered are yet to be counted but it is a “significant number”, the source said. The extremists will now be shifted to their designated camp in Kapurtalla near Harangajao in the North Cachar Hills District. As reported earlier, the first batch of 193 rebels who surrendered their arms on September 13, are living in a camp in Jatinga village, about 10 kilometers from Haflong. Four camps have been set up at various locations to house the militants during the peace talks. Among those who stepped into Sontilla are frontline leaders Mindao Dimasa and Prakash Dimasa. With the duo’s arrival, all field-level leaders of the outfit have joined the peace process. The outfit’s ‘chief’, Jewel Gorlosa, and its ‘deputy commander-in-chief’ Partha Warisa, are now in judicial custody after being arrested from Bangalore on June 3, 2009. Niranjan Hojai, the ‘commander-in-chief’, has agreed to be present at the formal surrender ceremony of the Jewel Gorlosa followers, expected to be held on September 24, 2009 in the presence of Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi at Haflong. Hojai (38), a resident of Adra village under Deogbra Police outpost in Maibong subdivision, in his pre-guerrilla days was a Grade IV employee in the State’s public health engineering department. He figured as a key negotiator in the furtive dialogues between Assam Police officials and BW militants in the month of August.

Sri Lankan experts on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have said that the outfit had a front company in Karachi (Pakistan) to smuggle arms, and a safe house in Peshawar (Pakistan) to liaise with the Taliban, report Express Buzz. According to Shanaka Jayasekara, a terrorism researcher based in Macquarie University, Australia, the LTTE’s arms procurer, Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP, had traveled from Bangkok (Thailand) to Kabul (Afghanistan) through Karachi, on May 19, 2001. He had meetings with the Taliban ‘officials’ on matters relating to the notorious “Sharjah Network”. The “Sharjah Network” is an arms supply line run by the infamous Russian arms dealer, Victor Bout, who had operated three to four flights daily to Kabul to transport arms. Lakbimanews quoted Jayasekara as saying that the LTTE operated a cargo company Otharad Cargo in Dubai, 17 kilometers from the offices of the “Sharjah Network”. Otharad Cargo is believed to have acquired several consignments of military hardware as part of consolidated purchase arrangements with the Taliban’s “Sharjah Network”. Jayasekara claims that information recovered from a laptop computer of a LTTE procurement agent, now in the custody of a Western country, has provided detailed information on LTTE’s activities in Pakistan. According to Rohan Gunaratna, a Sri Lankan expert on terrorism with the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism, in Malaysia, the LTTE had links with Jehadis in the Pakistani frontier and it had a safe house in Peshawar. Pakistani Prime Minister, Yusuf Raza Gilani, had said that the Sri Lankan President, Mahinda Rajapakse, had told him in Libya recently, that elements in Sri Lanka were linked with terrorist events in Pakistan, including the gun attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore on March 3.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leadership may have been wiped out in a massive offensive by the Sri Lankan army, but the threat from the dreaded terror outfit is far from over, according to Times of India. The National Security Adviser (NSA) M. K. Narayanan on September 14 warned that with the Tamil Diaspora, which was the main source of funding for the LTTE, spread far and wide, the threat of the outfit raising its head once again could not be ruled out. The NSA said that the funding lines of the LTTE were still intact and there was always a possibility that disgruntled elements in the Tamil Diaspora across the globe could get together to help the terror outfit regroup and rearm. There was need to keep a watch for any such development and be prepared for any eventuality, he suggested.

The Sri Lankan Government is planning to re-settle as many of the remaining nearly 2.5 lakh war displaced as possible in the area west of the Jaffna-Kandy (A9) road before tackling resettlement in the Wanni east, The Hindu reported. The Northern Province Governor G. A. Chandrasiri, who was earlier the designated Competent Authority on all aspects related to war displaced, told The Island that the Army and five de-mining agencies had been engaged in mine clearing operations in the Yodawewa area. “The Army is of the opinion that all its efforts should be directed at clearing the western part of the Wanni in keeping with the original plan, though some have called for simultaneous resettlement of the displaced on both sides of the A9 High way,” the paper said in a report. He told the paper that the recent deployment of ten mine clearing machines bought from Slovakia and Croatia would help them clear the area north of Yodawewa by the third week of October. The Army has committed 400 de-miners for the clearing operation. He said that once they cleared 7,000 acres north of Yodawewa, they could work out a plan for further expansion of operations in the surrounding area.

According to The Hindu, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on September 15 sounding a note of caution against certain “worrisome developments”, having an impact on internal security, said that infiltration from across the Line of Control and also via Nepal, Bangladesh and the sea was going up. “Encounters with armed militants have become more frequent in recent weeks and months. Secessionist and militant groups within the State are again attempting to make common cause with outside elements and have embarked on a series of protest movements”, Manmohan Singh said. He was addressing the annual conference of Directors-General and Inspectors-General of Police on the second day of the three-day event in New Delhi. “We also need to understand better why many more local youth are being inveigled into participating in terrorist activities and how they are being recruited, indoctrinated and trained. The factors that cause social disharmony and alienation should be clearly known so that we can work to eliminate them.” Prime Minister added.

Addressing the State Police Chiefs on the second day of their three-day conclave, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that the situation in the north eastern part of the country is far from comfortable, according to Sentinel. “In two of the States — Manipur and Assam — current levels of violence give us cause for concern. In addition, extortion and intimidation have become a menace across most of the States in the region. It should be possible, I believe, to bring about a substantial improvement in the situation if there can be better security management,” he said. The State is back on Union Government map of most troubled State, adds Assam Tribune. The Prime Minister’s observation at the conference of Director Generals of Police (DGPs) and Inspector General of Police (IGPs) comes close on the heels of Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram’s critical remarks about the prevailing situation in the Northeast.

