The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which so far had focused primarily on India, is having global aspirations and has spread its tentacles beyond Pakistan and Afghanistan, as manifested by the David Headley case, said Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reports Times of India. "Generally, LeT was east, focused on India. They're now in the west. Actually, they're not just in the west, focused on Pakistan. There are LeT elements focused on Afghanistan. We've seen in our own country, recently — with Detroit, with Times Square, with Headley, with Zazi — we've seen an increasing level of distributed threats, if you will, and an ability to expand this federated approach which al-Qaeda has had. And al-Qaeda is at the centre of this and al-Qaida leadership resides in Pakistan," he added. Mullen said he has been raising this concern of his with Pakistan in every meeting he has with their leaders. "If I go back even a couple years, when I first started going to Pakistan on a regular basis, it's an area that I've raised with the military leadership there from day one," he noted.

The Commonwealth Games face a threat from Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other militant outfits, which, according to a US think-tank, may be planning an attack during the event, reports Daily Excelsior. Vice-President of Tactical Intelligence, STRATFOR, Scott Stewart replied in affirmative when asked whether the sporting event scheduled in October faces any terror threat. "Yes. Two days after the February 13, 2010 blast in Pune, Ilyas Kashmiri (wanted al-Qaeda terrorist) threatened the Field Hockey World Cup, the Indian Premier League cricket competition and the Commonwealth Games," Stewart said in an interview. In support of his claims, the STRATFOR analyst quoted a warning of "continue attacks all across India until the Indian Army leaves Kashmir" posted by Kashmiri via the Asia Times Online on February 13, 2010. He, however, added, "Again, we would not expect to hear a threat from a group that was planning an attack, especially the closer we edge to the event they want to attack. They would be very quiet. Publicised threat statements made by militants are not a reliable way to judge the true threat to an event," said the STRATFOR analyst.

Pakistan on July 2 urged the international community to stay engaged in the war-torn country of Afghanistan without interfering in the country’s internal affairs, reports Daily Times. "Long-term objectives of peace, stability and development in Afghanistan can only be realised by respecting its sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity," Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon told the UN Security Council. At the same time, peace and economic development was contingent upon a stable (Afghanistan) Government, enjoying support of the majority people, he said. Participating in a debate at the 15-nation council on the Afghan situation, Haroon said the communiqué issued by a peace jirga (tribal council) in June 2010 was an enabling document to formulate a national strategy for sustainable peace.

The interior minister rejected the comments made by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, that the federal intelligence agencies were not sharing intelligence reports with the Punjab administration. Talking to journalists in Islamabad, Malik said he would resign if it was proven that he has “stopped sharing intelligence with the Punjab Government,” and challenged the Punjab chief minister to resign if proven right. He added that he was ready to face any inquiry and would be pleased, should the PML-N wish to send their people for the inquiry. Malik said it could be possible that Nawaz was not properly informed, adding that Shahbaz Sharif should not distract from the issue.

The Taliban (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, TTP) will soon launch their own ‘media regulatory authority’ to monitor TV channels, radio stations and newspapers to “stop propaganda” against Islam, a TTP spokesman said on July 3, reports Daily Times. “We are working on a Taliban (TTP) media regulatory authority, which should be operational in the next few days. Its main objective is to monitor the media closely, so that no false statement regarding Islam and its ideologies is made, nor any disputed matter is discussed in the media,” Muhammad Omar, a self-proclaimed TTP spokesman said in a statement emailed to media offices. He said, “If anyone tries to carry out such practices, he or she will be fined first. If he or she does not refrain from such practices, then the person will be executed under a suo motu action.” More details would be given soon, Omar added.

BW warned of fresh violence in the District if the two leaders were not released immediately.

In a joint operation, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Tripura Police detained five persons, including a suspected Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operative, Mahim Khan, a Pakistani national, from various parts of West District on July 4, reports Tripurainfo. He entered into Tripura from Bangladesh some days ago and was hiding in various places. Others were his accomplices and harbourers but reported to be Indian nationals. Of them three were picked up from a Tata Indica on July 3 while they were travelling to Sonamura, an extreme border location in West District. Two others were later arrested from Sagar Mahal, a tourist lodge near Neer Mahal. Superintendent of Police of West District Anees Prasad admitted that ‘some detentions were indeed made’ but he declined to make any further comment. “We have been instructed by to maintain tope level secrecy. You can very well guess that it was indeed an important catch”, said an official. He said, “There were reports of Tripura being used as corridor for movements to and fro Bangladesh by Islamic radical elements and also their efforts to set up cells and modules here. But presence of an ISI operative is a significant development”. They also do not rule out ISI’s sinister design to carry out any operation along with Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HUJI-B) using Tripura as a conduit. HUJI-B is reported to have of late been trying to revive to pull off assassination of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Shillong Times reports that Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) runs a stone quarry in Jafflong District of Bangladesh. The outfit is also believed to own several betel nut plantations besides running other business in Bangladesh. A senior Police official confirmed the presence of the stone quarry at Jafflong near the India-Bangladesh border. "We came to know about the existence of a stone quarry owned by the HNLC in Bangladesh from the arrested and surrendered militants," the official said. According to sources, the outfit's daily earning from the quarry amounts to INR 30,000 to INR 40,000. "Inability of the group to carry out extortion drives in Shillong has prompted it to find a new means of earning," the sources claimed. The sources further revealed that HNLC cadres often come through Umngot river to Dawki along with Bangladeshi labourers in boats to collect boulders for the stone quarry. Sources said the vital confessions were made by HNLC's self-styled ‘sergeant major’ Pariston Pakyntein, who was arrested by the Border Security Force (BSF) near Dawki recently. Pakyntein told the police that the stone quarry had been in operation for the last two years and many cadres of the outfit are 'engaged' there. The Police sources believe that strength of the outfit has reduced considerably after many of its senior leaders and cadres were either arrested or surrendered before the Police. The State Police claim that the present cadre strength of the HNLC is below 50. The HNLC top leaders, including ‘general secretary’ Cherishsterfield Thangkiew and ‘commander-in-chief’ Bobby Marwein are still at large and believed to be remote controlling the outfit from Bangladesh.

The arrested Pakistani American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley has said that Ishrat Jahan, who was killed along with three alleged terrorists in 2004 in a Police encounter, was indeed a LeT fidayeen (suicide bomber), reports Times of India. Sources said Headley told interrogators from the National Investigation Agency that Ishrat, a resident of Mumbra in Thane (Maharashtra), was recruited by top LeT ‘commander’ Muzammil who was in-charge of LeT's operations in India till 2007. The LeT had owned up Ishrat immediately after the encounter, with its Lahore-based mouthpiece Ghazwa Times describing her as a LeT activist and taking umbrage at the action of Indian Police in removing her veil. In 2007, however, LeT, in its fresh incarnation as Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), disowned her, by issuing an apology to Ishrat's family for calling her a LeT cadre. Ishrat and Javed were killed along with two Pakistani nationals -- Amjad Ali and Jishan Johar Abdul Ghani -- both alleged LeT terrorists, on June 15, 2004. According to the Police version, they were intercepted on the outskirts of Ahmedabad when they were about to enter the city in a blue Indica on a mission to eliminate Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Two suspected Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) associates, both Bangladeshi nationals, were arrested in an operation by the Mobile Task Force (MTF) at Siddhi Ashram area of Agartala on July 4, reports Sentinel. An MTF contingent arrested two suspects on the southern outskirts of the city on July 3 and recovered arms from their possession. Sources said that the persons were brought for interrogation at the special branch cell and senior Police officials had been interrogating them. Sources said, all the secret services of the country would interrogate the arrested ISI agent during the remand. On July 5 he was produced before the court by East Agartala Police Station. Investigating Officer Sub Inspector Jahangir Hussain sought 14 days Police remand for all the seven arrested. The court granted 10 days Police Remand for the accused. ISI agent Munir Khan, a resident of Bahawalpur in Pakistan, was tasked to monitor Indian Army movements in Punjab as a deep cover operative. The ISI operative- a Pakistani Punjabi himself- was having several aliases like Mahim Khan and Lemar Asraf Khan. His complete identity was also established as ‘son of one Abu Ashraf of Bhawalpur, Mocan (House) no 1180 in Punjab Province of Pakistan’. Officials said Khan, who looks like a common place man with no special feature to attract attention, was handpicked by ISI. He was then trained for three and half months on espionage tradecrafts at Bahawalpur and Multan in Pakistan. The accomplices Ramu Ghosh, Rana Roy, Sujit Saha, Gauranga Dey, Uttam Barman and Tajul Islam gave the ISI operative shelter and provided him with transport facilities. Sources further said that Intelligence Bureau (IB) was monitoring Khan’s movement right from the time he took Dhaka’s flight from Pakistan of before.

Both leaders acknowledged that terrorism was the main hurdle in the way of development of the country. They also agreed that this was not the time for a “blame game”, and instead urged all political parties to work together over the issue of terrorism. The PM also assured full support of the Federal Government to the Punjab Government in dealing with terrorism. In addition, Prime Minister Gilani said that the Government will take action against militants in southern Punjab only if the Interior Ministry, intelligence agencies or the Punjab Government provide solid and credible information about the existence of terrorist outfits in the area. The prime minister said this while talking to the journalists after he visited the Ganga Ram Hospital to inquire after the health of people who had been injured in July 1’s suicide attacks in Data Darbar.

