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

The city unit of the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested an alleged urban operative of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), identified as Arun Bhanudas Bhelke (38), from the Kasewadi slums in the Bhavani Peth area in Pune District on September 1, reports The Times of India. Bhelke, an arts graduate, was in-charge of recruiting youths for the Maoist outfit. He was absconding since August 2008 from Chandrapur District after he was released on bail by the District and sessions court there. His arrest in the city is a matter of concern for the Police as well the ATS as he was reportedly in touch with youths aged between 18 and 22 in and around the city since the last one year. The ATS has also launched a massive search for Bhelke's wife, Kanchan Nalawade alias Bhoomi, who is also believed to be somewhere in or around the city. Rajendra Kadam, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Nagpur, said, "Bhelke's arrest will help the Police unearth the urban network of CPI (Maoist)."

Making startling disclosures, the President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Javed Hashmi on September 1 quoted the PTI chief Imran Khan as saying ‘the badge bearers’ wanted the PTI protesters to move along with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader Tahirul Qadri, reports The News. The disgruntled PTI President while talking to media representatives outside the Parliament House, maintained: “Imran Khan said we can’t move forward without the army.” “Imran Khan also said that all the matters had been decided and there will be elections in September,” Javed Hashmi claimed, adding, it appeared as if everything had been planned in advance. “So, they are here with this kind of plan. I can’t say whose plan it is. Only the planners themselves would know this. But, their name is being brought into a bad repute,” Hashmi continued. He, however, said there was a mention of ISI and Army. “Imran Khan himself said this before the core committee.” Hashmi further said that ‘a hijacked PTI has come here’. “We have been held hostage”. Javed Hashmi said he is still the President of PTI, as Imran Khan did not follow the provisions of the ‘constitution’ in sacking him. “Imran Khan should have gone through the party’s constitution first.” Making one disclosures after another, he said that Imran Khan did not even have regard for the Constitution of Pakistan. The PTI President said Imran Khan is driven by whims and that he maligned the Supreme Court of Pakistan. He said the PTI’s core committee had warned Imran Khan to beware of Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Shaikh Rasheed. Hashmi said he would even sacrifice his life for upholding the sanctity of the Parliament, Supreme Court and other institutions of the country.

It is literally a war, because the funds used by the rump of the LTTE to procure arms are now being diverted to fight this propaganda war, and I think it’s important that we understand the seriousness and gravity of that, and the resources therefore and strategy that needs to be put in to combat it, because it uses social media and other media, and an enormous network of international money laundering and financial transactions.”

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri on September 3 announced the formation of an Indian branch of his militant group he said would spread Islamic rule and “raise the flag of jihad” across the subcontinent, reports Dawn. In a 55-minute video posted online, Zawahiri also renewed a longstanding vow of loyalty to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, in an apparent snub to the Islamic State armed group challenging al Qaeda for leadership of transnational militancy. Zawahiri described the formation of “Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent” as a glad tiding for Muslims “in Burma, Bangladesh, Assam, Gujarat, Ahmedabad, and Kashmir” and said the new wing would rescue Muslims there from injustice and oppression. Counter-terrorism experts say al Qaeda's aging leaders are struggling to compete for recruits with Islamic State, which has galvanised young followers around the world by carving out tracts of territory across the Iraq-Syria border. Islamic State leader Abu Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi calls himself a “caliph” or head of state and has demanded the loyalty of all Muslims. The group fell out with Zawahiri in 2013 over its expansion into Syria, where Baghdadi's followers have carried out beheadings, crucifixions, and mass executions.

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

The strife in the ranks of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) escalated on September 4 as its 'chief' Maulana Fazlullah and his shura expelled the Mohmand Agency chapter 'chief' Omar Khalid Khurasani and terminated his membership for indiscipline and for patronizing ‘suspicious’ militants groups such as Ahrar ul Hind and Junood Khorasan, reports The News. Omar Khalid Khurasani, whose real name is Abdul Wali, reacted through his aide and spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan, who said Maulana Fazlullah and some of his men having vested interest had been expelled from the TTP.Ehsan is now spokesman of TTP Jamaat al-Ahrar, which was recently launched by Khurasani and other 'commanders' after accusing Fazlullah of failing to run TTP as a disciplined organisation due to lack of leadership qualities. The TTP statement was issued by its ‘spokesman’ Shahidullah Shahid, who said Fazlullah had endorsed the shura decision to sack Khurasani as the head of the TTP Mohmand Agency chapter for aligning with a suspicious organization like Ahrar ul Hind and patronizing Junood Khorasan inside the Afghan Taliban movement to harm its shadow government of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The statement charged Khurasani and his men of conspiring to create differences in TTP and weaken its cause.

