Close on the heels of the video propaganda by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Roopesh through the media, warning of an armed struggle, the Maoist group functioning in the State is strengthening its presence through local recruitment, reports New India Express on October 2. Police doubt that the Maoist group has recruited around 50 persons recently and most of them are from various places in Malabar. Intelligence sources have got information that the Maoist organisation here has brought clothes to stitch around 50 more uniforms for the armed group. Police believe that the new uniforms are for the members of the newly-formed Maoist wings, known as ‘Dhalam’, based at Nilambur and Attappadi. Police suspect that Maoist leader Sinoj died during the training in bomb-making for the newly recruited members. “Maoists usually form a ‘Dhalam’ with 11-15 members. So we can reach the assumption that they have recruited fighters numbering 30 to form two more wings in the state, apart from the one, ‘Kabani Dhalam’, which is already functioning in Wayanad. The Intelligence officials have got information that the total recruitment will be around 50.

The Bihar Government has decided to recruit Police Women from the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category and deploy them in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) infested zones as part of a two-pronged strategy to provide employment to tribal women and check Maoist menace, reports The Deccan Herald on October 2. A proposal to this effect has been forwarded by the Police Headquarters to the State’s Home Department wherein it was suggested that since tribal women were hard-working and well-versed with the topography of the difficult terrain, it would be advisable to create a separate battalion of tribal policewoman. The Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, recently approved the proposal following which around 1,000 tribal woman cops would be recruited, trained and initially posted for maintaining law and order. After they successfully complete their initial assignment, they would be placed in Champaran and Jamui, the two Maoist districts.

Ansar-ut-Tawheed (AuT), an ultra-religious offshoot of banned Indian Mujahideen (IM), has pledged allegiance to the terrorist group Islamic State (IS) and its self-styled caliph Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi threatening major attacks in India, reports Hindustan Times on October 5. In a video released through its official media outlet, AuT’s ideologue and chief Abdul Rehman Nadvi Al-Hindi announced the group’s decision of getting under the IS umbrella. AuT is in its nascent stage and has evolved under Tehreek-e-Taliban, Pakistan, focusing primarily on waging jihad in India. It is the fourth group in Southeast Asia after Abu Sayyaf group of Philippines, Jamaah Islamiyyah of Indonesia and Al-Tawheed Batallion of Afghanistan-Pakistan region, to have given allegiance to the IS. Nadvi, in the video, alleged United States (US), India, Saudi Arabia, Australia, France, Canada and a few other countries were forming an axis of evil. Vowing to create Islamic State in India, Nadvi said: “The Ummah (community) could not afford to lose this battle, as it will mean subjugation forever.” Nadvi is believed to be leading the pack of old IM leaders, mostly from Azamgarh District of Uttar Pradesh, who had moved to Pakistan after the Batla House encounter in Delhi.

Border Security Force (BSF) and Police recovered Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) of INR 184,000 in the denominations of INR 1000 at Tlabung Market in Demagiri in Lunglei District on October 4 and arrested two smugglers identified as Chandalay Chakma and Taranga Mohan Chakma, reports The Sentinel. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of BSF Satish Budakoti stated that FICN was brought from Bangladesh to Demagiri in order to take them to the interior areas for making use of them and put in circulation in the open market, taking advantage of the simplicity and ignorance of the inhabitants. The INR 1,000 FICN fetches INR 700, giving the smugglers an advantage of Rs 300 against each FICN. On the trail of fake currency note circulation, intelligence agencies have learnt that Indian agents have to take the cattle in high demand in Bangladesh as a barter system to the pre–arranged destinations there. In exchange of the market price of INR 4,000 for a cow, Bangladeshi agents pay their Indian counterparts FICN of INR 10,000.

He also added that Assam also bears responsibility for the problem. The chief Minister stated “We cannot say it (ILP) is successful in implementation because the validity of the ILP is purely meant for tourists and those who come and visit Nagaland for a short period. What about those migrant labourers engaged in building or road construction in remote areas? They (labourers) cannot come back for renewal after a gap of 15 days. So they remain there for months and years together. Therefore, as far as the implementation part of ILP… we cannot say that it is successful,”

Sources in the central intelligence agency said that al Qaeda, which recently announced an Indian wing Qaedat-al-Jihad, to carry out terrorist activities, has launched a module to recruit jihadis, reports The Indian Express on October 7. The analysis of chatters between terrorists based in Pakistan reveals that an al Qaeda terrorist has been given the responsibility of Uttar Pradesh and he is said to be operating independently. This shocking revelation has strengthened the agencies’ assessment that after crackdown on the Indian Mujahideen (IM), Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and al Qaeda are looking beyond the IM to run terror operation. Several IM sleeper cells too have joined the separate module. According to officials, the al Qaeda cell in Bangladesh comprising Rohingya Muslims is tasked to provide logistics to terrorists in India to target vital installations, including trains. The terror finance is pumped through a Nepal-based hawala operator routed through Dubai.