Admitting that the Government had "not achieved much success" in containing left wing extremism, which he described as the "gravest internal security threat", Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh pointed to the increasing influence of the Naxalites (left wing extremists) in vast swathes of India, reports Times of India. Addressing the annual conference of Directors-General and Inspectors-General of Police on the second day of the three-day event in New Delhi on September 15 he said, "I have consistently held that left wing extremism is, perhaps, the gravest internal security threat we face. We have not achieved as much success as we would have liked in containing it. It is a matter of concern that despite our efforts, the level of violence in the affected states continues to rise." "As I have stated before, dealing with left wing extremism requires a nuanced strategy - it cannot be treated simply as a law and order problem. Despite its sanguinary nature, the movement manages to retain the support of a section of the tribals and the poorest of the poor in many areas. It has influence among sizeable sections of civil society, the intelligentsia and the youth. It still retains a certain elan. All this adds to the complexity of the problem. I expect you to keep this in mind as you devise newer and better strategies to deal with the problem," the PM added. Unveiling his vision of a “new-age” Policeman who was more professional, better-motivated, suitably empowered and well-trained, the PM said such a Policeman would place greater emphasis on technology for investigation and other tasks, adds The Hindu. “Emphasis should be on capacity building from the Police station level itself, so that the Police is better equipped.” The Central and State Governments should take quick action to strengthen policing at the grass roots. The country needed a far higher number of Policemen to improve the present low ratio of 145 Policemen per lakh people. As a first move, urgent steps should be taken to fill the large number of vacancies at various levels, he said. “Each police station should aim at being self-sufficient and needs to be given the required resources in terms of anti-riot gear, better weapons, the nucleus of a mobile forensic unit and be connected to a networked criminal database management system.” The Prime Minister wanted every city to have a modern Police control room with digitised maps and said this could be done only by modernising the force. Emphasising the critical importance of training for policemen, he said that on average an officer was retrained only once in about 20 years. This was totally inadequate and must be rectified.

In a sudden development across the Line of Control, Pakistan army and the militant commanders of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen have called back all local militants of this part of the State, who had for the past several months, abandoned the training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and started working in shops and other business concerns within PoK and Pakistan. While exact number of the militants from Jammu and Kashmir, held up in PoK after training, was not available, intelligence inputs revealed that nearly 1000 of them had left the training camps of militants with the consent of LeT and HM commanders during last about a year and started working in shops and business houses. Many of them got engaged by the militant ‘commanders’ themselves at that time. Reports, however, suggested that the LeT and HM ‘commanders’ have sent messages to all these militants asking them to immediately report back to the training camps or face consequences. The messages to these militants were sent through over ground network of the militants as well as Police. The militants, majority of whom hailed from Kashmir valley besides Doda belt, Rajouri and Poonch Districts of Jammu region, have responded to the ‘dictates’ of militants and returned to the camps of militant outfits. The cadres, who have not returned so far, are being searched by the militants themselves to bring them back to the camps.

PTI reports that armed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on September 15 severely assaulted five farmers for cultivating their land at Kada village in the Palamau District, Police said. The extremists also destroyed paddy and pulse which the farmers had planted. The Maoists had branded the five farmers as Police informers two years ago and ordered them not to cultivate the land located near the Sone river, Superintendent of Police Saket Kumar Singh said. Since then, the farmers, who together own about 10 acres of land, did not dare to visit their land for fear of Maoist attack, sources in the Husseinabad Police station said. However, they could not resist resuming ploughing following last week's rains in the face of severe drought in Jharkhand, the sources added.

The Central Government is considering an amendment to the Land Acquisition Act to stop State Governments from acquiring land for private projects in the country’s 90 Districts worst hit by Naxal (left wing extremism) violence, according to South Asian Observer. Violent backlashes in Singur, Nandigram and Lalgarh areas of West Bengal since 2007 over land acquisition by the State Government for private sector projects apparently led to the change in Government thinking. An expert group, headed by Chief Secretary K. M. Chandrasekhar, made it clear that land in the Naxal-affected areas could be acquired by the Government only for public welfare and national security. “The proposals need to be further revised to minimise displacement of people and secure the rights of the displaced,” the group said in its report. Although most of Naxal-affected districts are tribal-dominated areas, the present law does not restrict the Government from acquiring land for private investment.

According to Times of India, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Aslam Kashmiri (27) had undergone training in Pakistan much before lone arrested terrorist Mohammad Ajmal alias Kasab and his nine other cadres were trained to carry out the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks, says Mumbai Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS). Kashmiri was first arrested by the Delhi Police's special cell on August 25, and brought to the custody of the ATS of Mumbai Police on September 14. Kashmiri underwent training in the Pakistan's Muridke in 2006 and the handlers for him as well as the Kasab group were the same, the Police said. Kashmiri, who studied at Lucknow University in 2003-2005, had obtained a bachelor's degree in Persian. "I met Zarar Shah and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakvhi, (LeT operatives in Pakistan) during the training. They had come to oversee the training programme,'' Kashmiri told the Police. Shah and Lakhvi were accused in the 26/11 attack. However, the Police are yet to establish if Kashmiri knew any of the 10 LeT militants who terrorised Mumbai for three days. "We are questioning him and trying to establish his role in the arms haul case. It’s too early to comment on it,'' said ATS Additional Commissioner Sukhvindar Singh. Kashmiri is suspected to have played a key role in 2006 Aurangbad arms haul case where the ATS claimed to have seized State's second biggest consignment- 43 Kilograms RDX. Besides, 16 AK-47 rifles, hand grenades and over 3,200 live bullets were also seized. Kashmiri was booked in this case under the stringent sections of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). "Preliminary inquiries revealed Kashmiri sent four youths to Pakistan for training in terror. Our teams are continuously working on the case and trying to get more information,'' ATS Chief Krish Pal Raghuvanshi said. Kashmiri is suspected to have arranged the trip of youth to Pakistan via Nepal and Bangladesh to Pakistan for training, said Police. The youth would be imparted with 21-day training in assembling bombs and operating fire arms, they added.

