Pakistan-based terrorist groups, particularly the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), are increasingly depending on "surrogate bases" in Bangladesh, Nepal and the Middle East for movement of trained cadres and finances for their operations, indicated the Union Home Ministry, Kashmir Times reported. A home ministry document, based on intelligence inputs, said the Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), linked to the JeM and LeT, is recruiting Indian youths, sending them to Pakistan for training and re-inducting them via Bangladesh to carry out terrorist attacks. "This is evident from the Mumbai local train serial bomb blasts in which 11 Pakistanis infiltrated through the Indo-Nepal border in Bihar, Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal and Indo-Pakistan border in Gujarat," the report said. Noting that cross-border terrorism was no longer Jammu and Kashmir-centric, the document said it has spread its tentacles to the hinterland. "The terrorist outfits are well-organised, inter-linked and have the latest hardware and work under the directions of Pakistan's ISI," it said. The report said terrorist groups carry out their activities in the hinterland beyond the known theatres of violence to make "greater impact" and get wider publicity. The essential components of the strategy of jehadi groups include well-calibrated violence against soft targets to create terror, undermining the economic and scientific prowess of the country, subverting Indian Muslim youths and provoking communal tensions with the help of local elements. Supplying hardware through land and sea routes and maintaining a continuous flow of finances to sustain the jehadi network are some other components. Sleeper cells and modules exist in certain parts of the country and were activated when required, the report said. During 2004-06, as many as 669 terrorist modules were neutralized and plans to target vital installations like the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and IT companies were foiled, the report said.

Sri Lanka has said that it did not consider that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) could pose an aerial threat to India. Military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe stated on May 8 that the authorities have not even discussed the possibility of the LTTE using their aircraft to bomb any location in India, adding, "We certainly have had no discussions on anything like that." Earlier on May 7, Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary Palitha Kohona had warned that the air wing of the LTTE poses a threat to India's nuclear installations, saying, "There is an air threat which has a range of 200-300 nautical miles, and this range brings within it not only cities within Sri Lanka, shipping in the Indian Ocean, but also the nuclear installations of India."

The Centre said on May 8 that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has been building up a women cadre by imparting arms training to them at its camps in Pakistan, according to Daily Excelsior. Available reports suggest that LeT is running training camps in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) for imparting arms training to its women cadre, Union Minister of State for Home, Sriprakash Jaiswal, told the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament). In a written answer, he said there was continued involvement of Pakistan and Pakistan-based terrorist outfits like the LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in terrorist violence in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India. "They were using and leveraging the existing infrastructure of terror in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and other parts of Pakistan," he said. The minister informed that besides continuing infiltration across the India-Pakistan border, there had been incidents where Pakistan and PoK based terrorist outfits had also infiltrated into India through the India-Bangladesh and India-Nepal borders for subversive activities. In this context, Jaiswal cited the twin bomb blasts in Varanasi in March 2006 in which terrorists entered India via the India-Bangladesh border and Mumbai local train serial bomb blasts in July 2006 in which terrorists —two from India-Nepal, four from India-Pakistan and five from India-Bangladesh border — infiltrated into India.

According to Times of India, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on May 9 called on democratic organisations and the oppressed masses to "build a strong, united and militant movement to stop fake encounters, illegal arrests, torture and atrocities against people by police, para-military and the Army." Reacting to the alleged fake encounter killing of gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausar Bi in Gujarat, the CPI-Maoist central committee spokesperson Azad, in a release issued on May 9 said: "The brutal murder of Sohrabuddin and his wife in November, 2005, in Ahmedabad after arresting them from a private bus in Hyderabad is only the tip of the iceberg of the cruel deeds and inhuman acts of the lawless police system in India." "The arrest of the three police officers, including deputy inspector-general of police D G Vanzara and two superintendents of police, Raj Kumar Pandian (Gujarat) and Dinesh Kumar (Rajasthan), and their suspension, are a mere eye-wash," the release added. "The AP [Andhra Pradesh] police are even more notorious than their Gujarat counterparts in staging fake encounters. They have committed the worst atrocities during the Congress rule under former chief ministers, including Jalagam Vengal Rao, Nedurmalli Janardhan Reddy and now Y S Rajasekhara Reddy," he claimed.

The Communist Party of Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have reportedly threatened to 'teach a lesson' to the former chief ministers of Jharkhand, Arjun Munda and Babulal Marandi, and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) party chief, Shibu Soren, for suppressing their 'revolutionary movement'.

