The Indian Government, on May 2, demanded the custody of the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) from Pakistan, following US President Barack Obama's announcement about the killing of the al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden by American forces "deep inside Pakistan", according to Times of India. "We take note with grave concern that part of the statement in which President Obama said that the firefight in which Osama bin Laden was killed took place in Abbottabad 'deep inside Pakistan'. This fact underlines our concern that terrorists belonging to different organisations find sanctuary in Pakistan," U ion Home Minister P Chidambaram said.

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, on May 3, said that the death of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden would not mean the end of terror and India would have to be "very vigilant" until Pakistan dismantled terror infrastructure within its territory, reports Times of India."The terrorist organizations that threaten us like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) continue to threaten India and plot against India. As long as Pakistan entertains these terror outfits and does not dismantle the terror infrastructure, we will have to be very vigilant," Chidambaram was quoted saying.

India's most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai terror attacks, has emerged as the world's second most wanted man, next only to a Mexican drug lord, after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, reports Times of India, quoting a report published in The Guardian on May 4. According to reports, like bin Laden, Ibrahim "may well be based in Pakistan." "The most wanted man in India heads up a 5,000-strong organised crime network called the D-Company that is involved in everything from drugs trafficking to contract killing in Pakistan, India and the UAE," the report said. According to Washington reports, Dawood uses the same smuggling routes as al Qaeda, and has worked with both the mother organisation and its off-shoot Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks.

US ambassador to India Timothy Roemer said on May 4 that Pakistan must do more in terms of progress and results in the trial of Mumbai terror attack (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) case, reports Times of India. "Pakistan must do more in terms of its overall approach to (terrorist) groups not only like al-Qaida but also Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) as a terrorist group with more regional and international reach. They (terrorists) killed scores of Indians (in the 26/11 attack), they killed six Americans. It (Pakistan) must do more, making sure that people like (LeT operative Zaki-ur-Rehman) Lakhvi stay in prison," Roemer was quoted saying.

General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of the Northern Command, Lieutenant General K T Parnaik, said that Army and intelligence agencies are having all the required details of the terrorist camps operating in the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Asked about any impact of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden’s killing on Jammu and Kashmir, Parnaik said, "We don’t see any immediate repercussion in the State particularly in Valley but these are the issues that only time decides how the things will get unfolded", adding "let us wait and see". About the blast in Udhampur (May 2, 2011) where a senior Army officer escaped unhurt, the Northern Army Commander said that Army was worried about this new strategy of the terrorists as such an incident has never happened in South of Pir Panchal during the past several years.

A student organisation based in Pune in Maharashtra is under the terror radar for allegedly propagating the ideology of al Qaeda across the country, Times of India reported on May 9. According to intelligence and security agencies, the group, Islamic Students Congregation, played host in Pune in 2007 to a Sudanese al Qaeda leader who came to India to study the possibility of carrying out terror attacks in the country. Confirming this information, former Joint Intelligence Committee Chief S D Pradhan, (who was formerly a Deputy National Security Advisor) who was then heading the joint intelligence task force under M K Narayanan, said that this congregation is actively spreading al-Qaeda's philosophy including material on Osama bin Laden. The congregation formed in Pune comprises mainly Arab students. "While there is no evidence yet of this group planning to carry out a terror strike in India, they are clandestinely spreading al-Qaeda ideology in the form of CDs and other al-Qaeda literature. It is still very much active and remains a security threat," said Pradhan.

According to disclosures made Guantanamo Bay detainees released by Wikileaks al Qaeda operatives used a New Delhi-based organisation, Tablighi Jamaat, as a cover to obtain travel documents and shelter, Indian Express reported on may 9. Furthermore, say the paper, at least three of the hardcore inmates at the prison had stayed at the organisation’s facilities in Delhi and around. The records revealed by Wikileaks contain interrogation reports and analysis of 779 inmates of the Cuba bay prison. The US records identify the New Delhi-headquartered Jamaat Tabligh (JT) (as the name appears in its records) as a “proselytising organisation that willingly supports terrorists”. Also according to reports al Qaeda used the JT to facilitate and fund the international travels of its members. Most recently the JT has been linked to the July 11 2006, terrorist attacks in Mumbai’s local trains, in which at least 207 people were killed and over 800 injured.” Several of the inmates are recorded as having used JT’s facilities in India and abroad for shelter and travel documents.

According to The Times of India, inter-twining between Kashmiri militancy and al-Qaeda is visible from the interrogation details of many Pakistani prisoners who were in Guantanamo Bay on suspicion of being al-Qaida and Taliban members. Interrogation details of 69 Pakistani prisoners are available from Wikileaks. The intermingling between Kashmiri militancy and al-Qaeda raises the possibility of Qaeda putting more focus on India in future. Many Pakistani prisoners in the US military prison, such as Abdul Sedar Nafeesi [militant of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islam (HuJI)], Abdul Sattar [both Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and HuJI] and Abdul Halim Sadiqi and his brother Abdullah Sadiqi [both cadres of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)] have significant focus on Kashmir. The US interrogation report rates JeM as a Tier 1 target, which is a designated terror group having state support. The interrogation report said JeM was aligned with the pro-Taliban political party Jamiat-i-Ulema-i Islam (JUI-F).