Upon a contempt of court case submitted by the prosecution, the three-member tribunal passed the order as it found contemptuous its report published on its official website over its judgment on former Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) Ameer (Chief) Ghulam Azam, a War Crimes convict in Liberation War of 1971. Earlier, on July 15, 2013, the ICT-1 sentenced Ghulam Azam to 90 years’ imprisonment finding him guilty of all five charges of the 1971 crimes against humanity and genocide against him. After a month of pronouncement of the judgment, the HRW on August 16, 2013 released a report on its website headlined ‘Bangladesh: Azam conviction based on flawed proceedings’.

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

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

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

NK Singh has been reminded that “the cease-fire agreement is between the Government of India and the NSCN as two entities without territorial limits”. NSCN-IM reiterated that there was no official and bilateral agreement which showed that the three words “without territorial limits” have been “deleted” or “non-existent” as “wildly claimed” by NK Singh.

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

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

Punjabi Taliban 'chief' Ismatullah Muawiya on September 5 said it would abandon insurgent activity inside the country and redirects its energies towards Afghanistan, reports Dawn. Muawiya said the faction will operate in Afghanistan under the guidance of Mullah Omar, the spiritual leader of Afghan Taliban, while its activities in Pakistan will be confined to preaching Islam. Punjabi Taliban is an influential militant faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The announcement indicates further fragmentation in the umbrella TTP, which suffered a setback on September 4 when a new bloc declared its split from the group's official leadership. The groups within TTP have not accepted Mullah Fazlullah, which has caused a serious split in the organisation.

In an all-party meeting between various parties, the Nepali Congress (NC), the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), the Communist Party Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist), Rastriya Prajatantra Party- Nepal (RPP-N) and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) represented in the Constituent Assembly (CA), being held in the offices of the Constitutional Political-Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) in Singha Durbar, Kathmandu, on September 5, on issues pertaining to constitution-making, ended without any agreement, reports Nepal News. According to the schedule of the CA, if the parties fail to reach an agreement on disputed issues by September 6, a majority-vote will decide on the issues. Instead of forging a consensus, the meetings held in different stages have led to polarisation of the parties. The three ruling coalition parties, NC, CPN-UML and RPP-N and opposition party CPN-Maoist held the opinion that all contentious issues must be resolved by process of the CA. On the contrary, UCPN-M and Madhesh-based parties blamed the ruling parties for not taking an initiative for consensus on issues like forms of governance, restructuring of the state, judiciary and election process. They stressed that the deadline of the CA schedule must be extended to reach a consensus. Meanwhile, RPP-N registered its demand for a referendum on secularism, republic and federalism.

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

The Centre has renewed the ban on Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for another five years, saying that if its activities were not curbed, it would reorganize its activists and threaten the integrity and security of the country, The Times of India reported on February 7. The last extension, notified in February 2012, was for two years. The latest notification issued by the Union Ministry for Home Affairs, lists 21 terror cases involving activists, including the rioting at Azad Maidan in Mumbai (Maharashtra) in 2012. "During the Azad Maidan agitation, of the 10 accused arrested, one Iqbal alias Pappa Gulam Rasul Shaikh, is a member," the notification pointed out. The notification highlighted the four cases registered in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) and two cases filed in Gujarat against alleged SIMI cadres since the last renewal of the ban. It pointed to the two cases in Madhya Pradesh, including the escape of six cadres from Khandwa jail in October, 2013.

The Shillong Times reports that two senior militants of the Liberation of A’chik Elite Force (LAEF) were arrested by Police in the night of September 6 who revealed that the armed group has been expanding their area of operations and making inroads into Garo Hills. Mingnam K. Sangma was arrested from his wife’s home in Rongtu village of Bajengdoba in North Garo Hills. He hailed from Gosingpita village and was originally with the Breakaway faction of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) group before joining the LAEF. Based on his leads, a joint team of Garo Hills and Assam Police raided Garo Kasumari village in Goalpara District and arrested the ‘commander of the finance unit’ of LAEF Sengrak K Marak (23). Through their revelations, Police know that the new ‘chairman’ of LAEF is one Biltang while Mathew Marak of Bakrapur village of Assam is the ‘military chief’. Mathew was a senior cadre who was arrested with three other cadres in Ri-Bhoi District of Meghalaya some years ago. He spent some time in Jowai Jail before securing bail and returning to revive his old outfit. The outfit had virtually ceased to exist following the killing of their ‘military chief’ and former police commando Peter Marak in 2006-07. The arrested duo has revealed to police that there are as many as thirteen AK rifles, ten numbers of 9mm pistols and other assortment of weapons and grenades including rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) in just two command structures of the group.

The Paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan started digging 480-Kilometre-long trenches along the border with Afghanistan in order to curb incursions across this border into Pakistan, reports Express Tribune on September 11. Colonel Faheem Babar, Commandant Qila Saifullah Scouts said, “We want to check incursions of terrorists and smugglers into Pakistan and the trenches will help control the situation along the Afghan border.”According to the FC, there is no ‘frequent route’ along the 1,270-kilometre-long Pak-Afghan border which also includes the rough terrain of mountains. Terrorists and smugglers often take advantage of these infrequent routes to enter Pakistan illegally. “They easily smuggle goods into Pakistan without paying taxes and custom duties,” an FC official said. The FC official added that in recent weeks around 60 to 70 militants intruded into Pakistani Territory from Afghanistan near the Murgha Faqirzai area of Balochistan in order to carry out attacks but FC soldiers foiled their attempts. “There was a heavy exchange of fire which also killed an FC soldier while two militants were also killed,” the FC spokesperson said.

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

Meanwhile, the Naga Hoho, the apex Naga civil society body has cautioned that ‘political ramification would be irreparable’ if the mutual agreements between the two entities [NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and the Government of India-GoI] are not upheld regarding the ceasefire coverage, reports Nagaland Post on September 12. The ‘Joint Statement’ signed by former GoI interlocutor, K Padnamabhaiah and NSCN-IM General Secretary, Th Muivah in Bangkok (Thailand) on June 14, 2001, which stated that it was ‘mutually agreed upon’ that ‘the cease-fire agreement is between the GoI and the NSCN as two entities without territorial limits’, the Naga Hoho said. Most importantly, when the NSCN-IM collective leadership met former Prime Minister, AB Vajpayee, in Osaka, Japan, on December 8, 2002, Vajpayee had assured the NSCN leaders that ‘where there is fighting there will be ceasefire’. In this backdrop, the Hoho appeal to all the stakeholders or negotiators not to mislead the people with regard to ceasefire coverage and the same spirit should be maintained even with other Naga political groups so long the ceasefire remains.

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

The September 10 encounter between Security Forces and Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Barimunda forest along Ganjam-Kandhamal border and seizure of literature in Telugu hinted at presence of Bansadhara division of CPI-Maoist cadres in the region, reports The Times of India on September 12. Police suspect the division is trying to strengthen its base in the border areas after the arrest of Odisha Maovadi Party leader Sabyasachi Panda from Berhampur on July 17. The Andhra cadres were reportedly active in Rayagada and Ganjam Districts. "We are investigating which group of the outlawed outfit was involved in the exchange of fire," said a senior Police officer. Though Police had information about movement of Chhattisgarh cadres near Kandhamal-Boudh border about a month ago, ultras were spotted for the first time in a forest near Tarsingi in Ganjam District. Police and Maoists were engaged in an exchange of fire in Kantra forest of Boudh on June 28. Besides Maoist literature in Telugu and Odia, Police seized an SLR, two magazines and 30 rounds of ammunition from the camp in Ganjam forest. "There were about three to four ultras in the camp," said Superintendent of Police (SP) (Gajapati) Satyajit Nayak.

Al Qaeda’s South Asia branch on September 11 had claimed responsibility for the September 6 raid on the West Wharf Naval dockyard in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh, that left a sailor and three attacker’s dead. A statement in Urdu from the group sent to AFP claimed that the target of the raid was a “US supply ship” and said the dead attackers included former Pakistan Navy officers. Al Qaeda said the officers quit their jobs and joined the militants after becoming radicalized. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had voiced concerns while addressing Parliament on September 10, saying: “We cannot rule out the inside help in this attack because without it the miscreants could not breach security. The operation near Karachi shore was an attack by al Qaeda in the subcontinent.” It is the first attack claimed by the terror network’s new wing, whose creation was announced by ‘Chief’ Ayman al Zawahiri on September 3. The claims, made on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in New York, will likely add to concerns about extremist infiltration of the Pakistani military’s ranks after the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), who also claimed to be behind the attack, said they received inside help.