"This is the first time Maoists have issued a threat to politicians through an audiocassette," an unnamed police official told IANS on May 11. Voiced by Sukhdeo, the committee's secretary, the tape allegedly says: "A conspiracy is hatched to suppress the CPI-Maoist revolutionary movement by the leaders. These leaders will be taught lesson like Sunil Mahto." Sunil Kumar Mahto, a JMM parliamentarian from Jamshedpur, was killed by the Maoists on March 4, 2007.

On May 15, the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil informed the Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament) that Naxalites (left-wing extremists) were working in close coordination with some terrorist outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and also maintain links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of Sri Lanka, reports Times of India. "Though the government has no documentary evidence of any memorandum of understanding signed between international terror outfits with naxalites in the country, we have enough information suggesting that there is coordination between them", he said. Patil said it was difficult for the government to interfere in security matters in some States as the dispensation there did not take it very kindly. He said the government had provided unmanned aerial vehicles to anti-Naxalite paramilitary forces deployed in Chhattisgarh, which has so far only been used by the Army to gather intelligence on movement of the extremists.

On May 18, the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court sentenced five persons, Yashwant Bhoinkar, Abbas Dawood Shekhdare, Shahajahan Ibrahim Shekhdare, Rashid Alware and Sharif Khan Abbas Adhikari, who smuggled a contraband of explosives, to three-year rigorous imprisonment and fined INR 25,000 each, in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. In default, they will have to undergo another six-month imprisonment. The court found them guilty under Section 111 read with 135 (b) of the Customs Act. Two of the sentenced, Alware and Adhikari, have already undergone imprisonment for more than three years during trial and they will be released on payment of the fine. Later, defence counsel Subhash Kanse made an application on behalf of Alware and Adhikari for a smaller fine as they had served nearly three months more than the awarded sentence. This plea was accepted by Judge P. D. Kode. The judge also ordered a show-cause notice to owners of the trawlers, used to ferry the contraband from the high seas to Shekhadi in Raigad district, asking them why the boats should not be seized.

Ten people were killed and over 50 others injured in a powerful bomb blast at the Mecca Masjid (Mecca mosque) near Charminar in Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, on May 18, according to The Hindu. Over 10,000 people were offering prayers at the 400-year-old mosque at 1.15 p.m. when the bomb exploded. Police sources said that the explosive device, in which RDX was used, was triggered with a cellular phone and was hidden underneath a thick marble platform. Two more improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were recovered from the site and later defused by the police. Police also found a SIM card from a mobile phone attached to an IED. Four more people were killed subsequently in police firing as mobs clashed with the police. Sporadic incidents of arson and attacks continued in many areas till late in the night. No organisation has, so far, claimed responsibility for the attack, even though police suspect the involvement of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Balwinder Singh, Police Commissioner of Hyderabad, told CNN-IBN, "It was a terrorist attack. Jehadi hand is not ruled out behind the attack. Investigations are on and the police have managed to lay their hands on some clues."

According to authenticated reports, 80 militants infiltrated into Indian territory from across the Line of Control (LoC) in April 2007 after snow started melting by first week of the month. In May 2007 (so far), 40 militants have intruded successfully taking the total number of infiltrators from April 1 to till date to 120. Nearly 130 militants have been killed by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir so far in 2007. The number of infiltrators was nearly at par with the militants eliminated this year, sources said, adding this was part of the strategy of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to push an equal number of militants as killed by the security forces in different encounters into Jammu and Kashmir. As far as arms dumps were concerned, militants were reported to have sufficient number of arms, ammunition and explosives with them especially in the Kashmir valley besides Doda, Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu region. Recently, some arms dumps had reportedly been unearthed in Kupwara by security agencies.

Investigating agencies looking into the May 22 serial bomb blasts at Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh have ruled out the use of RDX in the incident, reports The Hindu. Principal Secretary (Home) K. Chandramouli informed the media that the blasts were caused by low intensity bombs kept in tiffin boxes attached to three new cycles, bought from different shops. He also said ammonium nitrate might have been used in the crude bombs. The crude bombs were battery-charged and there was no proof to suggest whether a timer device was used as trigger. He said that police had traced one of the shops from where the cycles were bought and efforts were on to trace the others. Chandramouli further said that no conclusion could be drawn regarding involvement of particular persons as the investigations were in the preliminary stage.

Though the armed forces were always vigilant, he said, "Equally, we have the wisdom and the courage to say that the only lasting solution to any political or bilateral dispute is one that is negotiated through dialogue and discussion, and is arrived at honourably and to the satisfaction of all." Releasing the book "1965 War: The Inside Story" by the former Governor, R. D. Pradhan, Dr. Singh said, "There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that we are prepared and determined to deal with any threat to our national security in the appropriate manner. Our armed forces are always ready to deal with any such challenge." Pradhan worked as private secretary under the then Defence Minister Y.B. Chavan during the 22-day war and the book is largely based on the Minister's hand-written diaries, and analyses through these writings of the attitude and behaviour of politicians and military officials during the crisis, PTI reported.