The religious clerics from various schools of thought on July 4 vowed to join hands with the Government to foil terrorists’ designs in order to maintain sectarian harmony in the country, reports Daily Times. They also decided to observe a day against terrorism to express solidarity amongst their ranks. Interior Minister Rehman Malik had called up the exclusive meeting of clerics in the backdrop of the triple suicide bombing on the Data Darbar in Lahore, where 42 people lost their lives. In a joint press briefing after the meeting, Malik said the successful military operation in Malakand division, and the ongoing offensive in South Waziristan had frustrated the terrorists, who were making last-gasp desperate attempts like the Data Darbar attack to undermine peace in Pakistan. He said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Chief Nawaz Sharif had hinted at a “control strategy” to eliminate terrorism and “I welcomed it”. “We will work with the Punjab Government to do away with extremism and continue fighting until peace is restored,” he added. At the end of the briefing, the clerics read out the resolutions passed during the meeting and reiterated the ‘fatwa’, which was issued earlier after consensus was evolved among all 43 clerics. According to the fatwa, all suicide attacks were against the spirit of Islam and humanity. “Whosoever kills a Muslim has nothing to do with the religion of Islam,” the clerics declared unanimously.

In a joint operation, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Tripura Police detained five persons, including a suspected Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operative, Mahim Khan, a Pakistani national, from various parts of West District on July 4, reports Tripurainfo. He entered into Tripura from Bangladesh some days ago and was hiding in various places. Others were his accomplices and harbourers but reported to be Indian nationals. Of them three were picked up from a Tata Indica on July 3 while they were travelling to Sonamura, an extreme border location in West District. Two others were later arrested from Sagar Mahal, a tourist lodge near Neer Mahal. Superintendent of Police of West District Anees Prasad admitted that ‘some detentions were indeed made’ but he declined to make any further comment. “We have been instructed by to maintain tope level secrecy. You can very well guess that it was indeed an important catch”, said an official. He said, “There were reports of Tripura being used as corridor for movements to and fro Bangladesh by Islamic radical elements and also their efforts to set up cells and modules here. But presence of an ISI operative is a significant development”. They also do not rule out ISI’s sinister design to carry out any operation along with Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HUJI-B) using Tripura as a conduit. HUJI-B is reported to have of late been trying to revive to pull off assassination of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Shillong Times reports that Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) runs a stone quarry in Jafflong District of Bangladesh. The outfit is also believed to own several betel nut plantations besides running other business in Bangladesh. A senior Police official confirmed the presence of the stone quarry at Jafflong near the India-Bangladesh border. "We came to know about the existence of a stone quarry owned by the HNLC in Bangladesh from the arrested and surrendered militants," the official said. According to sources, the outfit's daily earning from the quarry amounts to INR 30,000 to INR 40,000. "Inability of the group to carry out extortion drives in Shillong has prompted it to find a new means of earning," the sources claimed. The sources further revealed that HNLC cadres often come through Umngot river to Dawki along with Bangladeshi labourers in boats to collect boulders for the stone quarry. Sources said the vital confessions were made by HNLC's self-styled ‘sergeant major’ Pariston Pakyntein, who was arrested by the Border Security Force (BSF) near Dawki recently. Pakyntein told the police that the stone quarry had been in operation for the last two years and many cadres of the outfit are 'engaged' there. The Police sources believe that strength of the outfit has reduced considerably after many of its senior leaders and cadres were either arrested or surrendered before the Police. The State Police claim that the present cadre strength of the HNLC is below 50. The HNLC top leaders, including ‘general secretary’ Cherishsterfield Thangkiew and ‘commander-in-chief’ Bobby Marwein are still at large and believed to be remote controlling the outfit from Bangladesh.

Sources said that the persons were brought for interrogation at the special branch cell and senior Police officials had been interrogating them. Sources said, all the secret services of the country would interrogate the arrested ISI agent during the remand. On July 5 he was produced before the court by East Agartala Police Station. Investigating Officer Sub Inspector Jahangir Hussain sought 14 days Police remand for all the seven arrested. The court granted 10 days Police Remand for the accused. ISI agent Munir Khan, a resident of Bahawalpur in Pakistan, was tasked to monitor Indian Army movements in Punjab as a deep cover operative. The ISI operative- a Pakistani Punjabi himself- was having several aliases like Mahim Khan and Lemar Asraf Khan. His complete identity was also established as ‘son of one Abu Ashraf of Bhawalpur, Mocan (House) no 1180 in Punjab Province of Pakistan’. Officials said Khan, who looks like a common place man with no special feature to attract attention, was handpicked by ISI. He was then trained for three and half months on espionage tradecrafts at Bahawalpur and Multan in Pakistan. The accomplices Ramu Ghosh, Rana Roy, Sujit Saha, Gauranga Dey, Uttam Barman and Tajul Islam gave the ISI operative shelter and provided him with transport facilities. Sources further said that Intelligence Bureau (IB) was monitoring Khan’s movement right from the time he took Dhaka’s flight from Pakistan of before.

The Security Forces (SFs) on July 5 arrested an associate of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘district commander’ from Bonjwah area falling under the jurisdiction of Kishtwar Police Station, reports Daily Excelsior. The arrestee has been identified as Abdul Latief Bhat alias Hafiz Latif. From his possession, one mobile phone and three SIM cards were recovered which he used to furnish information about the movements of Army, Kishtwar Police and Special Operations Group to LeT ‘district commander’ Issaf Ahmed Bhat (code Atiq), a resident of Ghoni in Kishtwar. The spokesman said that Abdul Latief was also providing shelter and eatables to the LeT militants, particularly ‘district commander’. Sources also said that it was only due to information about the movement of SFs being provided by Abdul Latief that the SFs were not getting the ‘district commander’ despite several operations during the past one-month. "The arrest of Abdul Latief is a great set-back to the outfit and we are sure to bust all the hide-outs of the commander besides getting information about the plans of the outfit", they said, adding "the recovery of four SIM cards from the possession of Abdul Latief clearly indicates that terrorists continued to have free assess to the SIM cards of different cellular service providers despite stringent verification norms".

Khulna city ameer (chief) of JeI, Mian Golam Parwar, and nine others of the party were sent to Khulna District Jail. The Police interrogated them after taking them on remand twice since their arrest on June 30. During the interrogation, the arrested JeI and ICS leaders have given many important information about their plan for carrying out destructive activities in the city. Three detained JeI leaders disclosed during interrogation that they took up a three-month-long campaign across the country to foil the move of trying the war criminals of 1971. In the face of intensive interrogation, they admitted that they allocated BDT 6.6 million for the campaign project for holding seminars and symposiums across the country, said a top Police official interrogating the JeI leaders. The Jamaat leaders, against whom there is ample evidence of atrocity during the Liberation War, have also formed a committee to prepare a list of war criminals. "The committee has already prepared a list of 50 war criminals which mostly contains the names of Awami League leaders," said the official seeking anonymity.

Taking advantage of the new violence in Kashmir, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘chief’ Syed Salahuddin on July 6 addressed a rally in Islamabad to ‘‘denounce human rights violations in Kashmir’’, reports Times of India. Salahuddin has found himself increasingly isolated as the militant violence in the Valley waned to an all-time low since 1989. The HM, which was once Jammu and Kashmir’s largest indigenous group, has fragmented and July 6’s rally is seen as his desperate attempt to stage a comeback. Salahuddin assailed Islamabad for trying to please New Delhi and extending a warm welcome to Home Minister P Chidambaram last month. ‘‘Pakistan’s constant efforts to befriend India are like rubbing salt into the wounds of Kashmiris,’’ he said. Salahuddin claimed Kashmiris consider Pakistan as their lawful representative to raise the Kashmir issue at national and international level.

Taking advantage of the new violence in Kashmir, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘chief’ Syed Salahuddin on July 6 addressed a rally in Islamabad to ‘‘denounce human rights violations in Kashmir’’, reports Times of India. Salahuddin has found himself increasingly isolated as the militant violence in the Valley waned to an all-time low since 1989. The HM, which was once Jammu and Kashmir’s largest indigenous group, has fragmented and July 6’s rally is seen as his desperate attempt to stage a comeback. Salahuddin assailed Islamabad for trying to please New Delhi and extending a warm welcome to Home Minister P Chidambaram last month. ‘‘Pakistan’s constant efforts to befriend India are like rubbing salt into the wounds of Kashmiris,’’ he said. Salahuddin claimed Kashmiris consider Pakistan as their lawful representative to raise the Kashmir issue at national and international level.

Assam Tribune reports that the recent arrest of an agent of Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agent in Tripura foiled a game plan of the Pakistani agency to create a new network in the Northeast States including Assam. Security sources said that one of the tasks given to the ISI agent Omar Ashraf alias Momin Khan was to create a network of “sleeper agents” in the Northeast region. Sources said that Omar was a well trained ISI agent and after receiving his training in Pakistan, he was sent to Dhaka, Bangladesh from where he managed to sneak into India by taking advantage of the porous international border. After completion of his initial job of establishing a network of contacts in the Northeast, he was to be posted in either Western of Northern India to work as a “sleeping agent” and work for the Pakistani agency whenever required. He was planning to board a flight out of Tripura when he was trapped, sources added. This was not his first visit to India and in the past also, he visited the Northeast region and during questioning by the Police and security agencies, he admitted that he even visited Guwahati during his previous visit and stayed for a few days.

While the bandh had almost no impact in the urban centres, areas lying on the forest fringes witnessed a complete shutdown on the first day of the bandh.

British Police on July 7 arrested a Pakistani national suspected of being an al-Qaeda operative in north-eastern England after US authorities issued a warrant for his arrest, reports The News. Abid Naseer (24) is sought by the United States on charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organisation, conspiring to provide material support, and conspiracy to use a destructive device. He was arrested by British counter-terrorism Police in 2009 on suspicion of plotting mass casualty attacks in England and of being an operative of al-Qaeda, although he was never charged. The British government subsequently tried to deport him but while an immigration court acknowledged he was “an al-Qaeda operative who posed and still poses a serious threat,” it ruled his safety could not be guaranteed in Pakistan. Naseer was due to appear in court on July 7 in connection with the US arrest warrant, Police said. “Naseer has been arrested in the UK pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant issued on July 7, 2010, at the request of the US Government.”

