Times of India reports that a team of Indian investigators has arrived in Chicago, USA and is preparing to interrogate Headley in connection with the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks. Three days after the team arrived in the US to question Headley, there was no confirmation from US authorities as to when and what kind of access would be granted to the team. An FBI Chicago spokesperson said that the federal agency would not comment or provide any information on the Headley interrogation. US Attorney's office spokesperson in Chicago Randall Samborn said he "does not have any comment on anything related to David Headley whatsoever". The 49-year old Pakistani-American has been held at the downtown Metropolitan Correctional Center. Headley had pleaded guilty to conspiring in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks but struck a deal with US authorities in a plea bargain that saved him from the death penalty and extradition to India. The plea agreement had however said Headley would cooperate with foreign authorities and can be interviewed by them only on US soil.

Security Forces foiled another infiltration attempt by the militants on the International Border (IB) in Hiranagar sector in early hours of June 4, reports Daily Excelsior. The report said that an unusual presence of some dreaded militants, who appeared to be top commanders of different outfits, has been observed around launching pads in Pakistan side for past few days. The top commanders, supporting long beards and hairs, have been seen moving around launching pads of the militants opposite the IB for past few days, Intelligence sources said, adding they could be part of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) deputed by its top brass or Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to search for the routes to infiltrate the militants, who have been held up along the border for past several months, unable to breach fencing and tight security cordon of the Border Security Force (BSF). ‘‘For the last few days, movement of new militants is being observed at launching pads erected by Pakistan Army, Rangers and ISI close to their posts on the IB on Pakistan side. Two to three such ultras have been seen at every launching pad'', sources said, adding they appeared to be the part of Pakistan's new strategy to force infiltration of held-up militants. Reports have suggested presence of more than 1000 militants opposite IB and Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region for last several months. These militants, mostly belonging to LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfits, were desperately trying to sneak into Indian territory but have been finding the going

The Union Government declared the Indian Mujahideen (IM), suspected to be a shadow outfit of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), a terrorist outfit, reports The Hindu. The IM is reportedly involved in the serial bomb blasts in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore and Mumbai. It has been added to the list of terrorist groups under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. “An order has been issued adding the Indian Mujahideen and all its formations and front organisations to the list of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967,” the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on June 4. Under the Act, the Government has banned 34 groups and declared them terror outfits. The IM came to light after the February 23, 2005 blast in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). Its hand was suspected in the incident. In 2008, it was reportedly involved in many terrorist attacks. Intelligence agencies believe that the outfit is also a front group of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI).

The wireless intercepts between militants in Jammu and Kashmir and their Pakistani handlers reveal that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Abdullah Ooni is making desperate attempts to run away from the valley as Indian SFs turn the heat on cross-border militants, reports IANS. Ooni, who masterminds the joint operations of the terror syndicate of the LeT, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), has been pleading with his handlers across the border to allow him to return to PoK as he finds the going too hot for him, the officials say, citing wireless intercepts. 'We have intercepted their messages where they are desperately pleading to their handlers that they want to return safely. Ooni is desperately trying to run away,' an intelligence official, privy to the communication intercepts, told IANS. The official could not be identified as he is not supposed to speak to the media.

Pakistani born American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Headley has confirmed that LeT terrorists carried out the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai attack under the "guidance" of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports Times of India. Headley, who is being interrogated in the US by a team of Nation Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, has said that the notorious ISI was engaged with the LeT commanders responsible for the 26/11 carnage at "each and every stage of the plot". The account of the terrorist, who receed targets for LeT terrorists across the country, corroborates India's stand about the involvement of Pakistani State actors in terrorism, trains the spotlight on LeT-ISI tandem, and explains Pakistan's unwillingness to clamp down on the LeT leadership. Headley has mentioned serving officers of Pakistan Army — Major Sameer Ali, Major Iqbal and Major Haroon — as those who collaborated with the LeT terrorists. Major Sameer and Major Iqbal figured in the dossier India gave to Pakistani foreign secretary Salman Bashir. However, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram is to demand voice samples of seven LeT commanders including Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu Al Qama and others when he meets his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik during his visit to Islamabad for the conference of Home Ministers from South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region. Pakistan has so far refused to give voice samples which could help investigators ascertain the identity of those who instructed the 26/11 attackers as they went about their deadly assignment. Headley has also revealed how post-26/11, ISI wanted LeT to disown the Mumbai attack to turn the global attention away from the terror outfit that Pakistan considers to be an important strategic asset to be used against India. With Mohammad Ajmal ‘Kasab’ snared, and investigations by India and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) homing in its nexus with LeT, ISI planned to blame the carnage on al-Qaeda. It even prepared a list of 4-5 al-Qaeda figures who were to be projected as the conspirators. Headley also admitted that while he had started off as a LeT recruit, he started drifting towards al Qaeda under the influence of Major Abdul Rahman Saeed. Saeed, who served with 6 Baloch Regiment of Pakistan Army, took voluntary retirement in 2002 to devote himself full time to al Qaeda's cause. Headley, who respected Saeed for his "sacrifice", went high in the retired Major's esteem because of precise inputs he provided for the 26/11 attack.