Intelligence agencies have warned the Centre that there is credible information to suggest that al Qaeda has already initiated a move to rope in the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) to spread its network in the country, reports Deccan Chronicle on October 8. According to a classified note sent by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to key agencies and some Union ministries, there is credible information that the al Qaeda was trying to establish contact with top leaders of SIMI. According to the intelligence note, details of which have been accessed by Deccan Chronicle, “al Qaeda through its operatives in Pakistan has already established contact with Riyaz and Iqbal Bhtakal, founders of Indian Mujahideen (IM), in Karachi, to gain access to SIMI’s formidable network of sleeper cells in the country. Since IM has worked in close association with the SIMI in the past, they will definitely help the al Qaeda and SIMI to come together.” The intelligence alert has also cautioned that al Qaeda will try and push in operatives into India through the porous Bangladesh border, adds The Asian Age on October 8. Top intelligence sources said Pakistan’s security agencies are also trying for an alliance since al Qaeda would need strong local logistical support to carryout subversive activities in India.

Fearing a backlash against Indians in Iraq, the Central Government is reluctant to allow National Investigation Agency (NIA) to register a case against terror group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), reports India Today on October 9. Highly-placed sources said Indians who are still in the captivity of the ISIS could become soft targets if India initiates any action against them. Thirty nine Indians still remain in their custody. Top Government sources said the Government was not in a hurry to register a case as it wasn't in favour of it at the moment. "We are apprehensive as the group could target Indians in Iraq and other countries in the region where it is active," said a senior Government official. Last month, the NIA wrote to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), seeking permission to register an First Information Report (FIR) against the ISIS, suggesting that an open case under various provisions of Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA) and the United Nations Convention on terrorism could be filed for brainwashing the youths for terror activities. The NIA was of the view that registering an FIR would also help the Government to declare ISIS a banned organization.

A full-blown hacking and defacement war has erupted in the cyberspace as on October 9 over a dozen Indian and Pakistani websites were defaced by hackers from either side, reports The Times of India. The website of the Press Club of India (PCI) in the capital was hacked and defaced, with the hackers' message on the website's home page claiming Pakistani origin. A hacker group calling itself "Indian Hackers Online Squad" hacked and defaced the website of the Pakistan's main opposition party, Pakistan People's Party (PPP), www.ppp.org.pk on October 8, with one "Bl@k Dr@gon" claiming credit. Pakistan railways website was hacked on October 9 with the same name appearing on the defaced page. The hackers claimed to be from Pakistan and India. Cyber security consultant and advisor to the Gurgaon cyber cell, Rakshit Tandon said that it would be wiser to wait for the investigation to confirm their locations.

CID has recovered a dairy, which was maintained by both Shakil Ahmed, who died in the blast, and the absconding Kausar, the suspected linkmen to the entire Jamaat-Ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) module has entries made in coded languages. Sources said the diary speaks extensively of an all-women educational institution that was set up in 2008 in Simulia in Burdwan District. It was in 2007 that Shakil had come to India and the module became operational. The educational institute, investigators found, was made of mud but housed the latest computer technology within its walls. Both Amina Bibi and Rumi (arrested in the blast case) had studied here and the language of instruction was essentially Arabic. It was also here that Amina met Hassan (who is now in hospital) and married him. Sources claim that the working of this institute was exactly how the Bangladesh-based Hifazat-E-Islam, allegedly a Jamaat wing, runs its own educational institutes in the Chittagong area.

Police arrested a suspected militant guide who acted as an Over Ground Worker (OGW), identified as Wali Mohammed (65), on the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch District, reports Business standard on October 10. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shamsheer Hussain said, "As of now, his interrogation is at the initial stage. Only after sustained interrogation will we be able to comment about the outfit he worked for and what his anti-national activities have been. OGW elements, especially the ones which stay close to the LoC, pose a bigger potential threat as compared to OGWs in the hinterland. His (Wali Mohammed) native village is very close to the LoC, from that point of view I believe this man could have caused a lot of damage."

The case papers are being handed over to us.” An Intelligence Bureau (IB) report based on the statement of the suspected JMB hit squad member, Razia Begum alias Rumi said that Shakil Ahmed Gazi, who died in the Burdwan blast, was the operations head of Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB) and the No. 2 of JMB's India unit, reports The Times of India. The Central investigating agencies said that the JMB module operating in Bengal, led by Shakil, specialized in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and had 12 core members with dozens of locals who provided the logistics. An IB report says that the module prepared IEDs only on specific demand made from across the border and after money was paid through hawala channels. Sometimes, orders would come for deliveries in Assam. Security agencies are ascertaining if Assam insurgent outfits received these IEDs or they were smuggled to JMB bases in Chittagong and adjoining areas. According to security agencies, Police are investigating how many IEDs have crossed the border. Sources said that Kausar, who acted as the group's carrier and now tops Bengal's most-wanted list may have delivered at least seven "consignments" from Khagragarh. Since each consignment contained about 100 IEDs, over 700 such IEDs might have crossed the border, said security agencies.

Jharkhand State has urged the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to deploy seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) battalions in some of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected Districts which have seen the worst violence triggered by Left-Wing Extremists (LWE) since 2004, reports The Times of India on October 12. Over 24,000 CRPF personnel (23 battalions) are deployed in the state and are engaged in anti-Maoist operations. But Jharkhand Police claim that several Districts do not have enough Central Security Force to fight Maoists. "The state requires seven new CRPF battalions. Our forces have dismantled extremist networks in large parts of the state. We went to the remotest areas that were once occupied by the rebels and flushed them out. There are some districts where we need more forces to tackle them better," said Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar. The demand has already been forwarded to Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who had recently visited a CRPF camp in West Singhbhum District, said the DGP. "I hope we will get the seven battalions soon," said DGP Kumar.

