Times of India reports that Thambi Anna alias Thambi Ilamkathir alias Daniel, a key Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) procurement agent who was arrested in Chennai by the Tamil Nadu Police on July 30, had come to recruit more suppliers for his network. According to police sources, Thambi Anna was a close associate of Soosai, the head of Sea Tigers (sea wing of the LTTE). “Thambi Anna was appointed chief of a procurement module in 2006 by Soosai. He has been coordinating all major smuggling operations between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka since then,” an unnamed senior police official said. He had so far managed to conduct the LTTE operations without ever visiting Tamil Nadu and was probably arrested on his first visit to the State. “We are intercepting their consignments almost every day. This has significantly reduced the LTTE’s supplies. As they can’t afford to let this situation continue, there may have been pressure on him to boost the supply mechanism,” another unnamed official said. “In a sign of their desperation, a group of suspected LTTE men intercepted by the police even asked the cops to shoot them, but to allow the consignment to go. That shows how desperate they are to get things across the sea,” the official said.

A senior United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leader was arrested from Tura Super Market on August 2-night, according to Shillong Times. According to police sources, the ULFA leader, identified as Dharmen Koch, belonged to the 128th Battalion of the outfit and he had been running a shop in Tura Super Market for the past two months. During interrogation, Dharmen revealed that two months ago he received an order from the ULFA leadership to shift the Battalion to Myanmar since the atmosphere in Bangladesh was not conductive for the organisation. One week later, he was again asked to take over as 'area commander' of ULFA's 109th Battalion in Garo Hills from Madan Koch who was killed in a police encounter on January 22, 2007. Police said the 109th Battalion was involved in supplying arms to the ULFA from Bangladesh through Garo Hills. The Battalion also carried out extortion drives in the plain belt areas of Garo Hills.

On August 2, the Orissa Government demanded four additional battalions of paramilitary forces and at least one chopper to be deployed in operations against the left-wing extremists in the State, reports Zee News. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, in a letter to the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, said that though Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh were facing similar problems, the Union Government had adopted different yardsticks towards each State. Patnaik said that while only four battalions (about 4,000 personnel) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were deployed in Orissa to combat the Maoists, as many as 16 battalions each were provided to neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. "Dantewada district alone in Chhattisgarh got six CRPF battalions", he said.

On August 3, the 15th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit concluded in Colombo. The Summit in its concluding session adopted the Colombo Declaration, titled "Partnership for growth of our people," which dwelt at length on terrorism and issues such as trade promotion and measures to face the challenges posed by climate change, reports The Hindu. The declaration expressed deep concern over the serious threat posed by terrorism to the peace, stability and security of the region and emphasised the need for the "strongest possible cooperation" in fighting terror and trans-national organised crime, especially in the area of information exchange. The SAARC leaders reiterated their commitment to strengthening the "legal regime against terrorism" by implementing all international conventions relating to combating terrorism to which the member-states are parties, as well as the SAARC Regional Convention on Suppression of Terrorism and the Additional Protocol to the SAARC Regional Convention on Suppression of Terrorism. The Declaration further said the leaders recognised the growing linkage between terrorism and illegal trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic substances, humans and firearms and stressed the need to address the problem in a comprehensive manner.

Telegraph reports that a senior United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leader and ‘commander’ of the outfit’s 109th battalion, Dharmen Hajong, who was arrested on August 2-night, allegedly committed suicide on August 4-morning inside a cell at Tura police station in the West Garo Hills district. Police said he used his blanket to hang himself inside the cell. Hajong, who was originally from the 28th battalion, two months back replaced Madan Koch, killed in an encounter on January 22, as the ‘area commander’ of the 109th battalion in charge of Garo Hills, was mainly responsible for monitoring supply of arms and ammunition from Bangladesh to cadres in Assam via the porous Garo Hills border. Hajong told his interrogators that two months ago, before ULFA’s 28th battalion declared the cease-fire he was asked to go to Bangladesh as the outfit planned to shift some senior leaders to Myanmar as Dhaka wanted it to shift its bases. ULFA’s plan to tranship arms and ammunition to Assam from Bangladesh via Garo Hills ahead of Independence Day (15th August) was foiled by the arrest of Hajong in Tura.

A specially-designated tribunal on August 5 lifted the ban imposed by the Union Government on the activities of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports PTI. Justice Geeta Mittal of the Delhi High Court, who headed the tribunal, held that there was no new evidence submitted by the Government against the SIMI to justify the extension of the ban. A senior law officer said that the Government only came out with the evidence of the Malegaon blasts in Maharashtra in 2006 to show the complicity of the organisation in unlawful activities which was not sufficient to come out with the notification to ban it. However, the Union Home Ministry (MHA) said it will challenge the order of the tribunal which lifted the ban. A MHA spokesperson said, "The ministry will examine the order of the specially-designated tribunal in detail and take remedial action on a priority basis."

