The chargesheet contains 2202 witness statements, including those of officers of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. It incorporates forensic evidence, fingerprint reports, and documentary and oral evidence collected in India and abroad.

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.

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.

According to Hindustan Times, an Indian Mujahideen (IM) militant, identified as Mohammad Saddik Shaikh, has revealed that Pakistan had rewarded the financier of the outfit to carry out terrorist activity in India. The revelation was made in the confessional statement opened by the Special Maharashtra Control of Organized Crimes Act (MCOCA) court in Mumbai on April 9. “Amir Raza, financier of IM, was paid handsomely by high ranking officials from the Pakistan Army to conduct terrorist operations in India,” Saddik said in the statement. According to the statement, Saddik had gone to Pakistan in 2003 where he met Colonel Atif, who had given him two envelopes to be delivered to Raza. Raza used to transfer money through the Western Union Money Transfer firm and hawala (informal money transfer system) for conducting weapon and explosives training in Pakistan and for other IM requirements. Saddik reportedly first visited Pakistan after the 1992-93 Mumbai riots and underwent training. “From Karachi airport I was taken to LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] office where I met their chief Azam Cheema. I was then sent to Muzzafarabad where I underwent training for over 25 days in weapon handling and how to assemble explosives,” Saddik said. “After a group of boys came back from training, Raza asked me to show my work. With the help of Riyaz Bhatkal, founder of IM and other members, I conducted blasts in Delhi, Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and in several other places,” Saddik has confessed. From February 2005 to September 2008, the IM conducted blasts in several cities like Gorakhpur, Hyderabad, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Surat, Saddik has said in his confession.

The four foreign nationals include a Pakistani national and an Omani national. “We have established their involvement in the conspiracy. We are not revealing their names as they are yet to be apprehended,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Alok Kumar. The accused have been charged with waging war against the country under Section 121A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and causing grievous injury and conspiracy under Section 120B of IPC. They have been charged with using explosive devices and causing damage to public property under the Explosive Act 1884. The Police have charged the accused with being members of an unlawful association, indulging in terrorist activities and arranging finance for terrorist acts under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967. “The punishment for these offences is life imprisonment or death and is heard by Sessions Court. As the charges are under the Unlawful Activities Act, we get 180 days to file the charge sheet instead of the 90 days in other offences,” a city Police officer said. The accused were reportedly cadres of the so-called Shahbuddin Gowri Brigade of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) outfit. The accused had made use of ammonium nitrate, nuts, bolts, printed circuit boards brought from Kannur in Kerala. Sarfarz Nawaz identified the places where bombs had to be placed and also organised finance for the attack from Wali alias Rehan, a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative from Pakistan, the chargesheet said.

The Special Sessions Court trying the Mumbai terror attacks case on June 23 issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against 22 of the 35 wanted accused, including the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD, the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] front) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, who was released in Pakistan recently, The Hindu reported. Judge M. L. Tahaliyani granted the prosecution plea on the ground that most of the accused found mention in the confessional statement of lone captured LeT terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir alias Kasab. Other pieces of evidence include phone records of CallPhonex. Besides, the accused were charged with conspiring to wage a war against the Government of India. “Almost all are citizens of Pakistan or are at least residing in that country,” the court noted on the basis of the addresses provided by the prosecution. Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam referred to Kasab’s statement to cite the involvement of the 22 accused in the conspiracy. Most of them were shown to have played the role of trainers. Saeed was a professor, who led the JuD and visited a training camp before 26/11, Nikam told the court. Zaki-Ur-Rehaman Lakhvi was the ‘operations commander’, Abu Hamza, the training in-charge, Abu Al Kama and Muzammil, the ‘area commanders’, Zarar Shah, in-charge of the publicity wing, and Abu Mufti Saeed, the president of the Muridke training camp. The money trail led to Mohammad Ishfak, who paid $250 in the name of Kharak Singh. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) records showed the name of a Col. R. Saadat Ullah. Abu Kaahfa, Abdul Rehaman Chota, Abu Abdur Rehman, Abu Fahad Ullah, Abu Anas, Abu Bashir, Abu Imran, Abu Umar Saeed, Sajid Iftikhar, Khurram Shahdad, Abu Mavia, and Abu Hanjila Pathan were the remaining accused against whom warrants were issued. The addresses of the conspirators spanned the provinces of Punjab and the North West Frontier Province. The locations included Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Lahore, Muridke, Mansehra, Multan, Peshawar and Rawalpindi. Saeed hailed from Lahore’s Johar town. The 22 warrants will be addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, and the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation for execution. The CBI’s Interpol wing will then coordinate with Interpol, Pakistan, and seek its help to arrest and produce the accused before the court.

