India on November 4, said an effective action by Pakistani Government against Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and other terror outfits will have to go far beyond “merely” proscribing their publicity through electronic media, asserting a complete and enforceable ban on them by Pakistan has been long overdue, reports Daily Excelsior. The comments by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Vikas Swarup came in reaction to Pakistan’s decision to ban publicity of LeT, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) through electronic media. “We have seen the media reports that Pakistan’s electronic media regulator has imposed a ban on publicity of LeT, JuD and FIF through electronic media. “The relevant notification and its implications need to be studied. At first sight, it does appear that it is a ban merely on publicity through electronic media,” he said. Acknowledging for the first time that the 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed-led JuD is a wing of LeT, Pakistan Government has asked broadcasters to refrain from covering such terror groups. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has issued a notification banning all TV channels and FM radio from coverage of 72 banned groups including LeT, JuD and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) under UN restriction. “The Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation are the other wings of Lashkar-e-Toiba,” the notification said.

The Sessions Court in Mumbai (Maharashtra) on November 6 reserved its order till November 18, 2015 on Mumbai Police's plea seeking to make Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist David Coleman Headley an accused in the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terror attack case, reports Zee News. The Police had filed the application before the sessions judge GA Sanap on October 8. The court this week framed charges against Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, one of the key conspirators of the Mumbai terror attack. The prosecution today told the sessions court that Headley had not been tried under Indian law for 26/11 conspiracy. "An American court is not competent to try offences under Indian Penal Code. The charges for which Headley has been convicted by the US court and the charges we are pursuing against him are entirely different," said Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. The judge said that the judgement of a foreign court only has "persuasive value" and it cannot be relied upon as evidence. "He should have been made a wanted accused. You are coming with evidence collected by others," he said. Headley, accused of conducting a recce of targets before the Mumbai terror attack, was sentenced to 35 years' imprisonment by a court in the USA after he entered into a plea bargaining agreement with the US government.

India and Britain repeated their call to Pakistan to bring perpetrators of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks to justice, and resolved to work together to disrupt support systems of groups such as Islamic State (IS), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and the Haqqanis, Hindustan Times reports on November 13. In a ‘UK-India Defence and International Security Partnership’ document released as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his three-day visit, the two countries said they supported the early finalisation of a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. “The UK remains a strong advocate of a reformed United Nations and is actively engaged in efforts to reform the UN Security Council. The UK continues to support India’s bid for a permanent seat in an expanded Security Council”, the document said. Focussing on a key element of the UK-India relationship, cyber security the document said the UK’s Chevening Cyber Scholarships programme for India will be expanded and a Cyber Security Training Centre of Excellence established. “They will continue and further strengthen their joint work to increase the effectiveness of their law enforcement legislation and capability, and improve their ability to tackle cross-border cyber crime and online child sexual exploitation”, the document said. The UK will provide advice on the setting up of the new Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, and expert-level links will be developed between practitioners and policy makers in this field.

The Kerala State Intelligence is closely monitoring a suspected larger network in the State working for alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, Thadiyantavide Nazir who is currently in Police custody, reports The Hindu on November 16. The racket has come under the scanner, especially after the arrest of his close aide Shahanas from Kochi in Ernakulam District on November 14. ‘‘There is a group of sympathisers, who are evolving into the form of a network and is facilitating and coordinating Nazir’s activities from inside the prison. Their number may not be statistically significant but most of them are enjoying the support of some mainstream political organisations, known for their affinity towards such fringe radical groups,’’ a top intelligence official said. One of the core areas of focus for this network is to weaken the cases in which Nazir has been named as a key accused, including the Bangalore blast case. ‘‘The network is entrusted to mobilise funds for influencing the witnesses, as suggested in the letters seized from Shahanas. The money is sourced from different activities, many of them are illegal such as gold smuggling,’’ the official said. The network has its strong base in places such as Perumbavur and Muvattupuzha in Ernakulam District, in addition to various other districts in northern parts of the State. Authorities are also looking into the possibility of this network receiving funds from outside Kerala, given the alleged transnational connections of Nazir. Meanwhile, a raid conducted in the house of Shahanas at Pukkattupady yielded several crucial evidences, including the key of a pair of handcuffs, concealed inside a book. ‘‘A probe is on to trace the origin of this key, which is quiet a surprising turn to the whole episode. We are also looking into whether the gang involving Shahanas was planning for an operation to free Nazir from police custody,’’ said an official with Kochi city Police.