The assault was taken up on September 16 when the State Police and the CoBRA units moved into the forests on actionable inputs about a weapon-making unit set up by the Maoists near Botatang, a village north-east of Karigundam, adds The Hindu.

The Black Widow (BW) sought a camp at Mahur in North Cachar Hills District to deny any conflict to Naga militant outfits in the wake of the Dimasa outfit laying down arms, reports Telegraph. The BW feels that Naga outfits would try to expand their area of influence in the District, taking advantage of the ceasefire by Dimasa outfits. The DHD is already under a ceasefire since 2003 and cadres of the Jewel faction laid down arms this week. The National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) faction has been demanding integration of the Naga-inhabited areas of North Cachar Hills, contiguous to Nagaland, in its proposed Naga homeland. Mahur is one such stretch. The DHD already has a camp in another Naga-populated area of Maibong. The 373 BW militants who came overground, on September 13 and September 14, are now housed in two camps at Jatinga and Kapucherra. The non-Dimasa population in Jatinga is objecting to the camp, fearing that it would give an upper hand to the Dimasas in the area although it cited a “sense of insecurity” as its reason. Sources said that the BW, while seeking a camp at Mahur, pointed out to State Government that the Naga militant outfit, which has a strong presence in the Naga-dominated areas, might target Dimasa villages in these areas.

The Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (Cobra) suffered its first biggest casualty after Security Force (SF) personnel recovered the bodies of five of its missing personnel on September 19, the days after the COBRA sneaked into a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hideout in Dantewada District and destroyed an arms factory, besides killing as many as 24 militants, according to Telegraph. Operation Green Hunt, on for the last 48 hours, has so far claimed six COBRA personnel, including Assistant Commandant Manoranjan Singh whose body was recovered on September 18. “After a massive search operation, Security personnel spotted the bodies of five missing COBRA personnel in the dense forests of Palachalam,” Inspector-General of Police (headquarters) R. K. Vij told. Among those killed were Assistant Commandant Rakesh Chaurasia, Sub-Inspector, a Head Constable and two Constables. With the death of six of its personnel in Operation Green Hunt, this would be first time that the Central Reserve Police Forces’s (CRPF) COBRA had suffered casualties while combing the forests of Chhattisgarh ever since the special unit was raised in August 2008 to fight CPI-Maoist militants. Along with the State Police, the COBRA personnel had launched a major offensive against Maoists by storming their hideout in Palachalam forests under Kisteram Police Station of Dantewada District. In the operation that was launched on September 18, at least 24 CPI-Maoist militants were shot dead by the SF personnel. The Police have recovered 10 dead bodies so far. An arms factory being run by the CPI-Maoist militants was also destroyed.

The militants shot dead two Special Police Officers (SPOs) and managed to decamp with their weapons at Shikri Top in Marmat area of Doda District in the evening of September 18, according to Daily Excelsior. Senior Superintendent of Police of Doda District said that three SPOs, who were on way back home at Gajot from Sadak post in hilly Marmat area of Doda District, were intercepted by a group of five to seven militants at Shikri Top at 5 pm (IST). The militants had laid a ‘C’ type ambush for the SPOs from thick growth of vegetation. Two SPOs were killed on spot while third one managed to survive taking cover behind the crops. As Police personnel from their Sadak post and Security Forces (SFs) rushed to the spot, the militants managed to escape. SFs have launched a massive search operation in the area to arrest the militants suspected to be cadres of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit. The SPOs killed in the firing were identified as Abdul Gani and Riaz Ahmad, residents of Gajot. Another SPO, Mohammad Yaqoob, managed to survive with minor bruises and later informed Police and SFs about the ambush. The militants also took away one Insas rifle, a pistol and three mobile telephones from slain SPOs while Yaqoob saved his AK-47 rifle. According to sources, the killing of SPOs was a possible retaliation by the militants to the elimination of their over 20 top associates in Doda District during last three months.

The New York, United Sates (US), based Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Vishuanadan Rudrakumaran has announced that the LTTE proposed Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (PTGTE) will function as an organization of the Tamil Diaspora, according to Daily News. Vishuanadan Rudrakumaran has made this announcement in www.puthinam.com. The PTGTE will continue to lobby with Governments for the establishment of separate State in the North and East, the Website said. In the United States, United Kingdom and Canada where there are large communities of Sri Lankan Tamils and where the LTTE as well as some of its front organizations is banned as a terrorist organization, the PTGTE will function as a front of the old LTTE carrying on activities aimed at separatism in Sri Lanka. The PTGTE is a new front introduced after the killing of Velupillai Prabhakaran, by Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP, before he was arrested on August 6. There was no unanimity regarding the acceptance of the leadership of KP and another leader called Nadevan in Norway was challenging him. But the vast amount of LTTE wealth was in the KP’s hands. At the time the PTGTE was proposed there was no assurance that the LTTE remnant would give up violence completely and accept 'democracy. Though democracy was claimed, there had never been a framework or a constitution for any LTTE democracy to function. The PTGTE is a ploy by the LTTE to carry on its usual activities of extortion among the Tamil Diaspora and move forward with all its illegal businesses and use the money for the bifurcation of Sri Lanka.

