Five Pakistani nationals were arrested from creek area on the west coast of Kutch District by the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on October 4, reports PTI. The boat in which they were travelling was also seized. According to Police, the boat carrying the five persons onboard had ventured into the creek area following which they were arrested by the BSF. Harami Nala, a sluggish and shallow water channel in the remotest creek area, spread over 500 square kilometres, is prone to intrusion from Pakistani fishermen, Police said. The marshy topography made it difficult for BSF troops to react swiftly against infiltration, the officials said.

Targeting the Indian embassy in Kabul for the second time, a Taliban suicide bomber on October 8 blew up an explosives-laden car outside the mission, killing 17 persons and injuring over 80, including three Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) soldiers, The Hindu reported. The embassy staff, however, was unhurt. The blast, which occurred near the outer perimeter of the heavily-fortified embassy around 8.30 a.m., damaged a wall and destroyed a watch tower. "A suicide car bomb blast took place near the Indian embassy in which 15 civilians and two Afghan policemen were killed and 76 wounded. Most of the wounded are civilians," the Afghan Interior Ministry said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and identified the bomber as Khalid, Al Jazeera TV channel said. Indian ambassador Jayant Prasad said the "embassy was the target" but the suicide bomber failed to breach the security perimeter. Afghan President Hamid Karzai strongly condemned the blast, saying it was a "heinous act of terror" planned to kill innocent civilians. "This heinous act of terror was an obvious attack on civilians and the perpetrators of this attack and those who planned it are vicious terrorists who kill innocent people for their malicious goals," he said in a statement. The Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Fakiri said the "brutal attack" was carried out by "enemies" of Indo-Afghan ties and their "bases are outside Afghanistan." The explosion was reportedly more powerful than the blast of July 7, 2008. In that attack, a suicide car bomber rammed the gate of the embassy, killing 60 people, including senior Indian Foreign Service officer V.V. Rao and Brigadier-rank Defence Attache R.D. Mehta.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on October 15 admitted that the country remains vulnerable to a November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai-style terrorist attack because neighbouring Pakistan is struggling to rein in the Islamist groups blamed for 26/11, reports Times of India. He, however, made it clear that any new attack would be met with a "swift and decisive" response. "My assessment of the vulnerability is that it has remained the same since 26/11. It has not diminished nor has it enhanced", Chidambaram said in an interview to a news agency.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on October 20 said in New Delhi that regular intelligence reports had warned of "imminent attacks" in the country and the Security Forces needed to be prepared to meet any challenge, reports PTI. Addressing the top commanders of three Services (Army, Air Force, Navy), he also said that the situation in India's immediate neighbourhood had worsened, apparently referring to the developments in Pakistan. He referred to November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and the terror strike at the Indian embassy in Kabul earlier this month, which he said was "yet another grim reminder of the forces" that India is pitted against. "There are both state and non-state actors involved in the business of terrorism. India is a democracy and an open society and is, therefore, sometimes highly vulnerable," Manmohan Singh said. He pointed out that there has been no major terrorist attack in India since the 'horrific' Mumbai attacks but said "there are regular Intelligence reports of imminent attacks in the country. This is a matter of deep concern and there is no room for complacency".

According to The Hindu, Security Forces (SFs) were put on high alert in Chennai and its suburbs since the night of October 22 following a letter received at the Adyar Police Station that warned of attacks on important targets. Though the letter did not specify any date or time for an attack, it named the Tamil Nadu Police Academy, Chennai Airport, Officers Training Academy and the "American Embassy" (U.S. Consulate) among others as its targets and challenged the Police to avert the sabotage if they could, Police sources said. According to a source in the intelligence wing of the Police, the letter also listed T. Nagar, Ritchie Street and the Marina beach as possible areas of attack. It warned of an RDX explosion at the Chennai Central Railway Station. However, an official of a United Nations agency based in New Delhi communicated to the Tamil Nadu Police a similar threat perception, based on inputs that were received by the agency. The Chennai Police, meanwhile, enhanced surveillance and manpower deployment at vulnerable places as part of ‘Standard Operating Procedure’. "It could be a prank… but we are not taking any chances. Anti-sabotage checks are being conducted at vantage points and police presence has been stepped up in areas of public gathering," Commissioner of Police T. Rajendran said on October 23.

Security of the Madhya Pradesh (MP) Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been beefed up in wake of a threat letter on October 23, reports Hindustan Times. Though the letter (written in Hindi) bore no address, the sender’s name was stated as Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), said Inspector General A. K Soni adding a team has been assigned to probe the matter. Prima facie it seems to be a fake letter dispatched on the behalf of LeT, still we are investigating it, he said. The letter was reportedly posted at the official address of the Jhansi station superintendent, who subsequently forwarded it to MP Police Head Quarter.