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

The Army on September 12 emphatically stated that it was not the “scriptwriter” of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) protest marches, reports Daily Times. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa said that the Army supports constitution and democracy and has nothing to do with the present political situation in the country. “Army has no role or involvement in the situation and assumptions and speculations in this connection are regrettable,” Bajwa said while answering questions by media persons at a briefing on September 12. He said that COAS General Raheel Sharif had in his address on Youm-i-Shuhuda clearly said that the Army believes in the continuation of democracy. The DG ISPR expressed regret over rumours of the Army being a scriptwriter and said the media should reject speculative stories that are against ground realities because they are not serving the country. He said as far as facilitative role of the Army is concerned, it was accepted by the Army Chief in the greater interest of the country. He said it was the stand of the Army that it is a political issue and should be resolved politically and Army should be kept out of it.To a question he rejected reports of differences within the Army and said that it was united and cohesive institution under the command of Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif. “Issues are frankly discussed and debated in the army but the final decision is made by the army chief,” he added. About security and safety of important buildings in the Red Zone, he informed the media that the army was tasked with providing security to five buildings in Islamabad and PTV was not included in the list. He added that when the army was summoned it was successful in evacuating the attackers from the PTV building. To yet another question, he said, “While we are only supposed to look after the physical security of the Parliament building, we also ensured the safe and secure evacuation of parliamentarians. This we did as protesters had encamped themselves in the parliament lawn.”

Deliberations over the report prepared by the Constitutional Political-Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) on a report incorporating the points of contention and agreement on the basic issues of the constitution started on September 12 during the full session of Constituent Assembly (CA), reports Nepal News. During the deliberation over the report, Nepali Congress (NC) lawmaker Ramhari Khatiwada said that although it was quite legal to extend the deadline for consensus set in the CA schedule, he urged CPDCC chair Baburam Bhattarai to not ask for the same. Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) lawmaker Bhim Rawal cautioned that the risk of a re-emergence of dictatorship still existed if absolute power was concentrated on any position. Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M), lawmaker Shakti Bahadur Basnet said the deliberation over the CDPCC report was a positive step.

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

Karachi Dockyard attackers planned to hijack Navy frigate PNS Zulfiqar in their attempt on West Wharf on September 6, Dawn reported on September 13. According to informed sources, the attack was carried out entirely by serving Navy personnel, along with Owais Jakharani, a former Navy cadet who could have been given access inside without too much trouble. “It seems the intention was to hijack PNS Zulfiqar [a frigate purchased from China and inducted in July 2009],” said one of these sources. “The group of would-be hijackers, led by a senior officer, was even saluted by the guard at the bottom of the gangway, before another became suspicious of their intentions and alerted other personnel.” Naval Commandos of PNS Iqbal rushed to the scene and a gunbattle ensued. One naval officer was killed and seven others were injured. Two or three of the attackers were shot dead, one of them being Jakharani, who the Police claimed had drowned. Four attackers who had taken refuge in one of the ship’s compartments were locked in and later captured. According to another source, no fewer than 17 more individuals, all Navy personnel, including the three arrested from Quetta in Balochistan while reportedly trying to make their way to Afghanistan have been rounded up based on information extracted from those apprehended.

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

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

Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi on September 14 said that money earned through the illegal trade of slaughtered 'milking animals' goes into terrorism, reports The Times of India. She added that increasing demand for meat of milking cows in the Middle East was leading to scarcity of healthy milk and the subsequent adulteration of dairy products in India. "Traders milk the cow in front of the slaughterer to prove that they have brought a milking cow," said Gandhi. Maneka clarified that it is not a religious or communal issue as people from all communities were involved in slaughtering cows. "A slaughterer could be a Muslim but the transporter and the owners of the cows are often Hindus and non-Muslims. So it is not about religion but about trade and greed for money," she said. Citing a recent study handed over to Uttar Pradesh Police, Maneka said that a major chunk of the money earned from illegal trade of animals was being diverted to sponsor terrorist outfits in the country. "Money through trade of slaughtered animals goes into terrorism, therefore goes into killing us, why are we allowing this?"