Four trucks were set ablaze by the cadres of the People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI), earlier known Jharkhand Liberations Tiger (JLT), at Aara Ghati in Khunti District on September 20, reports Times of India. The PLFI cadres stopped the trucks carrying coal tar and iron equipment and set them ablaze, Superintendent of Police (SP) Jatin Narwal said. The extremists set ablaze the trucks for ‘violating’ the outfit's 24-hour shut down call in Palamu division beginning August 19-midnight demanding the release of their ‘sub-zonal commander’ Laxmanji. Police sources said the PLFI cadres had stopped the truck drivers at midnight and asked them to follow their diktat. Jharkhand Police spokesman Inspector General of Police S. N. Pradhan said the drivers didn't listen and hence their trucks were set on fire. "According to our information, the PLFI members had warned the drivers not to ply their vehicles on Saturday night. As the drivers did not follow the outfit's diktat the vehicles were set ablaze at 7 am on Sunday," said Pradhan. The drivers and helpers were chased away.

Taking the fight against left wing extremism to a new frontier, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sought to actively involve the print media directly by issuing advertisements depicting “cold-blooded killings” of innocent citizens by Naxalites (left wing extremists), The Hindu reports. The first in a series of advertisements appeared in all national dailies on September 20 which carried seven photographs of innocent women, men and children who were killed by Naxals over the past three years. In a bid to silence criticism regarding the authenticity and credibility of these photographs, all the victims have been identified and their villages and dates of killings have also been mentioned. The advertisements carry the tagline “Naxals are nothing, but cold-blooded murderers.” “These ads are an attempt to show to the newspaper readers who are more aware than others that Naxals are not wedded to any lofty ideology but carry out such killings in a routine manner to instil fear among people and terrorise them,” Home Ministry spokesperson Onkar Kedia said. “More such advertisements will be issued in all regional newspapers in the days to come. Senior officials of the Home Ministry have also previewed 25-minute-long films made on Naxalism and tribals and as part of the new strategy, these will be exhibited by the national network of Doordarshan and other electronic media,” the spokesperson said. The advertisements also mark a departure from the Government’s stand that Naxals were “misguided elements” who needed to be lured back into national mainstream. The advertisements were issued after Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had a series of discussions with senior officials of his Ministry on thrashing out a new “media policy” to deal with the gravest danger to internal security.

The law and order situation has hampered the exploration of gas and production activity in Balochistan over the last few years, the recently-released ‘Balochistan Economic Report’ stated, according to Daily Times. The report said over three-fifths of the 657 terrorist attacks in 2006, nearly one-third of deaths in such attacks and almost half the injuries were reported in Balochistan. The report said the security situation in Balochistan worsened in 2006 compared to the 2005. It said the number of terrorist attacks in 2006 was almost twice as high as the period between 2002 and 2005. According to the report, the gas fields of Sui, Uch, Pirkoh and Loti are all located in Dera Bugti, which is at the heart of a violent conflict. The report identifies the principal reason for the deteriorating security situation as “a violent conflict between security forces and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Bugti tribesmen”. It said the BLA, the Balochistan Liberation Front and Bugti militiamen launched 403 terrorist attacks in the province during 2006, killing 277 people and injuring 676 others. It said gas pipelines, security checkpoints and camps, government offices, rail tracks and bridges were targeted in these attacks. According to statistics compiled by the Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), Dera Bugti accounted for two-fifths of the 136 terrorist attacks reported in Balochistan between January 2006 and July 2006. The attacks killed 137 people and injured 315 others. According to the Balochistan Economic Report, Kohlu District – a stronghold of the BLA—along with Quetta and Sibi represent over a quarter of the terrorist attacks. The report said Balochistan accounted for three-fifths of all terrorist attacks in Pakistan during 2006, and most of them took place in or around Dera Bugti. It said the precarious security situation in Dera Bugti was the main reason behind the decline in gas output – with the financial impact felt throughout the province. According to the study, the security situation in Balochistan was “highly unsatisfactory” during 2007, as terrorists continued attacking state installations and security apparatus. The report said with gas fields exhausting, security worsening, fiscal receipts declining and community support in doubt, Balochistan’s gas economy was in urgent need of reforms.

According to Times of India, scores of armed cadres and militia of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked a party office of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) at Enayetpur, 15 kilometres from Midnapore near Lalgarh in West Midnapore District in the afternoon of September 21 triggering a gun battle that has so far left at least 15 people dead. Most of the dead are believed to be CPI-M workers. The Maoist gunmen are reportedly led by Koteswar Rao alias Kishan and Bikash. According to sources, about 200 CPI-M supporters had assembled at the Enayetpur party office over the last three weeks, apparently to stop the Maoist advance towards Midnapore town. Many of them had also taken shelter there, with the Maoists killing CPM men almost every day. On September 21, many of them had left to celebrate Eid festival. Only 50-odd CPI-M cadres held fort at the party office. In the afternoon, a 10,000-strong group of tribals, many of them carrying firearms, started marching towards the office, led by Kishan and Bikash. At 5pm (IST), the Maoist assault party started surrounding the building.