The National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) probe into the Burdwan blast (in which two suspected militants were killed and another person was injured on October 2 in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal) is pointing to a bigger plot extending not just to neighbouring Assam, but also to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, reports The Times of India on October 12. The NIA has, based on leads gathered from the women arrested from the Burdwan blast site, picked up a suspect from J&K, a construction worker belonging to West Bengal. The J&K suspect, to whom calls were made from the SIM cards seized from Rajira Bibi, wife of militant Shakil Ahmed killed in the blast, was found to be in touch with two other suspects in Birbhum District of West Bengal. The NIA is now on the lookout for the duo. An official said that “Phone records reveal that they had contacts in almost all the major megacities, also in South India. We will have to verify the antecedents of each and every contact. Six of the Assam-based suspects who were in touch with the two men killed in the blast have already been arrested.”

The NIA has, based on leads gathered from the women arrested from the Burdwan blast site, picked up a suspect from J&K, a construction worker belonging to West Bengal. The J&K suspect, to whom calls were made from the SIM cards seized from Rajira Bibi, wife of militant Shakil Ahmed killed in the blast, was found to be in touch with two other suspects in Birbhum District of West Bengal. The NIA is now on the lookout for the duo. An official said that “Phone records reveal that they had contacts in almost all the major megacities, also in South India. We will have to verify the antecedents of each and every contact. Six of the Assam-based suspects who were in touch with the two men killed in the blast have already been arrested.” Meanwhile, the Assam Police claimed the arrested were linked to a module operating under the patronage of Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB). Importantly, terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has also cropped up in the course of questioning of the suspects. The agencies have found a picture of the ISIS flag downloaded a suspect's phones. Though the suspect claimed that the phone was being used by another person, who may have downloaded the flag, the NIA will be probing the angle further. The discovery of grenades and bomb-making equipment from Burdwan, as well as linkages across several states like J&K and even southern states, indicate elaborate planning and high level of preparations by JMB to carry out attacks in Bangladesh, adds The Times of India. Intelligence agencies believe that strikes were planned as retaliation against the Prime Minister (PM) of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina regime's crackdown on JMB elements. NIA officials fear the suspects arrested so far and aides contacted across states by the militants are possibly foot soldiers. The probe will now focus on identifying the leaders of the module. Separately, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers said that, the prime accused in the Burdwan blast, Sheik Kausar travelled nearly 100 kilometres before he sneaked into Bangladesh via Hakimpur bordering Nadia and North 24-Parganas District of West Bengal. The investigators have also reconstructed the escape route. According to CID, Kausar left the spot immediately after the blast, but he didn't leave the place till the next day. However, the CID officers are not sure about the exact day he crossed the border. But, they believe that he had at least five facilitators who arranged the logistics for a safe transit.

The Maharashtra State committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoists (CPI-Maoist), has urged for boycott of the assembly elections on October 15 over the separate Vidarbha issue, reports The Times of India on October 13. The Maoists have claimed that the four prominent political parties, including Congress and BJP, have opposed the century-old demand of statehood for Vidarbha, and this warrants a boycott of the polls as a mark of protest. A press release by the secretary of the Maharashtra state committee of CPI-Maoist claims that Shiv Sena has openly opposed the issue of statehood for Vidarbha while others like Congress, NCP and BJP have refrained from taking a stand only to mislead the masses. The Maoists have appealed to the electorate to use boycott to punish parties for the injustice to Vidarbha. The press release says that this mechanism of boycott is part of a bigger struggle for mass revolution, which should be used at this juncture to protest exploitative and corrupt political parties, irrespective of their banners. The outfit has also claimed that boycotting poll is within the ambit of democratic rights, and should be used to ensure that the four big parties and their allies are ousted. The Maoists also claimed that the big four political parties are actually hand-in-glove, with not much difference in their policies and agenda. These parties have an internal 'setting', from local bodies to the highest government, in order to distribute the exploited wealth of the masses among themselves, the Maoist press release said.

A source stated that surrender by the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) cadres has also come at a time when intelligence reports indicate that the GNLA “commander-in-chief” Sohan D. Shira has taken shelter in neighbouring Bangladesh. The source also stated that said militants in Garo hills have also been feeling the heat with intense operations being launched against them by State Police and Central Armed Police Forces. A source in the Government stated that “With Shira taking shelter in Bangladesh, some of the cadres felt neglected as they were left to fend for themselves. This led them to come out and surrender before the Police. There could be many more who would follow the same path.”

West Bengal has been delisted from the “extremely affected” Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) category States, reports The Telegraph on October 13. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sources said the list of extremely affected districts has been revised from 34 to 23 and does not include West Midnapore, the lone West Bengal District that was part of the earlier list. This means West Midnapore may not be eligible for the special treatment under the new policy, which plans to demarcate four to five blocks in each of the 23 Districts and turn them into “model development hubs”. The blocks will get schools, electricity supply, hospitals, fortified Police Stations, telephone connectivity and roads. “But West Midnapore, along with Bankura and Purulia, will remain part of the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) and Security Related Scheme (SRE)-for 106 districts, so there will be no dearth of funds,” a MHA official said. The violence, the sources said, has declined further since 2011, when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee assumed power. Compared with 246 incidents in Chhattisgarh and 127 in Bihar last year, West Bengal saw just one last year and none this year.