General Officer Commanding (GOC), Nagrota based 16 Corps Lt Gen RR Nimbhorkar said on November 19, that global terrorist outfit Islamic State (IS) might join hands with Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to carry out terror attacks in India but added that the troops were on very high alert and committed to thwart nefarious designs of the militant outfits, reports Daily Excelsior. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function in Jammu, Lt Gen Nimbhorkar, whose Corps commands most parts of Jammu region barring three border Districts of Jammu, Samba and Kathua, didn’t rule out the possibility of the IS joining hands with the LeT to carry out terror attack in India saying the terrorists have only one motive—to spread terror and they could join hands to achieve their goal. Responding to a question as to whether the IS, could join hands with the LeT for terror strikes as the IS itself has negligible presence in India, he said, “Yes, that (ISIS joining hands with LeT to launch attacks in India) can be a possibility as the motive of the terrorists is to spread their propaganda. They want their name and for that, they can do anything. And if they get successful, they can take advantage of it by using any name. Yes it is a possibility,” Lt Gen Nimbhorkar said but added that the troops, on their part, were fully alive to the situation and were taking all necessary and adequate steps to ensure that the militants didn’t succeed in their plot. “We are fully alert to the situation and ready to meet with any eventuality,’’ the GOC Nagrota Corps said. “If any organization wants to grow then it is bound to recruit people into its folds,’’ he said in response to another question on radicalization of Kashmiri youth and their attraction towards the ISIS ideology. He said the ISIS is globally known for recruitment through internet. “They (the ISIS) will definitely go for recruitment. It is their job and it is to be seen in how much area they get success. It depends on their propaganda,” he added.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) warned Jharkhand Police against possible links between Islamic State (IS) and sleeper cells of Indian Mujahideen (IM), Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) whose operatives have been arrested from Jharkhand in past, The Times of India reports on November 20. At a press conference in Ranchi on November 20 Police spokesperson and Additional Directorate General (ADG) (operations) S N Pradhan said: "The MHA inputs have been promptly shared with all SPs with instructions to take it with all seriousness. A few districts which have a background of terrorist activities have been instructed to be extra careful about the alert." Police officials believe Jharkhand has high risk of vulnerability to IS designs as its north-eastern border is situated close to Bangladesh. In September 2015 police arrested JMB second-in-command Tariqul Islam alias Sadiq alias Sumon from Ramgarh, a District which neighbours Ranchi. The arrest revealed that JMB was using Jharkhand as its hiding ground as its key man Rejaul Karim was arrested from Sahebganj railway station (close to Bangladesh border) in January (2015). "There are apprehensions IS might collaborate with local units of these terrorist groups in Jharkhand. We have to be alert against it," Pradhan said.

Militant outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM) on November 21 distanced themselves from the Islamic State (IS), saying “they see no scope for the IS and al-Qaeda in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)”, reports The Hindu. “Kashmiri people don’t want aid and support from an external group. They are capable enough to fight against the Indian aggression themselves,” LeT spokesperson Abdullah Ghaznavi said. He described the IS as “production of anti-Islamic Western countries”. “To link our struggle with the IS is mere propaganda unleashed by India,” said the LeT spokesman. General Officer Commanding (GOC), 16 Corps, Lt. General R.R Nimbhorkar on November 19 had expressed apprehensions that “the IS joining hands with the LeT to launch attacks in India can be a possibility as the motive of the terrorists is to spread their propaganda”.

Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), recently held a meeting with terrorist outfits, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Babbar Khalsa and Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), to revive the Khalistan movement in Punjab and execute more Gurdaspur-style terror attacks to destabilise peace in the state, New Indian Express reports on November 22. KZF 'chief', Ranjeet Singh alias Neeta, is said to be working closely with the ISI to carry out terror attacks in Punjab. According to intelligence inputs, Neeta has provided two-month-long language training to LeT’s Fidayeens (suicide bombers) near Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib near Lahore, in Punjab (Pakistan). “The terrorists have been trained by Neeta in the Sikh tradition and Gurumukhi script. They are likely to be disguised as locals following infiltration. Local police departments and state law enforcement agencies have been put on high alert,” intelligence input based on intercepted communication revealed. ISI and terror groups sheltered by the Pakistani state authorities have been systematically trying to revive the militancy in Punjab with the help of Babbar Khalsa and outfits such as the KZF. The Pakistan-based outfits are also getting financial support from sympathisers in Germany and the UK.

Unidentified elements in Pakistan and Afghanistan are major sources of terrorist financing, says a report by the United States (US) Treasury Department on November 23, reports Dawn. The report — “Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment, 2015, — notes that the Haqqani Network generates funds by a wide range of sources including businesses and proceeds derived from criminal activities such as smuggling, extortion, and kidnapping for ransom in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The report claims that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) receives the majority of its funds from within Pakistan, including by using its charitable front organisations, Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JUD) and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), to solicit donations. “There is evidence that recently some funding via donations has been diverted from Afghanistan and Pakistan to terrorist groups operating in Syria,” claims a similar report by the British Government. Terrorist financing was the focus of discussions at a White House meeting last week between US security officials and Pakistani defence team headed by Army Chief General Raheel Sharif.

Army on November 24 said that at least 60 militants are active in North Kashmir where an Army operation is going on for past two weeks in Kupwara forests against a group of highly trained Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, reports Daily Excelsior. The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 15 Corps, Lt General Satish Dua told reporters on the sidelines of a function in North Kashmir’s Handwara town that there are 50 to 60 militants active in North Kashmir. It may be mentioned here that Security Forces (SFs) killed 56 militants in North Kashmir this year including those who were killed along the Line of Control (LoC) while infiltrating. Replying to a query about Manigah forests operation that is going on for past 11 days, Lt General Dua said that Army has tightened the noose around the group in the forests after their infiltration. “This operation is going on for past few days and one of our officers was martyred and one terrorist was also shot dead. They are not able to go out of this area after infiltration”, said the GOC. Lt General Dua said that Army does not use heavy weaponry during the operations to avoid collateral damage. He said that Army in its operations against militants ensures that there is no collateral damage. “It is why we suffer damages and you see in operations our jawans get injured”, he added.

