According to investigators of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) had plans to set up an operational base in a rented accommodation in the posh Colaba area in south Mumbai in early 2008 to coordinate the 26/11 terror plan, Times of India reported on March 1. The plan could not materialize because of some reasons, and finally the base was set up in Room Number 14 at Batatawala Chawl in Nagpada, also in south Mumbai.

According to the chargesheet filed by the Mumbai Police on February 25, maps of target locations of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks were handed over to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commanders in Nepal, reports The Hindu on March 3. Nepal was chosen for exchanging the maps because it was a rendezvous point for the LeT, said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria, adding, with no visa restrictions on the entry of Indians into Nepal, it was a convenient transit venue for the outfit’s activities. The role of two Indian nationals, Fahim Ansari and Mohammad Sabahuddin, is the only instance of local involvement in the case as per the chargesheet. Nine maps were prepared by Ansari, which were handed over to Sabahuddin in Kathmandu in Nepal some time in January 2008. The latter in turn passed them on to LeT operatives, identified as Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Abu Kaahfa. The chargesheet states: “Both the arrested accused, viz. Fahim Mohammed Yusuf Ansari and Sabahuddin, were in constant touch with each other through e-mail messenger. Sabahuddin is termed as a very important functionary of the LeT in India.”

According to the Rediff Website, a team of the Research and Analysis Wing (R and AW) tracked down an absconding accused in the Bangalore serial blasts case in Muscat, and sneaked him out of Oman, since India doesn't have an extradition treaty with that country. Sarfaraz Nawaz, 32, who allegedly played a major role in financing the Bangalore blasts, had reportedly sought refuge in Muscat. Investigating officials told Rediff that an R and AW team managed to track down Nawaz in Muscat. They added that Nawaz was 'smuggled into' Bangalore on a chartered aircraft and the Bangalore Police are currently questioning him. Abdul Sattar, the prime accused in the case, had revealed Nawaz's role in the serial blasts during his interrogation. Nawaz was reportedly close to Riyaz Bhatkal, a key Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, who later took over the charge of the Indian Mujahideen.

Investigations into the November 26 Mumbai terrorist attacks have revealed that Mazhar Iqbal, a resident of Mandi tehsil (revenue division) of Punjab province in Pakistan, was code-named as Abu Al Qama by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), official sources said on March 4, according to Times of India. The central security agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) carried out detailed interrogation of LeT terrorists arrested worldwide to know the identity of Abu Al Qama. The other LeT terrorist identified by the security agencies was Zarar Shah whose actual name is Abdul Wajid, a resident of Sheikhpura District of Punjab province in Pakistan, the sources said. About the role of the two terrorists in Mumbai attack, sources said that Iqbal alias Abu Al Qama alias Amjad had been responsible for training the terrorists who carried out the strikes in Mumbai. Iqbal, who reportedly is in-charge of LeT operations in India except Jammu and Kashmir, is wanted in other cases including the Red Fort encounter, attack on Akshardham temple in Gujarat and serial bombings on the eve of Diwali festival in 2005 in national capital Delhi.

The former US National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia, Paul R. Pillar, said there is an undeniable link between the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Pakistan Government, which saw it as a useful tool to keep insurgency brewing in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Express reported. "Lashkar-e-Toiba, or LeT, is an Islamist Pakistani group that has gotten, certainly in the past and there's a question about how much it still has in the present cooperation and sponsorship from elements of the Pakistani Government itself", Pillar said. "The Government saw it as a useful tool, particularly with regard to confronting the Indians in Kashmir and keeping an insurgency in Kashmir brewing", he added. "The official sponsorship is no longer there. The remaining question is to what degree there may be individuals or elements, particularly in the Pakistani military, that may have some continued relationship with the group," Pillar added.

On March 6, the Kolkata Police arrested a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) explosives expert, identified as Abu Taher alias Mohammad Zakaria, at Sealdah railway station when he was stepping out of Lalgola Passenger train, reports Telegraph. Taher confessed that he had fled to Rajshahi in Bangladesh in 1997 after carrying out low-intensity blasts in Delhi, Ludhiana in Punjab and Rohtak in Haryana. Taher is reportedly close to the LeT’s Bangladesh chief, Abdul Karim Tunda, who had sent him to LeT headquarter in Muridke near Lahore in Pakistan to be trained in handling explosives. Officers said the suspect had entered Murshidabad in West Bengal from Bangladesh in earlier this week. He was apparently booked on a north India-bound train, raising suspicion of a secret mission.

Hindustan Times reports that an important Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader, Sarfaraz Navaz, who reportedly funded the Bangalore serial bomb blasts on July 25, 2008, confessed during his interrogation that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) was behind the July 25, 2008 Bangalore bomb blasts. Sarfaraz, who hails from Ernakulam in Kerala, was earlier arrested by the Research and Analysis Wing (R and AW) from Muscat in Oman on March 3. He was sent to Police custody till March 14. According to Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari, Sarfaraz collected about INR 320000 from like-minded people ahead of the bomb blasts. He also took part in reconnaissance of various spots and attempted to send a suspected terrorist involved in the blast across the border to train with the LeT in Pakistan. “Sarfaraz has links with LeT and has been in touch with Wali a.k.a. Rehan, a key member of LeT. We are sure that some more men will be picked up based on information provided by him,” the Commissioner said. Sarfaraz reportedly completed a three-year course (1995-98) at Nadwat-ul-Ulema (Institute of Islamic Scholarship) in Lucknow and joined as office secretary at the SIMI head office in New Delhi in 2000. Subsequently, he kept in touch with SIMI leaders from Kerala as he traveled to Muscat and Oman for work.

Times of India quoting Special Task Force (STF) sources reported on March 8 that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has opened a new wing to create unrest in India’s Northeast and the Districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. This was discerned after interrogation of a LeT militant, identified as Abu Taher, who was arrested from the Sealdah station in Kolkata, capital of West Bengal, on March 6, a senior STF officer said. "The Lashkar-e-Toiba had opened a new wing named Tanzeen-e-Mohammedi, especially to create unrest in Northeast and the Districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. Abu Taher was specially deputed by the LeT to develop a strong organisation for the purpose," the officer said. "Taher got the funding from Abdul Karim Tunda, the Pakistan based LeT operative who came to Kolkata to recruit people for his organisation," he added. Speaking on the antecedents of Taher, the officer said he was not only involved in the November 26 Mumbai terrorist attacks, but also had links with several serial bomb blasts across the country in 2008. According to STF sources, Tunda paid INR 50,000 to Taher for his job apart from funding for the organisational purpose. Taher had reportedly recruited nearly 30 persons from the Bangladesh bordering Districts of North 24-Parganas, Coochbehar, Malda, North and South Dinajpur, Murshidabad and Nadia, the STF source said. "We have definite proof that he was not only involved in the blast in Guwahati, but also had a plan to conduct a series of blasts in the North-Eastern states," the source added. Two passports, including one of Bangladesh and one of Pakistan, were recovered from Taher.

Quoting intelligence sources, Times of India has reported that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is planning to infiltrate its trained cadres through the fenced borders in Rajasthan and Punjab to carry out subversion during the general elections scheduled to be held in April and May 2009. An unnamed Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) official said, "The LeT, which lost 17 of its cadre in an encounter with Army in Hafruda forest area of Kupwara District in J&K in the past few days, may try to push in its men through the fenced border — the way it did in Kanachak in Jammu sector last year. Their plan is to send small batch of jihadis for quick action in Rajasthan and Punjab, instead of focusing only on the Kashmir Valley."
