"Operatives of several militant groups like LeT, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, JeM and HuJI [Harkat-ul-Mujahideen], are positioned along the LoC and making desperate attempts everyday to cross the border. There are eight to nine militants in each group who keep attempting to get a chance to sneak into our territory," he said. He also noted that once they fail to succeed at one place due to high alertness of Indian troops, they immediately move to other locations to make a fresh attempt. He further pointed out, "Pakistan Security Forces are clearly involved in supporting terrorist activities to create insecurity in Jammu and Kashmir, especially in Jammu region."

Asserting that Kashmir was an outstanding issue requiring a political solution, Chief Minister (CM) Omar Abdullah on October 6 said a dialogue process to address the external and internal dimensions needs to be started to resolve the matter. "It (Kashmir) is an outstanding issue which needs to be resolved. It is a political issue and cannot be addressed through development, employment or good governance only," Omar said winding up the two-day debate in the State Assembly on the prevailing law and order situation in Kashmir. Maintaining that separatists alone did not hold key to the resolution of the issue, he, however, said talks have to be initiated with them also. "It is an issue between India and Pakistan in which Jammu and Kashmir was getting smashed in between. An external dialogue process has also to be started," he said. The Chief Minister said nobody has been claiming that the talks should be focused on Kashmir only. "People from Jammu, Ladakh and Kargil, besides the Valley have to be involved in the settlement process and a solution acceptable to them and our neighbours (Pakistan) has to be found," he noted.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) called upon its cadres to repeat Dantewada like attack (in which 75 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed in Chhattisgarh in April 2010) as a counter offensive to the Operation Green Hunt taken up by the UPA Government to crush the Maoist movement in the Dandakaranya region. A report signed by spokesperson Abhay and released on October 4, said the Maoists had lost 1500 of their comrades after the formation of the party and 300 in the last one year. In all, 10,000 people died in the Naxal movement in the country, the report said. It stated that there was a qualitative change in counter-intelligence activities after UPA came to power for the second time. The party said the "War on People" in Andhra-Orissa, Telangana-Chattisgarh, Jharkhand-Orissa, Jharkhand-Bihar and Dandakaranya regions was influenced by the "War on Terror" unleashed by the US." The report also noted that though the movement had suffered some setbacks in Andhra Pradesh and north Chhattisgarh and north Orissa, it had many successes which compensated the loss and gave a boost to the self confidence of the cadres. According to the note, eight top most leaders, including Azad, were killed between May 2009 and June 2010 and another 10 state-level leaders were either killed or were put behind bars. The party listed the attacks of Singanamadugu, Tadimetla, Kongera (Chhattisgarh), Laheri (Maharashtra), Sankrail and Silda (Bengal), Gumla, Vishnupur, Latehar (Jharkhand) Tandwa Bazar (Bihar) as successful attacks and said all these incidents won the party the support of the revolutionary forces, intellectuals, democrats, progressive and patriotic forces.

A new phenomenon called 'legal infiltration' is causing concern among security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir as reports emerge that youths are visiting Pakistan on regular visas which are extended to facilitate their basic training in handling explosives and weapons, Times of India reports.

During interrogation, the youth, whose identity has not been revealed, told the investigators that there were other youths who were using the same modus operandi to get the training facility. In first week, a complete religious course is imparted after which assembling of assault rifles and detonating of grenades are taught. An unnamed senior official said LeT adopted this method and has been targeting educated unemployed youth in the Valley. "We have approached the immigration officials to keep a close tab on youth who extended their visas in Pakistan and the Gulf," the official said.

Army Chief General V. K. Singh said that infiltration bids from across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir have increased during the last two months, with around 25 such incidents being witnessed in which nearly 40 militants were killed during the period. To deal with the situation, the Army has evolved a strategy under which even if somebody manages to infiltrate the Indian Territory "he gets killed later on", he added. "As far as infiltration is concerned, we have controlled it to a large extent... In the last two months, there have been many attempts to infiltrate and we have achieved a lot of success also in this regard," he told reporters. He, however, did not give the figures preceding August. Talking about the last two months, he said, "we have had approximately 20-25 attempts and the total number of terrorists killed during this period has been about 35-40." Asked about reports suggesting that Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief Syed Salahuddin, along with officials of Pakistan Army and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), has been visiting terror camps situated along the LoC, General Singh said, "Salahuddin is on the other side... We are not worried with whom he goes around. If he tries to infiltrate, he would also be dealt within the same way his accomplices are."