Even though Assam Police are yet to establish specific links between the six Jammat-ul Mujahideen Bangaldesh (JMB) members, who were allegedly involved in the Burdwan blast, and the al Qaeda, the state, however, is on the radar of global Islamic terrorist groups, said security sources, reports The Times of India on October 14. Such militant groups used the Kokrajhar riots (2012) to attract youngsters, investigation has revealed. "The state started featuring in discourses of pan-Islamic jihadi forces after the 2012 communal riots in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) in which Bengali-speaking Muslims found themselves being pushed to a corner. Some non-governmental organizations (NGO), religious and political leaders, who were involved in providing relief, also helped indoctrinate youngsters," added security sources. Ongoing conflicts between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine in Myanmar have also led to widespread resentment among Muslims in the state. Investigation has also revealed that the six JMB members arrested in Barpeta were part of the outfit's plan to launch subversive activities in Bangladesh.

Top officials with access to intelligence inputs have warned that al Qaeda has apparently joined hands with Indian terror outfits like the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) to plan a series of bombings in the country during the festival season, reports Deccan Herald on October 14. The two groups were found to have joined forces when investigators discovered their roles in the recent Burdwan (West Bengal) and Bijnor (Uttar Pradesh) blasts. A top official said "To impart a big blow in India, al Qaeda and SIMI had chosen the month of October and their motive was to conduct a series of bombings on Dussehra and Eid-ul-Adha." However, the accidental blast in Burdwan in West Bengal put paid to the terrorists' bombings plan and they could not carry out any bombings on these occasions, the official added. "But Diwali (October 23) might be on their radar and any Indian city could be targeted by these outfits on this festival," the official said.

Sources said that NIA on October 14 summoned three persons from Chennai, Tamil Nadu for interrogation in connection with the case, reports Deccan Chronicle. The terror blast case, which has cross-border ramifications, is reportedly spread from West Bengal to Assam and South India. Karnataka has also sought information from the West Bengal Police and NIA about the case and the support network of JMB. Official sources said that “We are at a security risk because we have a sizeable population of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Bengaluru and other Districts.” However, despite initial suspicion that the Burdwan blast might be linked to a terror module of either the al Qaeda or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), both the NIA and Central Intelligence agencies have now categorically ruled out any such possibility, reports The Asian Age on October 16. Two alleged terrorists believed to be members of the JMB died in the Burdwan blast and it was being initially suspected that the JMB had directed them to set up terror modules in India for either al Qaeda or the ISIS. Sources said so far the probe has not revealed any al Qaeda or ISIS link though the investigations are progressing at a fast pace.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigators on October 14 questioned three mysterious suspects at a Park Circus nursing home, Kolkata where they were admitted by Burdwan Police on October 6 with blast injuries, reports The Times of India. NIA is probing if the trio is linked to the Burdwan blast (in which two suspected militants were killed and another person was injured on October 2 in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal). Sources said that NIA wonders why these "suspects" were taken to a private nursing home, while Abdul Hakim, who was injured in the Burdwan blast, was admitted to the state-run SSKM Hospital. There is tell-tale evidence at the Burdwan blast site that a few more people may have been present when the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) exploded. Some villagers have told investigators that they saw a few persons fleeing on motorcycles immediately after the blast. The Central Forensic Science Laboratory is already looking into this aspect after collecting blood samples. However, the injured trio has denied involvement in the Burdwan blast, claiming they were injured in a separate blast in Malda on October 5.

A series of Internet chats between key members of Indian Mujahideen (IM) based in India and Pakistan provided leads as early as July 2013 to the emergence of new terror modules with links to West Bengal, Assam and Bangladesh, and a branch leader identified only as “Bengali”, reports The Indian Express. The transcripts of some of these chats, unearthed last year by National Investigation Agency (NIA) reveal that the ground had been laid in 2013 to launch terror operations under the leadership of “Bengali”. They also indicate that it was this operative who carried out the SMS campaign in 2012 that sparked panic among people from the northeast living in southern cities such as Bangalore, Karnataka. These chat conversations have gained significance in the light of the October 2 blast at a house in Burdwan in West Bengal which resulted in the death of two persons allegedly involved in making explosive devices.

Assam Chief Minister (CM) Tarun Gogoi on October 15 said that his state is more vulnerable to threats from the jihadi elements than Jammu& Kashmir (J&K), reports The New Indian Express. Gogoi said “They (jihadi elements) have for long been trying to set up bases here and I had once told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Assam is more dangerous than Kashmir when it comes to the threat from them.” “Fundamentalist elements and extremists are all dangerous. Not just the fundamentalist elements, we also have threats from the ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam) and the NDFB (National Democratic Front of Bodoland),” he added. According to the CM, Assam had once been home to some jihadi outfits. However, the State Government had been able to weed out those. He also said that “We have information that they (jihadi elements in Assam) have links with a Bangladeshi outfit. But their links with the al Qaeda are yet to be established. The NIA will hopefully be able to unearth more.” Six people have been arrested in Assam in connection with the October 2 Burdwan blast in West Bengal and a number of madrasas in the state are now under the scanner.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has placed a company of Border Security Force (BSF), comprising around 100 personnel, at the disposal of NIA to help it with raids and searches conducted as part of the Burdwan blasts probe, reports The Times of India on October 17. The Times of India adds that the NIA has found fresh evidence which shows that the terror module stored IEDs at several hideouts in four Districts of West Bengal. According to central intelligence sources the nature of the planning and the information from the interrogation of Abdul Hakim at SSKM Hospital in Kolkata point towards links with Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami (HuJI), Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). The network's main targets in Bangladesh were Dhaka and Rajshahi but Indian cities may also have been on the radar. Intelligence Bureau (IB) sources said that the terror module seems much more organized than it appeared. According to sources, Hakim has admitted to making bombs for three years. He also claims that dead 'terrorist' Subhan Mondal is actually Suvan Sheikh, a relative of Shakil Ahmed Gazi, the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) No. 2 who was killed in the blast. From his statement, it appears that many locals had worked as foot soldiers, helping the module get land, money and daily logistics. Hakim has told investigators that the module has extensive presence across Burdwan, Birbhum, Murshidabad and Nadia and was scouting for new hideouts in West Midnapore and Malda. They recruited heavily from several educational institutes and had roped in over 150 operatives in the past three years, he said.

