According to Times of India, security agencies have been placed on a high alert following an intelligence report that seven trained pilots and around 12 women Fidayeen (suicide squad) members have entered the country to carry out terrorist attacks, including hijackings. Consequently, security arrangements across India have been beefed up following the input that was received six days ago by the Maharashtra Police and some other security agencies. A source said, "A group of 20 people, who could be Pakistani nationals, have entered the country to carry out terror strikes or a plane hijack. The group includes seven trained pilots and 13-14 women." "While we have been receiving terror threats repeatedly after 26/11, the current input is clearly the biggest one airports have received so far," said an unnamed official. The message was conveyed to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, which forwarded it to all airports across the country.

Pakistan has failed to deliver on its promise that it would not allow its territory to be used by terrorists to attack India, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said on April 1, accusing Islamabad of taking “no effective action” to tackle anti-India groups, The Hindu reported. Describing Pakistan as the “epicentre” of world terrorism, he said the Government in Islamabad was either not able to control terrorists or was “not willing to control them.” Dr. Singh, who is in London to attend the G20 summit, urged the international community to hold Pakistan to its commitment to rein in terrorists. “The world has a responsibility that Pakistan lives up to the promise that it will not allow its territory to be used to promote acts of terror directed against India,” he told the Financial Times. Asked why he thought that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which was responsible for the Mumbai attacks in November 2008, regrouped so quickly and appeared to be “menacing” India again in Kashmir, Dr. Singh said: “It is because the promises that the government of Pakistan have made to control terrorism and all its instrumentalities, they are either not able to control them or they are not willing to control them ... In the past, it has been our experience that there are elements in the armed forces of Pakistan, some segments of the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] involved in perpetrating acts of terror, particularly the attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul. We have been told that the ISI in Pakistan has a different mindset. I hope that is right.” The Prime Minister also stated, that “We are victims of terrorism and we hope that whatever the world community plans to do they will pay adequate attention that terrorism ceases to be a problem in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan. We all know the epicentre of terrorism in the world today is Pakistan. The world community has to come to grips with this harsh reality.”

A top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant, ‘district divisional commander’ Yusuf Gujjar alias Kamran, and his two associates were shot dead by Security Forces (SFs) at village Sarawan in the Kishtwar District on April 2. Deputy Inspector General of Police (Doda range), Hemant Kumar Lohia, told Daily Excelsior that SFs launched a search operation at Sarawan at 10 am after securing specific information about the presence of three top militants, including Yusuf Gujjar, in the area. During the encounter that ensued after a search operation was launched, all three of them were killed. Unconfirmed reports said that a Territorial Army trooper, Zafarullah, who had deserted his battalion in March 2009 and joined the LeT outfit, was also present in the area. His killing in the operation has not been confirmed so far by the SFs. It has, however, been confirmed that Zafarullah had joined Yusuf Gujjar’s group after deserting the Army. Recoveries made from the incident site include one AK-56 rifle with three magazines, four grenades, six Chinese grenades, one pistol and a large quantity of ammunition.

The militants carried out three blasts and mounted a grenade attack within five hours, adds The Hindu. The Director General of Police, G.M. Srivastava, said seven people were killed and 56 injured in a powerful blast in a crowded market in Guwahati’s Maligaon area at around 2 pm (IST). In the blast, four of the dead, including a minor girl, have been identified. The explosion sparked a fire that set ablaze two cars and 20 motorcycles and spread to a three-storey building housing the area police station. While six people were killed at the blast site, one died of injuries after jumping from an adjacent building which had caught fire. The bomb is suspected to have been hidden in a car or a motorcycle parked adjacent to the North-East Frontier Railway headquarters. “This is the handiwork of ULFA boys ahead of the outfit’s Raising Day” Srivastava said, adding the militants used hi-tech explosives. A bomb was set off by unidentified militants in the Santipur area near Bokajan in Karbi Anglong District earlier in the day. Suspected ULFA militants also set off a bicycle bomb explosion at Dhekiajuli in Sonitpur District later. Four people were injured, one of them seriously, in this incident. According to an unconfirmed report, he later died of his injuries. In addition, an unidentified militant lobbed a hand grenade at Mankachar Police station in Dhubri district, killing a Police driver and injuring another.

In the morning of April 6, around 150 suspected cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attempted to explode a Government school using dynamite at Ketaki village in the Aurangabad District, The Hindu reported. However, the school building was not damaged as the explosion was not powerful. The Maoists took away a generator of the school before the Police reached the spot. According to Police sources, the ongoing attacks on schools by the Maoists have been an attempt to foil the State administration's bid to house Central Reserve Police Force and other para-military forces in schools for deployment in Maoist affected areas during the Parliament elections scheduled to be held in April-May.