It said all three interlocutors had done credible work in public life and brought with them a significant understanding of political and economic issues, specially in the context of Jammu and Kashmir. “The Government hopes that after interacting with all shades of political opinion they will suggest a way forward that truly reflects the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, specially youth,” the release added. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said, “We may add one more interlocutor later. We hope that they will begin a process of sustained uninterrupted dialogue with all sections of people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially with youths and students and all shades of political opinion." The terms and references of the panel will be to hold talks with all shades of opinion including mainstream political parties and separatists. The panel will cover views of all the three regions— Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir. The decision to begin a sustained dialogue and appoint interlocutors was taken on September 25 at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. It was part of the eight-point initiative announced by the Centre after an all-party parliamentary delegation, led by Chidambaram, visited Srinagar and Jammu on September 20 and 21. Meanwhile, the All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) rejected as a "futile exercise" the Centre’s appointment of interlocutors saying that no dialogue can be held for resolution of Kashmir issue unless the Centre acts on the five-point proposal mooted by him in August 2010 for normalisation of situation in the Valley. Separately, APHC-Mirwaiz termed the appointment as yet another non-serious initiative, adds The Hindu. “The Government should first identify the reason to appoint the interlocutors. The dialogue process is step two. Step one is that the ground realities should change first. Dialogue and oppression cannot go together, said the APHC-Mirwaiz chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, adding, that until the Government acted upon his party's four-point programme, the moderate Hurriyat will not enter into any dialogue. Daily Excelsior reports that the Government has constituted two Special Task Forces for Jammu and Ladakh regions to examine the allocations in terms of infrastructure needs and make suitable recommendations to overcome the deficiencies. While Abhijit Sen, a Planning Commission (PC) member, will be leading a Task Force on Jammu, Narendra Jadhav, another PC member, will be the chairperson of the team on Ladakh, an official notification said. It said the two Task Forces have been constituted keeping in view the immediate objectives to maintain peace and order and defuse the situation through confidence building measures. The decision on forming of three Task Forces was taken at a meeting of the CCS on September 25. The terms and references of the two Task Forces would be to identify the special development needs of the region and suggest measures to address them and to examine allocations to the regions in terms of infrastructure needs. They will make suitable recommendations to overcome the deficiencies. The Task Forces have been given three months to submit their reports.

Faced with the leadership crisis, decreasing number of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) cadres and lack of local support in many pockets of the Jammu and Kashmir, the terrorists have made a shift in their operational strategy while over 450-500 trained armed militants are reportedly waiting at the launching pads on that side along the Line of Control (LoC) in the South of Pir Panjal range, reported Daily Excelsior. "There has been a shift in the strategy of militants due to lack of considerable local support from the populace in the hinterland. They are not getting hideouts, food and shelter in the populated areas. Top terrorist leadership has been wiped out and the lower cadre is at the run. They have now changed strategy of mingling with the crowd and processionists, instigate them to resort to violence and stone pelting", General Officer Commanding (16 Corps) and Security Advisor Lieutenant General Rameshwar Roy said at Nagrota, near Jammu on October 13. The Corps Commander also said that the intra-organisational rivalries mostly between LeT and HM have also created problems for them in carrying on their activities. Both the outfits are unable to get new recruits and adequate support from the over ground workers or the local support. The recent spurt in violent crowd in parts of Poonch and Kashmir Valley gave sufficient inputs regarding mixing of such elements with the crowd and indulging in destruction of public property, attacks on forces and instigating youth to stoning, making them their soft targets. While referring to the impact of disturbances in Kashmir Valley, he said that it had a very little effect on this side of the Pir Panjal, which divides the Valley and Jammu region. The protests in Kashmir have disrupted the economy, tourism and other development activities, which otherwise was at peak during 2008, 2009 and first half of 2010. In reply to question he said as per intelligence inputs and intercepts nearly 450-500 trained armed terrorists are waiting to cross over to this side at the launching pads along the Line of Control (LoC) in south of Pir Panjal. There may be almost equal number of militants across the LoC on the north of Pir Panjal but these figures may not be accurate. When asked about the infiltration status in Jammu and Rajouri-Poonch sectors, he said that infiltration attempts have been increased but there was sharp decline in the terrorist violence. There was no let up in the anti-terrorist operations and since January 2010, nearly 227 militants have been eliminated along LoC and the interior areas in the State. He however, claimed that infiltration level was almost zero but in view of human error some times or mountainous topography of the area along LoC in Poonch and Rajouri, a few number may have been able to cross over to this side. When asked about the involvement of women in militancy, he said, "We do not have confirmation about them being active in terrorism but some of them may be working as over ground workers".