A dirty war of supremacy has broken out between militant outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in Jammu and Kashmir, according to Daily Excelsior. In the past month or so, three top ‘commanders’ from LeT and HM have been killed in clashes between the two groups in Doda, Reasi and north Kashmir. The latest casualty is the LeT militant Manzoor alias Zuber, who was killed by HM militant Irfan Mushtaq. His dead body was found by the Security Forces on June 11. “A failure to get fresh recruits, drying up of funds and elimination of over 40 terrorists by Security Forces within four months has created a vacuum in the top leadership. This has triggered a fierce rivalry between the LeT and Hizbul, both of whom want to lose control of areas from where they get extortion money,” said Lieutenant Colonel Biplab Nath, defence spokesman at Jammu. Manzoor’s killing comes days after Chota Bashir was killed by his junior, Lateef, at Dessa village in Doda. The assassin was later arrested by Police, but sources said he had surrendered after killing his ‘commander’. “The desire to obtain a larger share of the money routed through hawala channels might be a motive behind the killing. Besides, there was an attempt to show who is mightier,” added Nath. Not only is friction growing between the two outfits, there is simmering tension between foreign and local militants. The Army says Basharat Saleem alias Shaheen, top militant ‘commander’ of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) had been killed by foreign militants. “He [Basharat] was killed allegedly because foreigners suspected him of having been in touch with Security Forces. He wasn’t in touch with the forces, but was killed on mere suspicion,” said Major General N George, General Officer Commanding Kilo (counter insurgency) Force.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant was killed in an overnight encounter with the Security Forces (SFs) in the Sopore area of Baramulla District on June 15, reports Daily Excelsior. The SFs launched an operation in the Zaloora village of Sopore area in the evening of June 14 following information about presence of militants in the area, official sources said. They said as the troops were closing in on the hideout of the militants, they opened indiscriminate firing on them. The firing was retaliated by the SFs, triggering off an exchange of firing. One Army trooper sustained injuries in the gun battle (June 14 evening) evening and the operation was suspended overnight. The operation resumed in the morning of June 15 and ended with the killing of lone militant hiding in the area, the sources said, adding identity of the slain militant was being ascertained.

Only about 500 insurgents, about 40 percent of them foreign militants, are still active in Jammu and Kashmir, said Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda, reports IANS. "There are about 500 militants presently active in Jammu and Kashmir and their number has come down from 700-800 last year and around 1,000 in 2008," Khoda said. The DGP said 40 percent of these militants were foreigners, mostly from Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PoK). He said the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) - the terror outfits that have bases in Pakistan - were active in the State. "The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen is more in a supportive role to the LeT but it depends on the plans conceived across (the border)," he said. Khoda said the overall security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir was improving and there was a drop in violence in the last three years. "There was a 20 percent drop in violence in 2007 which improved to 28 percent in 2008 and 30 percent in 2009," he said. The last year [2009], Khoda added, also saw the lowest number of civilian deaths in militancy-related incidents. However, he maintained that there was no let-up in incursion attempts by militants from across the border with security forces. "Infiltration is going on though not to the extent as it was last year. Going by the (infiltration) bids made, there is no change in attitude of handlers across the border who want to push in infiltrators," he said. According to Khoda, Security Forces (SFs) had been able to curb militant incursion mainly due to better border management. Khoda said Pakistan continued to support militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir. "Terrorists are coming or attempts are being made to infiltrate and they are getting training, equipment, funding... Militants trying to cross over do not face obstructions from Pakistani security forces but were, instead, provided covering fire. All this points to the direct role (of the Pakistan establishment)," he said. According to official data, a little less than 500 terror incidents were reported in 2009 in which 239 militants, 71 civilians and 79 SF personnel were killed. In 2008, 339 militants, 91 civilians and 85 SF were killed in 708 militancy incidents.