Intelligence reports on July 7 revealed that after the destruction of the terrorists’ communication systems and the disruption of their supply lines by law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and the Pakistan Army, the terrorists were planning to expedite suicide attacks across the country through suicide bombers and explosives-laden vehicles, according to Daily Times. Intelligence reports said that terrorists in Khyber Agency, Orakzai Agency and Malakand Division, including Swat, are gathering at Darra Adam Khel, which has now become their new safe haven. The intelligence reports said that after the damage caused to their communication system during the month of June by LEAs and the Army, the terrorists were now using the “rifle rod antenna system”, which is a weaker kind of communications system, and is easily detectable by LEAs. The reports added that the terrorists had planned suicide attacks in Khyber Agency, and in this connection, numerous explosives-laden vehicles and suicide bombers had been prepared in the area by the terrorists. Another report warned that a stolen vehicle, registered in the name of a military officer, was likely to be used in a terrorist attack. The report said that the vehicle bears a sticker of the Staff College Headquarter 12 Division and bears registration number Z-7813, Sindh. The vehicle of Lt Colonel Akhter Ahmed Khalil of Headquarter 5 Corps was stolen from Karachi on an unspecified date. LEAs have been advised to immediately put security across the country on high alert and take all necessary steps to recover the stolen vehicle.

Assam Tribune reports that official sources said that the Government of India is likely to wait for the ULFA leaders to make the first move for talks. A delegation of the Sanmilita Jatiya Abhibartan (SJA) recently met the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister with the request to start the talk’s process. Sources said that the stand of the Government of India on the issue of talks with any militant group is very clear. To start the process of talks, the militant groups must abjure violence and all talks must be held within the framework of the Constitution of India. The ULFA leaders have not so far announced their willingness to come for talks within the framework of the Constitution of India and the Centre would start the process only after receiving a formal communication from the top leaders of the outfit, sources added. Sources further clarified that as the top leaders of the ULFA including the ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa were under judicial custody, the Government cannot release them. However, they can obtain bail from the court if the State Government does not oppose their bail plea and so far no such decision has been taken, sources added.

The anti-talks faction of the NDFB said that they could not be stopped despite the tall claims of the Government, reports Telegraph The NDFB statement said the attack was in response to the shabby treatment meted out to its leader Ranjan Daimary and the killing of innocent Bodo youths by the SFs. This had led to the outfit losing its patience and forcing it into triggering the blast. It also said since its cadres were ready to die for Bodoland, the Government should take the initiative to resolve the genuine demands of the outfit submitted to the Union Government in May 2008. SFs described the action as NDFB’s way of showing it existed and couldn’t be trifled with even if its leader, Daimary, was in jail.

Troops in Nagaland are probing the possibility of a link between the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and China after arresting two suspected Chinese nationals who were returning from the outfit’s camp at Dzukou Valley in Kohima District last week, according to Telegraph. Sources on July 8 said the Chinese nationals were picked up from Mon District of Nagaland, bordering Tirap District of Arunachal Pradesh, after residents tipped off a patrolling team of Assam Rifles about the duo’s suspicious movements. An official in the security establishment said, “Assam Rifles jawans picked up two Chinese nationals from Mon district of Nagaland last week. The security forces, which were tipped off about the suspicious movements of the duo by local people, swung into action and intercepted them. The two were detained after they were unable to show any visa or valid document. They also admitted that they were returning from Dzukou Valley-based NSCN (K) camp. From preliminary investigation, it appears they could be Chinese nationals employed to carry out espionage activities.”

The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha on July 8 briefed parliamentarians about the ongoing war against terrorism during an in-camera meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS), according to Daily Times. The three-hour meeting was held at the Parliament House under the chairmanship of Senator Raza Rabbani. According to sources, the ISI DG comprehensively briefed the parliamentarians about the prevailing situation in the country and the ongoing operation against the Taliban. During the briefing, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazalur Rehman said that he would not support the Government if a military operation was launched in North Waziristan. “Dialogue and negotiations are the best options to deal with the threat of terrorism,” he said. The sources said Fazl criticised US policies in the war against terrorism and demanded the Government end its cooperation with US authorities. Sources, however, said Haider Abbas Rizvi from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) supported the military operation against local Taliban in North Waziristan. He also urged the Government to “tighten the grip” on elements who are supporting the Taliban. The sources said that the committee chairman briefed the parliamentarians over the Government’s stance regarding the ongoing war on terror and appreciated the support of all political parties in this regard. Later, while talking to journalists, Rabbani said that Pakistan was an independent and sovereign country and the Government would decide when and where to launch military operations.

A fast-track court in Thiruvananthapuram dismissed the anticipatory bail petition of People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts case, reported Times of India. Madani was recently made one of the accused in the Bangalore serial blasts case after the Police filed a second chargesheet saying he had sheltered its masterminds and also visited Somawarpet to participate in the conspiracy. Madani was shown as absconding and the court, after accepting the chargesheet, issued a non-bailable warrant against him. Madani (45), who formed Islamic Seva Sangha (ISS) in Kerala, was earlier an accused in the Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) blast case, which targeted former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani. He was acquitted in that case in 2008. Madani is holed up with his supporters at Anwarasseri in Kollam District.

In a fresh terror input, intelligence agencies have alerted the State Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and various security agencies about the possible penetration of 31 operatives of Bangladesh-based outfits — Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) — into India for carrying out terror strikes, reported Times of india. The one-page alert, marked "secret", contains specific information about 31 HuJI terrorists who are ready to infiltrate into India. "The members of HuJI are planning to come to India through the Bangladesh border. They will reach Kolkata in small groups. A person called Yusuf Saloni, a resident of Munshidanga (there is an area in Kolkata that is called Munshibazar), will receive them and make arrangements for their accommodation in different lodges," the alert reads. The security agencies are tracking Saloni who is suspected to be linked to several banned outfits. Mumbai Police has been asked to keep personnel on high alert but the prime targets of the group have been stated to be New Delhi and Kolkata. "However, the group may move to other cities as well," the alert states. "The American consulate is the prime target. The group will stay in Kolkata for 10 days and then move out for its operation. It has to execute its operation before August 15 and will return to Bangladesh," the alert further states. It also said some railway stations could be on its target list. Alerts have been issued by intelligence agencies in the last few months but none has contained such specific information. Mumbai Police last year had received around 140 such threat alerts but all of them were non-actionable. "Policemen are visiting lodges, hotels and rented flats to make inquiries. We cannot take any alert lightly. Mumbai has always been on priority list of the terror outfits," a Police officer said. Security at foreign consulates in Mumbai and railway stations has been stepped up.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) have shifted some of their cadre to Kulgam and Shopian areas from Mahore in Reasi District reportedly after getting a SOS from their ‘commanders’ based in Kashmir Valley, reports Daily Excelsior. Intelligence reports said a HM’s ‘district commander’ Hanief Mohammad alias Basharat, a known motivator of youths into militancy who was operating in Mahore for past several years, has recently crossed over to Kulgam along with his couple of associates two to three days back on being called by his Valley based ‘commanders’. Three LeT militants led by Abu Qatil have also moved to Kulgam and Shopian areas bordering Mahore through Pir Panjal range during the past few days along with arms and ammunition, reports said. Security Forces (SFs) and Police have intercepted a number of messages of the militants which confirmed departure of Basharat and Qatil along with their associates from upper reaches of Mahore to surrounding Kashmir areas of Kulgam and Shopian. Due to their migration, the activities of remaining cadre of LeT and HM outfits have virtually come to a standstill despite the fact that 14 militants, including four to five foreign mercenaries were still active in Mahore, Arnas and Chasana areas. Reports added that there could be some other reasons also behind migration of the militants from Mahore to Kulgam and Shopian though the apparent cause at this stage appeared to be latest upsurge in Kashmir which the LeT and HM outfits are trying to exploit to the best possible extent. Mounting pressure of Army and police against the militants especially their leadership in Mahore might have also forced the militants to take refuge in some "safe shelter houses’’ in Kulgam, Shopian and surrounding areas for the time being. Recent incidents of inter-group rivalry among the LeT and HM cadre in Mahore in which some militants have been killed could also be a reason for some militants shifting to Kashmir to get the differences sorted out with the help of their ‘commanders’, reports added further. Few days back, Security Forces and Police had recovered skeleton of a militant in Mahore which was later identified as that of Zubair Gujjar, a LeT militant, who had been shot dead by Irfan Kashmiri, a HM ‘area commander’. Investigations had revealed that Zubair was killed by Irfan Kashmiri to take the revenge of his colleague Abu Talha, a HM militant from Kashmir operating in Mahore-Gool-Gulabgarh belt for past several years. Reports said Hanief alias Basharat, a HM ‘commander’ and Abu Qatil, a LeT militant might have been called by their group leaders for a truce between the two outfits before they suffer more losses.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has released undated transcripts of conversations between a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terrorist based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and a local contact who was under surveillance by intelligence agencies, Times of India reported. Union Home secretary G. K. Pillai told Doordarshan that there were a "large number of intercepts" from Kashmir and across the border, which clearly indicated that efforts were being made to foment "public disorder". Pillai also said money was flowing from a variety of sources to fund the Jammu and Kashmir unrest. "In about 12 cases, we have found illegitimate transfers and we have taken action," he added. In fact, one of the intercepts discussed the absence of Army deployment in Shopian and Pulwama, indicating those areas could be the target. The intercepts have revealed yet again the role of separatists in fuelling unrest in the State.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is a growing threat to the US and the Western world, Times of India quoting a new investigative report said on July 9. The report by the US-based organisation, Investigative Project on Terrorism, quotes Gen David Petraeus, now commander of the Afghan campaign, telling the Senate a few months ago, "There's no question but that there are elements in Pakistan that have not yet been the focus of the Pakistani counter-insurgency efforts...obviously India has expressed its concern as well. The rise of LeT and the need to take action against it has been a 'source of dialogue' with Pakistani authorities." The report says Westerners who underwent training in LeT's camps include Australian David Hicks, shoe-bomber Richard Reid and Dhiren Barot who had masterminded a failed gas cylinder bombing in London. What makes it difficult to mount a concerted international action against the group is the fact that in Pakistan they enjoy an unprecedented popular and State support. The report details growing cooperation among LeT and al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, the Afghan Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).