Indian Express reports that the Police and local administrations of Birbhum, Nadia and Murshidabad Districts submitted a report to the State Home Department requesting that some Police Stations in their Districts should be brought under the ambit of Left Wing Extremism-affected area considering the increased activities of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) there. According to the reports submitted by the State Police to State home department, eight Police Stations in Nadia, six Police Stations in Birbhum and three Police Stations in Murshidabad Districts have seen increased Maoist activities in recent months. Police sources said Dubrajpur and Khairashol Police Stations in Birbhum District, which have been mentioned as Maoist-affected areas, had always been a safe haven for the Maoists. “Several senior Maoists leaders, including Kalpana Ruidas, were arrested from the area,” said a senior Police officer. The report further states that the Maoists have formed a regional committee in Nadia and an area committee in Jalangi. There are over 30 members in the area committee. “The Maoists started setting up their base in the area after forming an outfit called Mazdoor Krishak Sangram Samity, which works like a frontal organisation of the Maoists much akin to the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) in West Midnapore,” said a senior Police officer. “As per the information we have gathered till now, the area committee is led by Prasanta Das alias Raja, a resident of Kotwali,” the officer added. “Das is the key person in the area who is strengthening the cadre’s base in Murshidabad and Nadia Districts. They have started spreading their influence in the colleges of the District,” the officer said.

The al Qaeda and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) had planed to carry out deadly attacks through ‘multiple shoot-outs' targeting the Commonwealth Games (CWG) village, sports venues and a five-star hotel in New Delhi specifically on October 12 and 13, reports Times of India. Al Qaeda and LeT had chosen these two dates for their strikes using terrorists trained in the region along Afghan-Pakistan border. The plan was to sneak in a number of jihadis simultaneously through India-Nepal or India-Bangladesh borders or from across the India's western border. There was also intelligence input that some others would come from West Asia, using legal channels through proper visas. Government sources said that a Western intelligence agency had tipped off India on October 10 about these specific plans. The Government had immediately enhanced the security of the Games venues and village from three layers to four and brought in additional forces, including armed commandos, to foil any attempt of sabotage even from air. "The input was very specific about the venues and suggested that the terrorists would probably come from West Asia, Nepal or from across India's western border," a source said. Security was also increased in all eight leading five-star hotels in Delhi. There was also information that the terrorists may use paragliders to reach the venues prompting authorities to put in place anti-aircraft guns. "Credentials of all foreign nationals arriving in international airports were checked one-by-one. Twenty Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) were deployed besides keeping ready a special team of 40 army and NSG commandos -- equipped with special weapons capable to shoot down paragliders from a distance -- near the sporting venues, including Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium," said the source. "Though the general threat still exists, the Delhi Police and other security agencies through their meticulous planning and deployment averted any strike specifically during the CWG," the source said. Sources said that the fresh inputs had nothing to do with what the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuJI) ‘commander’ and al Qaeda member Ilyas Kashmiri had threatened a month before the Games. "The latest plan was the brainchild of some other elements/modules within al-Qaeda and LeT," said a source.