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.

Quoting intelligence sources, DNA reported that the Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in a meeting on April 9 directed the State Home department to chalk out an action plan on an immediate basis to tackle the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace in the State. "Eighteen Policemen and 16 civilians have been killed in 12 Naxal (left-wing extremists) attacks in last three months. We need tight security to ensure that the elections can be carried out peacefully. Apart from the support from Chhattisgarh, the Naxalites are believed to be assisted by their counterparts from Sri Lanka and Nepal," a senior official of the Home department told Chavan during the meeting. The State Government demanded four helicopters and four battalions of central security agencies to be used for the election in Maoist infested areas. Chavan also asked the Home department to seek the Army's help if needed. "An action plan should be immediately chalked out and followed rigorously to ensure elections are conducted peacefully," he added. The Chief Minister has also written to the Union Minister for Home Affairs, P. Chidambaram, for 12 companies of the paramilitary forces exclusively for Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts to counter the Maoists, added Times of India.

Make sure that we remain on high alert because four organisations are working in consort. That means the level of threat is pretty high,” he told NDTV. “I don’t think anyone has captured anyone to identify him as a Taliban.

"It is possible that women may be involved in giving directions to the terrorists," he added. On the issue of infiltration of Taliban in India, Kapoor said, "As far as the Indian Army is concerned, we have had no trace of Taliban." Kapoor also said the Army had expected "calibration" in infiltration around the election time. "We did expect that there would be a certain amount of calibration from the other side to push in infiltrators because of elections, which is what they are trying," he stated. A three-tier Defence system had been put in place on the LoC to deal with any situation as the Army was aware of plans to escalate infiltration bids in the run-up to the elections, General Kapoor added.

On April 15, eleven Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed and one Border Security Force (BSF) personnel injured during a seven hour long encounter at Dhansa Ghati in the Rohtas District, Patna Daily reported.

It appears that during their retreat, the Maoists took away the injured and bodies of the dead colleagues," BSF sources said, adding, "This is for the first time in the series of recent Maoist attacks that they were made to retreat after suffering substantial casualties without causing much damage to the BSF." According to the Additional Director General of Police Neelmani, "Maoists used three rocket launchers. Two launchers failed and one rocket hit a wall."

"We have been talking about this issue (boycott) for past three-four months. We will ask the people to consider the pro-India leadership gloating about the results of previous elections. We will leave the decision to the people," he said. He said while his faction of Hurriyat did not deny the right of other separatists to call for boycott of the elections, they should also not be denied their right to call the polls a non-issue.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (Let) militant, identified as Nissar Ahmed, was killed along with his girl friend and an accomplice at Dori Bhagla in Doda District on April 19, Times of India reported. Doda Deputy Inspector General of Police H. K. Lohia said that Nissar had slipped through the Police net more than once in the past and that his girlfriend Zahida Bano (20) proved crucial in tracking him down. "Nissar, one of the most wanted terrorists in the district, was proving very elusive for us till we stumbled upon his affair with Zahida," he said. He said as soon as Police came to know about the affair, sleuths were hot on her trail. Zahida was kept under watch for 10 days. "We closed in on Nissar when we discovered Zahida was to meet him," Lohia said. A team of Security Force personnel followed Zahida to Nissar's hideout. "Nissar and Mohammed Rafiq Nazni, another terrorist accompanying him, were asked to surrender. When they didn't, security forces fired at them," Lohia said. He said Nissar and Nazni were killed while Zahida was critically injured. "Zahida, who had been working for the LeT as an Over Ground Worker (OGW), later died in a local hospital." Lohia also said that a LeT OGW arrested last week had tipped the Police about Zahida's terror link. Superintendent of Police Parbhat Singh said the two militants had been active in the forest area around Doda for a long time. "Their elimination is a major success for counter-insurgency operations in the area," he said, adding, two AK-47 rifles were recovered from the encounter site.