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

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

Pakistan on September 16 rejected Afghanistan’s accusations regarding involvement of Pakistani intelligence agencies in terrorism across the border, reports Daily Times. “We express our dismay at the latest allegations levelled in the statements issued by Afghanistan’s National Security Council and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Repeated attempts by the Afghan side to implicate Pakistan’s intelligence institutions in terrorist activities are both unfounded and counter-productive,” Foreign Office (FO) said in a statement. “It has been stressed by us, time and again, that Pakistan remains committed to disallowing its territory to be used against any country. We would not allow anyone to breach Pakistan’s laws in this regard or to undermine our goals of fostering friendly and cooperative relations with neighbouring countries,” it said. “At the same time, we believe that the threat of terrorism is best addressed through mutual cooperation,” the statement added. The Foreign Office said, “Pakistan’s firm resolve to combat this menace, without any distinction or discrimination, is concretely manifested in the ongoing military operation Zarb-e-Azb. It is imperative that complementary actions are taken by the Afghan authorities on their side of the border. Elimination of terrorist sanctuaries and handing over of TTP elements that have taken refuge in Afghanistan are the first important step s in that direction,” the FO said.

A’chik National Volunteers Council (ANVC), which would sign a peace accord on September 24, stated on September 18 stated that it would continue with its original demand for creation of separate Garoland state, reports Nagaland Post. ANVC ‘spokesman’ Artist Sengsrang Sangma stated, “We will continue with our demand for creation of separate Garoland state (to be carved out of Meghalaya) not under the banner of the ANVC but politically and non-violence after signing the peace pact with the central and Meghalaya government." He further added, “This issue is very much alive as 80 per cent of our Garo people in Garo Hills wants a state of their own i.e. Garoland. There are political parties, civil society groups besides armed outfit the GNLA demanding for the same”. He added further, “We realised that an armed struggle against the state won’t help us achieve our goal. Many lives have been lost during the armed struggle for creation of Garoland.” The Telegraph further adds that when asked about whether the peace pact would bring lasting harmony in the strife-torn Garo hills where militant outfits have been emerging, disappearing and re-emerging Arist Sangma stated, “Maybe we will not be able to achieve it (peace) 100 per cent through the peace pact. But we will continue working towards achieving peace.” In Garo Hills political parties like the National People’s Party (NPP) and the Garo National Council had voiced their demand for a separate Garoland.

Al Qaeda's South Asia wing claimed responsibility for hijacking a Pakistani naval ship, PNS Zulfiqar, and trying to use it to fire rockets at United States (US) vessels in the Arabian Sea, reports The Times of India on September 18 (today). The SITE monitoring service quoted its 'spokesman', Usama Mahmoud, as saying a group of militants had succeeded in seizing control of the PNS Zulfiqar and tried to use it to attack nearby US vessels. "These mujahidin [holy warriors] had taken control of the Pakistani ship, and they were advancing towards the American fleet when the Pakistani army stopped them," he said. "As a result, the mujahidin, the lions of Allah and benefactors of the Ummah (community), sacrificed their lives for Allah, and the Pakistani soldiers spoiled their hereafter by giving up their lives in defence of the enemies of the Ummah, the Americans," he added. Al Qaeda announced the formation of the new group on September 4, 2014 with its 'chief', Ayman al-Zawahri, promising to spread Islamic rule and "raise the flag of jihad" across South Asia, home to more than 400 million Muslims.

Union Minister of Home Affairs, Rajnath Singh on September 18 raised the issue of growing radicalization among Muslims in Nepal settled near Indo-Nepal border with Nepal Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and Home Minister Bam Dev Gautam, The Times of India reports on September 18. Certain pockets in these areas are learnt to have become fishing pools for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and is suspected of being used against India. Singh is on a visit to Kathmandu for South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Nepal. An official statement released by his office said, "The Indian HM (home minister) expressed his concern on the growth of religious fundamentalism in the border areas." Intelligence agencies have been warning for the past few years that a string of madrasas (Islamic seminary) coupled with large-scale settling of Muslims has been systematically taking place in Nepal along its border with India. These colonies, says security establishment sources, are being tapped by ISI for anti-India activities. Singh also appreciated the efforts of Nepal government in dealing with trans-border crimes and underlined the need for more focused effort to control the activities of criminal elements, terrorists and other Indian insurgent groups along the Indo-Nepal border. "He expressed concern on the smuggling of fake currency notes and human trafficking. He stated that there is a need for evolving bilateral mechanism for dealing with the issue of human trafficking," said the official.