The Union Government warned West Bengal of the possibility of terrorists planning a strike in which car bombs could be used during the forthcoming Durga Puja festival. The railways have been alerted. “We will have to be cautious to ensure that there is no untoward incident during the Durga Puja period,” said the State’s Chief Secretary Ashok Mohan Chakraborty in Kolkata on September 21. The threat could come not only from bombs concealed in a car but also in bags and there is a need to be on the alert, he added. The railways are taking all precautionary and preventive measures to ensure security during the festival period, Additional Director General of Police (Railways) Dilip Mitra told The Hindu. Security is being tightened at major railway installations and stations and a special vigil will be maintained in trains, a senior railway official said. “There is a general alert during Durga Puja against such a possibility,” said Chief Security Commissioner, Eastern Railway, B. Mohan. Surveillance along the State’s border with Nepal and Bangladesh has been stepped up in the wake of intelligence reports of possible attempts to smuggle in explosives from Nepal, sources added.

Times of India reports that the former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official, Bruce Riedel, whom the US President Barack Obama had entrusted with the responsibility of giving shape to his Afghanistan strategy, said that there is no foolproof guarantee against Pakistan transferring US technology to its advantage against India. Riedel warned India in an interview that military assistance provided for one purpose can be “inherently” used for another purpose or adversary because it is “fungible” in nature. Riedel made the statement even as he added that Washington will look into all allegations of transfer of American technology provided to Pakistan. “It should be borne in mind, however, that military assistance is always fungible, that is equipment provided for one purpose can inherently be used for other purposes. As a consequence, US military aid and sales to south Asia should always be carefully calculated for their impact on the India-Pakistan balance of conventional military power,” he added.

Four militants, including one ‘District Commander’ of the Hiz-bul-Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) each, an Army Major and a Marine commando were killed during two separate encounters in the Baramulla and Bandipora Districts, taking the death toll in the two-days gun battle to eight, official sources said on September 23, Daily Excelsior reported. In the encounter at Banyari village in the Bandipora District which started in the evening of September 22 and ended at 5pm on September 23 the Army eliminated HM ‘District Commander’ Pasha and the LeT ‘District Commander’ Moosa. Army Major, G. S. Suri, and a trooper, Khushal, were killed when they sustained bullet injuries during initial firing from militants as they entered a house where the militants were hiding. "A team of Army officers and soldiers entered a house at Banyari last evening (September 22). They came under heavy firing from militants in which four of them were injured. Major Suri and Naik Khushal were killed while two others managed to steer to safety in an injured condition," the sources said. "Two officers -- Major Gautam Raj Reshi and Major Kamlesh Kumar, NCO Mahipal Singh and Sepoy Naveen were injured," they added. The militants were hiding in a house which was cordoned off by the Security Forces (SFs) and, as reported earlier, reinforcements were rushed to spot and the house was cordoned off to prevent the militants from escaping from the spot, leading to a fierce exchange of firing between the two holed up militants and the SFs. Pasha, a foreign militant, was active in the area for the last more than 10 years and was considered to be the driving force behind many attacks on the SFs and political workers. Moosa, who was working in close coordination with the HM militants recently, was also wanted by the SFs for the last couple of years, the sources said. During another encounter in the Panzla forest area of Rafiabad in Baramulla District on September 23, a Marine commando, identified as Chandra Shekhar, and an unidentified holed up militant were killed in the exchange of firing.

A newly floated armed extremist outfit, Shashtra Kranti Committee (SKC), raided a railway construction site in the Chatra District in the night of September 23 and set ablaze equipments worth more than a crore, reports Telegraph. A Calcutta (West Bengal)-based firm, Khazana Construction Company, has been entrusted with the task of laying railway tracks at Kahalari Pilara in the Simaria area of the District. Around 10pm (IST), a group of six gun-wielding men surrounded the site and asked employees to cease work. When the manager Hem Yadav protested, they overpowered him and tied his hands. Five workers were held at gunpoint. The extremists then emptied the petrol tank of a machine at the construction site and set ablaze several other equipments worth INR 1.25 crore. Before Escaping, they issued a warning and said no construction work should be carried on at the site without the permission of the SKC. The Superintendent of Police (SP) Narendra Kumar Singh said, “We have registered a complaint on the basis of company manager Hem Yadav’s statement. Raids are on to nab the culprits.” Villagers, meanwhile, said that the newly formed SKC had recently launched a poster campaign in Simaria. The messages warned local residents against paying levy to other extremist organisations operating in the area.

Two top ‘commanders’ of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) were shot dead by the Security Forces (SFs) in an encounter at Damhal Hanjipora in the Kulgam District on September 24, reports Daily Excelsior. The SFs launched a search operation in the area following receipt of information about presence of militants in the area, officials said. As the SFs were closing in on the area where militants were hiding, they came under firing but there were no casualties in the initial salvo fired by the extremists. The SFs retaliated, triggering off a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides. A Defence spokesman said two militants were killed in the gun battle. "Two militants have been killed so far … the firing has stopped but combing operations are still continuing," Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Brar said. In Jammu, Reasi Police officers identified the slain militants as Manzoor Ahmad alias Saddam Hussain son of Ghulam Mohammad and Bashir Ahmad alias Rashid son of Habib Sheikh, both residents of Neoch Badr in the Mahore area of Reasi District. Inspector General of Police (Jammu zone) Ashok Gupta said Saddam Hussain was an IED expert involved in a series of subversive activities in the Reasi District. Saddam was operating in the District since 1995 and was wanted in over a dozen FIRs at different Police stations of Reasi. He was instrumental in a number of massacres, abduction and extortions. In addition, Colonel Brar said the operation at Bandipora, where two top militant ‘commanders’ were killed, was called off late in the evening of September 23 while the combing operations were still going on in the forest area of Panzla in the Baramulla District.

