Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on November 1 said that the United States has promised to share the outcome of the findings of a "full review" on the American born Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley with India, reports PTI. Chidambaram said the issue of the US not sharing information about Headley was "blown out of proportion" as the US had shared intelligence with India in the months leading to 26/11 as well as after 26/11, though the name of Headley was not mentioned.

Times of India on November 2 reports that the Pakistani American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley revealed to the interrogators of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in June that had the 26/11 attackers landed during the day on Mumbai's coast, the Mumbai Police headquarters at Crawford Market would have also been attacked on the first day of the carnage. However, since 10 Pakistani militants including Ajmal Kasab, the lone arrested attacker, landed ashore in the night of November 26 they moved to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) as per the alternate plan. Headley also told the Indian sleuths that originally, 13 militants, including an Indian national (possibly from Maharashtra) who was considered a good "asset", were trained for the attack, but the LeT commander Sajid Majid later dropped three of them from the mission. During his questioning, Headley also gave details of LeT’s attack on Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore where an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) professor M C Puri was killed on December 28, 2005. He told the NIA team that the entire operation was executed by LeT's ‘commander’ Abu Hamza. Another terrorist Abdul Aziz had supervised this operation in December 2005. He further mentioned that during his training programmes he was shown CDs of atrocities on Indian Muslims including videos of Gujarat riots and hate speeches of right wing Hindu leader Babu Bajrangi.

US President Barack Obama, during his interaction with students at the St. Xavier's College Mumbai, on November 7 expressed the hope that India and Pakistan would be able to live in peace despite their past history, reported Times of India. However, he stressed India's key role in bringing about a stable Pakistan and said a peaceful Pakistan would be in India's interest. Obama also said the progress by Pakistan in fighting terrorism is not quick enough and asserted that the US was working with Islamabad to eradicate extremism which is a "cancer". Noting that there are some elements in Pakistan that are affiliated with Taliban, al Qaeda and the Lashkar-e-Toiba(LeT), he said they are "irreconcilable" and there needs to be a military response to those who perpetrate violence like they did in Mumbai and New York in a "significant, ongoing" way. The US President also regretted the fact that the "great religion" of Islam has been distorted by a few extremists to justify violence towards innocent people and called for isolating of those elements.

PTI reports that Government counsel Ujjwal Nikam told the Bombay High Court on November 19 that Pakistani Lashkar-Toiba (LeT) terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone arrested terrorist in the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), and his companions were instructed by their LeT handlers on telephone to hold as many hostages as possible during the terrorist attacks to demand from the Indian Government the creation of a "separate state for Muslims". To fulfil the demands for a separate State for Muslims in India and liberation of Kashmir, LeT advised the militants on phone to take VIPs as hostages to compel the Government to act on them, Nikam told the court. He said that LeT handlers had also advised the attackers to identify themselves as Indian Muslims belonging to Indian Mujahideen and hide the fact that they had come from Pakistan. Nikam added that these informations were contained in the intercepts of telephonic conversations the handlers in Pakistan had with the terrorists during the 26/11 attacks.

Army and Police on November 25 killed three Pakistani militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) after a three day long operation at Marha in upper reaches of Sailan in Surankote tehsil (revenue unit) of Poonch District, reported Daily Excelsior. Official sources said all three militants were killed after daylong heavy exchange of firing with troops. The militants were being searched since evening of November 23 when first contact with them was established at Marha in which a Special Police Officer (SPO) was injured. However, the militants had managed to escape then. A contact with the militants was established in Sailan forests in the morning of November 25. The militants lobbed grenades and opened firing on the Security Force (SF) personnel, who retaliated.

An arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant on November 26 rejected Pakistan’s claim that it has dismantled the terror infrastructure on its soil after the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), reports Daily Excelsior. "The training camps of LeT and other outfits were still active in Pakistan and its occupied Kashmir, despite a crackdown launched by the authorities there," Mohammad Saleem Rehmani alias Abu Saad, a resident of Nawab Sahib area of Sindh in Pakistan, told reporters. "About 250 to 300 militants were with me during the Daura-e-Khas (advanced course). We were being trained in handling weapons and launching attacks on security forces in Kashmir," the militant, who was part of an eight-member infiltrating column and managed their entry through Lolab sector of Kupwara District, said. Rehmani claimed that the permanent training camps were sealed by Pakistani authorities after 26/11. However, he added that various make shift camps have come up in the forests to facilitate the training of the recruits. He admitted that Pakistani Army was helping the militants to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir. "There are four to five launching pads active in 'Azad Kashmir' where 45 to 50 militants are always ready to infiltrate. When they are given green signal by the Army, they cross over," he said. Expressing his ignorance about involvement of Pakistani Army in training militants, he said, "I have not come across any Army officer during my training at several camps in Pakistan and PoK." Presenting the LeT militant before the media persons, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Shiv Murari Sahai said he was arrested by Police from Panzan area in Budgam District a few days back.

Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, Shiv Murari Sahai on November 26 said that Police has concrete evidence about links between militants and separatists in triggering and planning the recent unrest in Kashmir valley, reported Daily Excelsior. "There is a concrete evidence that the recent agitation was planned," Sahai said, adding, Police have found evidence that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants planned the unrest and were in league with the separatist politicians. "As our investigations are making headway, we find that increasingly there is a very well-planned operation on part of the Lashkar to carry out incidents of stone-pelting and arson," he said. Sahai said Ghulam Mohammad Tantray, the tehsil (revenue unit) president of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) in Sopore town, had stayed with LeT ‘commander’ Furqan and was also maintaining contact through telephone with him. "There are the direct evidences to show how militant organisations and the so-called separatist leaders, who are leading a so-called peaceful agitation are very deeply linked," he added. The IGP said the recent upsurge in militant activity after the decline in the stone-pelting incidents was another link to prove that the unrest was planned. "Stone pelting has subsided and suddenly there is an upsurge in militant activity. There are arrests of Pakistani militants, there have been killings, this cannot be an innocent balance that once the stone pelting increases the militant violence decreases," he said. Sahai also claimed that during the interrogation of a stone-pelter in Sopore it was revealed that militants are hiding in a house in Sopore. "When the house was raided, we make some recoveries which included uniforms with badges of (different) ranks. We conclude that militants were planning to operate in uniform and these are the likely signs of fidayeen (suicide) attacks," he said. He said Police has busted a module of boys, recruited by a LeT operative from Batamaloo locality of Srinagar, who were involved in hurling grenades. Talking about training camps in Pakistan Sahai added, "The militant groups including Lashkar are openly motivating youth to train them for attacks on security forces in Kashmir. The militant has revealed that most of the camps and motivation centres, which were claimed to have been closed by Pakistan government, are still functional." Sahai said the militants were put through three courses before being selected for carrying out suicide attacks. "The first phase is Daura-e-Aam (ordinary training) followed by Daura-e-Khas. The best out of the second stage are selected for Daura-e-Lashkar (Lashkar or Army training) to carry out suicide attacks," he said adding it indicated the kind of training received by Rehmani before being sent here.

Doda Police have initiated a process to attach the property of about 100 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), who were involved in a series of subversive activities in Doda District, including killings, but were presently operating from Pakistan or Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), Daily Excelsior reports. Proceedings to attach property of two ‘commanders’ —one each of LeT and HM — were set into motion on November 30 after Police got proclamation against the militants issued under Section 87 of the Criminal Procedure Code from the court. The militants against whom the process to attach property has been initiated, included Mohammad Amin alias Khubeb son of Dawood Bhat, a resident of (r/o) Kathwa, Thathri, a LeT ‘commander’, who has been operating as 'Launching Officer’ in PoK with the name of Gazi and Abdul Rashid son of Arsala Khandey r/o Khanpura in Thathri, who is reportedly based in a Muzaffarabad camp of HM in PoK. The militants have property in the form of houses, shops, and costlier goods etc. in Thathri and other places in Doda. The cases are being prepared to get proclamation against many other militants issued from the court to attach their property and send a stern message to the militants and their commanders that they could face action in the First Information Reports (FIRs) registered against them despite fleeing to Pakistan or PoK, official sources said. To avoid from getting their property attached, the militants would have to return and surrender. The State Government has already announced a Rehabilitation Policy for the militants under which they could return to the State from PoK.