The Pakistan Rangers violated cease-fire and resorted to heavy indiscriminate and unprovoked firing on the International Border at Mawa in Samba sector in the night of July 10, reports Daily Excelsior. The firing appeared to be aimed at pushing infiltrators into this side as forward village of Mawa was just few kilometres away from Jammu-Pathankot National Highway, which was being used by Amarnath yatris (Hindu pilgrims) to reach Jammu and Srinagar.

The Military Council (MC) faction of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) on July 11 stated that its missing of its ‘chief of central finance’, Lanchenba Meitei, remained untraceable since boarding a flight on February 6 from Delhi to Guwahati. The outfit said that following a report about arrest of its leader by Security Forces on February 7, the outfit handed over a sum of INR one million to a prominent personality of the State to secure safe release of the arrested cadre. The outfit also stated that there was a report about Lanchenba being spotted somewhere in Shillong and a ransom demand of INR five million made to his wife by an anonymous caller. Further, the newly floated group of the MC faction of the KCP led by Lalhaba declared that the outfit would handle all the pending cases once handled by ‘chief of central finance’ Lanchenba and ‘military affairs committee’ Lanheiba. The outfit said the decision to handle the pending cases was taken during the five day long meet of the outfit’s ‘central security council’. It said amongst the pending cases is one having with a cell phone dealer in Imphal which it directed to halt all its business from July 13 till the case is resolved or face action of the outfit. Another pending case is about mismanagement of over INR 4.6 million meant for distribution to flood victims in Bishnupur District in the year 2008-09, the outfit said and maintained that the key men involved in the case would be dealt with.

The process of shifting the leaders to a special jail would involve the judiciary, which has to give permission to move out anyone in judicial custody. The step would meet halfway the demand from various quarters and the jailed leaders themselves for their release for talks. Holding the leaders in these special jails would mean they are not in prisons and yet they would remain in custody. Pillai said the same formula would apply to United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leaders as well. Further, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on July 11 said the peace process was on and there was no “stalemate”, as apprehended by the steering committee, and asked elusive ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua to come forward for negotiation.

The Security Forces (SFs) shot dead two top ‘commanders’ of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) including a foreign mercenary in two successful operations in Keshwan area of Kishtwar District and Kalakote areas of Rajouri District on July 11, according to Daily Excelsior. Operations at both the places were going on with a group of at least seven more LeT militants including a couple of foreigners being searched in Keshwan while at least one or two militants managed to escape from Kalakote gun-battle. The militants were spotted which led to a heavy exchange of gun-battle between the two sides. In the initial round of cross-firing, one militant of the LeT outfit was killed in the evening. Other militants escaped deep into the forest area and were being chased. Of seven militants at large, at least two were foreign mercenaries while five other were locals of Kishtwar and Doda Districts. The slain militant was identified as Imtiyaz Hussain son of Ghulam Mohammad Rather, a resident of Koti Basti of Doda. One AK rifle, two magazines, 38 rounds, three grenades, a radio set and some other items were so far recovered from the encounter site. Sources said the group of eight militants was holding a meeting in Keshwan forests to devise a fresh strategy of recruitment of new youth into militancy and give a spurt to militant activities not only in Kishtwar but neighbouring Doda District. They also planned to target Amarnath yatra (Hindu pilgrimage) either on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway or at the base camp of Jammu.

Nagaland Page reports that four militant groups of Manipur, United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Khaplang (NSCN- K) have jointly decided to put up a joint front against the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) in Manipur, following a senior level meeting held in Bangladesh recently. According to sources, United National Liberation Front (UNLF), People's Liberation Army (PLA), ULFA, Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) and NSCN-K discussed the prevailing situation in Manipur and Nagaland and expressed their satisfaction in putting up a joint front against NSCN-IM in Manipur. UNLF ‘chairman’, R.K. Meghan reiterated the aim to achieve independence of Manipur and integration of Kabaw valley of Myanmar. He expressed his desire of having good relationship with the NSCN-K, PLA and ULFA. Meghan also pressed upon having strong bondage with Paresh Baruah, ‘commander-in-chief’ of ULFA in restoring glory of Ahoms and Meitei confederacy. Sources said Meghan believed that bulk of Myanmar’s population on border areas support UNLF's struggle for independence and would join their confederacy for prosperity. He was of the view that if Myanmar’s people did not support them, how they could survive their areas. He was of the opinion that after elections in Myanmar, Military Junta would lose control and people would raise their voices in uniting Kabaw with independent Manipur. UNLF and PLA camps in Manipur are the first step towards achieving their objective of establishing Kangleipak including Kabaw Valley, he said. The PLA emphasized on the aspect of having good nexus with the Communist Party of India- Maoist (CPI-Maoist), insurgent groups of Jammu and Kashmir and Northeast. PLA declared their vision of having a joint militant group to be evolved as 'United Front'. Maoist parties of foreign countries are keen to forge relations with them. Sources said that the facts about this meeting came out during the interrogation of the two Chinese nationals, who were arrested by the Security Forces at Mon in Nagaland recently. During interrogation, they revealed that the Chinese have promised to extend assistance only to the militant groups when the cadre strength reaches 30,000. United Front so formed will be able to get Chinese support and fight the enemy to achieve sovereignty. PLA on its part will extend support to Burmese people for their rights in days to come.

He was abducted by four militants at his New Checkon cement shop on July 10 and they demanded INR one million for his release. Claiming that the abductors finally agreed for an amount of INR 200, 000 as he pleaded inability to meet the demanded amount, Umesh said the agreed sum was handed over to the abductors at a designated spot by his wife, Ragini, on July 12. Instead of setting Umesh free on receipt of the amount, the armed persons insisted that more money be paid for his release, the trader said, and added that while discussions were on for his release a gun battle broke out between the Asssam Rifles troopers and the abductors on July 13, resulting in the captors fleeing towards the hilly terrain.

Addressing the Chief Ministers of Naxal (Left Wing Extremism)-affected States in New Delhi, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram gave figures to underscore the gravity of the challenge posed by Naxalite (Left Wing Extremist) groups, reports Indian Express. He said between 2004 and 2008, the Naxalites had killed about 500 civilians every year. This number rose to 591 in 2009. In just the first six months of this year, 325 civilians have been killed in Naxal violence, a figure that senior Home Ministry officials concede is a conservative calculation. The casualties amongst the Security Forces, are in the range of 150 to 200 every year for the past few years. This year 209 security personnel have already lost their lives to Naxal violence. According to a confidential note on the internal security situation circulated to Union ministers, the Government has admitted that in the first six months of this year, Naxalite activity was noticed in as many as 158 Districts of the country, a sharp increase from the 133 districts where Naxalites were seen to be active in the previous year. Incidents of Naxal violence this year have been reported from 85 districts. In 2009, violent incidents were limited to only 67 Districts. In fact, four Districts and 17 police stations witnessed incidents of Naxal violence for the first time in their history.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on July 14 advocated a concerted national strategy to combat the Naxal (Left Wing Extremist) menace and made a fervent plea that the country must rise above the constriction that Naxalism was the concern of any single State, reports The Hindu. Raman Singh was speaking at a meeting of Chief Ministers of the Naxal (Left Wing Extremism)-affected States, specially convened by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He said there was no alternative, except armed response to the Naxalite violence as Naxals were against the Indian Constitution, democracy, poor people and development. According to intelligence reports of the State machinery, he said, the Dandakarnaya special zonal committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) had seven divisions and 32 area committees, under which 50,000 Naxal and Jan-militia cadres were engaged in waging a war against the country's democratic set-up. More than 40 per cent of the encounters in the country with Maoists took place in Bastar. “Naxalites are trying to make Bastar their base area. They have formed a battalion and now they are working to form a brigade.'' The Chief Minister said the State Government was recruiting 3,000 to 4,000 Police personnel every year. In 2009, about 6,700 personnel were recruited and the number of recruitments would be 4,000 in 2010. With the Union Government's support, he said, three Counter Insurgency and Anti-Terrorist schools were being opened within a month. “It is our estimate that at least 10 more battalions are urgently required for fighting Naxalites.'' He said 119 Naxalites were killed in the State and this was the highest in the country.

Describing Naxals (Left Wing Extremists) as “a part of our society,” Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on July 14 warned that “enforcement action alone” would not do. He said such an approach would only lead to “wider alienation” of such elements “making heroes out of the leaders of the extremist organisations and leading to only symptomatic treatment, leaving the underlying disease to reappear in a more virulent form.” He pressed for an integrated approach to deal with the problem. “It cannot be disputed that intensive all-round development is the final solution for the left-wing extremism problem,” Nitish Kumar said. Addressing the meeting of Maoist-affected States convened by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi, Kumar attacked the Central Government, saying it was not providing adequate support to his State for tackling Naxalism (Left Wing Extremism). Times of India adds that Nitish Kumar further said, "To augment this [Bihar’s attempt to keep the situation under check despite handicaps], we have raised a Special Auxiliary Police by employing ex-servicemen. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get the sanctioned number even after relaxing the employment conditions and raising the allowances."