India will hold counter-terrorism exercises with China despite a recent face-off on their disputed border, reports Reuters on October 17. According to the reports, India agreed to China's request to move next month's exercises away from the border with Pakistan with which China shares a close relationship. The manoeuvres will come just weeks after thousands of Indian and Chinese soldiers confronted each other on their de facto border in the western Himalayas, accusing each other of building roads and observations posts in disputed territory. India sees the anti-terrorism collaboration with China as a way to highlight the threat they both face from Islamist militants in Pakistan. The military sources said that the two armies will field 103 soldiers each for the "hand-in-hand" manoeuvres in Pune (Maharashtra) that involve scenarios such as recapturing a border post taken over by terrorists.

National Security Guard (NSG) director general J N Choudhury on October 16 warned of the possibility of global jihadi outfits al Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) joining hands to launch "multi-city, multiple attacks" in India, reports The Times of India. Speaking to the news reporters on the occasion of NSG's 30th Raising Day in Manesar near Gurgaon (Haryana), Choudhury said, "Now that they (al Qaeda) have declared an intention to attack India, they might combine with outfits like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), ISIS and Indian Mujahideen (IM)." Calling the 2008 Mumbai attacks (26/11) a “curtain raiser”, he said the country is facing threat of such attacks in more than one city at a time. He added that al Qaeda operatives had recced Bangalore (Karnataka) and Goa several years ago and “looking for vulnerable spots in India is nothing new for al Qaeda”. He said the NSG does not have its own intelligence setup to corroborate these inputs which were given by intelligence agencies.

The Central Government will use any element of its "national power" against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) under a new policy to deal with the extremists and not hold peace talks with them till they renounce violence and express faith in democracy, reports Zee News on October 17. This strategy has been envisaged in the policy formulated by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government to combat Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) and circulated to all the nine Maoist-affected States. "The State is duty-bound to resolutely deal with the Maoist violence and reserves the right to use any element of its national power against the outfit as the situation warrants," according to the policy devised by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). The Policy, however, does not mention whether use of Armed Forces is an option to fight the naxals. The new policy says experience of previous counter- insurgency campaigns in states like Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Tripura suggest that State Police should take the lead in the campaign with support from Central Forces. The Government will consider any offer of talks from the CPI-Maoist once they renounce violence as the means of capturing state power and express faith in the democratic process. The government's counter-insurgency paradigm will be balanced and holistic with multi-pronged interventions in the areas of security, development, ensuring rights and entitlements of local communities and public perception management. Winning the hearts and minds of the tribal population and other marginalised groups will lie at the core of the counter- insurgency strategy of the state and all security and development-related interventions will revolve around this aspect. In the worst LWE affected areas, security interventions will be followed by development interventions; in moderately affected areas, both the interventions will go hand in hand and in less affected areas, development interventions will take the precedence, the policy said. The policy suggests that two adjoining Naxal-affected states will have more frequent interaction and if necessary, one-to-one meetings at the highest political level. It has also been specified that recruitments in CAPFs will have a much higher proportion of tribal youth from the Maoist affected areas and special recruitment rallies will be convened in these areas."The CAPF personnel deployed in LWE affected areas would be given incentives on par with the maximum prevailing levels -- those available in Jammu and Kashmir," the document says. Another feature of the policy is that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will visit the crime scenes of all serious offences committed by Maoists in the future. The policy will come into effect after formal approval by the Union Cabinet.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) is actively considering National Investigation Agency (NIA)'s proposal to register a case against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to check the threat posed by it after intelligence inputs said nearly 20 Indian youths may have joined the global outfit, reports The Times of India on October 17. Of the 20 persons said to have been recruited by ISIS, four have already been identified as residents of Kalyan in Mumbai, while one is said to be from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and another settled in Singapore. A senior UMHA official said a case against ISIS may be registered but did not support the NIA's stance that ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi should be named in the "open First Information Report (FIR)". This is because it would unnecessarily sensationalise the case, considering the almost nil chances of Indian agencies laying their hands on al-Baghdadi. Recently, the waving of the ISIS flag in J&K had led to concerns among the security establishment regarding the possible emerging presence of the global jihadi outfit in India.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is investigating the Burdwan blast case, in a preliminary report submitted to the Central Government said that there was a conspiracy by the Burdwan terror module to convert West Bengal into a major terror hub over the next few months to carryout subversive activities in different parts of the country, reports The Asian Age on October 18. The NIA along with Central intelligence agencies is investigating the matter which is suspected to have international ramifications also. Police have already arrested three accused in the Burdwan blast, Badrul Alam Molla and two women, Razia and Amina and questioning them regularly over the last few days which has provided some valuable leads regarding the conspiracy. Sources said that the accused have disclosed that they were getting regular assistance both in terms of finance and explosives from “certain elements in Bangladesh” with clear instructions to form a strong terror network in West Bengal. A senior intelligence official said that “Considering the close proximity of the state to the porous Indo-Bangladesh border West Bengal was an ideal choice for making it a major terror hub in the country. The investigations have thrown up important leads and we are working on them. We have already recovered a huge quantity of explosives based on the disclosures of the accused persons and have also identified some members of the terror module who are still on the run.” Sources also said that during the course of investigations it has also come to light that the terror operatives have already made Malda into a major centre for smuggling fake Indian currency notes (FICN). The Times of India on October 18 adds that with mounting evidence that the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) network has spread its tentacles across the central and bordering Districts of West Bengal, NIA has begun visiting each of the suspects' homes and questioning their aides. According to intelligence inputs, JMB cadres are known to recruit from their close and extended families, creating strong blood networks. Sources said that "once you begin questioning these aides of the absconding men, there are chances you can gain valuable leads."