Violence is not a solution to any problem and the CRPF is against killing of Maoists. "Our job is to ensure they change their ideologies and integrate with mainstream society," he said. "Maoists have not succeeded in passing on their ideas to the new generation. Their numbers are dwindling. The police and security forces have succeeded on several occasions in making them surrender using a multi-pronged approach," said Rao. "The CRPF is willing to provide medical aid to injured Maoists.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) authorities will soon shift militants from various prisons from around the province to a new high-security prison in Mardan town (Mardan District), Central Asia Online reports on September 19. "Final touches are being made, after which prisoners will be shifted to its cells," KP Home and Tribal Affairs Secretary Akhtar Ali Shah said. Authorities are withholding specific dates for the completion of the prison's construction and the transfer of prisoners for security reasons, but the completion and transfers are expected to take place this month, Shah said. The KP Government started construction on the high-level facility after two major jailbreaks in Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan Districts. The PKR 1.78 billion (USD 17.3 million) prison features a three-layered wall and more support for guards in the form of closed-circuit TV cameras, alarms, watch towers and isolation rooms. As an added security measure, the outer wall surrounding the facility is made of bomb-proof material. Workers also built an 18-foot-wide road to facilitate round-the-clock patrols. And the prison will have a solar power system to prevent any blackouts. It'll be able to hold 3,000 inmates, most in a barracks, though the prison has 127 cells set aside for high-profile prisoners. The KP Government has introduced a number of other initiatives to improve the security at prisons. Last year it announced plans to form an 800-strong security force focusing on prisons. "The special force will be responsible for the security of the prisons all over the province," Malik Qasim, an advisor to the KP government on prisons, said. "They will be provided with the latest gadgets and sophisticated ammunition." Workers are setting up high-security zones at five other sensitive prisons in Timergara, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat and Karak to segregate hard-core militants from the other inmates, KP Inspector General (IG) of Prisons Kifayatullah Khan said recently.

As Maoist organisations from across the world prepare for a meeting in Milan, Italy, on September 27-28, the ‘central committee’ of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) admitted that it faced several setbacks ever since the Indian Security Forces (SFs) launched ‘Operation Green Hunt’, reports The Indian Express on September 20. Ahead of the meeting, it called for support to counter the operation which they term as a “counter-revolutionary multi-pronged countrywide offensive of the enemy”. The CPI-Maoist, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, told the Milan International Conference in a letter uploaded on its website bannedthought.net “The situation we face is very difficult. But we are firmly holding on, boldly facing up to it, and pushing forward to overcome it. Needless to say, the solidarity you extend immensely helps us in this task.” It further said “in the face of superior forces we are striving hard for revival of the movement from the areas where we had to retreat.” It also said it is opening a new war front in “Sahyadri (Western Ghats) border regions of Karnataka-Kerala-Tamil Nadu”. It also referred to “setbacks” in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana but added that the revolutionary people’s committees are trying to rebuild the party organisation. The party said it is facing an internal crisis with many of its members surrendering. “Repeated and heavy attacks have caused harm to the party structures in the villages and consequently to the people’s committees and mass organisations. A section of the masses have become passive,” it said. It claimed it had formed the “people’s government” at the district level in Dandakaranya, where it is running schools with a specially designed syllabus and encouraging a community-based economic model of “self-reliance”.

Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the frontal organisation of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) resurfaced in the World Wide Web and launched its websites www.jamatdawa.org and www.jamatdawa.net hosted from a server in the United States of America (USA), Hindustan Times reported on September 20. However, this is not the first time when JuD has managed a return to the World Wide Web as in the past the banned outfit has changed its identity, floated various charity organisations and tweaked names to launch websites. Police sources said, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, the JuD ‘chief’, along with Zafar Iqbal and Abdullah Yusuf Azam had joined hands to form a charitable organisation under the name Markaz al-Dawa Wal Irshad (MDI) (The Centre for Religious Learning and Propagation) in 1986, and soon floated a website under the name www.markazdawa.org. However, after the 9/11 attack, the United States of America mounted pressure on Pakistan to dismantle its terror network, imposed sanctions on MDI, and ensured that the organization, which acted as a front for LeT, shut down its website. However, US could do little when MDI shifted the entire content of its website to another online portal named www.dawacenter.org. The website remained active till Saeed re-christened his organization as Jamat-ud-Dawa in 2001 and launched a website in Urdu and English under the name www.jamatuddawa.org, added police sources. The site voiced the opinion of JuD’s senior leadership, including head of JuD’s department of political affairs, Hafiz Abd-ur-Rahman Makki, as well as Maulana Ameer Hamza, Yahya Mujahid, Hafiz Abd-ur-Raoof, Hafiz Khalid Waleed, and Abdullah Muntazir till Mumbai 26/11 terrorist attack in 2008. Soon after the attack, the United National Security Council once again declared JuD to be front of LeT, the terrorist wing that plotted the Mumbai terror attack, and levied sanctions on the outfit.

