According to a recent secret diplomatic cable of the United States State Department released by WikiLeaks, Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) had made elaborate plans in June 2009 to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, PTI reported on December 6. The cable, created on June 19, 2009, was sent from the office of the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to the “Security Officer, Collective Priority,” and to the US embassies in Tripoli, Casablanca and Johannesburg. The cable identified a Pakistani LeT member, Shafiq, as the mastermind of the plot that was to be executed by a module led by an Indian operative, identified as Hussein. The hit job was to be carried out by one Sameer, an India-based LeT cadre. Providing some geographic information for the operations, the cable further said that Shafiq had been seeking out information on possible training sites for the operations in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. According to yet another leaked cable which was sent on November 27, 2006 by former US Ambassador to Pakistan Ryan C Crocker, American officials pressurized the Pakistan Government to crack down on the LeT and its frontal organisation Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) but were unable to make much headway.

An Army Captain and a Pakistani militant affiliated with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) were killed in a 20-hour-long gun battle in Sopore town of Baramulla District, reported Daily Excelsior. The gunfight erupted in the town on Srinagar-Kupwara highway in the evening of December 7 when a joint search party of Police and Rashtriya Rifles (21st Battalion) laid a siege around a house following specific information about presence of two suspected LeT militants. An Army Captain was injured in the initial encounter. The Captain succumbed to injuries in the morning of December 8. The Captain was identified as Upmanyu Singh, according to Times of India. "The operation was halted for the night to avoid collateral damages and resumed this morning," a Police spokesman said on December 8, adds Daily Excelsior. Official sources said the operation ended at around 3pm after the house, where the militants were believed hiding, caught fire during the exchange of fire and was gutted. Dead body of a militant, later identified as Abdullah Ubaid, a Pakistani national owing allegiance with LeT, was recovered from the debris of the house. Some arms and ammunition were also recovered from his possession. However, the other militant, identified as Abeedullah, also a suspected Pakistani, had reportedly managed his escape, apparently last night under the cover of darkness. Earlier in the day, when the Security Forces resumed the operation to flush out the militants, groups of protester took to streets and indulged in stone-pelting on Police and Paramilitary Forces at several places to divert their attention. "Miscreants early morning surfaced in Chan Khan, main town and Bus Stand areas of Sopore, and resorted to stone pelting on Police and security forces deployments," the spokesman said.

PTI reports that the Union Government on December 8 said that militant groups, especially those based abroad, were trying to revive militancy in Punjab. “Available reports suggest that militant groups, especially those based abroad, continue to persist with their efforts to revive militancy in Punjab," Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Maken said in a written reply. The Minister, however, added that there were no specific inputs indicating the development of any nexus between Khalistani outfits like Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) or Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) and militant Islamist organisations like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

Times of India reported on December 18 that during a meeting between Richard Boucher, US assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia, and then Union foreign secretary Shivshankar Menon, on January 8, 2009, the latter alleged that the Pakistani Army was hand-in-glove with the militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). This fact came to light from a secret cable sent by US ambassador in Delhi Timothy Roemer to Washington which was leaked by the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks. Menon highlighted that the Pakistan Army paid wages to LeT and sustained the organization, and until these ties were severed, India would continue to regard the Pakistani security services as complicit in the Mumbai terrorist attacks ( November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11).

The DIG said Showkat Ahmad Dar alias Adnan, a resident of Bijbehara, who was the head of a five-member module, was first arrested at Khanabal in Anantnag earlier this month. Four more identified as Fayaz Ahmad Talak, Javaid Ahmad Salafi, Fayaz Ahmad Dar and Abass Sheikh, all part of the module, were later arrested, he added. Showkat's interrogation revealed the module was instigating the youths to resort to stone-throwing in the Valley, the DIG said. Showkat was a close associate of LeT ‘commander’ Firdaus Ahmad Peer alias Gowhar and HM ‘commander’ Javiad Ahmad Sheikh and held meetings with them in Anantnag, Watali said. The modus operandi of the module was to distribute video clips, literature and posters to motivate youths to indulge in stone-pelting, he said, adding, "At a meeting attended by Peer on the outskirts of Anantnag, Talak was given the responsibility of printing and distributing provocative posters among the youths. Abass Sheikh was given the responsibility to intensify the protest in parts of Kulgam District while Dar was assigned the task of stone-pelting and protest on Khanabal-Pahalgam road," the DIG said.

A manhunt was under way in Mumbai on December 24 for four alleged cadres of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit that attacked the city in 2008 (November 26), amid warnings of a strike on foreign targets over Christmas and New Year, reports Daily Times. Roads were closed in and around the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, the focus of the militant siege two years ago that killed 166 people, while armed Police were out in force at high-profile sites, including overseas consulates. Mumbai Police warned that four operatives of the LeT were preparing a "violent attack" during the festive season and called for residents to be vigilant. "The four recently sneaked into the city to carry out extremely dangerous activity," joint Police commissioner Himanshu Roy said, adding, "It is going to be a violent attack." Roy had no information about the nationalities of the four men but they were identified as Abdul Karim Musa, Noor Abdul Elahi, Walid Jinnah and Mehfooz Alam. "If they have issued an alert of this level it will be credible," homeland security specialist Ajai Sahni, the executive director of the Institute of Conflict Management in New Delhi, said, adding, "Alerts are issued fairly frequently. They might not have names attached to them as clearly. There seems to be more specific information than there usually is."

In a fresh proposal, India conveyed to Pakistan that it wants to send a Commission to Islamabad to question seven Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, including Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarrar Shah and Abu Al Qama, in connection with the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks (also known as 26/11), PTI reported on December 24. In a communication, New Delhi told Islamabad that it wanted to send a Commission to get voice samples of the masterminds who were present in the control room directing the 26/11 attackers. New Delhi's move is being seen as a response to Islambad's insistence on sending a Pakistani commission to interview chief metropolitan magistrate R V Sawant Waghule, who recorded Ajmal Kasab's (lone surviving Pakistani LeT terrorist involved in the 26/11 attacks) statement, and Mumbai Police inspector Ramesh Mahale, who is the investigating officer in the case.

A Rajouri based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’ has turned out to be a mastermind of engineering stone pelting in Kashmir in 2010 summer and was reportedly preparing another brigade of youth in different parts of the Valley to create trouble in June 2011, reports Daily Excelsior. Sajjad Ahmed Khan alias Shamas, a resident of Firdousabad in the Batmaloo area of Srinagar District, operating in Thanna Mandi area of Rajouri District, engineered stone pelting in several parts of Srinagar especially Batmaloo by mobilizing youth to join the brigade of stone pelters after making them handsome payments through hawala (illegal money transfer) operators of Rajouri District. Interception of the mobile telephone number of Shamas—8803638050—exposed his activities and links with the militants in the Valley, leading to formidable evidence with Police about the connivance of militant-stone pelters. The interception of mobile telephone number of Shamas led to arrest of a number of militants and stone pelters, with whom he spoke on their mobile numbers issuing them directions for subjecting paramilitary and Police personnel to stone pelting. Sources said several other militants and stone pelters were also identified and some of them arrested after being called by Shamas from his Thanna Mandi hideout. Shamas was reported to have sent a series of consignments of hawala money for the militants and stone pelters from Rajouri through Over Ground Workers of the LeT outfit.