After its near successful hijack bid of PNS Zulfiqar- a missile-equipped warship of Pakistan at Karachi last month, the global terrorist outfit al Qaeda, in the latest issue of its online propaganda magazine ‘Resurgence’, has revealed terror plot for attack on oil shipments passing through Strait of Hormuz and other key choke points in Turkish straits, reports The New Indian Express on October 21. Most of the oil shipments passing through the Straits of Hormuz are bound for Japan, India and China. Reports said that al Qaeda plot, as it appears from its deep infiltration in Pakistan Navy, is to hijack the Pakistani warships and use it against the ships carrying oil to Asian and Western countries. The al Qaeda’s magazine talks about several vulnerable points in the Strait of Hormuz, which it says transports 17 million barrels of oil on a daily basis. The 117-page magazine quoting the official figures and maps, allegedly downloaded from various Government websites and data borrowed from the United States (US) Department of Energy, points out that critical sea lanes provide strategic opportunity for the Mujahideen to launch attacks.

Specific intelligence reports reaching the Centre suggest that the National Investigation Agency (NIA)’s team probing the Burdwan blast case is facing a serious threat from subversive elements, reports Deccan Chronicle on October 22. According to the sources, even though the NIA team has been provided adequate security cover by para-military and local Police, the high threat perception shows that the Burdwan terror module had probably managed to establish a good network within the state (West Bengal) and subversive elements may want to prevent security agencies from busting the entire module. The NIA team has already recovered a large amount of explosive materials from some madrassas in the area and suspect the presence of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) modules in the state. The case has serious security ramifications for both India and Bangladesh due to which intelligence agencies of the two countries are said to be working in close co-ordination.

The CPI-Maoist has accepted that it was facing a “difficult situation” in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh where it was dominant until recently, reports The Hindu on October 22. In a statement issued by Gudsa Usendi, spokesperson of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC), to “condemn” the surrender of DKSZC member Arjun and his wife Ranita before the Police in Telangana, the party said the couple could not withstand the “difficult time” faced by the movement. “Arjun and Ranita overestimated the enemy power as undefeatable in the present tough times. But these are only the phases of any revolutionary movement,” claimed Gudsa Usendi adding that their surrender did make a “negative impact” on the party. Abhay, the spokesperson of the CPI-Maoist ‘central committee’ in another statement said “Not a single day is passing without the ‘usual’ encounters and fake encounters of both revolutionaries and common people in the movement areas. Excessive cordon and search operations, area dominations, loot, destruction, mayhem, tortures and atrocities on people by the government forces are going on in Dandakaranya.” On the deployment of the Naga Battalion in Chhattisgarh, the DKSZC spokesperson appealed to the Naga troopers not to come to Chhattisgarh “as slaves in the service of exploiters” and raise their voice against ‘forcible deployment’ and express solidarity with the tribal people fighting for their very existence. The CPI-Maoist also condemned the re-arrest of Goppanna Markam, an alleged senior Maoist leader by the Bastar Police and termed it “illegal and unconstitutional.”