Tulshiram Dhondu Surve, employed as a watchman at the Wangani Microwave tower, was sentenced to nine years' rigorous imprisonment (RI) and was asked to pay a fine of INR 55,000 on two counts of abetting a terrorist act, one under TADA, and the other for intentional omission in giving information about the offence under Indian Penal Code. Uttam Potdar was sentenced to ten years' RI for his role as the landing agent in the Dighi operations of January 9, 1993, where no RDX landed. Potdar was also sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment as enhanced punishment under section 6 of TADA and was also fined INR 150,000. Both terms will run concurrently. Mohammed Kasim Lajpuria alias Mechanic Chacha, a 62-year-old aide of one of the prime absconding accused Mohammed Dossa, was given ten years' for his role as an operational landing agent. Sajjad Alam, a rickshaw driver who helped in the landing at Shekhadi and also ferried some arms and ammunition to key convict Tiger Memon, was awarded seven years in jail and a fine of INR 50,000.

The Congress party-led Jammu and Kashmir Government has reportedly informed the Centre that it was unable to carry out any reduction of security forces in the State amid growing threats from the militants to disrupt political activities besides targeting vital installations, PTI reported. This was conveyed at a meeting chaired by Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt in which officials from the Army, para-military forces and Central intelligence agencies were also present. The Defence Secretary is chairing an expert panel constituted by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on March 30 to carry out an in-depth assessment of the situation and also determine whether there is any need to relocate and reconfigure security forces. The meeting decided to examine if security forces could be relocated from some orchards, hospital and Government schools but was against any reduction from civilian areas as the State Government had pointed out that political activities had started picking up in view of Legislative Assembly elections in 2008. Suggestions of the panel would be submitted to a high-powered committee chaired by Defence Minister A. K. Antony and comprising representatives of the Central and State Governments.

The Terrorist & Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on May 29 sentenced seven persons convicted for their role in 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, reports The Hindu. Zameer Sayyed Ismail Kadri, an associate of absconding accused Mohammed Dossa, was sentenced to life imprisonment and also directed to pay a fine of INR 125000 by the court. Judge P. D. Kode observed that he had close connections with Dossa and was involved in facilitating in the landing of arms and ammunition at the Dighi Coast on January 9, 1993. The court held that no leniency deserved to be shown to Kadri since he tried to conceal the weapons much after the blasts and was absconding after a proclamation notice was issued against him. Former Assistant Commissioner of Customs at Alibaug, R. K. Singh, was sentenced to nine years' rigorous imprisonment (RI) and told to pay a fine of INR 300,000 for allowing the landing of explosives and arms at the Dighi and Shekhadi Coasts after accepting a bribe. Former customs officer Sudhanwa Talavdekar, who was superintendent at Alibaug, was sentenced to eight-year RI and a fine of INR 200,000. The judge said Talavdekar’s conversation with the main accused on the nature of the goods in the contraband "made a mockery of the law and order system." The former customs superintendent Sultan Sayyad was sentenced to seven-year RI and a fine of INR 100,000, and the former customs inspector Jaywant Gurav was sentenced to eight- year RI and a fine of INR 100,000. Ehsaan Mohammad Qureshi and Ayub Ibrahim Qureshi, found guilty of illegal possession of arms and ammunition, were sentenced to five-year RI and a fine of INR 25,000 each. While Ehsaan was absolved of the conspiracy charge, Ayub was convicted under Sections 3 (3) and 5 of the TADA Act and under the Arms Act. An illegal weapon was recovered from them, but only in April 1993, long after the serial blasts. Hence they were awarded the minimum sentence under the Arms Act. So far, the court has pronounced sentence on 43 of the 100 persons convicted in the case.

Vijay Gupta, the Vice-President of Kamrup Chamber of Commerce and a member of the recently formed Co-ordination Committee of Different Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce (CCDTACC), accused the ULFA for designing a plan to replace the Hindi-speaking labourers with that of Bangladeshi migrants at the behest of the Pakistani external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in the State. He informed that "In 1960, around 10 per cent of the total population in Guwahati were Hindi-speaking labourers. However, the current percentage of Hindi-speaking labourer population has gone down to mere 8 per cent, where it should have been increased." The violence triggered by the ULFA against the Hindi speaking migrants has forced them to flee.