A suspected US drone strike on premises allegedly operated by an Afghan radical killed 10 suspected Taliban militants at North Waziristan in FATA, officials said on September 24, reports Daily Times. “Ten dead bodies were recovered from the debris of the house and two Taliban were wounded in the attack,” said a Pakistani security official on condition of anonymity. Another official and residents confirmed the toll. “The target was a compound of Haqqani’s men. According to our reports all of the dead belong to the Haqqani network,” the official said. The area is considered a stronghold for the Taliban and Afghan former Soviet resistance commander Jalaluddin Haqqani, around five kilometres northwest of Miranshah. The building acted as an office where Taliban militants would come to receive orders and rest between bouts of fighting across the border in Afghanistan, local residents and intelligence officials said. It was not immediately clear whether Ahmad Afghani was present at the time of the attack. The Haqqani network is a powerful group based in northwest Pakistan closely linked to al-Qaeda.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) were set to get 10 new aircraft through an Eritrea-based arms smuggling network when the Government's military offensive reached its climax, a media report said. According to Hindustan Times, the aircraft had been dismantled and were to be shipped to the north-eastern coast of Sri Lanka when the war reached a decisive stage. "The LTTE calculated that the war would stretch but it didn’t happen; the aircraft could not be delivered," the daily quoted an unnamed senior Sri Lankan military officer as saying. According to the army officer, the LTTE while waiting for the aircraft to arrive got the pilots trained from training schools in Malaysia and Indonesia. Trained instructors were also present in Sri Lanka. The Army has recovered pilot training simulator from the jungles of Mullaitivu. "At least a dozen pilots had been trained. Two among them have been arrested. The rest could be hiding among the internally displaced persons (in refugee camps)," the officer told the daily. A United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee investigation in 2006 revealed that the Government of Eritrea was providing direct military assistance to the LTTE. A Colombo based magazine in August said in a report that the Sri Lankan army found 12 fighter planes belonging to the LTTE at an airport in Eritrea from the information given by the LTTE's arms dealer Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP who is now in Sri Lankan custody. Sri Lanka is seeking to establish diplomatic relations with Eritrea in an effort to counter the LTTE international network which is said to be still active despite the arrest of their self-appointed leader KP.

A suspected aide of underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, identified as Naresh Jain, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from the residence of his brother Shyam at Pitampura in North Delhi on September 25, reports Times of India. He was accused by the United States (US) for funding terrorist activities and running a hawala (informal money laundering system) operation over INR 50 billion. The arrest followed the recovery of unaccounted cash totalling about INR 6 million. ED officials also claimed to have found foreign currency worth a little over INR 300000, documents showing foreign bank accounts, unaccounted investment and hawala transactions worth billions of Indian rupees. Papers showing transactions of millions of Indian currencies with different Pakistan and Afghanistan based persons and entities were also found and seized, officials added. Officials also said that the raids were carried out on eight premises of Naresh and his family members. Naresh moved his base to Delhi from Dubai in United Arab Emirates earlier six months because of the growing interest of the US and other countries in his activities. Jain was on the radar of US and other countries since a sting operation codenamed "Operation Khyber Pass" conducted by Italian Police and US Drug Enforcement Agency about six months earlier. His areas of operations are believed to be spread over Nigeria, Italy, Afghanistan, China and Pakistan among many other countries. Naresh was summoned for questioning by the ED on September 24. Naresh, who has been booked under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, was earlier arrested by Dubai Police along with his six associates in 2007 as part of their crackdown on money launderers. Dubai Police had also recovered bank accounts of 21 expatriates after they were found allegedly involved in laundering money to Italy and the UK. The arrest was effected, after inputs from the US and United Kingdom’s (UK) Serious Organised Crime Agency warned that Naresh was involved in laundering drug money for various terrorist outfits including al Qaeda and Taliban. Naresh was reportedly on the radar of the US intelligence agencies ever since he was spotted at the marriage of Dawood's daughter in Dubai in 2005. He had been using his hawala network spanning across continents to facilitate financial transactions of Dawood's narcotics trade. It was also alleged that Naresh was using certain companies and accounts in New York for depositing proceeds of crime (drug money) and transferring the funds generated illegally to drug barons in locations such as Turkey.

According to Times of India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Pittsburgh on September 26 (today) said that India seeks to normalise relationship with Pakistan but it should shed its mindset of using terror as an instrument of State policy against New Delhi and take action against those involved in the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks. He made it clear that there was no change in India's stand on Pakistan since the Sharm-el-Sheikh in Egypt talks with his Pakistan counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani, a position he has made clear in Parliament. "India's message is that India seeks to normalise its relationship with Pakistan. But the only obstacle is that it should shed its old attitude of using terror as a state policy," Manmohan Singh told a press conference winding up his two-day trip to Pittsburgh where he attended the G-20 Summit. "We have supplied our material and evidence for them to carry out investigation. Although the tragedy took place in India, the conspiracy took place in Pakistan. Pakistan has admitted to this. We want them to bring to book the culprits involved in the November 26 attacks," he added. The Prime Minister's comments come as Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan are set to meet on September 27 during which Islamabad's action against terror emanating from its soil will be discussed.