The Rajasthan Police and Karnataka anti-terrorist squad (ATS) on October 15 arrested two alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants from Kasargod (Kerala) and Ajmer (Rajasthan) for their role in the 2008 blasts in Bangalore in which one person was killed and over a dozen people were injured, reported Times of India. The suspects were identified as Umar Farooq and Ibrahim Moulvi. "Umar was held in Ajmer and Ibrahim in Kasargod in Kerala," said Bangalore Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari. There were reports that an accomplice of Farooq was also caught in Ajmer, but it could not be confirmed. The Police have named 32 people in the chargesheet in the blasts case. Sources said Farooq was arrested from the railway station, where he had gone to receive a guest. Farooq and another suspect had been staying in Nala Bazaar area of Ajmer for two months and were under Karnataka ATS surveillance. Farooq is also accused of recruiting youth for militant activities in the Kashmir Valley. The case surfaced following the death of four Malayalee youth in an encounter with Security Forces in Kashmir. He is also said to be the key conspirator in the September 2005 case of burning of a bus belonging to the Tamil Nadu State Road Transport Corporation in Aluva near Kochi. This was to protest the TN Government's decision to oppose the bail plea of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Abdul Nasser Madani, who was then in jail for the 1998 Coimbatore serial blasts. Farooq belongs to Prappanangadi in Malappuram District. Police sources said Ibrahim Moulvi was arrested from Badiyadukka in Kasargod District, where he worked as a cleric in a mosque using a fake identity. Moulvi had also played a significant part with LeT south India operative T. Nasir in recruiting Malayalee youth for terror training across the border. Farooq and Moulvi are suspected to be linked to 26/11 plotter Tahawwur Hussein Rana through Sabir, a LeT operative believed to be hiding in the Gulf.

The wife of a key figure in the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) warned US federal agents three years beforehand that her husband was training with a Pakistani militant group, the Washington Post reported on October 15. Citing sources close to the case, the daily said the wife of David Coleman Headley warned Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents in August 2005 that her husband had undergone intensive training with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and was in contact with extremists. Headley's wife, who was not named in the report, called a terrorism hotline after getting into a fight with him in August 2008, the Post said. The FBI agents followed up, and interviewed her three times, the newspaper reported in a story co-authored with journalism foundation Pro Publica. She told agents that her husband "was an active militant in the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Toiba, had trained extensively in its Pakistani camps, and had shopped for night vision goggles," the Post reported. Despite the warning, Headley was able to continue moving freely, travelling to Pakistan, India, Dubai and Europe in 2006, gathering information and material that made the attack possible. US anti-terrorism agencies did warn Indian counterparts about a possible LeT plot to target Mumbai in 2008, but it was unclear whether the warnings were based on Headley's wife's tip-off two years earlier. Headley was reportedly also bragging about being a US Government informant before the attacks, telling his wife and others that he is working for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and FBI. Headley did work as an informant for the DEA in the 1990s when he was known by his birth name Daood Gilani and had been arrested for smuggling heroin from Pakistan. After a second arrest and more work for the agency, he went to Pakistan, where he became radicalized, the Post reported. Then, after the September 11, 2001 attacks, he began telling people he was working for a joint DEA-FBI project. But FBI officials told the Post they did not believe Headley, who changed his name in 2006, had ever worked for the FBI. Headley, the son of a former Pakistani diplomat and a white American woman, is being held in the United States. He confessed to plotting the attacks and in exchange for pleading guilty, US prosecutors agreed he would not face extradition to India or the death penalty.

With India insisting that it was time for Sri Lanka to act decisively to "win over" ethnic minority, President Mahinda Rajapakse on October 15 assured Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh that he would hold dialogue with a "broader spectrum" of stakeholders to address the Tamil issue, reports Times of India. The Sri Lankan leader told the PM that the country [Sri Lanka] was able to resettle over 2.5 lakh displaced civilians to their towns and villages in just 15 months after the end of the war and only 20,000 people are still lodged in camps. "… We indicated that... we want to talk to a broader spectrum of stakeholders as possible. That is the only way to do this, to get their ideas and to build a consensus," Sri Lankan Foreign Minister G. L. Peiris told reporters. Asked about the devolution of powers, Peiris said Sri Lanka was committed to implement the 13th amendment except one aspect of it and will continue to hold dialogue with all stakeholders.

