The US State Department’s ‘Country Reports on Terrorism 2018’, published on November 1 said the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) continued to be a threat to India, reports New Indian Express. The report added that the Pakistani authorities have failed to uniformly implement the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Action Plan on money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regimes and the UN sanctions related to designated entities and individuals. As such, terror group LeT and its affiliates continued to make use of economic resources and raise funds, it noted. “Pakistan criminalises terrorist financing through the Anti-Terrorism Act, but implementation remains uneven. In June 2018, the FATF placed Pakistan on its ‘grey list’ for deficiencies across its anti-money laundering and financial transaction regimes, specifically citing concerns over Pakistan’s failure to fully implement the UN Security Council ISIL and al-Qa’ida sanctions,” the report said.

The Muslim clergy will be trained to create YouTube channels, podcast, accounts on social media and websites to counter IS narrative. Further, the clergy has been directed to highlight the atrocities carried on women and children by slain IS ‘chief’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

A high alert has been issued to security forces across the country by central intelligence agencies, warning of possible ‘lone wolf’ attacks by Islamic State (IS) operatives targeting high-risk dignitaries in the run-up to the Republic Day celebrations in January, 2020, The Hindu reports on November 3. Earlier, a communication issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to all the States on November 1, stated that the overall security scenario in the country remained a cause for concern on account of the threat emanating from Pakistan and the Afghanistan-Pakistan belt. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) continued to provide infrastructural and other financial/logistical assistance to terror groups, particularly the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), operating in that country, the note said. “The reported nexus between home-grown terror outfits and Pakistan-based extremist organisations in terms of procurement of weapons, technology and training has added a new dimension to the threat scenario,” it added.

Emergence of a new terror group under the banner of Al Hind Brigade comprising former leaders of banned outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) has set alarm bells ringing in the security establishment as the outfit aims to target right wing Hindu leaders, Daily Pioneer reports on November 4. Initial assessments suggest the outfit could have linkages with the Al Qaeda and Pakistan sponsored terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), both of which have been seeking expand their footprint, especially in the wake of abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, sources said.

Indian intelligence agencies have spotted terrorist training activities in Narowal, the border District, and Sheikhupura District in Punjab province of Pakistan, reports The Times of India on November 4. As per the report, the intelligence alert has been received less than a week from the opening of the Kartarpur corridor for Indian pilgrims. The said corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in Gurdaspur District of Punjab in India with the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara located in Narowal District of Punjab province in Pakistan. Sources in the intelligence agencies said terrorist training camps are situated at Muridke (Sheikhupura), Shakargarh (Narowal), and Narowal Districts of Punjab province in Pakistan where “substantial number of men and women are reportedly camping and undergoing training”. The said details emerged at a recently held joint meeting of all top security agencies of the country to discuss issues related to border management in Punjab. The biggest challenge, the agencies said, is the opening of the Kartarpur corridor as anti-India activities are likely to be carried out by hostile elements in Pakistan, especially “those likely to come into contact with pilgrims at the shrine”.

The rapid response capacity of India’s counter-terrorism unit, the National Security Guard (NSG), is limited due to its small size, the US State Department has said in a report, New Indian Express reports on November 5. “Despite its rigorous training, NSG’s rapid response capability is somewhat limited, due in part to its small staff relative to India’s large size and to the NSG’s limited independent logistics capacity,” the State Department’s Country Report on Terrorism 2018 read. The report praised India’s efforts to prevent terror incidents and bring terror perpetrators to justice. “Larger states in India have established their own multi-agency centres and are providing near real-time information on terrorism to law enforcement agencies.”

There is an increase of more than 37,000 new voters this Assembly Election in comparison to the number of total voters enumerated for the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) election held in April-May this year in Palamu District of Jharkhand, reports Daily Pioneer on November 5. A press note issued from the District, Public Relation Office (PRO), read there were 14, 21, 729 voters for the Lok Sabha election which is now 14, 59, 278 voters. District Returning Officer cum Deputy Commissioner, Palamu, Shantanu Kumar Agrahari, said the increase in number of voters is a happy sign, but it will be far happier moment when eligible voters do come out of their houses and cast votes, which is due here on November 30. Sources said the increase in voters has so far not seen any greater number of booths which was 1,795 in Lok Sabha election and this figure is same this Assembly Election. The Superintendent of Police (SP), Ajay Linda, said areas falling in Chetma, Dagra, Kooh Kooh Pathra, Naudeeha Kala Pahar etc. are all under strict eyes of the nearest Police Stations and security camps there. “I rode on a bike in areas falling on the border of Bihar and saw the locations of the booths, clusters, routes and retreats,” the SP said adding that he inspected geo positions at Salaiyya where he went on bike a far off pace just meters away from Bihar and spoke to people there to bolster their confidence in voting. Sources said the adjoining States like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha, where incidentally there is no election and hence problem of sneaking in of rebels from Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Odisha is too high. Commenting on this, Linda said, “We will do all on the borders that we have with Chhattisgarh Bihar and UP to foil any entry of rebels and criminals as well.” The SP conceded that a vast area in Palamu is highly prone to ambush and booby traps but hastened to assure that Security Forces (SFs) will abort any design of rebels.