The Multi-disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA), constituted in 1998 to probe the conspiracy angle in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination case, is to despatch a team to Colombo (Sri Lanka) to interrogate the arrested Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP, reports Times of India. "A team will go to Colombo to question KP once we get the political clearance from Sri Lanka," said B. N. Misra, chief investigating officer of the MDMA based in Delhi. "KP is a prime accused in the Tongnova case in which 14 have been accused. While 13 were tried and acquitted by courts in Chennai, KP remains an absconding accused," said Misra. In the November 1991 case, an LTTE-owned freighter, Tongnova, was intercepted in high seas and caught by the Indian Navy off the Karaikal coast. The team, besides interrogating KP on his role in Rajiv assassination and his possible involvement in the conspiracy, will also probe his links with foreign arms dealers.

Times of India reports that the Police in Kishtwar arrested a top `financial advisor' belonging to the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) recovered over INR 25 lakh stolen from a J&K Bank branch in July 2009. The HM associate, identified as Zahoor Kamal, a resident of Kishtwar, according to Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ashok Gupta. The IGP said a special investigation team (SIT) arrested Zahoor and subsequently recovered INR 25.79 lakh. "Two briefcases containing INR 436,500 and INR 480,000 along with a plastic drum containing INR 16,63,400 were recovered. The money was lying buried at a place on the outskirts of Kishwar town,'' the IGP added. The IGP said the SIT has already recovered INR 14.31 lakh at the instance of three other accused, Mehboob Ahmed Rather, Shahid Hussain Rather and Farooq Ahmed Kripok, involved in another bank theft case. Mehboob Ahmed Rather is the brother of slain HM militant Mohd Rafi Rather. Sources said the conspiracy to rob the Kishtwar branch of J&K Bank was hatched when the accused got the wind of the transfer of INR 5 crore from the bank's Balote branch to Kishtwar on July 6. Search operations for other suspects is going on and investigation of the high-profile bank dacoity is being closely monitored by senior police officers, sources said.

Visiting Naxalite (left wing extremist)-affected States, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on September 25 that the Army would not be involved in the offensive against Naxals, The Hindu reports. "There is no proposal to involve the Army in the anti-Naxal operations," said Chidambaram, who was in Ranchi to review the security situation in Jharkhand. He said it was a matter of concern that Jharkhand had become the "epicentre of left-wing extremism" along with Chhattisgarh. "Left-wing extremism is the gravest challenge to our way of life, our republic and our democracy," he said. "Our policy on left-wing extremism is very clear. There is no place for violence or so-called armed struggle for liberation in a republican, democratic form of government. They believe in armed liberation struggle. We reject that argument. So long any one indulges in violence, the State has to oppose and fight the group," he added. He said the Centre had made it clear at the recent Chief Ministers’ Conference in New Delhi that the so-called armed liberation struggle was unacceptable, and the Police would act against it. The Home Minister also said that Naxalites penetration into civil society is a serious impediment to anti-Naxal operations, adds Times of India. "But his would not stop the Government from taking action against the Maoists,'' he added. In reply to queries of media persons, Chidambaram said action would be taken against any politician found sheltering or patronising Naxalites. Naming Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh as the epicentres of Maoist activities, he said the menace, however, was restricted to six or seven Districts in Orissa. "Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are a major cause of concern in this regard even though the Governments have been able to rein in ultra-leftists to a great extent,'' he said, and added the Centre will provide full support, including adequate companies of para-military forces, to these States to fight the Naxalites. Chidambaram also said that fight against left-wing extremism would be a "long-drawn" fight. "It is a long drawn fight against Naxals (Maoists). The centre is totally supporting Chhattisgarh in its efforts to counter left wing extremism," he told reporters.

The Sri Lanka Government has completed the profiles of over 10,000 former LTTE combatants who are now under Government custody in the welfare camps waiting to be either tried or rehabilitated. The authorities have prepared profiles for each suspected LTTE cadre with details including, personal information, nature of the involvement with the LTTE, education standard and the skills they would like to pursue. The former militants will face charges in a court if they had been involved in grave crimes such as murders and abductions.

According to the Commissioner General of Rehabilitation Major General Daya Ratnayake the former militants would be categorized for rehabilitation according to the information in their profiles and given educational and vocational training facilities. Media reports said the Government is seeking help from the United States to learn how to handle the vast number of cadres and to learn from the US experience in handling al-Qaeda terror suspects.

Minister of Disaster Management and Human Rights Mahinda Samarasingha said at the 60th Session of the Executive Committee of the UN High Commission for Refugees in Geneva on September 28 that the Government is aware that there are trained and formerly active members of the LTTE among the IDPs, according to News.lk. “There are still some persons among the IDPs who have not disclosed their former affiliation with the LTTE. These persons pose a risk not only to the IDPs with whom they are intermingled but, if released, can cause destabilization and chaos amongst civilians elsewhere in the country. It is for this reason that we have been very careful about releases and permitting full freedom of movement,” said the Minister.

Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is 'largely intact' and 'determined to strike India again', a United States' media report said, quoting former and current members of the group and intelligence officials, according to Rediff.com. Despite pledges from Pakistan to dismantle militant outfits operating on its soil, and the arrest of a handful of operatives, the LeT has persisted and even flourished, since 10 recruits killed over 180 people in Mumbai mayhem on November 26, 2008, The New York Times reported. Indian and Pakistani dossiers on the Mumbai investigations, copies of which were obtained by the US daily, offer a detailed picture of the operations of Lashkar network that spans through Pakistan. It included four houses and two training camps in Karachi that were used to prepare the attacks. In fact, Lashkar's broader network endures, and can be mobilised quickly for elaborate attacks with relatively few resources, the daily quoted Lashkar members and intelligence officials from the US, Europe and Pakistan as saying. But by all accounts Lashkar's network, though dormant, remains alive, and the possibility that it could strike India again makes Lashkar a wild card in one of the most volatile regions of the world, the report said. One ‘highly placed’ Lashkar militant said the Mumbai attackers were part of some groups trained by former Pakistani military and intelligence officials at Lashkar camps, adding, "Some people of the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) knew about the plan and closed their eyes." Even as new details emerge about the Mumbai attacks, senior American military, intelligence and counterterrorism officials have expressed grim certainty that the LeT is plotting new attacks. The United States warned Indian officials this year about a Mumbai-style attack by Lashkar against multiple sites in India, according to a senior US counterterrorism official. The unnamed counterterrorism official said that the information, gleaned from electronic intercepts and other sources, was not specific but it was significant enough for American officials to alert their Indian counterparts. "There were indications of possible terrorist activity in the run-up to the Indian elections," in May, "and that information was shared promptly with Indian officials," the US daily quoted the counterterrorism official as saying. Pakistani officials, however, say they've been kept in the dark. But, if there is one thing on which the intelligence agencies agree, it is that the consequences of a new attack by Lashkar could be devastating, the daily said. "We do fear that if something like Mumbai happens in India again there might be a military reaction from the Indian side and it could trigger into a war. Right now we cannot guarantee that it'll not happen again because we do not have any control over it," a Pakistani official said.

He did not know if Irfan was among the dead. The security official said the spy plane unloaded two missiles on the compound, adding that reports suggested three of the dead could be Uzbeks. “The death toll may rise,” he told AFP. “The compound is completely destroyed and militants have surrounded the area,” he added.

Sritharan said it was time for the Tamil political parties, including the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and the Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP) to come under one umbrella while maintaining their individual identities. “There can be differences of opinions. But, it is advisable for us to act and work in unison when dealing with important issues such as power devolution and the resettlement of IDPs,” he said. He was responding to a request by the TNA which stressed the need for a common front of Tamil parties to resolve the national question. “I do not know what exactly the TNA meant. However, there should be a common understanding on certain issues,” he added. However, the EPDP leader and Minister Douglas Devananda said there was no need for them to talk to the TNA just yet. “When the LTTE was strong, the TNA called itself the sole representative of the Tamil people. I do not know what they say now after the elimination of the LTTE. They have a democratic right to make a request to us. In the same way, we have a right to decide whether to accept it or not,” he said

The Hindu reports that Pakistan’s investigation into the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) has concluded that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants carried out the assault, according to a media report in The New York Times, which also said some people in the Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), knew about the plot but “closed their eyes.” Quoting a dossier compiled by Pakistani investigators, The New York Times reported that LeT recruits for the attack were vetted and trained in different parts of Pakistan including at well-established camps in Muzafarrabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and in Mansehra in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). “A core group, the 10 chosen for the Mumbai assault, was eventually moved to Karachi and its suburbs, where the real drilling began and where Pakistani investigators later retraced the plotters’ steps,” the report said. “The investigation concludes beyond any reasonable doubt that it was Lashkar militants who carried out the Mumbai attacks, preying on their victims in a train station, two five-star hotels, a cafe and a Jewish centre over three days starting last November 26,” the daily report added. Quoting a “highly placed” LeT militant, the English daily said that the Mumbai attackers were part of groups trained by former Pakistani military and intelligence officials at LeT camps. “Others had direct knowledge that retired Army and ISI officials trained Lashkar recruits as late as last year. Some people of the ISI knew about the plan and closed their eyes,” The New York Times quoted the militant as saying. Further, quoting the Indian and Pakistani dossiers on the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the news paper beginning as early as May 2008, the group trained and planned brazenly while living in various neighbourhoods in and around Karachi. “They made scores of calls using cell phones, some with stolen numbers, starting in August. They set up voice lines over the Internet.” At one water sports shop, they bought inflatable boats, air pumps, life jackets and engines. One of their training camps, with five thatched rooms and a three-room house, was located near a creek, where they conducted water drills in the open. Working from Millat Town, a dusty, middle-class Karachi suburb on the eastern edge of the city, Sadiq organised the cadre. “Neighbours described him as quiet and pious, riding around the streets with his two young sons perched on his motorbike. The Pakistani dossier says he was a committed Lashkar militant.” the daily reports Using handwritten manuals, the recruits were trained how to use cell phones to keep in contact with their handlers during the attack. They pored over detailed maps of the Indian coastline, plotting the course they would take to Mumbai. They learned how to use global positioning devices, the report said.

Times of India reports that suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on September 30 abducted a Police inspector (special branch) posted in the Khunti District. Inspector Francis Induwar was abducted when he had gone to a local market at around 5.30pm (IST) to make house-hold purchases.

"The abductors were carrying weapons which prevented the officer or people present at the market to resist," said a Police officer. Deputy Inspector General of Police (Ranchi Zone) R. K. Mallick said, "We suspected that the inspector was abducted by Maoists." The Khunti District Superintendent of Police, Jatin Marwal, who confirmed the incident, said six extremists, some of them posing as villagers, were involved in the operation, adds Telegraph. “We gathered from eyewitnesses that the rebels, who were carrying no weapons, surrounded him instantaneously.