Intelligence agencies had earlier received reports that a 15-member ULFA group had entered Dibrugarh District from Myanmar through Tirap District of Arunachal Pradesh. They said the group has hardcore cadres like Samudra Nirmaliya and Gojen Konwar. However, the 15 to 20-member group was not moving together. “They have split into groups of two or three and are working in areas like Joypur, Tingkhong, Namrup, Naharkatia, Duliajan and Moran. They have also served extortion notes to some businessmen,” a Police official said. “Ulfa is desperately trying to make its presence felt in Upper Assam by making efforts to rebuild its network in the villages,” the official added. The Police also believe that the hardliners within ULFA were encouraged by the fact that the direct talks between the Centre and the outfit were not making much headway.

Sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) team, which questioned David Coleman Headley in Chicago (United States) in June told Rediff.com that their interrogation focused on the involvement of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) officers in the 26/11 attacks. The NIA sources said Headley revealed that three ISI officers -- Major Haroon, Major Sameer Ali and Major Iqbal -- were associated with the 26/11 terror plot. According to NIA sources, Headley told them that the ISI and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) jointly planned the attacks. Headley's revelations match statements of al Qaeda operative Ilyas Kashmiri made recently to a Pakistani Website. Kashmiri planned the terror siege, originally called the Bombay Project. But the ISI involved the LeT as it felt the organisation was better equipped to strike in India. All those involved, barring LeT founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and the three ISI officers, worked on the operation on a need-to-know basis, Headley told the NIA team. He revealed that Saeed scrutinised each and every detail of the Bombay Project. LeT terrorists involved in the conspiracy sought Saeed's permission if they needed leave, Headley disclosed. He added that when his wife complained to Saeed that her husband never had any time for her, she was told that the Bombay Project would suffer if Headley was granted time off from his deadly mission.

The Delhi Police on July 14 claimed before a court that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) had allegedly carried out September 13, 2008 serial blasts in Delhi at the instance of its founder, now Pakistan-based Amir Raza Khan, according to PTI. "Amir wanted to avenge the death of his brother Asif Raza Khan in a Police encounter in 2001.

Mohan was putting forth the arguments before Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Santosh Snehi Mann on charges to be framed against 14 suspected IM terrorists arrested so far in connection with the case.

All the Chief Ministers and the Governor [of Jharkhand] were positive in their approach, fully cooperative and committed to working together to deal with the Maoist menace. In the medium to long-term, we can overcome the challenge of Left-wing extremism.” Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, however, felt there was no immediate need for a unified command. Even the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) did not consider it necessary to have such a command in these three states.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on July 14 that 20 counter-insurgency and anti-terrorism schools would be set up in the Naxal (left wing extremism)-affected States. He was talking to reporters after a meeting of the Chief Ministers of the affected States. The meeting approved raising 34 new battalions of the India Reserve Battalion (IRB) for combating the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). The States were asked to fill up around 97,000 vacancies in the Police forces. The authorities required a large number of helicopters to help the forces on the ground, but only 20 additional copters could be obtained from the Air Force, which is pulling out some of them from United Nations' duties. Asked about his plan of “revisiting'' the deployment of the Central forces depending upon operational or developmental needs, he said the deployment of paramilitary forces was revisited in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa. The common demand of the Naxal-affected States at the meeting was inclusion of more Districts on the list of 35 taken up for focussed development. They wanted extension of the scheme for reimbursement of Security Related Expenditure to more than the present 83 Districts.

With Naxal (left wing extremism)-hit States collectively reporting Police vacancies to the tune of 97,000 personnel, the Chief Ministers have agreed to set up committees — headed by the respective chief secretary — to evaluate the openings and monitor the progress in filing up all the posts in a time-bound manner, reports Times of India. The Centre will, on its part, increase the intake of young personnel from Maoist-hit areas in paramilitary forces through fresh recruitment. These decisions were taken during the meeting of Chief Ministers of Naxal-affected States with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on July 14. "The committees — one each in all the seven Naxal-affected states - will also develop an appropriate incentive package for posting of police personnel in difficult areas and also ensure their deployment in a time-bound manner in the respective state," said a senior Union Home Ministry official. Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh will set up these panels. Though these states have already recruited nearly 80,000 personnel in the past one year or so, the backlog and attrition — mainly due to retirement — have led to the vacancies at around 97,000." These states have been asked to fill up at least one-third of the total vacancy by the end of this year," said a Union Home Ministry official. The committee will also monitor raising of 13 extra India Reserve Battalions (13,000 personnel) and recruiting 16,000 Special Police Officers (SPOs) in the respective State. At present, these states have collectively 13,500 SPOs and 21,000 personnel. Of the total sanctioned strength of 16,000 SPOs, Chhattisgarh — the worst-hit State — will alone recruit 3,000 personnel.

Faisal Shehzad, the man arrested for plotting car bombing in New York’s Times Square appeared in a video on Al-Arabiya television on July 14 in which he said he planned to attack the United States, reports The News. “This attack on the United States will be a revenge for all the Mujahideen... and oppressed Muslims, including ... Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (the late leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq), î said Faisal Shahzad”. The recording, whose authenticity could not immediately be confirmed, was made in English and had an Arabic voiceover. “I will carry this attack on their behalf, and I hope that it will please Muslims,” Faisal Shahzad said in the first video linking him to the abortive May 1 bomb plot and al-Qaeda. “With Jihad (holy war), the basis of Islam can be enforced and the word of Allah and his religion will prevail,” he said. “Abandoning Jihad destroys the religion and puts Muslims in an insulting position as they get robbed of land and authority,” he added. Dressed in the attire of Afghan fighters with a black turban and a trimmed beard, Shahzad appeared in a video that carried the “Umar Media” brand, with an AK-47 rifle apparently added by video editing to his left. “Eight years have passed since the war in Afghanistan. You will see that the Muslims’ war has just started, and we will tell you how Islam will spread all over the world,” he said, reading at some point from a book. Dubai-based Al-Arabiya said the video was 40-minutes long. It said Shahzad appeared in the video with Faqir Mohammed, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader in Bajaur Agency, but such footage was not aired.

Days after seeking issuance of Non Bailable Warrants (NBW) against David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, involved in 26/11 attacks, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 15 withdrew its application realising its mistake that the agency should not have had requested the court for their NBW in the first place as both of them are already in judicial custody in United Sates (US) with which India has an extradition treaty. The NIA had last week approached the court seeking NBWs for Headley, Rana and six Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, including Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed. The agency, however, told the court on July 15 that it is still pursuing the issuance of NBWs against six other LeT members who are in Pakistan with which India does not have an extradition treaty. Besides Headley and Rana, now in the custody of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the US, the NIA had made Lakhvi, Saeed, Major Iqbal, Major Sameer Ali, Sajid Mir and Abdul Rehman accused in its First Information Report filed on November 11, 2009. They have been booked under various provisions of the IPC, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and SAARC Convention (Suppression of Terrorism) Act, dealing with waging war against the Government of India, conspiracy and procuring arms and ammunition.

Shillong Times reports that five Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) cadres were detained under the Meghalaya Preventive Detention Act (MPDA) 1995 with maximum imprisonment for three years. They were identified as Salte Momin, Martin K. Sangma, Rikrik M. Sangma, Neulash M. Sangma and Pinsai S. Sangma. They were brought under the non-bailable Act due to their in crimes like extortion and intimidation. "The intention of the militant organization was to create a fear psychosis in the minds of local businessmen and extract hefty sum as extortion by serving demand notes," Deputy Commissioner (DC) of East Garo Hills District Pravin Bakhsi said on July 15. They were found to have served demand notes on lessees of weigh bridges, coal merchants and local businessmen and thus terrorized the people in general, the DC said. According to Pravin Bakhsi, the GNLA, more active in East Garo Hills is engaged in "subversive activities and has no ideological moorings except large-scale extortion and kidnapping for ransom in the name of waging war against the state for creation of a separate Garo entity." He said it had demanded money from many Government officials working in East Garo Hills by short message service or by demand notes. According to the DC, one of the cadres booked under MPDA, Martin K. Sangma, who is born and brought up in Nagaland, was entrusted with the expansion of the terror network of the GNLA in Nagaland and training of their cadres in Nagaland under the aegis of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM).

Troop claimed of having established a link between the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and the Manipur-based People’s Liberation Army (PLA) with the arrest of three PLA militants, including self-styled captain R.K. Tumba alias Benjamin, from a rented house at Chandmari in Guwahati in the night of July 15. A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) official involved in the operation said documents indicating links between the two outfits had been recovered from the arrested militants. The official said all police stations in lower Assam, where the NDFB had a presence, had been alerted to the possibility of strikes. He said notwithstanding the alerts, the militants had an advantage over security forces as they could decide the time and place of the strikes. “Impeccable intelligence, and not just the number of security personnel at our command, is the only guard against such attacks. In this cat-and-mouse game, you win some but you also lose some,” he added.