Several Afghanistan and international intelligence officials and diplomats stationed in Kabul have confirmed that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), with the help of the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), has expanded its anti-India operations into Afghanistan and set up training camps, adding new volatility to the relationship between New Delhi and Islamabad, quoting The New York Times, reports ANI. The LeT is believed to have planned or executed three major attacks against Indian Government employees and private workers in Afghanistan in recent months, officials said. Pakistan maintains that it no longer supports or assists the LeT, responsible for the ghastly November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, but its expanded activities in Afghanistan, particularly against Indian targets, prompt suspicions that it has become one of Pakistan's proxies to counteract India's influence in the war ravaged country, The New York Times reports. "Our concern is that there are still players involved that are trying to use Afghanistan's ground as a place for a proxy war," said Shaida Abdali, Afghanistan's deputy National Security Adviser. "It is being carried out by certain State actors to fight their opponents," Abdali added. Experts are of the view that now the LeT presents more of a threat in Afghanistan than even al Qaeda does. There were a few LeT cells in Afghanistan three or four years ago, but they were not focused on Indian targets and, until recently, their presence seemed to be diminishing, the report said. Pakistani analysts, in a recent testimony to the US Congress, described the LeT as a terror group 'having ambitions well beyond India.' "They are active now in six or eight provinces. They are currently most interested in Indian targets here, but they can readily trade attacks on international targets for money or influence or an alliance with other groups," a senior NATO intelligence official, who spoke on conditions of anonymity said. Afghan Interior Minister Hanif Atmar, who recently resigned following an altercation with President Hamid Karzai, also confirmed that the attackers, who targeted Indians during the deadly car bombing and suicide attack on two guesthouses in the heart of Kabul in February 26, 2010 were "not Afghans." "They were not Afghans," Atmar said. "What we know for sure is that it was planned, financed, organized, and that people trained for it, outside Afghanistan," he added. "Over the past six months more than four attacks in Kabul had suicide bombers with telephones that we recovered with active numbers that were from Pakistan," Atmar informed.

A batch of youngsters from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala are presently undergoing militant training in Kacharban in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant has told his interrogators in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Express Buzz. The HM militant Muhammed Ashraf of Budgam in Jammu and Kashmir was arrested by troops of 40 Rashtriya Rifles when he was trying to enter the Indian Territory from Nallah Ban post in Mandi subsector in Poonch District in May 2010. According to officials, who interrogated Ashraf over the last several days, told Express Buzz over phone from Jammu and Kashmir that about 24 youth belonging to the southern States were lodged in a few quarters in PoK and were receiving militant training. ``Those from Dakkan have been lodged separately at Kacharban where the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] has its training camp. The youngsters from JK [Jammu and Kashmir] who are in large numbers are not allowed to meet those from the Dakkan and they are being trained under the supervision of five Lashkar commanders,'' sources, quoting Ashraf, said. However, Ashraf, who has spent several years in various training camps in PoK, did come to know from some of his handlers that most of the youngsters from south India are either having links with the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) or Indian Mujahideen (IM), responsible for bomb blasts across the country. Sources further said that the youth from this part of the country are in the age group of 18 to 28 and most of them reached PoK either through Nepal or Bangladesh. Ashraf also told the interrogators that the youth are presently being trained in handling of sophisticated weapons and bomb making. He also revealed that there are 20 more youngsters from Gujarat and Maharashtra. However, as per the Police records available with the Hyderabad city Police, there are 22 men who are missing and the Police suspect that they have joined militant ranks.