Intelligence agencies have recently ascertained that a joint meeting between militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) chief Wadhawa Singh was held in Rawalpindi in Pakistan during February 2009, where they planned terrorist attacks in Punjab during the Parliamentary elections scheduled to be held in the fourth and fifth phases on May 7 and May 13, according to Times of India. Sources in the agencies said the Pakistan-based terrorist outfits had planned to take help of local BKI cadres for logistical support. A similar meeting had also taken place in December 2008 when Pakistan-based terrorist outfits had planned to infiltrate their cadres through the fenced western border in Punjab and Rajasthan, sources added. Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has alerted the State to take adequate measures in coordination with central intelligence and security agencies to foil any such attempts. Agencies believed that Wadhawa Singh continues to be a vital link between terrorists in other countries and some radical elements in the Sikh community in Punjab. Wadhawa Singh, hiding in Pakistan, is one of the 40 most-wanted terrorists India has sought to be deported from Pakistan.

The prosecution on April 20 proposed 312 charges against the accused in the November 26, 2008, Mumbai attack case, The Hindu reported. The charges are against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, Fahim Ansari, Mohammad Sabahuddin Ahmed and 35 wanted accused. Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam filed the draft charges before the special sessions court at the Arthur Road jail in Mumbai. This step comes before framing of the charges. The charges of criminal conspiracy are applicable to all the accused. The charges include: committing terrorist acts with an intent to overawe the government, striking terror, waging war, organising and imparting training in Pakistan with the object of attacking major cities of India, destabilising the Indian government by engineering violence and through subversive activities, weakening India’s economic might, killing foreign nationals, adversely affecting Hindu-Muslim harmony, attacking territorial integrity by planning to capture Kashmir, smuggling firearms and explosives, exchanging maps of locations, aiding, abetting and facilitating terrorist acts, assisting criminal conspiracy and committing acts to further the objectives of criminal conspiracy. Sections of the Indian Penal Code, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Explosive Substances Act, Explosives Act, Passport Act (Entry into India), Foreigners Act, Indian Railways Act, Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984, Bombay Police Act and Customs Act apply to the charges. Nikam on April 20 also presented evidence against Ansari and Sabahuddin. He said the writing on the map found on the person of deceased accused, Abu Ismail, and that of Ansari was found matching by experts. The map showed the position of the Chowpatty and Malabar Hill. It also had a mention of the Raj Bhavan. Nikam said Ansari attempted to hire a room at Badhwar Park in Cuffe Parade where the terrorists docked. He found accommodation at Patthe Bapurao Marg up to 5 km from Badhwar Park and from there, Fahim allegedly made detailed maps of the locations. He also bought a mobile phone in the fictitious name of Sahil Pawaskar. He also got himself admitted to the SoftPro computer institute opposite the Bombay Stock exchange, Nikam said. In his confession, Ajmal has stated that the LeT ‘commander’ Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi asked the terrorists to destroy the maps on reaching target locations. The statement mentions the names of Ansari and Sabahuddin.

Times of India reports that the Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB) committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) claimed responsibility for the attack on the National Aluminium Company Limited’s (NALCO) Panchpatmali bauxite mines at Damanjodi in Koraput District on April 12.

Tribals of the area are still languishing. The PSU has deliberately neglected the area. Few local youths have been employed by the company. Our aim was not only to loot arms and explosives from Nalco but development of the area. Our fight against Nalco will continue," the letter stated.

Orissa Police on April 21 claimed to have arrested a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘commander’, identified as Udaya alias P. Rama Rao, along with his three associates after a raid on their hideout in the Gudari forest of Rayagada District, reports Telegraph. "Udaya is the third in the rank in the Vansadhra division and a link between (the Maoists’) Andhra committee and the Orissa unit," District Superintendent of Police Ashish Kumar Singh said. Two of the associates arrested, Surendra and Jadu, are "hardcore cadre", Singh said, adding Padmana is an area committee member who provided logistics support to Udaya and others. Udaya was one of the masterminds behind the murder of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati, a Hindu right-wing leader, and four of his associates in Kandhamal on August 23, 2008, Singh said. Since being sent to Orissa in 2001 to expand the Maoist network, Udaya was involved in over 20 cases of murder, rioting and looting of Government armouries in the Udaygiri and Nayagarh Districts, Singh added. Some of the weapons seized from Udaya and others bore marks of the Nayagarh District armoury. Udaya, who has been with the CPI-Maoist for 18 years, originally belonged to the insurgents’ Srikakulam division in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The Maoists refer to Kandhamal, Rayagada and Gajapati as the Vansadhra Division.