In the rural bylanes and the small towns of West Bengal, terror is hiding in plain sight, Hindustan Times reports on November 26. They sometimes manifest in the unassuming next-door-neighbour with a 9-to-5 job, such as Mehdi Mashroor Biswas, an educated middle class youth from Bengal who handled the IS’ twitter handle from Bengaluru. They also take the form of young housewives trained in using ammunition and making improvised explosive devices in unrecognised madrasas (Islamic Seminary). Thousands of such institutions, many located close to the Bangladesh border, form the base of the radicalisation, training and recruitment of potential jihadists in West Bengal, intelligence officials say. Trainers use video clips, indoctrination documents and short films in Bengali to indoctrinate the youth. These schools often run low-profile training operations, specialising in putting out extremist literature in Bengali and posting such content on Facebook and other social media websites– helping jihadi recruiters lure youth in rural areas. “Years back it was outfits like the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Hizbul Mujahiden (HM) that used Bengal as a conduit and safe haven for cadres to sneak into India from Bangladesh where they arrived from Pakistan. Now terror outfits are on a recruitment drive, both in rural and urban areas. New outfits are showing a kneeling towards organisations like the al Qaida and IS,” said a state Crime Investigation Department (CID) officer. The latest example was seen last week, when Ansar-ut Tawhid fi Bilal al-Hind (AuT) a terror outfit with links to the IS, initiated online propaganda in Bengali to woo Bengali speaking youths in West Bengal and neighbouring Bangladesh. “In Bengal, the situation is critical. For years, a section of unrecognised madrasas have been the hotbed for radicalisation. But the Bardhaman blasts (October 2, 2014) and Masroor’s arrest exposed that the indoctrination and recruitment cells of terror organisations have dug deep,” said a senior Bengal Police official dealing with terrorism. Intelligence sources say West Bengal -- which shares long and semi porous border with Bangladesh -- has been on the radar of Pakistani and Bangladeshi terror outfits for a long time and the radicalisation menace was spreading fast, stoked both by the 10,000-odd unrecognised madrasas and the proliferation of online terror posts.

The Intelligence agencies of the Government of India have put all financial institutions including banks in both Government and private sectors on high alert following reports that dreaded militant outfits like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) have generated funds worth several crores from within the country and abroad to step-up militancy in India especially Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior on November 30. Official sources said that reports available with the Intelligence agencies on the basis of investigations conducted by financial wings revealed that the two militant outfits, which were being run through ‘remote control’ from Pakistan and were instrumental in inflicting several casualties of security forces and civilians, had received funds from abroad running into several crores and used them for funding militancy and financing families of both working and slain terrorists. “The Intelligence agencies have asked all financial institutions including banks in Government and private sector to keep strict surveillance on major transactions coming from abroad not only in J&K but other States also as there had been reports that some organizations (from abroad) instead of directly routing the money to J&K were getting it transferred from other States to avoid any doubts,’’ sources said. Reports revealed that the two militant outfits had specifically received funds from various Gulf nations and Pakistan apart from some other countries. However, majority of funds had come from Gulf and Pakistan. Some of the funds had also been received from a couple of States within the country. There had been reports that the money had been distributed by both the outfits among their cadre including militants, their families, kin of slain militants and Over Ground Workers (OGWs) to sustain the militancy, which had suffered major reverses over the past few years. “The militants, facing defeat at hands of security forces, had used new route of luring their cadre with the help of money power. Pakistan and several Gulf countries were used to fetch the money to keep the militancy going,’’ sources said, adding that some of the financial transactions had been detected but by then they had been cashed by conduits of the outfits using fictitious names on the bank accounts.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has sent a fresh request to Moroccan authorities for recording the statement of Faiza Outalha mainly pertaining to her knowledge about her estranged husband David Headley’s association with Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group, a move which is apparently aimed at unravelling the role of state actors in Pakistan in 26/11 (November 26, 2008) attacks. The development came after the Moroccan authorities, while executing a Letters Rogatory (LR) sent by the NIA in 2012 after many months, had sent a statement of Outalha recorded by the law enforcing agencies of that country. The fresh request has been with a French Translation as the Government of Morocco had returned previous requests asking for a translation of the documents as per the rule of the requested country, they said. French is generally used by the Moroccan government for international diplomacy. In the absence of any Mutual Assistance Legal Treaty between India and Morocco, the LR has been issued on the basis of “Assurance of Reciprocity”, thereby promising the African country of all assistance in any legal cases in future. Outalha had visited India twice and was used by Headley, while carrying out a reconnaissance mission at Hotel Taj Mahal in Mumbai where she was ostensibly on a visit.
