One of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)'s most important leaders who was indicted by the United Sates (US) Treasury Department for the July 2006 Mumbai train bombings, Arif Qasmani, is trying to acquire biological weapons and anthrax through his al-Qaida links, Times of India reported on May 11. The interrogation report of a Pakistani businessman and Guantánamo Bay detainee, Saifullah Paracha, has revealed that LeT was in touch with a US-based "al-Qaida anthrax operative'' as it tried to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Qasmani is among the four persons whose assets had been frozen by the US for their alleged involvement in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts. The US notification, in fact, had said that Qasmani also facilitated the Samjhauta blast in 2007. Paracha, a businessman from Sargodha, revealed to the US authorities in 2008 that LeT's Qasmani might have been discussing ways to acquire biological weapons and anthrax with a US based pharmacist, Nazmut Tariq, identified also as an al-Qaida operative.

One of the seven suspects, Jamil Ahmed, arrested by Pakistan authorities for the alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks (also known as 26/11) was detained on the basis of information provided by Saudi Arabia, according to a secret United States (US) cable released by WikiLeaks, reports Indian Express on May 20. The cable dated August 7, 2009 sent by then Charge d'Affaires Gerald Feierstein said Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested Jamil Ahmed after the Saudi Arabian Government "passed information they had from an Interpol lead". Ahmed "allegedly sent money from Saudi Arabia to another arrested suspect, Shahid Jamil Riaz, just prior to the attacks", revealed the cable. "Ahmed was arrested from his home in Battgram District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province," the cable said. Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi is among the seven persons currently on trial for allegedly planning, financing and facilitating the 26/11 attacks.

David Coleman Headley, one of the main conspirator of 2008 Mumbai attacks, testified on May 23 that Pakistani militant groups that got assistance from the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports Dawn. The trial of businessman Tahawwur Rana is being closely watched worldwide, for what testimony might reveal about suspected links between the Pakistani militant group blamed in the rampage on India’s city Mumbai in 2008; and Pakistan’s main intelligence agency, which has been under increased scrutiny since Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 2 outside Islamabad. Rana is accused of providing cover for Headley by allowing him to use his Chicago-based immigration services business as a cover when he travelled to India. Headley, Rana’s long-time friend from boarding school, told jurors on Monday that he received weapons and leadership training with the militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) since 2000 and it was his understanding that LeT and ISI coordinated with each other in general. He did not immediately give any specifics.

Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley who scouted targets for the attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) testified on May 25 about conversations he had with a Chicago based Pakistan born businessman Tahawwur Rana accused of helping the attackers and providing support to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and a retired Pakistan military officer Abdur Rehman, known as ‘Pasha’, reports Express Tribune. Headley said that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate and elements in Pakistan’s military coordinated with Lashkar and other Pakistan militants. Headley told the US District Court jury about secretly recorded telephone conversations he had with Rana and Pasha.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) detectives disregarded multiple warnings that the Pakistani-American David Headley was working with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) — two of which came from his own wives, The Hindu reported on May 30. The FBI, intelligence sources said, instead chose to believe Headley's claims that he had only made contact with the jihadist (Holy warrior) group to further his work as a counter-narcotics informant. FBI officials, the sources said, were long aware of Headley's links with jihadists in Pakistan's north-west, and even interviewed him for information in the weeks after 9/11. But they believed Headley was working for the United States' Drug Enforcement Agency, which he developed a relationship with, after being arrested in 1988 for smuggling heroin from Pakistan. In 1997 Headley was arrested by the DEA again, and this time secured his freedom by becoming a key informant. In a 1998 letter, prosecutors said he “helped the DEA infiltrate the very close-knit Pakistani narcotics dealing community in New York.”

Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had attended the funeral of Mumbai attacks accused David Headley's father in 2010, Times of India reported on May 29. This was disclosed by 50-year-old Headley at a Chicago court during the trial of co-accused Tahawwur Rana (50) in the 26/11 attacks case. He told jury during the course of questioning on May 26 that Prime Minister Gilani attended the funeral of his father Syed Saleem Gilani and also offered condolences to the bereaved family. Saleem Gilani, who died in December 2010, was a well-known poet, author and musicologist. He was former Director General of Radio Pakistan and worked for the Pakistani Embassy in Washington DC. Headley's half-brother Danyal Gilani works as a public relations officer at Prime Minister Gilani's office.