A special meeting of the Sri Lankan Cabinet, chaired by President Mahinda Rajapakse, held at Kilinochchi town in the Northern Province approved an emergency loan of USD 150 million from Asian Development Bank (ADB) for re-construction of the damaged power and water infrastructure in the Northern and Eastern provinces, reports The Hindu. Briefing the media on July 15 on the decisions taken by the meeting Cabinet spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella said the loan from the ADB would be provided to the Electricity Board and the National Water Supply and Drainage Board for reconstruction of the damaged assets in the Northern Province. Rambukwella said the Cabinet had approved the proposal to reconstruct the 50-kilometres-long A-34 high way from Mankulam to Mullaitivu Road under the Northern Road Connectivity Project with ADB assistance. A National Mine Action Centre to coordinate removal of an estimated 1.5 million mines buried in 3,000 square kilometres of the Northern Province would be created. Rambukwella said the presence of mines was a major stumbling block in re-settlement of the war displaced and the Government has so far been able to remove only 20 per cent of the mines. Explaining the decision to hold a Cabinet meeting in Kilinochchi, Rambukwella said it was a signal of the unity of the island nation and the comprehensive military defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Kilinochchi, the de facto capital of the LTTE till May 2009, was chosen as the first town for the Cabinet meetings to be held outside the national capital periodically.

Under the scheme, all the security-related expenses are reimbursed by the Centre. The scheme earlier covered the State's 15 Districts, and the newly-included Districts are Lakhisarai, Banka, Sheohar, Vaishali and Begusarai. Neelmani said a counter-insurgency training centre has become functional at Bodh Gaya while two others at Dehri and Dumraon are likely to start functioning from next month. Hundred personnel of Bihar Military Police and another 100 of District armed Police would be trained at each of these centres in each batch.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced that it has revoked the charitable registration of Ottawa-area charity, Tamil (Sri Lanka) Refugee-Aid Society (TRAS) effective from July 17, reports Colombo Page. The agency has issued a notice in June of its intention to revoke the charitable registration of the Society saying that on the basis of an audit conducted, it has concluded that the Society has ceased to comply with the requirements of the Income Tax Act for its continued registration. The CRA stated that in that the charity failed to maintain adequate control and direction over the use of its funds; improperly issued tax receipts on behalf of third parties; and provided funding to non-qualified donees outside Canada. According to the findings, the Tamil charity has provided funds including $713,000 to an organization, which the CRA believes was operating as part of the support network for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a listed entity under the United Nations Suppression of Terrorism Regulations and the Criminal Code of Canada. The CRA said its audit also indicated that fundraising conducted under the Society's auspices involved an individual who has been convicted in the United States of conspiring to provide material support to the LTTE. In addition, the Society's liaison officer for Sri Lanka was named in documents filed with the Federal Court of Canada as a contact for area sales coordinators with the World Tamil Movement, also a listed entity under the Criminal Code of Canada because of its ties to the LTTE.

Observer report on July 18 that Sri Lankan authorities have initiated fresh moves with the assistance of Sunday International Police (]nterpol) and other intelligence agencies abroad to break the `backbone’ of the LTTE international terror network which is believed to be still active in certain countries. Interpol has already issued red notices on two hardcore LTTE terrorists. The Interpol action is based on the secret documents which were recovered from the LTTE’s international link spot known as ‘Castro’ office in the Wanni by Sri Lankan authorities recently. The two prime LTTE hardcore terrorists who were issued with red notices by Interpol are Ponniah Anandarajah alias Rajah alias Ayyah of the USA. Rajah is 60 years and hails from Chankanai, Jaffna. He had been the head of the LTTE financial procurement and shipping network since 2003. He holds a US passport and has travelled extensively to negotiate the purchase of arms and ammunition for the LTTE outfit. Sri Lanka had sought the assistance of Interpol to arrest him with regard to his international links and Interpol issued a red notice on him. Another hardcore LTTE terrorist who had been issued the Interpol red notice identified as Achudan Sivarasa-Pirundaban Achudan. He had been trained as a pilot at a flying school in France. He had travelled frequently to several European and African countries and was responsible in purchasing aircraft for the LTTE. He engaged in several business activities with the investments of the LTTE in foreign countries. He was also responsible in developing contacts with political figures and business magnates abroad in support of the LTTE. Apart from the two prime LTTE terrorists , the names of Narendran from Europe, Bhavindran and Rooban operating in South East Asian countries have also surfaced recently with regard to the LTTE’s procurement of ships and arms These suspects are also believed to be engaged in business activities involving the LTTE. The Sri Lankan authorities have also sought more information from intelligence agencies abroad on the three LTTE factions currently active in the USA, Norway and the United Kingdom. The Rudrakumaran faction is based in the United States while the Nediyavan faction is in Norway and the Global Tamil Forum of Fr.Emanuel in the UK. However, Germany has arrested five LTTE suspects and the Netherlands has rounded up eight LTTE so far in 2010.

Terming the developmental policies as "blinkered", the Supreme Court (SC) said on July 19 that the promised rights and benefits never reached marginalised citizens fuelling extreme discontent and giving birth to Naxalism and militancy, which are threatening the sovereignty of the country, reports Times of India. Referring to largescale displacement of tribals from forest land in the name of mining and development, the SC said non-settlement of their rights and non-provision for timely compensation of their lost land has created the worst kind of hatred among them towards development, possibly giving birth to extremism. "To millions of Indians, development is a dreadful and hateful word that is aimed at denying them even the source of their sustenance," a Bench comprising Justices Aftab Alam and B S Chauhan said.

The Bombay High Court on June 19 reapplied the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) to the September 29, 2008 Malegaon blast case, reports The Hindu. The case, as a result, has been transferred back to the Special MCOCA court. The High Court also held that the bail applications of the accused would be heard afresh by the MCOCA court. The court's order was with reference to an appeal filed by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), challenging the revocation of the MCOCA. A Division Bench of Justices B.H. Marlapalle and Anoop V. Mohta noted that “all the orders [of the Special Court] are required to be quashed and set aside and all the bail applications would stand restored to the file of the Special court for being decided afresh on their own merits.” Sadhvi Pragnya Singh Thakur, Lt. Col. Prasad Shrikant Purohit and Ajay Rahirkar are the accused, who had applied for bail. The arguments pertaining to the application of the MOCCA in the Malegaon case hinged on the issue of cognisance on the two charge sheets filed against accused Rakesh Dhawade prior to the Malegaon blast – one in Parbhani and the other in Jalna. Two previous charge sheets against one of the accused persons of an organised crime syndicate is a requirement for applying the MCOCA. The High Court restored it on the ground that cognisance was taken on Dhawade's charge sheets. It observed that the Special Court's basis for revocation of the Act on the issue of taking cognisance was “against well settled legal position.”

The Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu) said that 49 militants, including 15 commanders of LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) were killed in Jammu zone during six and a half month of 2010 by the SFs as compared to elimination of 35 militants during corresponding period in 2009. Killing of 15 LeT and HM commanders this year so far was a big blow to the two outfits, he added. "Though number of the infiltration attempts has gone up on both LoC and IB [International Border] in first half of this year from previous year, there had been very little successful intrusion bids due to alertness displayed by Army and BSF [Border Security Force] on the borders’’, the IGP further said, adding, that majority of infiltration attempts by the militants have been foiled.

Let Pakistan say that on such and such day, Hafiz Saeed was in Islamabad, not in India,” Pillai said. He, however, did not disclose the dates supposedly given to Pakistan in one of the dossiers. Pillai asserted that Saeed was not a peripheral player in 26/11, as he knew everything. He buttressed his claim with information provided by David Headley, who had collected information for the attacks during his five-day interrogation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths in a US prison.

Some elements in the Pakistan Government know the whereabouts of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, warning Islamabad against keeping a "poisonous" snake in its backyard, reported Times of India. Hillary also said the Pakistanis leadership during her visit to Islamabad has been told to take on every non-Governmental Armed Force inside the country. She said Pakistan's intelligence establishment must share with the US any information about movement of bin Laden and al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri. "I want those guys. I will not be satisfied until we get them," she said in interviews to American TV channels during her just concluded visit to Islamabad. "...I assume somebody, somebody in this Government, from top to bottom, does know where bin Laden is. And I'd like to know too so I think we've got to keep pressure on, which we are doing," Hillary said. Earlier on July 19, she had said that she believed Osama bin Laden and Taliban spiritual head Mullah Omar were in Pakistan. She said the US is getting closer to the fugitive. "I don't want to put a proximity or timeline on it (getting bin Laden). As I've said, we have gotten closer because we have been able to kill a number of their trainers, their operational people, their financiers," Hillary told Fox News channel. "I think elements in the Government do (know the whereabouts of bin Laden). I've said that before. But I think it is also important to know we have been getting with Pakistani cooperation a lot of the top leadership of al-Qaeda," she said. Hillary said she had told the Pakistani leadership "look, you've got to take on every non-governmental armed force inside your country, because even though you think they won't bother you today, there is no guarantee. Its like keeping a poisonous snake in your backyard."

The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on July 19 that she believed that Osama bin Laden was still in Pakistan, reports The News. “I believe (bin Laden) is here in Pakistan and it would be very helpful if we could take them (al-Qaeda leaders),” Clinton said. The US secretary of state sought tougher action from Islamabad to combat militants ahead of a key conference in Afghanistan. “There are still additional steps that we are asking and expecting the Pakistanis to take,” she told the BBC. “... there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that should an attack against the United States be traced to be Pakistani it would have a very devastating impact on our relationship,” she added. Clinton confirmed that Washington planned to formally designate the Haqqani network while cautiously welcoming other Afghan plans to talk with and reintegrate fighters who renounce violence. “We know that the Haqqani network is behind many attacks in Afghanistan. It’s clearly a terrorist group,” Clinton told reporters, adding,“The fact that there may be discussions with this group (or others) is something we’re willing to support as long as there are specific guidelines.”

The Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on July 16 jointly arrested three hardcore militant leaders along with foreign currencies, INR. 0.1 million in cash, two laptops, three pen drives and a Bangladeshi passport. They were picked up shortly after three bombs were planted in Guwahati, Assam allegedly by the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB). Further, reports indicate that the militants of Manipur are extending a helping hand to the fledging outfits of the region since it pays to keep the Northeast States burning. They feel that if some outfits of the outfits join the negotiating table after eschewing the path of violence it will be a setback for the major militant groups that want to liberate the entire region.