Despite a probe by its defence authorities, Sri Lanka has found no evidence to suggest that its territory is being used by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to train terrorists, Times of India (TOI) reports. Sri Lankan Foreign Minister G. L. Peiris, who is on a four-day visit to India, on October 16 said that there is no merit in such claims. "The matter was brought to our notice. It was examined by our defence authorities but we have not found anything to establish it," Peiris told TOI, adding, that the two countries were involved in an intelligence sharing mechanism to prevent any such activity. As reported earlier, one of the accused in the Pune (Maharashtra) bakery blast case had said LeT operatives were being trained in Sri Lanka. Though the training was said to have taken place in an area close to Colombo, Sri Lankan authorities denied this citing heavy presence of Security Force personnel in the area.

According to Indian Express, in a bid to stage a comeback in Andhra Pradesh, especially in North Telangana, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have chalked out a plan to ignite the anti-Polavaram dam sentiments and the unrest over Telangana, which was revealed from the diaries, letters and literature recovered from two Maoist camps in Khammam District. This is the first time that conclusive proof has been found about the Maoists’ strategy in Andhra Pradesh. “The documents we recovered from two Maoist camps in Khammam District during anti-Maoist operations in the last one week [Ashwaraopet mandal (administrative unit), October 5 and Gollamadugu village in Velerpadu mandal, October 7] indicate that a high-level meeting of North Telangana Special Zonal Committee and CPI-Maoist leaders was held in Bijapur in the last week of August. One specific resolution was passed in this meeting: that they should intensify efforts to ‘re-establish their existence’ and ‘dominate’ in Khammam, Warangal and Karimnagar, and start an anti-Polavaram dam movement. This meeting was attended by dalam (squad) commanders of the three Districts besides leaders of Dandakaranya and Andhra-Orissa border,” said an official involved in anti-Maoist operations in Khammam.

Two of the three wives of Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley forewarned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11), the US media reported, according to The Hindu. Headley's American wife had given the FBI in New York a tip-off on his Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) links in 2005, while his Moroccan wife, Faiza Outalha, had told authorities in the US embassy in Islamabad, less than a year before the Mumbai attacks, that Headley was plotting a terror strike. Faiza Outalha, claims she even showed the US embassy officials in Islamabad a photo of Headley and herself in the Taj Mahal Hotel, where they stayed twice in April and May 2007. “Hotel records confirm their stay,” the New York Times (NYT) reported. Outalha said that in two meetings with officials at the US embassy in Islamabad, she told them that her husband had many friends who were known to be LeT members. “Despite those warnings by two of his three wives, Headley roamed far and wide on Lashkar'sbehalf between 2002 and 2009, receiving training in small-calibre weapons and counter surveillance, scouting targets for attacks, and building a network of connections that extended from Chicago to Pakistan's lawless north-western frontier,” NYT said. Meanwhile, Mike Hammer, spokesman of the National Security Council, White House, told PTI, “Had we known about the timing and other specifics related to the Mumbai attacks, we would have immediately shared those details with India.” He said the US “regularly provided threat information” to Indian officials in 2008 before the attacks in Mumbai, adding, “It is our Government's solemn responsibility to notify other nations of possible terrorist activity on their soil.” He made the remarks when asked about an investigative report on the Mumbai attacks published by Pro Publica, an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest.