Two improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which were planted by the suspected United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants at Gouripur in the Dhubri district were recovered and later defused by the Army personnel on August 9-night, reports Telegraph. The report added that the IED could be programmed in a manner that if the first detonator failed to trigger the explosion, the second one would get activated automatically. "This enhances the precision of the IEDs as well as making deactivation very risky. Timer devices are generally very erratic. Many a times they fail to explode because of a problem in programming. But in this kind of device, if one programme fails, it automatically activates the other," an unnamed Army explosive expert said.

A senior police official has said that over 100,000 Bangladeshis who had entered the country legally have gone missing, reports Indian Express. Speaking at a seminar 'Changes in Security Perspective of Indo-Bangladesh' at Shillong on August 10, Meghalaya's Additional Director General of Police Kulbir Khrishna said "Over one lakh Bangladeshis who entered India with valid passports and visa are traceless as on date". He said the number of these missing Bangladeshis could be ascertained as they had valid documents. However, the total illegal migrants in India could be astounding, he added. Pointing that there was evidence to show the involvement of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B), which has proximity to Bangladeshi Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) and the Pakistani external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in a number of terror attacks in the country in the recent past, he said the porous border has fomented the movement of insurgent elements and illegal migrants.

Five persons, including senior Hurriyat leader Sheikh Abdul Aziz, were killed on August 11 when the security forces opened fire at several places in the Kashmir Valley to stop thousands of people from marching to Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Over 230 people are reported to have sustained injuries. The protesters took to the streets to break the "economic blockade" of the Valley imposed by the Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangarsh Samiti that is leading the Amarnath land agitation. Sheikh Aziz, who was the chairman of the pro-Pakistan People’s League and senior executive member of the Hurriyat Conference, was leading the march, when the Army and the police tried to stop it at Chehlan, around 16 km. from Baramulla, and opened fire. The 54-year-old Aziz was one-time head of the pro-Pakistan militant outfit Al Jehad. Earlier, thousands of people from different parts of the Valley started marching towards Sopore town, from where a caravan of trucks laden with fruits was to begin its journey towards Muzaffarabad. The Kashmir Fruit Growers Association, the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Traders Federation, both Hurriyat factions and the People’s Democratic Party had given the call for ‘Muzaffarabad chalo.’ En route, the police and paramilitary troops opened fire in at least five places, including Qamarwari in Srinagar, Baramulla and Sangrama.

Security forces opened fire across Jammu and Kashmir on August 12, in which 15 protesters were killed, The Hindu reported. Some of the worst violence was reported from capital Srinagar, where six protesters were shot dead, in day-long skirmishes between mobs and police. Police killed three more protesters in the central Kashmir town of Lasjan, where police said Islamist-led rioters had attempted to storm the home of the former Minister and People’s Democratic Party legislator Javaid Ahmad Mir. A police officer was also seriously injured in the firing, which officials said was initiated by Mir’s panicked bodyguards. Soldiers killed three more protesters, including a woman, near the north Kashmir town of Paribal. A spokesperson for the Srinagar-based 15 Corps said the protesters, who were throwing stones at an isolated military picket, refused to disperse despite repeated appeals. A protester was killed in Anantnag, although confirmation on the cause of his death was not available. Police in the remote mountain town of Kishtwar killed two members of a mob that attacked homes belonging to the region’s Hindu minority. According to The Hindu, eight people have now died in Jammu since Hindu groups launched a movement demanding that the Shrine Board’s land-use rights be restored — three in police firing, one in a terrorist grenade attack, one in an accident, and the last in a protest-suicide. In the Kashmir region, the death toll is over three times as high.

The Union Government on August 20 filed a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court, citing the involvement of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) cadres in the recent bomb blasts in Ahmedabad in Gujarat, reports The Hindu. In its affidavit, the Government said investigations revealed that the accused in the bomb blasts in Ahmedabad and Surat on July 26 were members of the SIMI. Annexing the depositions made by witnesses, the Government further said intelligence sources and secret surveillance by the Police made it clear that the accused had nexus with international terrorist outfits. Further, these persons were persistently involved in more than one offence or other unlawful activities and the nature of activities indulged in by the outfit would show secessionist tendencies and the potential damage to the secular fabric of society. Annexing a list of over 350 terrorist-related cases registered in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal since 2001 and the arrest of over 1,400 SIMI cadres, the Centre said that despite the ban, the outfit had continued with its activities and managed to keep its network alive clandestinely. The organisation was revived through the front outfits, Tahreek-e-Ehyaa-e-Ummat, Tehreek-Talaba-e-Arabia, Tehrik Tahaffuz-e-Sha`aire Islam and Wahadat-e-Islami. The Centre said the confessional statements of some of the accused revealed that SIMI cadres had secret meetings to mobilise Muslim youth to spread jihad in the entire Indian subcontinent especially in Gujarat, and that they had planned to wage a war against India by indoctrinating and training Muslim youth in the use of arms and ammunition. The court on August 6 stayed an order passed by the Special Tribunal, set up under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, quashing the Centre’s February 7 notification banning the SIMI. As the tribunal order has been stayed for three weeks, the matter is listed for further hearing on August 25.