India on July 20 firmly said there cannot be any selective approach in fighting terrorism and sought an end to sustenance and sanctuaries for terrorists from outside Afghanistan, a veiled reference to terror camps in Pakistan, according to Times of India. The international community should ensure that there is no selectivity in dealing with terrorism, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said in a statement at the international conference on Afghanistan. "Terrorism cannot be compartmentalised. Today, one cannot distinguish between al-Qaeda and plethora of terrorist organisations which have imbibed the goals and techniques of al-Qaeda. "It is therefore, essential to ensure that support, sustenance and sanctuaries for terrorist organisations from outside Afghanistan are ended forthwith," he told the delegates, including his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi who was among the 30-odd Foreign Ministers present at the meet. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was also present at the meet attended by 70 countries. He also supported the Afghan peace process which, he said, should be "inclusive and transparent." He said that any new process to stabilise the war-torn Afghanistan must be fully "Afghan-led and Afghan-owned" where violence is given up and all links with terrorism--whether jihadi or state-sponsored--cut off.

PTI reports that the British Foreign Ministry contradicted one of its Cabinet Ministers, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, by clarifying that Britain does not wish to play any role in resolving the dispute between India and Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir. An unnamed spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry said, "The long-standing position of the UK is that it's for India and Pakistan to find a lasting resolution to the situation in Kashmir... It's not for the UK to prescribe a solution or to mediate in finding one." Over the weekend, minister without portfolio, Warsi, who is of Pakistani origin, told an audience during a visit to Mirpur in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), "Britain will play its due role to ensure the early resolution of the Kashmir issue." She, then, proceeded to assure her listeners that United Kingdom will take necessary effective steps in connection with the resolution of the Kashmir conflict. The British high commission in Pakistan did not deny this. It said it has no transcript of her statements. The British high commissioner was apparently present when she spoke at the function.

The interrogation of Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, who helped the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in plotting the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, points to official patronage of terror groups, National Security Adviser (NSA) Shivshankar Menon said on July 20, reports Times of India. Without naming Pakistan, Menon said the nexus had left no room for India to be optimistic as the link was growing "stronger". "It has been brought to us through Headley that there are clear links between militants and official establishments. It is that nexus with existing intelligence agencies that makes it much a harder phenomenon for us to deal with and suggest it won't be broken soon," Menon said, addressing a conference on terrorism in New Delhi. He said the information that Indian investigating agencies have and deal with suggest that the link "is getting stronger", adding, the interrogation of Headley proved "our worst fears have come true and the situation is as bad as we thought". Stating that "there is less possibility of being optimistic", the NSA said the traditional definition of terror groups in South Asia has become obsolete in the wake of these outfits merging to conduct operations. "The other aspect that is coming from it is how over times in the last few years these terror groups in South Asia have got fused, they are training together, using the same communication," Menon said. "The traditional distinction of these terror groups has become meaningless," he said, referring to Pakistan's "good" Taliban and "bad" Taliban theory.

A Delhi court on July 21 issued non-bailable warrants (NBW) against five Pakistanis in a case filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), charging them with facilitating terrorist attacks in India, but rejected its application for NBWs against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the first and second accused, reports The Hindu. While agreeing with the prosecution’s charges against the seven, Special Judge (NIA) S. P. Garg said no purpose would be served by issuing NBWs against Saeed and Lakhvi. For, a Mumbai trial court had issued NBWs against them and subsequently Interpol also issued Red Corner Notices. The NIA counsel had on July 20 said that Saeed and Lakhvi could be issued the “Special Notice” as the Security Council had imposed sanctions on them for their ties to the al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The five persons against whom NBWs have been issued are Karachi residents Sajid Mir alias Wasi and Abdur Rehman Hashim, Pakistani army officers Major Iqbal and Major Sameer Ali, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) resident Illyas Kashmiri. All the accused have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the South Asian Association For Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Convention (Suppression of Terrorism) Act for “facilitating terrorist acts and acts preparatory to terror attacks between 2005 and October 2009 in India including Delhi”.

Myanmarese nationals have made Shillong as their "rendezvous point" for arms transaction with Northeast rebels, a top intelligence official said on July 21, reports Assam Tribune. A central intelligence agency has recently alerted the Meghalaya Police of former 'captain' of Chin National Army (CNA), Tialkulhtang, of smuggling arms and ammunition from Mandalay in Myanmar. Chin are an ethnic group of Myanmmar. "Tialkulhtang, a known arms smuggler, is in the process of smuggling consignment of arms and ammunition meant for some rebel groups operating in the region," the intelligence official told IANS on condition of anonymity. Tialkulhtang is believed to be operating from somewhere in Shillong. The arms are likely to enter India through Mizoram via Siakhumphaivaphai area of Champai District, he added. The report adds that India-Myanmar is used by the illegal weapons syndicate to smuggle small and medium arms and ammunition, besides explosives, to Northeastern militant groups. "These Burmese Mizo (read Myanmarese ethnic Chin) have made Shillong as their safe haven taking advantage of tribal Indian Mizo identity who have settled here," a senior Meghalaya Police requesting anonymity, said. The Police official, however, claimed that a number of Myanmarese Chin arms smugglers have been arrested from Shillong.

Ten militants were killed and four others injured in the already reported gun battle between the Kuki Liberation Army (KLA) and Prithvi faction of the Kuki National Front (KNF) at Seijang Hill area on the border between Imphal East and Senapati Districts on July 21, according to Times of India. Imphal Free Press earlier reports that Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) in alliance with the KLA was involved in the gun battle. The gun battle could be the result of a fight for territorial control of areas inhabited by the Kuki tribes, Police said. Official sources said both Prithvi faction of the KNF and KLA were signatories of the suspension of operation (SoO) agreement with the State Government and the Army for initiating the peace process. Under the agreement, Security Forces have suspended operations against the militant outfits and the militants were not allowed to carry arms. Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh had warned another signatory of the SoO agreement, the Kuki National Army (KNA), for allegedly violating ground rules and threatened to take action against them. While the KNA wants a 'Kukiland' to be formed by integrating Kuki-settled areas of Manipur and Myanmar, Prithvi faction of the KNF and KLA demand a 'Kukiland' by carving out Kuki-inhabited areas of Manipur.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, in an interview to Economic Times on July 21, called Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres “crafty capitalists” and candidly admitted that the State was “helpless” in preventing businesses from succumbing to their extortion. “The CPI Maoists are among the most crafty capitalists in this country. They do business in violation of the laws, they collect rents, they don’t pay taxes, which makes them very crafty capitalists,” said Chidambaram. The Home Minister said while he did not condone payments to Naxals, he understood the compulsions faced by businesses. “Unless the State is able to provide them better security they will have to pay these rents to protect their investments. I am not turning a blind eye, I understand their compulsions and I don’t approve of it, but the State is helpless,” he said during the course of the hour-long interview at his official residence.

Refusing to take any more allegations from Washington, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on July 21 clearly saying that Osama Bin Laden or al-Qaeda were no friends of Pakistan or peace, reports The News. He strongly dismissed US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s assertion that Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. “If we were aware of where the top al-Qaeda leadership is in Pakistan, by now we would have reached them because we do not consider them friends of Pakistan or friends of peace,” he said adding that they had been disturbing peace in Pakistan, the region and the globe. “This is not the first time that this has been said and our position has been consistent. These are speculations,” Qureshi said. It appears that Pakistan makes the obligatory remarks against the US drone attacks to pacify its domestic audience and the US levels allegations against Pakistan to pacify theirs.

Inspector General of Border Security Force (BSF) R.C. Saxena said that there are some "elements of CNA hiding here in Shillong" and the security agencies are on their look out. "We are trying to find out if any of the members are hiding here in the region," Saxena said. An intelligence official said: "Many of these militants from Myanmar maintain a good relation with northeast groups and they are getting protection for procurement of arms and ammunition." The official further added that although it is unclear where the arms and ammunition would land it is certain that talks are on for a possible transaction in this regard. Most of the weapons, including AK-47 and AK-56 assault rifles, mortars, 40-mm rocket launchers, pistols, revolvers and grenades come via the Arakans - a mountainous area in Myanmar - from parts of Thailand and Cambodia, he added. The arms consignments are often routed by sea through the Bay of Bengal to its destination in the Arakan forest in Myanmar, which is across Mizoram, before making their way to rebel groups active in the northeast. The area is controlled by Arakan insurgent groups opposed to the Military Government in Yangon. Intelligence officials in the region have confirmed the presence of sophisticated range of weapons with militant groups in the northeast, including surface-to-air missiles.

He informed the House that he had instructed the Inspector-General of Police (intelligence) M. Khaute, a member of the joint monitoring group, to identify the insurgents involved and take action against them. “The groups should follow the ground rules strictly. If they continue to violate the rules, the government will not hesitate to withdraw the suspension of operations agreement,” he warned.

The Supreme Court (SC) recorded Pakistan’s hand in the killing of Mirwaiz Moulvi Farooq by militants from Jamaat-e-Islami and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in 1990 in Srinagar, Times of India reports. While upholding the conviction and life sentence to Mohammad Ayub Dar for the murder, the SC said Dar's confession was clear about the training in use of firearms he and his accomplices received in Pakistan during his visit there in 1989. "Dar has given details of the whole outfit including the names of the leader and other companions and the confession also refers to the firearms brought by the group of terrorists from Pakistan and the training which was for bringing into effect the terrorist activity in the Kashmir valley," the SC said. "It has also come in the confession that Dar had visited Pakistan, Lahore and Muzaffarabad to meet other members of the group namely Hyder, Hanif Hyder, Nasir Khan and Yusuf Bangroo on fake passport. The said confession also gives details that the said passport was issued in Sikar, Rajasthan, with visa of Pakistan," the Bench noted. It said: "We are thoroughly convinced that this confession is not only a good, voluntary and truthful confession but a reliable one also and the trial court has committed no mistake whatsoever in relying upon the said confession."