Delhi could escape a major terror attack in 2009 when one of the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) terrorists from Rawalpindi in Pakistan, who tried to come in through the legal channel, was denied an Indian visa, Times of India reported on October 19. The terrorist was supposed to be in Delhi to carry out an attack on the National Defence College (NDC) at Tees January Marg -- a target recommended by Pakistani-American LeT operative David Coleman Headley to his bosses on the basis that a strike on the institution would have killed more Indian Army officers than those who died in all Indo-Pak wars put together. The NIA interrogation report quoted Headley as saying about the LeT's Delhi mission, "Abdur Rehman (Lashkar operative) told me that a man from Rawalpindi was ready to carry out the attack (in Delhi) but he had trouble to get visa for India." Referring to Rehman, Headley explained that the Rawalpindi man's visa application was turned down because "he had a long beard". "Abdur Rehman told him to shave his beard and he had reapplied for visa," the report said quoting Headley. During his interrogation, Headley, also disclosed Rehman's network in Nepal, which was activated to help the Rawalpindi man once he would reach Delhi for his mission. It appears from the interrogation report that the LeT operatives were more interested in attacking the NDC than other targets in Delhi. "I gave him (Abdur Rehman) the reconnaissance videos and we discussed each and every target in detail. I told Rehman that we could kill more Indian military officers in an attack on NDC than had been killed in all the wars between India and Pakistan," Headley told his interrogators, adding Rehman seemed to be more interested in attacking NDC. That Delhi was perilously close to being attacked by the LeT, figures in the disclosures Headley made to the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) interrogators, who questioned him in Chicago in June 2010. In his statement to the NIA, Headley essentially repeated what he had earlier told the US's Federal Bureau of Investigation. As reported earlier, Headley had recceed several targets in Delhi -- the Sena Bhawan, Raksha Bhawan, Vice-President's residence, Israeli embassy and Chabad House in Paharganj area.

Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, who confessed to surveying targets for the attacks that left 166 people dead, made detailed claims about support from the ISI, said Britain's Guardian newspaper. Headley described dozens of meetings between officers of the ISI and senior militants from Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), said the paper, citing a 109-page Indian Government report into his interrogation. Guardian said Headley claimed the ISI was attempting to strengthen militant organisations with links to the Pakistani State which were being marginalised by more extreme groups. Headley claimed that at least two of his missions were partly paid for by the ISI and that he regularly reported to the spy agency, said the British daily. "The ISI... had no ambiguity in understanding the necessity to strike India," Headley is cited as telling the Indian investigators, who reportedly interviewed him over 34 hours in the US in June. The documents suggest, however, that the ISI's supervision of the militants was often chaotic and that most senior officers in the agency may have been unaware of the scale of the attacks before they were launched, added the paper. Headley, who changed his name from Daood Gilani, confessed to his role in plotting the attacks after being arrested in the US. In exchange for pleading guilty to the attacks, US prosecutors agreed he would not face extradition to India or the death penalty.

The newly appointed three-member panel of interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir on October 19 said a comprehensive and political settlement of the Kashmir dispute through largest possible consultations with all sections of opinion tops its agenda, according to Times of India. "The tight focus will be for seeking a political outcome so that we put this dispute well and truly behind us," said senior journalist Dileep Padgaonkar, who along with academician Radha Kumar and information commissioner M. M. Ansari, met Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram. Padgaonkar said the Home Minister gave an extensive idea of the mandate for the group. "The mandate, to put very simply, is that our group will hold the largest possible consultations with all sections of opinion in Jammu and Kashmir and the focus of this dialogue is to seek as large area of agreement as you can to get to arrive at a comprehensive, political settlement of the Kashmir dispute," he explained. He said, the panel's approach and focus will be a political one, and "we will, therefore, be engaging with opinion leaders, political leaders, civil society groups and others in order to carry forward this dialogue". "We will be talking also to the political leaders who were part of the all-party delegation to J&K and get a sense of how they assessed the situation. Armed with these wide consultations from the basis of what we learn, we shall then proceed to Srinagar," Padgaonkar said. The team is likely to make its first trip to Srinagar next week. The group of three interlocutors will have a mandate of one year and hold consultations with all sections of opinion in the three regions of Jammu and Kashmir – Ladakh, Jammu and the Kashmir Valley, adds The Hindu.

The two-day standoff between Army troops and an injured militant holed up inside a mosque in the Bandipora District ended in the morning of October 19 as the militant was found dead, taking the toll in encounter to two. "The militant, who had taken refuge inside a mosque in Barzulla area of Bandipora District, was found dead inside the religious place this morning by the village elders," a senior Police official said. He said the militant might have died due to excessive blood loss through the injuries he had sustained during the initial gunfight on October 18. The slain militant was identified as Abu Qitaal of LeT and was a self styled ‘district commander’ of the outfit. As reportedly earlier, another ‘divisional commander’ of the outfit, Abu Dawood, was shot dead by the SFs in the early exchange of firing between the two sides on October 18. Both the slain militants are suspected to be Pakistani nationals.