Special judge M. L.

On July 20, Kasab had pleaded guilty and demanded that he should be punished immediately. Special Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, however, argued that Kasab’s statement was only ‘‘partially true’’ and so the prosecution wanted to continue examining witnesses to establish all the 86 charges against him. Tahaliyani, while passing the order, observed that Kasab had given a ‘‘voluntary confession’’ and his statement could not be removed from the records. ‘‘The trial will proceed. The confession will stay though I will not make any comment on its evidence value at this stage,’’ the Judge added.

The Madras High Court Bench in Madurai on July 24 confirmed the conviction imposed on four alleged Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) sympathisers for attempting to hurl a bomb at the Police, but commuted their sentence to one-year rigorous imprisonment, reported The Hindu. Justice A. Selvam held that the convicts need not undergo three years of imprisonment, as ordered by a Fast Track Court in Pudukottai district in 2004, considering the nature of offence committed and the fact that they were first time offenders. According to prosecution, Balasundaram alias Sundaram, Meiyappan, Kannan and Murugan hatched a conspiracy on August 5, 1998 to smuggle certain goods to Sri Lanka for the LTTE. Rajendran, then Village Administrative Officer of Kodikulam, overheard a conversation between the accused behind a temple in South Pudukkudi village and lodged a complaint with the Kottaipattinam Police. The accused attempted to hurl a bomb when a Sub-Inspector and other police personnel attempted to arrest them. They were overpowered. Later, they were remanded to judicial custody, resulting in the conviction under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Explosives Substances Act and Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act.

A special Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court on July 27 convicted three persons for their involvement in the bomb blasts at the Gateway of India and the Zaveri Bazaar in Mumbai on August 25, 2003, which killed 52 persons and injured 184, reports The Hindu. Judge M.R. Puranik announced that Haneef Sayyed (46) and his wife Fahmeeda (43) from Marol and Ashrat Ansari (32) from Juhu Galli would be sentenced on August 4. The three were also held guilty of carrying out a bomb blast in a bus at Ghatkopar on July 28, 2003, which killed two people and injured 60, and of planting a bomb, which however did not explode, in a bus in the Santa Cruz Electronics Export Processing Zone. They were convicted under Sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 427 (damaging property) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code. They were also convicted under Sections 3 (damaging property) and 4 (damaging property by fire or explosive) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act; Sections 3 (causing an explosion to endanger life) and 4 (making an explosive to endanger life) of the Explosive Substances Act; and Sections 5 and 9B (licence for the use of explosives) of the Explosives Act. The mastermind of the blasts, who claimed to be a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, had turned approver. The Police claimed that Nasir Ahmed, one of the conspirators, was killed in an encounter in September 2003. However, the couple and Ashrat Ansari were acquitted under Sections 5 and 6 (making or possessing explosives under suspicious circumstances) of the Explosive Substances Act. "These are very minor offences," said Nikam. The accused were LeT operatives and had committed serious offences. "We will (therefore) argue for the highest punishment." He added Earlier, investigations revealed that the bomb blasts were carried out by cadres of the Gujarat Muslim Revenge Force to avenge the communal riots in Gujarat in 2002. Two other accused — Ansari Ladoowala and Hasan Batterywala — were discharged from the case after a POTA Review Committee gave them a clean chit in 2005. The 16-year-old daughter of Sayyed and Fahmeeda was also an accused, but was later acquitted.

The two suspected Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, who were arrested by the Delhi Police in the night of August 6, confessed that they had been sent to India by the outfit’s Pakistan-based ‘Supreme Commander’ Syed Salahuddin on an important assignment, reports The Hindu. Their interrogation so far has revealed that Salahuddin and his deputy, Khalid Saifullah, met them separately at training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) seven months before and asked them to remain prepared for an important assignment. A fortnight later, another militant Shahid told them to sneak into India through Nepal. He also procured passports and visas for them. Javed and Ashiq reportedly met for the first time at Rawalpindi in Pakistan on July 29, 2009 through Shahid. He gave them INR 40,000 and took them from Islamabad to Karachi, from where they boarded a flight to Nepal. Another handler at Pokhara in Nepal helped them sneak into India through Sanauli in Uttar Pradesh. The two boarded a train at Gorakhpur to Jammu on August 3. In Jammu, they were reportedly contacted by Faiyaz, who arranged for them a white Santro car and two AK-47 rifles, two hand grenades and four magazines.