Pakistan-based terrorist outfits the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) are planning to infiltrate terrorists into India to "create mayhem", the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on October 25, asserting that the country's security forces were, however, prepared to meet any external threat, PTI reported. He said Pakistan has no will to prosecute and punish the perpetrators of the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008 and voiced concern over the spread of Taliban in that country, apprehending that the danger could spread to the rest of South Asia, including India. "We go by the information or intelligence that we are able to gather. Our assessment of the inputs flowing into India is that the LeT, the JeM and the Hizbul Mujahideen are planning to infiltrate terrorists into India. Now obviously they are not (not) trying to infiltrate for tourism purposes. They are being infiltrated to India to create mayhem here. Therefore, we say that the threat level has not diminished. That is what the Prime Minister said (in the Commanders Conference). There are many attempts which have been foiled even before they could (materialise)," Chidambaram said in an interview to PTI. Asked how well prepared the country was to meet terrorism inspired from across the border, Chidambaram said, "We are prepared to meet any external threat. As I said, we are building capacity every day, every week, every month. But, in today's world, being vigilant and alert is a 24/7 function."

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in New Delhi on October 27 that massive expansion of the Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMFs) is indicative of inadequacies of State Police, reports ANI. Addressing the Consultative Committee for the Union Ministry of Home Affairs on the topic ‘National Police Mission,’ Chidambaram said: "The police-population ratio in the country is much lower than the desired level of 220 and there is also wide variation among the States. He also drew the attention to other problems like outdated equipment and lack of training." He expressed concern over the lack of efforts made to fill a large number of vacancies which exist in the State Police at lower as well as higher levels. "Inadequacies of police in the States and their over-dependence on the central police forces is not a good sign for the federal structure. The States are now realizing the gravity of the situation and concentrating on recruitment, training and modernization of their police forces," Chidambaram added. "Policing in the country has long been neglected and urgent reforms are needed in the State Police system," the Minister added. He also drew attention to problems like outdated equipment and lack of training.

US investigating agencies have neutralised a plot by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to use an American national for terrorist attacks in Denmark and India, Times of India reported. The man, identified as David Coleman Headley, was one of two suspects arrested early in October 2009 by FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport before he boarded a flight to Philadelphia, from where he was intending to travel to Pakistan to meet Pakistani terrorist handlers, including the fugitive Ilyas Kashmiri. Headley's partner in the terror plot, which included plans to attack the Danish newspaper that published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed, was a Pakistani-Canadian named Tahawwur Hussain Rana, also a resident of Chicago who was arrested by the FBI on October 18. According to the FBI affidavit filed in a Chicago court, Headley was in close contact with Ilyas Kashmiri and several unidentified leaders of LeT, two of whom are identified as "LeT member A" and "Individual A." He had visited Pakistan before to meet LeT handlers and was returning there ostensibly to finalize plans for strikes. "In July and August 2009, Headley exchanged a series of e-mails with LeT Member A, including an exchange in which Headley asked if the Denmark project was on hold, and whether a visit to India that LeT member A had asked him to undertake was for the purpose of surveilling targets for a new terrorist attack," the FBI said in its affidavit. "These e-mails reflect that LeT Member A was placing a higher priority on using Headley to assist in planning a new attack in India than on completing the planned attack in Denmark," it said. Although the affidavit named Kashmiri, it did not identify others involved in the plot, referring to them as LeT member A and Individual A. It said LeT member A "has substantial influence and responsibility within the organization" and his "identity is known to the government."

A Pakistani boat, which had intruded into Indian waters near Sir Creek area of Kutch District in Gujarat, was seized by the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on October 30 but its occupants managed to escape, reports PTI. "During patrolling, a BSF team spotted a boat about 1.5 km from Sir Creek area. On seeing the BSF patrol team, the occupants of the boat dived into sea," BSF officials said. They said that the team "seized the boat and started to track down the occupants. But, due to difficult terrain and thick cover of mangroves, the occupants managed to flee. They had time on their side as the team was far away from the boat." The BSF officials also said that the number of occupants of the boat is not yet known, adding, "We are not sure about number of occupants of the boat as our team was far away from them when they escaped." Later, the boat was found to be a fishing boat that has been brought to the Kutch coast, they added. The BSF has heightened vigil in the area after receiving inputs of increased Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, activities in the creek area, they said.