Quoting sources in the Indian Government, The Hindu reported that US authorities did not intend to press Pakistan for the extradition of suspects sought by federal prosecutors for their role in the November 26, 2008, terrorist attacks on Mumbai ( also known as 26/11), lest it should lead to a further breakdown of its increasingly fraught relationship with Pakistan. Even though Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State, demanded greater counter-terrorism action against al Qaeda during her just-concluded visit to Pakistan, the sources said she did not push for action against several Pakistani nationals indicted by a federal grand jury for their role in the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) attack, which left 164 persons, including six Americans dead. “The United States has been putting intense diplomatic pressure on Pakistan to do more on Mumbai, but seems to think any public action will undermine its priority, which is action against jihadist groups focussed on the West, like al-Qaeda,” an Indian Intelligence official observed.

The Federal Government on May 30 refused to defend Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed in a United States (US) court which summoned him, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief and some other Pakistan officials on a lawsuit filed by relatives of Americans killed in the 2008 Mumbai attacks (also known as 26/11), reports Daily Times. The refusal was made in a reply submitted by the Foreign Affairs Ministry to the Lahore High Court (LHC) on a petition of Saeed, who had sought legal assistance from the Government. The reply said that the Government was defending the State institution, ISI, before the US court and that Saeed and his organisation were not a part of it. American national Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and Rivka had been killed in 2008 Mumbai attacks. The couple’s son, Moshe, and others had filed nine claims against Hafiz Saeed being the patron of the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Azam Cheema, Sajid Majid as well as the ISI, its former Director General Nadeem Taj and ISI chief Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha.

A diplomatic cable sent under the name of United States (US) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton states that despite public disavowals, “some officials of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate continue to maintain ties with a wide array of extremist organizations,” in particular the Taliban and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), reported The Hindu. The cable, dated December 30, 2009 was sent to five US Embassies, including that of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. It says these organisations exploit Pakistan's network of charities, non-governmental organisations and madrasas (religious seminaries), which provide them with “recruits, funding and infrastructure to plan new attacks.” Clinton accuses Pakistan of seeking to block the listing of Pakistan based terrorists as well as “affiliated” terrorists nominated for blocking by India under the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1267. Further, the cable also focussed on the check of illegal finance flows into Pakistan and Afghanistan from some Gulf countries, which was also marked to American Embassies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It states that “donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide.” The country is described as a “critical financial support base for al Qaeda, the Taliban, LeT, and other terrorist outfits, including Hamas, which probably raises millions of dollars annually from Saudi sources, often during Hajj and Ramadan.”

Pakistan is home to a large number of militant outfits and can be broadly divided into five groups, one of which specifically targets India and Kashmir that gets the maximum support from the establishment, reported Indian Express, quoting a United States (US) Congressional report on May31. India and Kashmir-oriented militants, especially the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Harakat ul-Mujahideen (HuM), are based in both the Punjab province and in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The report said that the Islamist militant groups operating in and from Pakistan territory are of five broad types, namely, globally oriented militants, Afghanistan-oriented militants, India- and Kashmir-oriented militants, sectarian militants, and domestically oriented militants. Globally oriented militants are al Qaeda and its Uzbek affiliates primarily operate out of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the megacity of Karachi, claimed the report. The Afghanistan-oriented militants, included the 'Quetta shura' of Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, believed to operate from the Balochistan provincial capital of Quetta, as well as Karachi, added the report.

The leadership of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Agency was not involved in planning the 2008 Mumbai attacks (also known as 26/11), self-confessed plotter David Coleman Headley testified on May 31, reports Dawn. Headley, who pleaded guilty to 12 terror charges arising out of the attacks on India’s financial capital and other unrealised plots, testified that no more than a handful of ISI agents were involved in the Mumbai plot. This revelation stood contrary to Headley’s previous testimonies that claimed the ISI worked closely with the banned militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and detailed his relationship with an ISI handler identified as Major Iqbal. However, Headley’s testimony on May 31 supports Pakistan’s assertion that the ISI’s involvement was limited to a handful of rogue agents.