According to The Hindu, the Union Government on August 10 informed the Supreme Court that after the Mumbai terrorist attacks, it asked the States to set up anti-terrorist squads, and many States did so. In its counter to the affidavit on a public interest litigation petition filed by the former Attorney-General, Soli Sorabjee, for a direction that the Union Government equip the Police and Security Forces with modern weapons for countering terror attacks, the Government said that under the Modernisation of State Police Scheme, the States could avail themselves of the special component of the assistance to strengthen Special Branches. The hearing was adjourned after Attorney-General G.E. Vahanvati submitted that the Union Government had filed its response. The petitioner had expressed concern over the Police using inadequate and outdated weapons and being ill-quipped to deal with terror strikes, particularly the November 26, 2008, attack at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai. The Police were still using World War II rifles and bullet-proof jackets.

The Interpol on August 25 issued Red Corner Notices (RCN) against Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder chief, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, and mastermind of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, reports PTI. The notices were issued against Saeed and Lakhvi after a Mumbai court issued a non-bailable warrant against the duo for their involvement in the November 26, 2008 (alos known as 26/11) attacks. India also sent proof and requests to issue a similar warrant against LeT commander Zarar Shah and Abu Al Qama. Interpol said it was analysing the evidence against them. The RCN were issued after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) approached the international agency for the same with non-bailable warrants against them. Special Judge M.L. Tahaliyani had issued the warrants, asking the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the CBI Director to execute them through Interpol and produce the accused before the court soon. Saeed had reportedly provided training to terrorists between 2007 and 2008 at Muridke (LeT headquarters), Manshera, Muzzafarabad, Azizabad, and Paanch Teni in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. In December 2008, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) imposed sanctions on the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the front organisation of the banned LeT, declaring it a terrorist outfit, and labelled Saeed and Lakhvi as terrorists. The Council asked all its member countries to freeze their assets and impose a travel ban and arms embargo against them. Besides Saeed and Lakhvi, two other top leaders of the LeT — Haji Muhammad Ashraf and Zaki-ur-Bahaziq — have also been declared terrorists by the UNSC. India had sought a ban on the JuD after the LeT was blamed for the attacks in Mumbai.

US investigating agencies have neutralised a plot by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to use an American national for terrorist attacks in Denmark and India, Times of India reported. The man, identified as David Coleman Headley, was one of two suspects arrested early in October 2009 by FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport before he boarded a flight to Philadelphia, from where he was intending to travel to Pakistan to meet Pakistani terrorist handlers, including the fugitive Ilyas Kashmiri. Headley's partner in the terror plot, which included plans to attack the Danish newspaper that published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed, was a Pakistani-Canadian named Tahawwur Hussain Rana, also a resident of Chicago who was arrested by the FBI on October 18. According to the FBI affidavit filed in a Chicago court, Headley was in close contact with Ilyas Kashmiri and several unidentified leaders of LeT, two of whom are identified as "LeT member A" and "Individual A." He had visited Pakistan before to meet LeT handlers and was returning there ostensibly to finalize plans for strikes. "In July and August 2009, Headley exchanged a series of e-mails with LeT Member A, including an exchange in which Headley asked if the Denmark project was on hold, and whether a visit to India that LeT member A had asked him to undertake was for the purpose of surveilling targets for a new terrorist attack," the FBI said in its affidavit. "These e-mails reflect that LeT Member A was placing a higher priority on using Headley to assist in planning a new attack in India than on completing the planned attack in Denmark," it said. Although the affidavit named Kashmiri, it did not identify others involved in the plot, referring to them as LeT member A and Individual A. It said LeT member A "has substantial influence and responsibility within the organization" and his "identity is known to the government."

According to The Hindu, David Headley, the suspect terrorist arrested by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), will soon be charged separately by the Mumbai Police for allegedly conducting reconnaissance of targets hit by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists in November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11). The decision comes after the FBI gave in a Chicago court details of the reconnaissance missions carried out by the American national at the behest of the LeT.
