Speaking at a seminar in Cuttack on March 1, the Supreme Court Judge Justice Arijit Pasayat said that proper implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) would uplift the socio-economic status of rural poor and eliminate problems of terrorism and left-wing extremist activities in the country, reports PTI. “Terrorism and Naxal (left-wing extremist) organisations target unemployed youths of rural areas to fill their rank and file.

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. Nepal was chosen for exchanging the maps because it was a rendezvous point for the LeT, said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria, adding, with no visa restrictions on the entry of Indians into Nepal, it was a convenient transit venue for the outfit’s activities. 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. The latter in turn passed them on to LeT operatives, identified as Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Abu Kaahfa. The chargesheet states: “Both the arrested accused, viz. Fahim Mohammed Yusuf Ansari and Sabahuddin, were in constant touch with each other through e-mail messenger. Sabahuddin is termed as a very important functionary of the LeT in India.”

Two AK-56 rifles with 17 live rounds of ammunition, one lethod gun with two shells, a 9mm pistol with two live rounds of ammunition and two Chinese hand grenades were recovered from the possession of the slain militants. The Superintendent of Police of Imphal East District, Th.

Sarfaraz, who hails from Ernakulam in Kerala, was earlier arrested by the Research and Analysis Wing (R and AW) from Muscat in Oman on March 3. He was sent to Police custody till March 14. According to Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari, Sarfaraz collected about INR 320000 from like-minded people ahead of the bomb blasts.

Rehan, a key member of LeT. We are sure that some more men will be picked up based on information provided by him,” the Commissioner said. Sarfaraz reportedly completed a three-year course (1995-98) at Nadwat-ul-Ulema (Institute of Islamic Scholarship) in Lucknow and joined as office secretary at the SIMI head office in New Delhi in 2000.

Times of India quoting Special Task Force (STF) sources reported on March 8 that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has opened a new wing to create unrest in India’s Northeast and the Districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. This was discerned after interrogation of a LeT militant, identified as Abu Taher, who was arrested from the Sealdah station in Kolkata, capital of West Bengal, on March 6, a senior STF officer said. "The Lashkar-e-Toiba had opened a new wing named Tanzeen-e-Mohammedi, especially to create unrest in Northeast and the Districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. Abu Taher was specially deputed by the LeT to develop a strong organisation for the purpose," the officer said. "Taher got the funding from Abdul Karim Tunda, the Pakistan based LeT operative who came to Kolkata to recruit people for his organisation," he added. Speaking on the antecedents of Taher, the officer said he was not only involved in the November 26 Mumbai terrorist attacks, but also had links with several serial bomb blasts across the country in 2008. According to STF sources, Tunda paid INR 50,000 to Taher for his job apart from funding for the organisational purpose. Taher had reportedly recruited nearly 30 persons from the Bangladesh bordering Districts of North 24-Parganas, Coochbehar, Malda, North and South Dinajpur, Murshidabad and Nadia, the STF source said. "We have definite proof that he was not only involved in the blast in Guwahati, but also had a plan to conduct a series of blasts in the North-Eastern states," the source added. Two passports, including one of Bangladesh and one of Pakistan, were recovered from Taher.

Two civilians, identified as trader Sanatan Das (27) and Akhil Adhikary (58), were killed and at least 17 others were injured when a powerful bomb strapped to a bicycle exploded at a busy marketplace in the Alipurduar town of Jalpaiguri District on March 18, reports Indian Express. Police suspected the involvement of Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) - its “10th batch trained in Bangladesh - and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in the blast to destabilize North Bengal before the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) election, adds Times of India. “The blast was feared because KLO has been regrouping for the past few months,” said an intelligence officer. The District Superintendent of Police also admitted that the KLO could be behind the attack. “The outfit has recruited more than 200 cadres in the last few months and trained them in Bangladesh in 10 batches,” said a Crime Investigation Department official.

Giving details of the operation, he said contact was initially established at three places - two in general area Drangyari in Shamsabari ridge of Chowkibal and another in Haphruda forest. "The operation is still in progress as searches are being conducted in the area. Although majority of the terrorists have been killed, the remnants, if any, will also be eliminated," he said adding the number of infiltrating militants as per the intelligence input was close to the number killed in the operation. He said there was no exchange of fire in the area since the evening of March 25 and only combing operation was going on. The cache of arms and ammunition recovered from the site of operation included 23 AK 47 rifles, 17 grenades, three UBGLs, 10 radio sets of various makes, two GPS equipments, water bottles, maps, snow gear, ice axes, rations, jihadi literature, medicine and some Indian currency. The officer refuted claims by the LeT that 30 soldiers were killed in the gun battle that lasted over five days. He said "We have lost eight of our soldiers. The rest of the information is not true." Brigadier Singh also said infiltration at this time of the year was expected as the snow starts melting along the LoC. According to him, "We have inputs that a large number of militants are waiting across the LoC to cross over to this side. We are prepared to deal with them." He added that at present around 300 to 400 militants were active in the Valley.

According to Express Buzz, the Union Government has alerted the Kerala State Police of the possible infiltration of about 15 cadres of the Bangladesh-based Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) outfit into India through the southern sea shores by the end of March 2009. ‘‘The message came from the Ministry of Home Affairs and we had immediately alerted all the agencies concerned, including the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Enforcement,’’ said a top Police officer. According to intelligence inputs received by the State intelligence wing, about 30 suspected JMB militants, aged less than 28, have landed in Negombo area of Sri Lanka recently. About 10 to 15 of these cadres were reportedly located in Udappuwa, about 40 kilometres north of Negombo. The leader of the group is said to be Moosa Jaleel alias Ravi, a narcotic smuggler, who was providing logistic support to the group in Sri Lanka. Jaleel is also known to be operating from Kerala and Tamil Nadu coasts.’ ‘‘These 10 to 15 cadres were likely to land on Indian shores shortly, commencing their voyage from Negombo. The initial boarding as well as landing along the Indian coast is likely to be using fishing boats. Another group, allegedly associated with the group, was located in Hyderabad and Mumbai,’’ stated an earlier security alert on March 20.
