The MEA, in a statement said, "India has been demanding action against Saeed, one of the masterminds of the Mumbai terrorist attack [26/11], since the barbaric and dastardly attack took place."

Arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadre and September 13, 2008 Delhi serial bomb blast accused Salman Ahmed was remanded to eight-day Police custody on March 8 (today), report Economic Times. The investigators claim that he has already provided some details of the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) plans to launch fresh attacks on Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. As reported earlier, Ahmed was arrested on March 6 by the Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh Police from Siddarth Nagar District. However, Police claimed that they recovered a Nepali passport obtained under a fake name and an international SIM card from Salman’s possession. After his name cropped up in the bomb blast cases, Police claimed, he moved to Nepal, where he reportedly got the passport issued in June 2009. With the help of the passport, which was issued in the name of Mohd Fahad Ansari, the IM operative travelled to Pakistan and other countries. Ahmed is believed to have gone to Pakistan in December 2009 and returned to Nepal in January 2010. According to Police, Ahmed is an expert in carrying out blasts. He is also alleged to have received training in handling weapons and explosives during his stay in Pakistan.

Hafiz Saeed, the founder and ‘chief’ of Lashkar-e-Toiba (also known as Jama’at-ud-Da’awa) and the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai terror attacks, accused India of waging water wars on Pakistan while addressing a public rally in Lahore on March 8, reports Economic Times. He urged the Pakistani Government to prepare the country to counter "Indian aggression" and called for launching a nation-wide movement against India on the issue. Saeed maintained that India has imposed war on Pakistan by "constructing illegal dams and diverting water from Pakistani rivers".

A Bangladeshi national and his Kashmiri associate, both belonging to the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) outfit, were on March 10 sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court for possessing explosives and waging war against country, reports Times of India. Additional Sessions Judge Nivedita Anil Sharma sentenced Mohammad Amin Wani, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, and Lutfur Rahman, the Bangladeshi national who was reportedly to have received training at the instance of Pakistan-based Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, to life imprisonment. Awarding the sentence, the judge said they did not deserve capital punishment as the case was not the rarest of rare. Wani (29) was arrested on January 4, 2007, from Seeshganj Gurdwara in the old city area by Delhi Police's special cell for possessing INR 450000 hawala (informal money laundering system) money. Rahman (30) was arrested from Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station with 1.5 kilograms explosives and a timer. According to the Police, the duo was in the capital to disrupt the January 26 Republic Day function.

Terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) has set up bases not only in Karachi in Pakistan, where its top leaders Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal are currently located, but also has safe houses in Gulf countries, Nepal and Bangladesh, interrogation of arrested IM cadres has revealed, reports Economics Times. Such bases normally serve to house runaway IM leaders who operate from there to keep the local jihadi network alive. They also offer temporary shelter to IM recruits during transit between Pakistan, where they receive their terror training, and India. As per matching versions of IM operations put out by Salman, arrested by the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police from Sidharthnagar District, Amjad Khawaja, arrested by the Hyderabad Police and Shahzad, arrested from Azamgarh District in UP, IM cadres were receiving training at the same facilities used by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), both in Karachi as well as other parts of Pakistan. However, the focus of IM training is mostly bomb-making, unlike LeT cadres who are trained to fire sophisticated arms and use guerrilla tactics. However, IM cadres, recruited from various Indian locations including Azamgarh, Bhatkal village near Mangalore in Karnataka and Hyderabad, receive their training from serving as well as retired officers of the Pakistani Army, who are referred to as ‘Bada Saheb’ and ‘Chhota Saheb’. Incidentally, this is part of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)-engineered ‘Karachi Project’ unveiled first by American terror suspect David Coleman Headley. Under the ‘Karachi Project’, Indian terror kingpins recruit jihadis from here and send them across to Pakistan for training. Once trained, these cadres ex-filtrate through the Jammu and Kashmir border or enter India via Nepal, Bangladesh or UAE. Further, Salman revealed that the outfit’s new recruiting grounds are now in South India. Salman claimed that hit hard by the arrest of its cadres between 2008 and 2009, the IM has launched a fresh recruitment drive. Investigators said that the terrorist outfit has traded its traditional bases in Uttar Pradesh for South India. Investigators also adds that one of the reasons for the IM to shift down south could be several arrests from the Azamgarh District base and a constant scrutiny by intelligence agencies.

The European Union’s (EU) counter-terrorism coordinator, Gilles de Kerchove, said on March 10 that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is a "dangerous group" having a "global agenda", Daily Excelsior reported. "We see Lashkar-e-Toiba as a very dangerous organisation with a global agenda and not a local agenda," he explained. Apparently, referring to Pakistan he added, "It is all but a good idea to fight India with proxy through terrorist organisations." He was addressing a seminar on Yemen organised by Carnegie in Brussels (Belgium).

The Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, continues to maintain links with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the terrorist outfit responsible for November 26 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), and Islamabad is reluctant to take action against its leaders and its network, several eminent United States (US) scholars and experts of South Asia have categorically told US lawmakers, reports Times of India. Attending a special Congressional hearing on March 11 on 'Lashkar-e-Toiba and the growing ambition of Islamic militancy in Pakistan', Congressmen unanimously expressed concern that despite best of the efforts by the Obama administration, the ISI continues to maintain links with LeT and that Pakistan is not taking decisive action against the terrorist outfit. Testifying before the Congressional committee, Marvin G. Weinbaum, from the Middle East Institute -- a Washington-based think tank, said the ISI is believed to continue to share intelligence and provide protection to LeT. Eminent Pakistani scholar Shuja Nawaz too conceded that the relationship between the ISI and LeT has stayed overtime. "The LeT's emerging role as a trans regional force that has broadened its aim to include India and perhaps even Afghanistan, by linking with the Students Islamic Movement of India or SIMI and the Harkat-ul-Jihad al Islami or HUJI of Bangladesh poses a serious threat to regional stability," Nawaz said. Nawaz is currently the director, South Asia Center, The Atlantic Council of the United States.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked Kerala Police to step up security in Kochi following intelligence inputs that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants may attempt to strike the coastal city, reports Zee News. Following the intelligence inputs, Union Home Secretary G. K. Pillai spoke to Kochi Police Commissioner Manoj Abraham and asked him to beef up security in and around the city, official sources said. The commercial capital of Kerala hosts Southern Command of Indian Navy, a famous Jewish synagogue, Kochi Shipyard and some other sensitive installations. The Kochi backwaters frequented by foreign and domestic tourists are also believed to be under the radar of terrorist groups. When contacted, Kerala Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan told news agency in Thiruvananthapuram that the State Director General of Police (DGP) received some information from the Union Government and steps have been taken on that basis. High alert machinery has been put on active mode following the receipt of the information, sources said.

Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has identified as many as 320 targets across the globe, 20 of which are in India, US Congressman Gary Ackerman said, reports Times of India. "In the wake of the (26/11) Mumbai attack, investigators uncovered in controller records and e-mail accounts a list of 320 locations worldwide deemed by the LeT as possible targets for attack. Only 20 of the targets were located within India," Gary Ackerman said before a Congressional hearing last week. "The LeT has been attacking US forces in Afghanistan almost from day one and their forces are present throughout Afghanistan. The LeT has been slaughtering Indians by the score for decades. The LeT has put the world on notice that they intend to escalate the carnage and spread it worldwide," he said. Noting that it would be unfair and wrong to suggest that the LeT problem is strictly confined to Pakistan and Middle East, he said, adding in fact, one of the key facilitators of the Mumbai attack was an American of Pakistani extraction, referring to David Coleman Headley. "Unfortunately, the LeT enjoys a substantial global network stretching from the Philippines to the United Kingdom," Ackerman added. According to Ackerman, though after 9/11 Pakistan officially banned the LeT, the reality is that like other Islamist terrorist groups, LeT maintains a clear public presence and a vast recruiting network by providing extremely useful charitable and social services to millions of impoverished people in that country. "Public estimates suggest LeT operates some 2,000 offices in towns and villages throughout Pakistan, as well as maintaining ties with the Pakistani military. There is, in fact, no reason to doubt that Pakistan's military is likely paying compensation to the families of the terrorists killed in the Mumbai attacks. These are our allies in the war on terror," he informed. "Operational funding for the LeT comes from charitable fundraising amongst the general population in Pakistan, but also depends heavily upon contributions by Pakistani businessmen living abroad and other wealthy individuals from the Persian Gulf. Let us note too, these states are also our allies in the war on terror," Ackerman said.

The Union Ministry for Home Affairs (MHA) sources in New Delhi said that the conspiracy was part of the Karachi Project — a joint venture of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) which involves serving and retired officers of the Pakistan Army and fugitive terrorists from India. The project, first revealed by the American LeT terrorist David Coleman Headley to his Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) handlers, is designed to use Indians for setting off terror attacks in India.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has two support groups in Kerala, reveals arrested militant Thadiyantavide Nazeer during interrogation by the Police team in Kannur on March 17, reports Express Buzz. Going by the revelations made by Nazeer, who is now under the custody of the Police in Kannur, he was in charge of the support group of LeT in north Kerala. His main assignment was to recruit youths for terrorist activities. He also told investigating officials that LeT had given him INR 75,000 during his stay in Bangladesh after four Malayali LeT militants were killed in Jammu and Kashmir. The funds for the Kerala operations came from Gulf countries, according to Police sources.

Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley, accused of plotting the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks and conspiring to target a Danish newspaper, pleaded guilty before a U.S. court in Chicago on March 18, reports The Hindu. Headley told U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber that he wanted to change his plea to guilty, in an apparent bid to get a lighter sentence than the maximum death penalty. Headley reportedly charged on 12 counts, admitted he was guilty of all of them.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on March 25 urged the UK and the US to put pressure on Pakistan to shut down terror camps operating in that country adding terror training must come to an end, reports Times of India. In an interview to BBC, he said that the civilian Government in Pakistan has not moved towards reining in the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and likened Pakistan-based militant outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to al-Qaeda. Chidambaram, on an official visit in London, said things would be better "if there is a truly civilian Government in Pakistan which can rein in the ISI and direct the army and the ISI to move in and dismantle their terror infrastructure". "The camps must be closed. Training must come to an end", he added. Chidambaram also said that it would be "naive" for Western countries to think that only India faces the threat from Pakistan-based terrorists. "Once you allow these terror groups to train, recruit and be able to build capacity to strike, they can strike in India, they can strike in UK, they can strike in Denmark as they were planning out of the Karachi project", he said. "No country is truly safe....Don't think that India alone is under threat. Every country is under threat from these groups and the Lashkar-e-Toiba today is like the al-Qaeda, a multi-country group,” he stressed.

According to Times of India, several satellite phone conversations intercepted by Indian agencies in the past few months indicate that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is now deeply involved in attempts to drive India out of Afghanistan. These intercepts, which have been brought to the notice of US security agencies, are in Urdu and not just in Pashto which, according to Indian officials, suggests the involvement of LeT. The location of the satellite phone in most of these conversations was established in areas adjoining the Kunar province along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Kunar is the place where LeT was first formed in the early 1990s. One such conversation was intercepted in the first week of February 2010 by the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) in which terrorists were heard talking about the need to hurt India in Kabul. "Unlike earlier, apart from Pashto, many of these recent intercepts have been in Urdu. These were taken up with US agencies and they later authenticated them," said an official source, adding that through the intercepts, India has been able to confirm at least five meetings since September 2009 in which plans to attack Indians in Afghanistan were discussed. The intercepts also revealed that ISI officials were in constant touch with not just LeT but also other groups in Afghanistan to carry out attacks against Indians and Indian establishments in Afghanistan. The first of these was in Kunar in September 2009 in which LeT played host to the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Taliban leaders and other groups like Hizb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HIG) led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, an ISI lackey and rabid India-baiter. According to Indian officials, it appears that the LeT is trying to revive its old base in Kunar and use it to carry its battle against India to Afghanistan. A week after the February 26 attacks on Indians in two guesthouses in Kabul, a spokesperson for the Afghan intelligence service had said that the perpetrators were from the LeT because they were heard talking in Urdu by those present at the spot. US counter-terror coordinator Daniel Benjamin said in New Delhi on March 25 that US was focusing on LeT because it was filling up the gap left by "a diminished Al Qaida".

Times of India reports that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley identified five-six serving officers of the Pakistan Army among the leaders of the Karachi Project, which seeks to organize attacks on India through fugitive Indian jihadis being sheltered in Karachi by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)-LeT combine. Sources said that besides serving Majors Samir Ali and Iqbal of Pakistan Army, Headley has told his FBI handlers about the role of one Colonel Shah and at least two other officers of the Pakistan Army in the Karachi Project. The role of two serving officers of the Pakistan Army, Majors Samir Ali and Iqbal, in the Karachi Project, was reportedly mentioned in the dossier that was submitted to visiting Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir in New Delhi on February 25.

Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), predominately a threat to India, is fast expanding operations to other South Asian countries including Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives, said Admiral Robert Willard, Commander of the US Pacific Command in his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 27, according to Times of India. The dangerously expanding influence of LeT, which was responsible for the Mumbai attack in 2008, is an issue of concern for the Obama Administration, he said. "Right now our concern is the movement of Lashkar-e Taiba, the terrorist group that emanates from Pakistan that was responsible for the Mumbai attacks in India, and specifically their positioning in Bangladesh and Nepal, the Maldives and Sri Lanka," Willard said in response to a question from Senator George Lemieux. Admiral Robert Willard said the US was working "very closely with the Indians" and within to develop the necessary plans to counter LeT and its movement into the Asia-Pacific region. Asked specifically if the LeT is a regional threat or a threat to India, Willard said as of now Lashkar is predominately a threat to India. "We're attempting to develop a further understanding of the extent to which they're a regional threat. If you'll recall, Lashkar-e-Taiba was evidenced in Chicago with the arrest of Headley," he said. "And we have certainly knowledge of their influence within the region beyond the countries that I just mentioned. The extent of that influence is what we're taking under study," he said. Responding to a question from Senator Daniel Akaka, Willard said the military-to-military relationship with India has been evolving over the last decade and has also started at the tactical level service-to-service type interaction.

In a veiled reference to Pakistan, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on March 28 pressed the point that India continued to remain vulnerable to State sponsored terror, reports Times of India. The remarks come at a time when fresh revelations by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Headley indicate that there could be five-six serving Pakistani officers who were involved in the Karachi project. Chidambaram said, “The challenge before security is that the source of the terror lies across our border and they have the support of the state and therefore their capacity to reach here and strike is very high.’’ At the same time, he also said that the Security Forces have the capacity to give a "swift and decisive" response to any terror attack targeted against the country. Chidambaram said that cities in India were as vulnerable to terror as those in other parts of the world. "Like any other country we are vulnerable to terror. We are no more vulnerable and no less vulnerable to terror than any other country," he said.