The Indian authorities on May 9 released detailed dossiers on five Pakistani nationals, including a serving Major of Pakistani spy agency Inter services Intelligence(ISI) who have been chargesheeted by US authorities in connection with the Mumbai terror attacks, reports Times of India. The move is aimed at highlighting the role of ISI as a terror sponsor at a time when the detection of Osama bin Laden in the garrison town of Abbottabad deep inside Pakistan has trained the global spotlight anew on ISI's terror links across the globe. The individual identified as 'Major Iqbal'also figures in a US chargesheet accusing him of being one of the conspirators behind Mumbai terror attacks( November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11).

PTI reports that the US Ambassador in India, Timothy Roemer, on May 10, denied that his country viewed the terror attacks in New York (9/1) and in Mumbai (26/11) differently. Roemer also made it clear that Pakistan was required to do much more on its own soil to wipe out terror and pointed out that the US was mounting pressure on Pakistan to do more on terror and also target the militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) apart from the al-Qaeda. The US ambassador also talked about the initiatives taken up by the US to help India. "We are now working to help upgrade forensics capabilities of India and exploring possibilities of setting up a new national counter terrorism centre here to prevent terrorist attacks in the future," he said.

Referring to the revelations made Wikileaks based on statements made by the Guantanamo Bay detainees, PTI reported on May 10 that the Delhi based religious organisation Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) is under increasing suspicion for having links with the international Islamist militant outfit al-Qaeda. According to the Guantanamo Bay files al-Qaeda members at various times had used the network of TJ and often posed as missionaries to access visas to Pakistan and other destinations, and used the Jamaat's premises as shelter. The names of al Qaeda militants like Hamir Mohammed (a Sudani national and also a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadre), Muhammed Sulayman Barre (a Somali national), Abdul Bukhary (citizen of Saudi Arabia) came up in the reports.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on May 11 called for a "thorough investigation" into the presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, Times of India reported. He also said that Laden's killing in Pakistan had created a new situation in which he saw an opportunity for India, Afghanistan and Pakistan to work together and end terrorism. After talks with the Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, Singh also announced fresh commitments worth $ 500 million to Afghanistan as India prepares for what is being described as the endgame in the war-torn country in the wake of Osama's killing and impending withdrawal of US-led international forces. India's announcement of fresh commitment was in addition to the development assistance worth $1.5 billion already committed to Afghanistan.Singh also effectively ruled out the possibility of India conducting a similar Abbottabad-like operation in Pakistan.

Ahead of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to India, Germany on May 27 asked Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Army to come clean over the issue of support network for Osama bin Laden who was recently killed by the US in Abbottabad, reports Times of India. Merkel will arrive in Delhi on May 31 for a day-long working visit and hold the first India-Germany strategic dialogue with PM Manmohan Singh. "It is important that the Pakistani government comes clean in order to dispel doubts about possible role of Pakistani Army and its secret services in supporting Bin Laden and other terrorist outfits," German Ambassador to India Thomas Matussek said while briefing reporters about Merkel's visit. Matussek, however, said the international community was faced with a very tricky situation in Pakistan and suggested that it may not be prudent to tighten the screws further on the country. "In foreign policy, one has to decide if shouting from the rooftop is going to help. However, we can't turn a blind eye, or can't even be seen as turning a blind eye, to what is going on," he added, as he reminded that Pakistan too was a victim of terror.

France has assured India it has for now put on hold supply of "heavy" military hardware to Pakistan, in the backdrop of concerns over the huge amounts of arms Pakistan is getting from the West in the name of the so-called global war on terrorism, reports Times of India. France also made it clear that Pakistan needs to explain the questions which have arisen from Osama bin Laden's killing in the garrison town of Abbottabad, where he had been living for long under the very nose of the Pakistan Army. France, however, has supplied several major weapon systems to Pakistan, including the Agosta-90B submarines, in the past. Side-stepping questions on whether France was now reviewing this policy, Longuet said, "We are awaiting certain clarifications from Pakistan." "After the death of Osama, Pakistan should be given an opportunity to explain its position vis-a-vis terrorism," he said, adding that "terror cannot be a weapon of anybody or any government" on being asked about reports detailing ISI's role in the 26/11 terror strikes in Mumbai.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and the visiting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, committed their Governments to comprehensive sharing of information on the Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) on May 27 in New Delhi reports PTI. Napolitano said that the U.S. had given India “full access” to David Coleman Headley, the U.S.-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative of Pakistani origin who played a key role in the Mumbai attacks. Referring to the threat posed by the Pakistan based militant outfit LeT she said, “I think, in my judgment, the LeT ranks right up there in the al-Qaeda and related groups as terrorist organisations, one that seeks to harm people and takes innocent lives. Our perspective, the U.S. perspective, is LeT is very, very, I do not want to say, important as that gives it too much credibility, but an organisation that is of the same ranking as al-Qaeda-related groups.”