Anti- India terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan is intact and currently 42 terror camps, including new ones in Pak-occupied Kashmir (PoK), are being run, Army Chief Gen V. K. Singh disclosed on October 21, according to PTI. "Currently, 42 terrorist training camps are located in Pakistan/PoK. Inputs reveal that some new camps have also been established in PoK for undertaking terrorist training," he said in an interview. Pakistan has "invested heavily in the proxy war against India" and there has been "no substantial effort" by it to act against terror groups which operate from its soil and are used as a "strategic tool" by that country. Noting that Pakistan perceives Kashmir as an "unfinished agenda", he said, adding, "It is assessed that Pakistan will continue to foster terrorism against India and the terrorist infrastructure is likely to remain intact in the foreseeable future." Now even women are being trained to wage Pakistan's proxy war against India. General Singh said infiltration has gone up recently and around 600 terrorists are waiting at "launch pads" in PoK along the Line of Control (LoC) and international border to sneak into India. "Launch pads are used extensively for infiltration into Jammu and Kashmirand are located all along the Line of Control and parts of International Border," he said, adding "As on date, approximately 600 terrorists are located in the launch pads, poised for infiltration in the near future." Talking about infiltration, he said it has recently gone up, with 10 incidents being recorded in June, six in July and 33 in August. General Singh felt that about 20-25 infiltration attempts had succeeded, which is indicated by the fact that 12 to 15 terrorists were killed in the last 15-20 days. "This shows people have come from somewhere," he said. Significantly, August witnessed the peak of stone-pelting incidents and other forms of agitation in the Kashmir Valley, which also was being fuelled from across the border. To a question on cease-fire violations by Pakistan in the recent months along the LoC and International Border, he said these are "generally in few specific areas and we are trying to ensure that these remain confined as also reduce altogether." He said the ceasefire has generally been holding out except for a "few aberrations".

India wants a new security architecture, "an open, balanced and inclusive" one that corresponds to the security challenges of the 21st century, which are "radically different" from the last century, reports Times of India. "Nuclear confrontation or war between the major powers is not as likely as the threat from derivatives of nuclear deterrence, namely terrorism and nuclear proliferation, which are being used to subvert the emergence of a plural, secular and democratic international order in the 21st century," said National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon. Speaking at the National Defence College's golden jubilee celebrations on October 21, Menon said the challenges of a globalised world cannot be handled by 20th century military alliances or containment strategies. "We have made it clear that while we need nuclear weapons for our own security, it's our goal to work for a world free of nuclear weapons, and that we are ready to undertake the necessary obligations to achieve that goal in a time-bound programme," he added.

The CPI-Maoists have called for a 48-hour bandh (general shutdown) across the Dandakaranya region on October 22 and 23 to protest against the formation of the Dandakaranya Shanti Sangarshan Samiti (DKSSS) on October 2, 2010. In a statement mailed to the correspondent of The Hindu, the CPI (Maoist) stated that while businesses in the region were expected to stay shut for the 48-hour period, the bandh would not affect schools or hospitals. While the leaders of the DKSSS describe their organisation as a Gandhian pressure group fighting for peace in the conflict-ridden State of Chhattisgarh, the Maoists has termed it a “fascist avatar of the Salwa Judum” and has called for its immediate dissolution. ‘Dandakaranya' is an archaic geographical term referring to Bastar District, Gadchiroli in Maharashtra, and parts of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh, and is frequently used to describe the central Indian region currently controlled by the banned (CPI-Maoist).