The West Midlands Police in United Kingdom (UK) arrested four Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) militants, including the top leader Paramjit Singh Pamma, for their involvement in the killing of Rulda Singh, the Punjab-based chief of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh's (RSS) Sikh arm Rashtriya Sikh Sangat, according to Times of India. Pamma had fled to Europe from Punjab. The three other arrestees were identified as Gursharan Bir Singh, Piara Singh Gill and Amritbir Singh. Sources in Punjab Police said they were arrested in England on the basis of inputs provided by India where intelligence agencies tracked certain leads suggesting the BKI's move to broaden its base in Punjab using its sympathisers in the State. As the killing of Rulda Singh involved Sikh extremism, the case is being investigated by the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) of the West Midland Police in UK. Rulda Singh was shot near his residence in Patiala in July 2009 and Punjab Police had managed to arrest two accused Darshan Singh and Jagmohan Singh in September 2009. The interrogation of both the accused revealed the UK connection in the murder and that the assassination was planned by BKI's Pamma based in UK. The accused disclosed that acting at the behest of Jagtar Singh Tara and others of the BKI, Pamma planned the murder of Rulda. Tara had been arrested for his involvement in the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minster Beant Singh but he managed to escape after digging a 94-long tunnel inside Burail prison in Chandigarh in 2003.

According to sources, it was the first footage, which had been released by Fazalullah himself.

Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned on July 22 of fresh attempts by militant groups to push India and Pakistan into a military conflict, reports Daily Times. Mullen said he feared extremists would attempt another operation similar to the 2008 Mumbai attacks in order to goad India into armed retaliation against Pakistan. Mullen said the Mumbai attacks had demonstrated how a small group of extremists could have a “strategic impact”. “One of the things that struck me then and is still of great concern is that those terrorists could bring two countries closer (to a possible conflict),” he told reporters on board his plane bound for New Delhi. “I’ve worried a great deal about a repeat attack, of something like that,” Mullen said, adding that he wanted “to focus on making sure this doesn’t happen again”. Mullen began a two-day visit to India that coincided with a visit by the US special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke.

Pakistan was actively collaborating with the Taliban in Afghanistan while accepting US aid, leaked US military reports showed on July 22, a disclosure likely to increase pressure on Washington’s embattled ally, reports Daily Times. Under the heading “Afghan War Diary”, the revelations released by online organisation WikiLeaks emerged as Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned of greater NATO casualties in Afghanistan. The documents were provided first to The New York Times, Britain’s The Guardian newspaper and German weekly Der Spiegel. Contained in more than 90,000 classified documents, the disclosures could fuel growing doubts in Congress about US President Barack Obama’s war strategy at a time when the US death toll is soaring. The leaked reports, covering a period from January 2004 to December 2009, suggest that current and former officials from the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have met directly with the Taliban in secret strategy sessions to organise terrorist networks fighting US soldiers. The Guardian said more than 180 intelligence files accuse the ISI of supplying, arming and training the insurgency since at least 2004. One of the reports even implicates the ISI in a plot to assassinate Afghan President Hamid Karzai, attacks on NATO warplanes, a plot to poison the beer supply of Western troops and the 2008 Indian embassy bombing, said the newspaper. WikiLeaks said the leaked documents “do not generally cover top-secret operations”. The site also reported that it had “delayed the release of some 15,000 reports” as part of what it called “a harm minimisation process demanded by our source”, but said it may release the other documents after further review.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is as deadly a terror group as Taliban and al-Qaeda and they were working in close coordination, said Richard Holbrooke, United States special envoy for Afghanistan-Pakistan, Times of India reports. Talking to journalists in New Delhi on July 22 Holbrooke said the US has been pushing Pakistan to take action on all these groups. "We understand, as Government, that it (LeT) is a threat and we talk about it all the time with Pakistani military (asking them) to deny their territory to this organisation," said Holbrooke. He said LeT was a part of terror conglomerate comprising Afghan Taliban, Pakistani Taliban and the Haqqani network. "Taliban has almost become a brand," he said. "Under intense pressure these groups seem to be growing closer to each other. Two or three years ago, they were more distinct than now," Holbrooke said. Holbrooke admitted that Pakistan's Taliban connection was a problem. "The links between the ISI [Inter Services Intelligence] and the Taliban are a problem. US has spoken to the Pakistan Government and the military on ISI's links with the Taliban," he said. Holbrooke also said that the “few steps” taken by Islamabad in this direction were “not enough,” adds The Hindu. Referring to ISI’s links with militant organisations, he asserted that tackling the LeT was “equal to any other priority in the region,” as its goal was to create “maximum problems” between India and Pakistan. “Their [LeT, al Qaeda and Taliban] long-term objective is to destroy the Western civilisation and to create crisis between New Delhi and Islamabad. Under intense pressure, these groups seem to be growing closer to each other. Two or three years ago, they were more distinct than now.”

Concerned over misuse of US military aid to Pakistan against it, India on July 23 asked Washington to set up a “monitoring mechanism” to ensure that it was used for the intended purpose, reports The Hindu. With the U.S. giving Pakistan weapons for the war against terror, Defence Minister A.K. Antony told the visiting Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen that the military aid was disproportionate to the intended task, sources in the Ministry said in New Delhi. Antony told Admiral Mullen that the U.S. should ensure that aid was used only for the purpose it was meant. In a 45-minute meeting at South Block, the visiting U.S. official is said to have apprised the Defence Minister of the American assessment of the security situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Characterising U.S.-Pakistan military cooperation as being reflective of the growing relations and friendship between the two countries, Admiral Mullen said Washington was broadening its military relations with Islamabad after the ties were cut off for almost a dozen years.

Pakistan-based Sikh militants, supported by the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), might carry out bomb blasts in New Delhi before the Commonwealth Games, the Punjab Police has alerted, reports Times of India. An advisory circulated recently among all senior officers in the State by the intelligence department of Punjab Police has pointed out that Sikh militant leaders based in Pakistan are under "tremendous pressure" from the ISI to carry out sabotage activities in India before the Games. "Militant leaders, including Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) chief Ranjit Singh Neeta are planning to undertake some militant actions, including bomb blasts, before the Games scheduled in New Delhi in October," the advisory said. It also stated that around 15 kilograms RDX was smuggled into India from Pakistan by Neeta's contacts, which was divided into three parts, most of which has been seized by Police from different places in the State including Ferozepur and Rajpura. Intelligence sources of the State Police have inputs that Neeta could himself enter India if those directed to carry out the nefarious designs failed in their task. "Certain militants sitting abroad are desperate to push four Sikh extremists into India to carry out nefarious activities," the advisory said. Meanwhile, police have been sensitised and directed to take necessary preventive and detective measures to avoid any untoward incident, official sources said.

The special cell of Delhi Police claimed of arresting a suspected agent of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), identified as Nafees Ahmed (60), recently, reports Times of India. Nafees had reportedly helped a ISI agent set up base in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) and also helped the latter procure an Indian passport on the basis of forged documents. A team of special cell, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police L.N. Rao, arrested Nafees a resident of Lucknow and recovered incriminating documents that were used to acquire the Indian passport for the Pakistani national who was arrested in November 2009. Nafees had been on the run for the last eight months. A reward of INR 25,000 had also been declared for any information on him. On July 19, 2010, Inspector A.K. Singh received a tip-off that Nafees would come to Patiala House Court to meet a lawyer to consult him in one of his cases. A trap was laid and Nafees was arrested. "During interrogation, Nafees said that he was a school dropout, and initially started a building material business. During this period he came in contact with one Aman Waris and a few other travel agents operating from Lucknow and Gorakhpur in UP. With help from the travel agents Nafees cheated several persons by promising to arrange fake visas,'' said a Police officer Singh. According to Shibesh Singh, additional DCP (special cell), on November 12, 2009 ISI agent Abdul Jabbar, a resident of Mustafabad near Lahore in Pakistan, was arrested during emigration clearance of Air India Flight No IC 813. "Jabbar was carrying an Indian passport with the number F-3776115 issued in the name of one Saiyyad Aamir Ali of Lucknow. Jabbar was nabbed at the IGI Airport, Delhi, while he was trying to board a plane to Dammam (UAE),'' said Additional DCP Shibesh Singh.

Pillai has been formed to push for speedy implementation of the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act.

According to a research carried out by the BBC Urdu service, nearly 2,500 people have been killed as a result of US drones and militant attacks since January 2009, reports Daily Times. The research shows how Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) strongholds in the border area close to Afghanistan have been targeted by US drone aircraft, while, at the same time, TTP have carried out attacks across Pakistan. Missile attacks by US drones in the Tribal Areas have more than tripled under the Obama administration, research by the BBC Urdu service shows. Compared with 25 drone strikes between January 2008 and January 2009, there were at least 87 such attacks between President Barack Obama taking office on January 20, 2009 and the end of June 2010. More than 700 people have been killed in such attacks under Obama, compared with slightly fewer than 200 from under his predecessor, George W Bush. The TTP backlash over the same period has been even more violent. Terrorists have struck more than 140 times in various locations, killing more than 1,700 people and injuring hundreds more, the BBC research shows. Over the same 18-month period, many more than 2,500 people have died in offensives by the Pakistani Army and fighting between troops and the TTP.