In the 11th dossier handed over to Pakistan since the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) terrorist attacks, India, on June 18 has provided details on the 34 terrorists, including fugitives who have been recruited by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) combine to launch terror attacks as part of the Karachi Project, in the form suggested by Pakistan, reports Times of India. India gave Pakistan the full copy of the Mumbai trial, a copy of the verdict, the charge sheets, evidence presented and used, and confessional statements. Pakistan had asked India for all of these in its last dossier. The LeT chief Hafiz Saeed evidence, Indian officials feel, is crucial. Although nobody was willing to confirm it, it's believed the Indians have got this from the LeT operative David Headley interrogations. "The deputy high commissioner of Pakistan was called in the afternoon and handed over a set of responses to the six dossiers received from Pakistan on April 25, 2010 on the Mumbai terror attacks," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vishnu Prakash said.

Police on June 20 arrested a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant who is the main accused in the 2000 blast in a bus near Agra (Uttar Pradesh) that killed two passengers and injured 15 others, reports Hindustan Times. Yusuf Mohammed was arrested from Nuh village in Mewat District of Haryana and brought to Agra in Uttar Pradesh later in the day in connection with the blast at Peeli Pokhar near Khandauli, around 20 kilometres from here. "Yusuf Mohammed had been to Pakistan five to six times for training and is an active member of the Lashkar-e-Toiba," Deputy Inspector General of Police Deepesh Juneja told reporters, adding that some fake passports had also been recovered from him. He also said that Yusuf had several relatives in Pakistan and one of them had introduced him to Arif, who is closely connected with the LeT. In March, 2000, Yusuf had planned to carry out a blast at a bus stand near Agra Fort, for which he carried out a rehearsal by planting a bomb in a bus which exploded at Peeli Pokhar. Some believe that it was not a rehearsal. "The bomb for some reason exploded before reaching its target," a Police official said.

The rising number of Pakistan linked terrorist plots in the United States largely stem from Islamabad's (Pakistan) continued support to some anti-India extremist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), blamed for the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, indicates the report released on June 21 by the RAND Corp, Hindustan Times reported. "The country's acquisition of nuclear weapons emboldened its support to militant groups by dampening concerns of retaliation by India," the report mentioned. Seth G. Jones, the study's co-author and a political scientist at RAND said, "A number of militant networks-including al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad [JeM]-remain entrenched in Pakistan and pose a grave threat to the state and the region." In addition to al Qaeda, numerous foreign and domestic militant groups have established networks in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) currently known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other areas of Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad, the suspect in the attempted Times Square car bombing, reportedly had ties to several groups, such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Haqqani network, the study notes. Researchers suggest the United States should restrict some military assistance to Pakistan until the nation ends its support of militant groups operating on its soil. Further, Jones and co-author Christine Fair of Georgetown University say that Pakistan's Army and the Frontier Corps have failed to demonstrate a consistent ability to clear and hold territory for long periods. While Pakistan has undertaken a number of operations against insurgent groups since 2001, the study finds the successes are short-lived and do not address the long-term threat. The Pakistan Army and the Frontier Corps forces have had some recent successes, however. This includes efforts during Operation Sher Dil (Lion’s Heart) in 2008 (Bajaur region), Operation Rah-e-Rast (Path to Truth) in 2009 (Swat region) and Operation Rah-e-Nijat (Path to Salvation) in 2009 and 2010 (South Waziristan region), the report finds. "Yet even with this success, Pakistan's efforts are thwarted by its decision to support some militant groups. In recent months, there appear to be changes in Pakistan's policy as evidenced in the capture of senior Taliban leaders such as Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. But it remains unclear whether Pakistani leaders have made a systematic break with militant groups, the report finds.