A three-month long conspiracy culminated into the meticulously planned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attack, which was rehearsed over six days, on the convoy of senior Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh on May 25 in 2013, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has concluded after conducting a probe for nearly 16 months, reports The Economic Times on October 24. The report was submitted in a court in Bilaspur on September 23 and said the Maoists celebrated with a "macabre dance of death" on the spot after killing Karma. "Presence of Salwa Judum founder and Congress leader Mahendra Karma in the convoy was one of tempting and lucrative reason for CPI (Maoist) in taking decision to attack the convoy of Congress. The previous and post conduct of the accused persons establish their intention, conspiracy, reparation, and execution to lay ambush on the Congress Parivartan yatra to avenge against Mahendra Karma," said the 36-page NIA charge sheet. "A decision to carry out a big attack in Darbha region was hatched in the meeting of South Regional Unified Command (SRUC) of CPI (Maoist) held from February 16-25, 2013, somewhere in forest area near village Pidia of Bijapur district and various Maoist formations were asked to assemble in Darbha", the charge sheet said. A week before the attack, Maoists got "information" of possible movement of Karma and other Congress leaders in Darbha to participate in Parivartan Yatra and decided to target it, the NIA added. "In pursuant to the conspiracy to attack Parivartan Yatra, Maoist commanders conducted recce of Sukma - Jagdalpur Highway (NH221, now NH-31) and identified a suitable spot in Jheeram valley for ambush. The rehearsal / mock drills for the attack was carried out for five six days in the forest area near Ekkum-Chikpal. During mock drills, cadres were divided into various teams/groups like Assault group, Stop Group, Signal Group, Blast Squad, Seizing party and Senior Commanders briefed them about the terrain, possible situation, their individual role, snatching tactics & escape routes," the NIA said. The NIA investigation also brought out that Maoists planted a landmine under the NH- 221 near the culvert as well as at different places for defensive measures as well as to inflict causality on probable reinforcement/ rescue team.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) expressed its concern that Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) continue to be pumped across the border from Bangladesh to fund the activities of outfits like the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and Indian Mujahideen (IM), reports The Times of India on October 27. The high quality FICNs are printed in Pakistan and routed to India through Bangladesh. NIA sources said that “We now suspect that sending in FICN is a form of the much talked about 'Money Jihad'. A clear pattern has emerged regarding the route of the FICN once it reaches Indian soil. A large part of it is sent to places like Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh that have links to terror outfits. The remaining has been tracked to southern states, particularly to locations from where terror modules are known to operate.” Sources also said that “Despite the developments over the last few weeks that has led to tightening of security, attempts are continuing to push in FICN from across the International Border into West Bengal. Even when IM co-founder Yasin Bhatkal was first arrested, FICN was found in his possession."

Thailand Government on October 27 issued a lookout notice for Jagtar Singh Tara, a top Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) militant, on India’s request, reports New Indian Express. This is part of the Centre’s urgent crackdown on what is being termed as re-configuration and likely impetus to Punjab militancy with help from across the border. However, there is a bit of confusion on whether Tara is in Malaysia or Thailand, with sources pointing out that the border between the two countries is porous. A Thailand military Internal Security Operations Command Region (ISOC) official said border control units have been instructed to screen visitors and Tara’s photos were also posted on local police’s wanted list. The main town on the Thai-Malaysian border Su-ngai Kolok had been specifically alerted. For India, Tara will be an important catch as he is increasingly seen as being projected as the top leader of BKI by his Pakistan ISI handlers, replacing Wadhawa Singh with whom he has had a rift over the years. According to Indian security agencies, the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had always used Thailand as a terror hub, especially to channel Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN). In July, three Pakistani nationals were arrested near the Pakistan embassy in Bangkok with FICN worth INR150000.

Three cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), including a couple and a Maoist ‘jan-militia commander’, carrying rewards ranging from INR 100,000-800,000 for their arrest, surrendered in Bastar region on October 27, reports Zee News. All the three Maoists, namely Manku Kachlam (31), his wife Anita (30) and ‘jan-militia commander’ Sukhram Kawde (22) cited disillusionment with the functioning of the CPI-Maoist and ill-treatment by senior cadres as the reason to turn themselves in, they said. While Manku and Anita surrendered in Kondagaon District, Kawde surrendered in Dantewada District. Popularly known as 'shikshika' (teacher) among ultras in the region, Anita was a prominent cadre in Kondagaon.

Anita's husband Manku was an active member of military dalam Platoon number 5 and INR 800,000 was announced for his arrest. The duos were allegedly involved in several incidents of crime, including loot, arson, murder and attacks on security forces in the region, Kondagaon Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Surjit Atri said. In a separate incident, Kawde, who was carrying a reward of INR 100,000 on his head, and a native of Kodoli village under Narayanpur District's Orchha Police Station limits, surrendered before senior Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officials in Dantewada District, Dantewada SP Kamlochan Kashyap said.

A National Investigation Agency (NIA) report on the Burdwan blast case revealed a new trend of women taking to Jihadi indoctrination and terror activities in Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh’s (JMB) all-female jihadi training centres in Burdwan and Murshidabad areas of West Bengal, reports The New Indian Express on October 29. According to top officials, these centres started operating in 2011 and recruited women who were trained in bomb-making and violent extremist ideologies. Sources said that the two madrassas, one is at Shimulia in Burdwan District and another is at Laal Gola in Murshidabad District were reportedly training only females in bomb making and other terror activities like transporting arms and ammunition safely from one area to the other. NIA officers concluded that Rejara Biwi and Amina Biwi, arrested after the October 2 Burdwan blast, were also trained in one of these madrassas and a few more madrassas in the bordering areas are under the NIA scanner. “So far, we have been able to link 40 terror modules to the Burdwan blast,” said an officer. The NIA report also said that Interrogation of the suspects have also revealed that at least 40 ready improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were shipped to Bangladesh in four consignments. However, Investigators were yet to ascertain whether the explosive shipments were moved within the country. According to the sources, the bomb-manufacturing unit was operational for almost three years in the house rented by alleged JMB terrorists in Burdwan District. Sources said that the Burdwan blast mastermind, Sheikh Kausar, who escaped after the blast is believed to have been in Birbhum District for three days after the blasts. He went off the radar on October 5. Unconfirmed reports said that Kausar may have escaped to Nepal and the Security agencies are learnt to have received information on his whereabouts. Further, the NIA said that the terrorist module operating in West Bengal had a specific design where not only local agents but also local politicians may have played an active role, reports The Times of India. In their report to NIA Director General (DG) Sharad Kumar, investigators hinted at the involvement of at least 40 politicians helped these terrorists gain a foothold in West Bengal. In addition, a status report on the probe into the Burdwan blast states at least 165 to 190 Bangladeshis managed to sneak into India in the past few months to join JMB terror modules. Investigators have identified as many as 27 routes used by terrorists to move within the country and sneak out. NIA has broadly divided the routes in three categories, inter-Districts, inter-State and borders with Bangladesh and Nepal. Report said that nearly 58 terror modules had bases in nine Districts of Bengal, including Burdwan, Birbhum, Nadia, Murshidabad, Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar, Howrah, and South and North 24-Parganas. It is also believed that these routes were chosen to give them easy access to Uttar Pradesh (UP), Bihar, Jharkhand and Sikkim and Bangladesh and Nepal.