Parties have already agreed to form the HLPC to guide tasks related to the peace process.

On September 18, the delegation had met Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju. ABSU President Pramod Bodo stated that the delegation underlined the need for resolving the long-pending issues permanently, for which a time-bound action must be taken by the authorities concerned and added that “The ABSU and the Joint Movement Group want an amicable solution to the Bodoland issue through the talks process. As we believe in democracy, the government that rules or the party that is voted to power must come forward to resolve the issues as their responsibility rather than delaying the issues for long periods of time,”

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

On September 23, the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) leaders said there cannot be progress on constitution drafting process if the leadership of High-level Political Committee (HLPC) is denied to the party, reports ekantipur.com. They said since Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) are in the government, the opposition party should get the HLPC leadership to make the constitution drafting and peace process easy. The Maoist leaders are of the view that as a major part of 12-point understanding and Comprehensive Peace Agreement, their party has the natural claim over HLPC leadership. The UCPN-M along with other Madhes-based parties have been obstructing Parliament demanding HLPC leadership. They argued that HLPC would help create the environment for the completion of peace process and constitution drafting.

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

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

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

Peshawar Corps Commander Lieutenant General Khalid Rabbani on September 24 called for action against terrorist groups in southern Punjab and Balochistan, saying the ‘successful’ Zarb-e-Azb operation was not enough to end the terrorist threat in the country, reports Dawn. “Terrorism cannot be eliminated without intelligence-based operations throughout the country – particularly in Southern Punjab and Sindh,” he said. He called for greater focus of these operations in Southern Punjab and Balochistan and a stronger political backing for these actions. He stated that political indecisiveness had already delayed Zarb-e-Azb for at least three years. He said it was agreed in principle that “military means must be politically driven”. This, he maintained, led to delay in start of the operation. The army, General Rabbani said, had been trying to convince the government since 2011 for starting an operation in North Waziristan Agency. “The nation had wanted to wish away the problem in North Waziristan not realising its gravity,” he said, adding that “had our leaders seen what was coming and taken timely decisions a lot of casualties could have been avoided”. Talking about the progress in Zarb-e-Azb, the Corps Commander claimed a major portion of the tribal agency’s 4,707 square kilometres had been cleared. He likened the Boya-Degan region of North Waziristan, now ‘cleared’ by military recently, to “Pentagon of al Qaeda”, which housed the terror group’s communication network and command and control centre. “Our action has destroyed their system, wherewithal and will to fight,” he added. He claimed that there was no possibility of return of foreign fighters to the area.

Additional Secretary Ministry of Interior, Mukhtar Ali Khan, told the Senate Standing Committee on Interior on September 25 that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) issued nearly 79,256 arms licenses having countrywide validity over the past one year, reports Dawn. The committee chairman, Talha Mehmood, accused the KP Government of concealing facts and claimed that it had issued licences for prohibited bore. Mukhtar Ali Khan, meanwhile, said Sindh had issued 17,000 licenses over the past one year. Punjab issued 2,482 licences during the same period, including 133 for arms of prohibited bore for Nandipur power project, and Balochistan 1,132 arms licences. Even issuing 80,000 licences of non-prohibited bore in a year was alarming and warranted a thorough probe, he said, adding that a new arms policy prepared by the interior ministry had been sent to the law ministry for opinion. The policy, however, has been sent to the Prime Minister and was likely to be discussed by the cabinet. The 18th Constitution Amendment granted the provinces the authority to issue arms licences, and they wanted to keep it, added Mukhtar Ali Khan.