With the security forces killing eight more militants in the Machhil sector of Kupwara district on August 23, the death toll of the militants in the two-day long operation in the area has risen to 13, Daily Excelsior reported. A Defence spokesman said that during the search and cordon operation in the forest areas of Machhil, the troops were fired upon by some militants in the early hours of August 23. The troops retaliated and in the ensuing encounter, eight militants were killed. As reported earlier, the troops killed five militants in the Machhil sector while four Army personnel, including Commanding Officer Colonel J. J. Joseph, also died in the gun-battle on August 22. This was the first major encounter with militants in the hinterland, the spokesman said, adding reports have suggested a steep increase in infiltration attempts by militants and Line of Control (LoC) violations by the Pakistan troops. Colonel Joseph, Commanding Officer of the 45 Rashtriya Rifles, is the highest ranking Army official to have been killed in counter-insurgency operations in the last one year, the spokesman said.

Asian Age quoting Police sources in Chhattisgarh has reported that serious difference of opinion has arisen among the central and state committees of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) over forming suicide squads for use in future attacks. A senior Chhattisgarh Police official said that during interrogations of arrested Maoists it was found that a section of both the central and state committees felt since they were not a ‘fundamentalist’ outfit and forming suicide squads would not be "ideologically correct". At the same time, another section felt that the outfit could not ignore the "lethal success of suicide squads and (their) fearsome impact on the psyche of the Indian State and security forces".

four persons were killed and about 200 injured on August 25 as the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Army opened fire on protesters, who defied curfew and staged demonstrations, at several places in Kashmir, The Hindu reported. The authorities also detained secessionist leaders Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to stop them from marching to the Lal Chowk in the capital Srinagar to take out an "independence" rally. The deaths reportedly occurred in Handwara, Pulwama, Narbal and Hajin. As thousands of people from these areas took out processions to come here to take part in the rally, defying curfew, the CRPF and the Army tried to stop them by bursting teargas shells. Later, they opened fire. While a boy and a youth were killed in Narbal and Pulwama, a woman died in Handwara. A protester, who sustained injuries in Hajin, died later. Sub Divisional Police Officer of Sumbal, Harmeet Singh, said that in Hajin, militants sneaked into the crowd and opened fire at the cavalcade of the Deputy Commissioner of Bandipora.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which had been mandated by the Supreme Court to probe the alleged excesses committed by the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante programme) in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, has reportedly favoured the continuation of the movement, reports Economic Times. The Commission, which held detailed and on-the-spot investigation of the activities of the Salwa Judum members found that, barring a few stray cases of violence, there was nothing to suggest their direct involvement in atrocities on the civilian population. The NHRC further observed that the Chhattisgarh state government’s role is limited to providing security cover for the processions and meetings of the Salwa Judum and also to inhabitants of the temporary relief camps dotting the area. The Commission further said that many of the allegations against the Salwa Judum members are based on rumours and hearsay, and devoid of facts.

Indian intelligence agencies have recently found that the Pakistani external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), is importing additional currency-standard printing paper from companies located in London to print and circulate fake Indian currency notes (FICN), reports Times of India. Intelligence officials have pointed out that recent probes done in coordination with their counterparts in Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh have revealed that Pakistan has been procuring currency-standard printing paper in huge quantities from London-based companies — much higher than normal requirement of the country for printing its own currency — for diverting it to print FICN. Sources also pointed out that the ISI has been using state air-carrier Pakistan International Airlines to transport counterfeit currency to its conduits in Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This was revealed after two Nepali counterfeit currency traffickers who were arrested by Thailand police in October 2007. During interrogation, the accused disclosed that they were working for a prominent Nepali businessman who was the son of a former minister in King Gyanendra's regime. Recent arrests made in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh also pointed to Pakistan's connection in the circulation of FICN.

Terrorist groups backed by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) could use chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological weapons against India initiating a form of "super terrorism", warns a Union Home Ministry report, PTI reported. With the ISI spreading its tentacles in the country from Jammu and Kashmir to the south, the report spoke of active terrorist modules mushrooming in Bihar, Assam and West Bengal where the sleeper cells have been assigned with specific targets. In its section on terrorist groups and weapons of mass destruction, the report said "super terrorism in this perspective can be defined as projected future use of chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons by terrorist groups." The report said Indo-Nepal border in Bihar is being used for smuggling of arms, explosives, fake currency into the country, while the ISI was focusing on Uttar Pradesh to fund seminaries and recruit youngsters for subversive activities. South India too is an important part of the overall ISI game-plan since it is being targeted to recruit unemployed youths, the report stated. The report also mentions that the ISI is attempting to revive militancy in Punjab and form new anti-India groups in the State. While Maharashtra has been a victim of underworld gangs which have strong links with ISI, the report mentions that the ISI was also trying to liaison with the underworld in Gujarat and are using the coastal line for transporting arms and drug running operations. Terrorists may use aircraft, buses or other means which are commonly available to cause heavy casualties without having to go through the "rigorous" process of acquisition of technological capabilities as envisaged for the use of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons, it warns. It also says technology oriented terrorists camps could use explosive laden unarmed aerial vehicles at selected high value targets.