The operation launched by the Security Forces (SFs) at Baghat in Sopore town of Baramulla District ended on June 22 with the recovery of the dead body of a top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’, Abu Zubair, from debris of the house where he was hiding, reported Daily Excelsior. An AK rifle, two magazines, one pistol, five live pistol rounds and a mobile phone were also recovered from the debris of the house, official sources said. Zubair, a resident of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), was ‘deputy divisional commander’ of the LeT in North Kashmir and was involved in planning and execution of several attacks on SFs and civilians in the area, they said. An unnamed senior Police official said intelligence inputs had put the number of militants in the house at two. "We are hopeful of finding another body also as there is still some part of the debris to be searched," he added. As reported earlier, the operation began on June 21 in which a Policeman was killed and several others sustained injuries.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram met his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik and is understood to have pressed for urgent action against Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) over ground organisation Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) and 26/11 handlers, including those who are believed to be in the Pakistani Army, reports The Hindu. Chidambaram sought voice samples of the Pakistani handlers and raised issues like infiltration on the border of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistanis who have infiltrated and are indulging in militant activities. Speaking to reporters accompanying him in the special aircraft, Chidambaram said he will not say anything that will cast a shadow on the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Home Ministers’ Meeting, which is primary engagement in Islamabad. He said he will tell Pakistan “politely, but firmly” that the time has come to address issues concerning the Mumbai attacks. “I will use the opportunity to bring home to Pakistan gravity of issues and the need for response that is appropriate to the gravity of the situation,” he said. “It has been 18 months since I took over. The time has come to address these issues (regarding Mumbai attacks) with seriousness that they warrant. That is what I am going to tell them politely, but firmly,” Chidambaram said. Meanwhile, Times of India adds that Chidambaram met Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Islamabad. The Union Home Minister in an exclusive interview to Times Now just before his departure for Pakistan said India was unlikely to share leads with Pakistan about terror plots emanating from the neighbouring country. "If we tell them (Pakistan) what we have gathered about what some people are doing in that country, that would completely compromise our intelligence gathering, isn't it?" said Chidambaram.

In a disclosure, November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) accused David Coleman Headley told the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in May 2010 that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are virtually inseparable as far as the pan-Islamic terror agenda is concerned, reports Times of India. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram used the NIA dossier detailing Headley's disclosures to drive home the point that stringent measures are needed against terrorist groups operating with impunity from Pakistani soil. The NIA dossier, which establishes the virtual closing of ranks between LeT and ISI, clearly indicates that both are acting independently of the Government and pose a threat to Pakistan's governance. It took two days of persuasion for Headley to waive his right to silence under US law and detail every meeting he had with his LeT handlers, including Hafiz Saeed and Sajid Mir, and ISI officials in Muzzaffarabad and Lahore before the 26/11 attacks. Sources said that Headley told the NIA team comprising Loknath Behera, Swayamprakash Pani, Sajid Shapoo and special prosecutor Dayan Krishnan that his reconnaissance missions and its results were closely and jointly monitored by LeT and ISI before he received fresh instructions. The 11th dossier, which India handed over to Pakistan on June 18, contained every statement by Headley, who spoke for seven to eight hours every day, continuously for eight days.

Chidambaram is also understood to have handed over the description of people as shared by David Coleman Headley, LeT operative in the US. The Home Minister particularly mentioned seven people against whom no action has been taken by Islamabad despite sufficient evidences being provided at his one-to-one meeting with Interior Minister Rehman Malik. The seven operatives are identified as Sajjid Mir, Abdul Rehman, Pasha, Brigadier Riyaz, Abu Khafa, Al Kama and Abu Hamza. New Delhi is hopeful that Islamabad will take some concrete steps before July 15 when External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna visits Islamabad. This was indicated during the interaction of Pakistani officials with Indian delegation on the sideline of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Home Ministers' Conference in Islamabad.

Times Now quoting fresh warning from intelligence agencies reports that Indian missions in Bangladesh and Nepal are under threat from a possible terror attack from Pakistani terrorist outfits. The alert suggests the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) are planning to attack Indians working on different projects in Bangladesh and could try and create a hostage like situation. A similar threat also looms on the Indian mission in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Indian Government has already spoken to the Sheikh Hasina Government in Bangladesh and is even mulling use of Indian Security Forces to guard foreign missions. After the alert from the agencies, sources said that the threat perception has been communicated to Dhaka already and India has been assured full assistance. Meanwhile the Government is contemplating a security review of missions in Bangladesh and Nepal. Indian forces may be used to man these foreign missions under threat. “We do not deny any potential threat to our missions abroad. In this case, the matter has been taken up with the Bangladeshi Government and has been assured full assistance. The government of India is also thinking of a security review soon in Bangladesh and Nepal to decide whether the missions should be manned by Indian forces in these two locations. Intelligence agencies have communicated that the threat is from LeT and HuJI,” Government sources said.