The Centre on April 22 admitted that around 50 terrorists had infiltrated into Jammu and Kashmir through the Gurez sector and said the entire security apparatus was alert to ensure peaceful Lok Sabha elections in the State. The extent of the infiltration was given by the Union Home Ministry (MHA) while dismissing as "grossly exaggerated" reports that 158 terrorists had sneaked into the State through the Gurez sector in north Kashmir. A MHA spokesperson said "inputs about infiltration were received from different sources and periodically, various security agencies sit together to make a realistic assessment of the extent of infiltration… According to the current assessment, the level of infiltration is a third of the figures that have been mentioned in the reports." He added that "The entire security apparatus is fully alert and geared up to foil any designs of the militants, and ensure peaceful polls in the State."

A faction of the separatist All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) on April 23 issued a boycott call for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in the State saying elections have no locus standi in the resolution of Kashmir issue, Daily Excelsior reported. Seeking to clarify the earlier statement of the amalgam about not giving a boycott call, Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq said "we have asked the people to stay away from the futile exercise of elections which means that they should boycott the polls." Asked if the Hurriyat will launch a boycott campaign, he said leaders and the units of the amalgam were already out in the field trying to make people aware about their duties and responsibilities towards the "freedom movement". Umer, who chaired a two-day emergency session of the Hurriyat, said elections in the State will have no bearing on the status of the Kashmir issue as there are United Nations resolutions and international laws which hold that elections have no locus standi in disputed regions. "United Nations resolutions are clear that elections held in the State have no bearing on the Kashmir issue. Elections have been held since 1947 in the State but have failed to yield a solution. Elections cannot be a substitute to right to self determination," he added. He said there were many examples whereby elections were held in conflict zones after reaching a settlement and not before that. Mirwaiz reiterated that Kashmir was a political problem and not a territorial or border dispute between India and Pakistan which the two countries can resolve bilaterally. Last week, the Hurriyat Conference had said it will not issue a boycott call for the elections as it was a non-issue for the amalgam and will leave the decision to vote or not to vote to the conscience of the people.

The Member of Parliament and Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) candidate for the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat, S. K. Bwiswmuthiary, had a narrow escape when suspected National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militants tried to assassinate him in the Panijani forest area near Panbari village under Bogoribari Police Station in Kokrajhar District on April 24, according to Assam Tribune. His driver Suren Daimary and Personal Security Officer Munnaf Ali were killed on the spot while six others sustained injuries in the attack. Bwiswmuthiary, accompanied by a large number of BPF leaders and members, was proceeding towards Panbari where miscreants had set ablaze 11 houses of BPF supporters in the night of April 23, when the attackers, lying in wait in the area earlier, opened fire on them. Three vehicles that were part of Bwiswmuthiary’s convoy were also damaged in the attack. Later, talking to journalists Bwiswmuthiary alleged that the ‘pre-planned’ attack was the handiwork of NDFB militants, who were instigated by the Bodoland People’s Progressive Front (BPPF) candidate for the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat, U. G. Brahma, and BPPF president Rabiram Narzaree. However, Brahma and Narzaree refuted Bwiswmuthiary’s allegation and said the BPF leader was trying to draw political mileage from the incident and to malign the BPPF in public.

Telegraph reports that the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) in its 23rd general conference, being held at Mopungchuket village in Mokokchung District in Nagaland on April 27-30 called upon the Naga people to cast aside the thought of “full independence” from the country. The federation called upon all Naga groups to examine the growing strength of India and Myanmar and accordingly forge a “mutual destiny”. “When the world is advancing rapidly, the Naga people are still stuck in the ancient/ancestor’s trend of thought that Nagas can live in isolation with full independence,” the student federation said. “This unresolved political issue has been tremendously disturbing the minds of the younger generation. It is impossible for the youths to develop themselves fully in the midst of a conflict situation”, the NSF leaders said. The federation also reiterated the need to sort out the differences within the Naga groups without any further procrastination. They said instead of the Naga political issue occupying centre-stage, the Nagas were “unconsciously” pushing their inner differences to the fore, thereby overshadowing the main issue for too long.

Infiltration of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir, helped by the Pakistani establishment, has increased substantially, with March recording the highest influx as compared to the corresponding month in the last seven years, Daily Excelsior reported. The Army chief General Deepak Kapoor said in New Delhi on April 28 there was information about more militants preparing to infiltrate into India and that his force has "refined" the pattern of deployment to foil these attempts. "As far as Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, infiltration has increased in March because of the elections being held there and to disrupt the electoral process in the State," he told reporters. "The figure upto March 31 says that 54 terrorists have come into Jammu and Kashmir," Gen Kapoor added. Sources said the infiltration in March 2009 was the highest for the corresponding month in the past seven years. The infiltration has increased both in terms of quantity and quality, considering the weapons brought by terrorists, the sources said.