British Police on September 25 arrested nine suspects, including leading a radical preacher of Pakistani descent, Anjem Choudary (47), in London on suspicion of links with the banned extremist group Al-Muhajiroun, reports Dawn. The arrests "are part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism and are not in response to any immediate public safety risk", Scotland Yard said. Anjem has said that he does not "feel sorry" for British hostage Alan Henning, who is being held by Islamic State (IS) militants, because he is not a Muslim, and has called IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the "prince of believers". Al-Muhajiroun aims to overthrow the British Government and replace it with an Islamic state before establishing a global Islamic caliphate, according to the London-based International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence. The organisation was last banned in Britain under the Terrorism Act in 2010 although it has been proscribed in the past only to re-appear again under different names - as in the wake of the bombings in London on July 7, 2005. Al-Muhajiroun has also celebrated those responsible for the September 11, 2001, (also known as 9/11) attacks on the United States as "the Magnificent 19".

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on September 26 decided in principle to remove ‘objectionable material’ from the textbooks of local primary schools in their attempt to please their coalition partner, Jama'at-e-Islami (JeI), reports Dawn. An unnmed senior official of the Education Department said that JeI leaders had voiced reservations about the printing of pictures of minor girls without dupatta (a piece of cloth to cover the bosom and head), Christmas cake and a Cross emblem on an ambulance instead of Crescent, the mention of good morning instead of Assalam-u-Alaikum (Islamic salutation), and presence of some other ‘objectionable’ stuff in textbooks for primary schools. “JeI leaders have complained about minor things in textbooks, whose removal has been decided in principle,” an unnamed official said. “Officials of the department concerned and textbook board have formally agreed to remove objectionable contents from textbooks and will induct material to be proposed by Jama'at,” said Elementary and Secondary Education Minister Atif Khan.

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

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was considering the surrendering of several of its key members to the Security Forces (SFs) during the final stages of the war, Northern Provincial councilor and widow of former LTTE Eastern Political Wing Head, Velayutham Sasitharan alias S. Elilan, Ananthi Sasitharan said, reports The Nation on September 28. Ananthi Sasitharan told The Nation that a few days before the war ended, Elilan had informed her that he would be meeting LTTE’s ‘political wing head’, Balasingham Nadesan with regard to the surrendering of some key members. Ananthi Sasitharan’s statement comes in the wake of claims reportedly made by Sasirekha, the widow of S.P. Tamil Selvan, who was the ‘political wing’ head of LTTE before Balasingham Nadesan, that the ‘White Flag incident’ (May 18, 2009) was fabricated. Sasirekha, who is currently residing in Paris, had reportedly stated that the incident did not happen since the LTTE leader did not allow any of his senior members to surrender to the SFs. Ananthi Sasitharan, however, stated that Sasirekha would not have known the actual situation since she had surrendered to the SFs through a different route, Irattaivaikkal, while the key LTTE members were still at Mullivaikkal, Northern Province.

Government of India (GoI) will soon come out with a new policy for dealing with militancy in the northeastern region and the existing policy is being reviewed thoroughly, reports The Assam Tribune on September 29. The Government is also examining the viability of continuing with the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). An unnamed official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stated that the policy of talking with any militant group which expresses its desire for talks may be amended. It is now being reviewed whether the talks are yielding the desired results as new outfits are cropping up every year in the North East and on most occasions, the splinter groups of the outfits under ceasefire agreement are creating major problems. He further added that the ongoing talks with the militant outfits would continue but the Government is concerned over the slow progress and may decide to set deadlines to complete the process with every outfit. Official also pointed out that sometimes shortage of Central forces creates problems as the States keep asking for more forces and only strengthening of the State police forces would reduce the over-dependence on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and other such forces. MHA sources further said that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh would personally review the policies and the situation in the North East before formally announcing the new policy to deal with militancy in the region. GoI is also reviewing the pros and cons of using AFSPA for years.

On September 28, Chairman of the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) of the Constituent Assembly (CA) Baburam Bhattarai said that he is no longer optimistic about promulgation of a new constitution by the January 22 deadline, reports Republica. Bhattarai said the CA failed to make tangible progress in constitution making due to non-cooperation by top leaders of major political parties. Bhattarai expressed his dismay as top leaders from major political parties didn’t even attend his committee, let alone hold concerted negotiations to settle major contentious issues. “I worked hard to make top leaders cautious about time constraints and the urgency for settling disputes. But I am disappointed. Now we have two more days. Let’s hope for a miracle,” CPDCC member Atahar Kamal Musalman quoted Bhattarai as saying at the meeting held in Kathmandu. Bhattarai said he was frustrated as the top leaders cold-shouldered his request to immediately settle disputes related to state restructuring, system of governance, judiciary and the electoral system.