Intelligence officials in West Bengal have found a purported al Qaeda pamphlet, which talks about establishing an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)-style Islamic caliphate in Bangladesh which eventually includes several eastern and northeastern Indian states, reports Hindustan Times on October 29. The pamphlet, written in Bangla and being secretly distributed in West Bengal and Assam, says establishing a caliphate in Bangladesh is crucial for intensifying jihad in Indian states on the eastern border. The pamphlet specifically mentions West Bengal and Assam, though intelligence officials suspect Bihar and Jharkhand also feature in the terror group’s plans. The pamphlet, suspected to have been smuggled into the state through Bangladesh, was discovered a few days before the October 2 Burdwan blast in West Bengal. “If we manage to establish a Syria-like reign here (in Bangladesh) then Muslims from Assam, Arakan (former name of Burma’s Rakhine State) and West Bengal too would be able to come here for hijrat (migration with religious agenda). Simultaneously, anti-India revolts would intensify in seven eastern Indian states. This would be a huge blow for India, one of the key non-Muslim states in the changed situation of the world,” says the pamphlet. A senior officer working with a central intelligence agency on October 29 said, “We have got a copy of the leaflet. We will soon send it to New Delhi. This issue has to be discussed at the top level.”

Security Forces (SFs) reportedly averted a firebomb attack on September 25 (the first day of Navratra festival) as when a powerful incendiary improvised explosive device (IED) was detected and disposed of from a passenger train in Rewari, Haryana, reports Hindustan Times on October 30. Sources said that the bomb, with a timer and detonator connected to a container of liquid insect killer with firecrackers tied to it, was found in an abandoned bag on the Rewari-Meerut train, which was on its way to Delhi. An unnamed counter-terror official said, “A bomb squad was called in from Gurgaon and defused the IED three hours after it was found. It is suspected that the IED was planted by alleged Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) operatives who are on the run after their hideout in Bijnor town in Uttar Pradesh was busted last month after an accidental blast.” “Had the IED exploded, it would have sent flames flying around the inflammable train coach, possibly resulting in a repeat of the Samjhauta Express firebombing,” the official added.

Telegraph on October 30 reports that nearly 30 youths from Tinsukia, Dibrugarh and Sivasagar Districts, who had gone outside the state for employment, may have joined Communist Party of India- Maoist (CPI-Maoist). Sources in the Police Department said an inquiry was on to ascertain whether the youths who reportedly went outside Assam two years ago to work for private firms were really employed in the companies or had joined Maoist organisations. The suspicion arose on the basis of inputs collected by the Police from local sources that these youths, who had left in 2012, had not visited their homes since and seldom called their family and friends. The sources said the parents and guardians of the 30 youths under scanner had told the Police that their children had gone to Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala and were employed in the hospitality sector, private security agencies and construction companies.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has said that some of their cadres are getting attracted towards the “corrupt surrender policy” of the government, reports The Hindu on November 30. “The revolutionary public terms those who surrender before police enemies of people. The revolutionary public hates such people. When such people are coming back to their villages, they have to face people’s ire,” claimed Gudsa Usendi, spokesperson of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) of the CPI-Maoist. “Under this surrender policy, hundreds of crores of rupees of un-auditable funds are being given to the police and paramilitary officials, which is leading to criminalisation of security forces in conflict areas. The government has also declared internal rewards and promotions for security forces. To get the benefits of rewards and promotion, security forces are increasingly attacking villages and arresting tribal people, non-tribal activists and youths and declaring them Maoists,” contended the Maoist leader.

According to reports the five Students Islamic Movement in India (SIMI) fugitives wanted for Bijnor blast in Uttar Pradesh (September 12, 2014) operated and followed the methods mentioned in the al Qaeda training manual, reports The Times of India on October 31. The manual was first implemented by al-Qaeda while bombing United States (US) embassy in Kenya in 1998. It was produced as evidence in the case's trial by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2001. FBI had first recovered it from the laptop of an alleged al Qaeda operative in Manchester in United Kingdom (UK). The investigators probing the Bijnor blast case said that the way SIMI operatives functioned shows they followed the manual in toto. It guides on details like location of the hideout, lifestyle to be followed by operatives and keeping sufficient cash ready. The Police had recovered INR 900,000 the SIMI fugitives had handed over to two persons in Bijnor with the promise that they would collect the cash when required. The manual also cautions operatives against living together and that all of the group members need not be aware of where the others are holed up. Report adds that al Qaeda has already announced its intention to revive Islamist terrorism, which has ebbed in India following a crackdown on Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadres. Now, SIMI elements are being warmed up to replace them. While IM supports the Iraq-based Islamic State, the SIMI operatives have cozied up to al Qaeda.