The Rajasthan Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) on October 21 arrested three suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, Babu alias Nishachandra Ali of Bikaner, Arun Jain of Nagaur and Hafiz Abdul Majid of Jhalawar, allegedly involved in luring youths in terror activities and sending them to Pakistan for training, reported Times of India. They were under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act 1967. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the LeT ‘commanders’ based in Pakistan were planning to carry out anti-India activities through the Indians trained as terrorists on Pakistani soil, according to an official release of Criminal Investigation Department. The anti-India activities included bomb explosions, circulation of counterfeit Indian currency, smuggling of arms and ammunition, fuelling communal riots and violence in the country and also working to ensure release of Pakistani terrorists from Indian prisons. During the course of investigations it has also come to light that the imprisoned Pakistani terrorists used to take other jailed Indian criminals into their confidence and involve them in terror activities. After their release, these criminals used to indulge in terrorist activities on the directives of the LeT ‘commanders’ of Pakistan, the release said. During the probe, it was also found that Pakistani spy Asgar Ali, who is being held in Jodhpur jail, used to lure Indian inmates to undergo training in Pakistani training camps and perpetrate terror in the country on the behest of Pakistan-based LeT ‘commander’ Wahid alias Vikki Bhai. Among those who were lured by Asgar were Nisha Chandra Ali and Arun Jain. Both Ali and Jain had direct interaction with Vikki and plans were afoot to hand over huge quantity of counterfeit Indian currency to both of them, the release said. Efforts were made to obtain Indian passports for Ali and Jain and send them to Pakistan. However, as a number of criminal cases were pending against both of them, the passports were not issued, the release said. Plans were also made to send both of them to Pakistan through Nepal but it could not materialise, the release added. However, the LeT ‘commanders’ were successful in inducting Hafiz Abdul, who used to teach in a madrassa (seminary).

Police arrested Cecelia Guriya alias Rupa aka Monica Dang (22), in a shuttle taxi ferrying passengers at Satranji 15 kilometers away from the State capital Ranchi, reports Telegraph. Cecelia is said to be the girlfriend of Maoist ‘zonal commander’ Kundan Pahan. "She hailed from Pinding in Khunti and joined the Maoist fold seven years ago. She trained at Saranda and then worked with Maoist ‘sub-zonal commander’ Prasad in Rania. When Pahan met and fell in love with her, she was sent to work in Bundu-Tamar in January. He then sent her for computer training at an institute in Khunti to make her a cadre of the Maoists’ technical cell," Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar said. Cecelia, who had been living in a rented house at Bahu Bazar for the last three months, was assigned the task of helping Maoists get proper medical treatment in city hospitals. She was also responsible for receiving Maoist leaders coming from different parts of the country for organisational work in the State, Kumar added. Further, Police recovered 30 rounds of ammunition which Cecelia was taking them to Pahan for test-firing and a letter from arrested CPI-Maoist politburo member Amitabh Bagchi.

The Government apprehends that Pakistan-based terror groups may try to replicate Chhittisinghpora-type attack on civilians and put the blame for such an incident on the Indian Army to attract global attention to Kashmir in run-up to US President Barack Obama's visit to India (November 6-8). Union Home Secretary G K Pillai said on October 27: "We do believe that the visit of US President to India is, shall I say from the publicity point of view, large enough to try and create something even if it is not in any place nearby where President Obama would be. But it could be somewhere else and therefore we would take all precautions." "That's the type of fear that we have that innocent civilians will be killed and then the blame would be put, like the last time, on the Indian Army. All indications are that the propaganda machinery would be out to do the same. Therefore, we are being careful," Pillai told a TV news channel. Asked whether he sees it as an attempt to internationalise the Kashmir issue during Obama's visit, the Home Secretary said: "I don't think it is a question of internationalising as such because Americans have made their position very clear. But definitely they would like to try and at least the militants would like to see if they can have any spectacular incident which they could then get world-wide attention on." Pillai, however, made it clear that the Indian agencies do not have any specific intelligence about such an attack. He was replying to a question on whether he apprehended the kind of attack India witnessed during former US President Bill Clinton's visit in March 2000. The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists in Indian Army fatigues, led by the outfit's ‘commander’ Muzammil, had killed 35 Sikhs in March 2000. The role of Muzammil in the Chhittisingpora incident was also revealed by Pakistani-American LeT David Coleman Headley to the NIA during his questioning in Chicago in June.