According to Russel Travers, US’s Acting Director of the National Counter-terrorism Center, Office of Director of National Intelligence, the Khorasan group of the Islamic State (IS-K), that operates in South Asia, attempted a suicide attack in India in 2018, swarajyamag.com reports on November 7. "Of all of the branches and networks of IS, IS-K is certainly one of those of most concern, probably in the neighbourhood of 4,000 individuals or so," said Russel. "They have attempted to certainly inspire attacks outside of Afghanistan. They attempted last year to conduct a suicide attack in India. It failed," Travers said when asked by Indian-origin Senator Maggie Hassan about the ability of IS-K to carry out terrorist attacks in the region. Reportedly during her visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Hassan said she heard firsthand the concerns of the US military about the growing and very real threat of IS-K, the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan.

Indian Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy on November 7, called for a global concerted effort to fight against the global menace, reports aninews.in. "It was a distinct pleasure to speak at the 'No Money for Terror' Ministerial Conference on Terrorism - Financing at Melbourne (Australia). Needless it is to say that India has suffered from cross border terrorism and therefore, I emphasised on the need for a global concerted effort," Reddy said in a tweet. The minister stressed India's concern over the "tacit support" that some nations are extending to terror groups breeding on their soil, in an apparent reference to Pakistan. He, at the session, also stated that India, being a victim of cross-border terrorism, advocates zero-tolerance towards terror. The minister further proposed four points for inclusion in the resolution to tackle the global menace saying all nations must expedite the finalisation of a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism under the United Nations (UN). "Proposed 4 crucial points for inclusion in the resolution to be adopted here, which includes branding terrorism as the biggest threat to peace, security and development," the minister said in another tweet. All countries which participated in the meeting should also effectively enforce the standards mandated by the Financial Action Terror Force (FATF) and UN listings, the minister said.

India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and held a "good discussion" with him on important strategic issues on November 12, reports ndtv.com. The two met at the Paris Peace Forum. Jaishankar, during his address at the Paris Peace Forum, called for coordinated action by nations, bilaterally or multilaterally, to prevent the forces of terrorism and extremism from building presence in the digital domain. On issues related to the governance of cyberspace, Jaishankar said to address the specific security threats, including cyber-attacks on critical infrastructures, countries should consider entering into arrangements for speedy action and mitigation. He said India's support to the Christchurch call to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online manifests the country's commitment to work with "like-minded countries to ensure that the entire digital space serves to advance our societies and economies, without endangering our safety and security". The Christchurch Call- named after the New Zealand city in which 51 people from the Muslim community were killed in terrorist attacks broadcast live on the Internet on March 15, 2019 - is an action plan that commits governments, international organizations and internet players to take a series of measures, in particular developing tools to prevent the downloading of terrorist and violent extremist content.

Terrorism has caused USD 1 trillion loss to the world economy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on November 14, as he addressed the 11th BRICS Summit, terming the scourge as the “biggest threat” to development, peace and prosperity, reports theindianpanorama.news. Addressing the BRICS Plenary Session at the iconic Itamaraty Palace in the presence of the Presidents of Brazil, China, Russia and South Africa, Prime Minister Modi said terrorism has emerged as the biggest threat to the development, peace and prosperity. “According to some estimates, the economic growth of developing nations has decreased by 1.5 per cent due to terrorism,” he said, adding that the scourge has caused USD 1 trillion loss to the world economy. In 10 years, terrorism has claimed the lives of about 2.25 lakh people and destroyed societies, Modi added. “The atmosphere of doubt created by terrorism, terror financing, drug trafficking and organized crime indirectly and deeply harms trade and business. I am happy that the first seminar on BRICS Strategies for Countering Terrorism was organized. We hope that such efforts and activities of the five working groups will increase strong BRICS Security Cooperation against terrorism and other organized crimes,” the Prime Minister said.

With various terror groups “unable” to execute a major terror strike in the aftermath of scrapping of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and the Supreme Court’s verdict on Ayodhya, there is a “high probability” of a “lone wolf attack” in any of the metros across India, according to the latest assessment made by Intelligence agencies after reviewing the security scenario post the two major developments, asianage.com reports on November 17. Based on the assessment, a note is being prepared and sent to all states shortly to take adequate measures. The agencies feel that while a host of measures has been taken to ensure that terror groups do not succeed in planning and executing a major strike, they say that the threat of a lone wolf attack in such a scenario is looming large. Sources in the security establishment told that though retaliation in the form of a major terror strike was expected soon after Article 370 was abrogated from J&K, the strict restrictions which included a ban on the Internet ensured that the communication between terrorists and their handlers across the border was snapped. The increased security measures taken by agencies have made it “difficult” for planning and executing terror strikes, they said.

"Because of FATF, Pakistan can see all the shades of gray," he said, referring to the international watchdog putting the neighbouring country in its `gray' list, and added "if Pakistan did not stop sponsoring terrorism, then it will most certainly be blacklisted."
