SFs busted a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) funding module in Baramulla District and arrested its two members while hunt for others is going on, reports Daily Excelsior. The SFs launched a search operation at Chandekut crossing on National Highway in Baramulla District. “During the operation Mushtaq Ahmed Dar resident of Rinji, Baramulla was apprehended after a brief pursuit. Rs. 45,000 of fake Indian currency was recovered from him. The questioning of Dar led to apprehension of Aijaz Ahmed Dar resident of Rinji who was the next link in the chain. Mushtaq Ahmed Dar further revealed the involvement of Mohammad Yusuf Chopan, who had been allegedly receiving the fake currency from Bangladesh for subsequent conversion to genuine currency and funding of LeT in North Kashmir. Mushtaq Ahmed Dar was in the process of developing a module for LeT at Pattan. Further investigations are likely to reveal more names”, Police said.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) suspects Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants have access to a technology for transfer of texts and packages that is near impossible to tap, The Times of India reports on December 7. The advanced Integrated Communication Hand-Held Radio Sets (ICOM HHRS) that these operatives are suspected to be equipped with is configured with an android operating system. A two-page alert in the matter was issued on December 3 by IB, to all state Police and sister intelligence agencies. The device, IB suspects, allows LeT operatives to send text data packets on a particular frequency band. The alert note says an improvised version of 'goTenna' (which enables one to share text and locations regardless of cell coverage or WiFi) is being used as a cognitive digital radio. (an antenna). This, combined with an app through an android device via Bluetooth, generates its own signal and automatically coordinates with other units within range. The LeT operatives can be connected with this device even while off-grid and far apart. In simple terms, the LeT operatives can connect and convey messages without having SIM cards in the smart phone. A senior intelligence official stated, "The improvised version of 'goTenna' (ICOM HHRS) also known as 'Y-SMS' has been detected in Kashmir valley, which is being used by LeT operatives." In a recent raid to hunt down terrorists in Kashmir, a few damaged android phones were recovered. An analysis of the phones revealed that they were being operated without SIM cards; text messages were sent using the ICOM HHRS system The printed circuit boards of the phones were modified so that a simple touchscreen smart phone became a walkie-talkie of sorts - just pressing the screen helped send an encrypted text or voice message, the alert note said.

Six Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured when militants opened firing on their convoy near Green Tunnel at Samthan in Bijbehara in South Kashmir’s Anantnag District on December 7, reports Daily Excelsior. The militants left first few vehicles and targeted two vehicles in the convoy. The militants fled after the attack taking the cover of dense trees. CRPF spokesman, Ashish Kumar Jha, said that three militants in Army fatigues appeared from nearby fields at Sangam in Anantnag near Bijbehara this morning at around 10 am and fired at CRPF convoy. “It was some sort of a Fidayeen (suicide) attack on the convoy. The militants had planned a proper and big attack on our security forces. But due to alertness of the CRPF Road Opening Patrol deployed on the highway the attack was thwarted. Otherwise, it would have been a major attack,” Jha said. The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack. In a telephonic-statement HM spokesman Burhan-u-Din said: “Our militants attacked a CRPF convoy near Bijbehara”. Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) spokesman, Dr Abdullah Ghaznavi, also claimed responsibility for the attack on the CRPF convoy.

The United States (US) Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is on a two- day visit to India, said on December 8 that Pakistan should not distinguish between terror groups like Pakistani Taliban (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan-TTP) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and that it would be satisfied only when perpetrators of the Mumbai 2008 terror (also known as 26/11) attacks are brought to book and justice ensured to the victims, reports The Times of India. On the 26/11 attacks, he said India and US were "bound together" in seeking justice to the victims. "I don't think anyone would be satisfied until justice is done, no we can't be satisfied," he said. Blinken stressed that the US has told Pakistan, "publicly, privately and repeatedly", that the country should take action against both "inwardly directed and outwardly directed" terror groups who threaten India, US or Afghanistan. "We are looking to his (Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif) own standard that there should be no distinction. A terrorist is a terrorist whether it is Pak Taliban, LeT or Haqqani Network. It's a very important statement and should be the basis of collective action," he said.

Army and Police on December 9, busted a major hideout of the militants and recovered large quantity of arms, ammunition and explosives in Gandoh area of Doda District, thwarting the militant plot to carry out terror strikes, reports Daily Excelsior. Official sources said a joint team of Delta Force troops based at Sohanda, Gandoh Police and 42 battalion of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) conducted a joint search operation in Kindre forest area of Gandoh following information developed about dump of large quantity of arms, ammunition and explosives. Recoveries made from the spot included one AK-56 rifle, one .303 rifle, two Chinese pistols, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), two hand grenades, 11 AK-56 magazines, four Chinese pistol magazines, three UBGL grenades, 11 pistol rounds and huge quantity of 7.62mm assorted rounds along with other sustenance stores. Sources said the cache of arms and ammunition had been stocked by the militants inside the hideout to use it at an opportune time. The cache had the potential to cause large scale casualties and damage to life and property. “However, the alert teams of Army, Police and SSB have thwarted designs of the militants by timely effecting recoveries of arms, ammunition and explosives and destroying hideout of the militants, which reportedly belonged to erstwhile Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militancy, who were not active now,” they added.

Army on December 9, recovered a T-Shirt with `Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) Pakistan’ written in Urdu on it from Sabjian sector of Poonch District along the Line of Control (LoC), where the troops had gunned down three Pakistani militants on the evening of December 3, thus, thwarting their infiltration attempt, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said the T-Shirt in possession of the slain militants with ‘Jamat-ud-Dawa writing’ has clearly established the role of Pakistan in aiding and abetting militancy and infiltration attempts. LeT militant outfit is an armed wing of JuD, they said, adding the recovery of the T-shirt was an indication that the militants trying to infiltrate into the Indian Territory were backed by Pakistan army and other top militants of the LeT outfit. Apart from JuD T-shirts, a number of other Pakistan made items have also been recovered from the LoC in Sabjian sector during the searches, sources said, adding this has established that the slain infiltrators had originated from Pakistan.

The Indian security establishment as well as prosecutors in 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai attack case believe conspirator David Coleman Headley's evidence, to be recorded in the trial court in India in February 2016, will help corroborate the disclosures made by co-accused Abu Jundal regarding the role of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) masterminds as well as Pakistani state actors, The Times of India reports on December 12. "Jundal, who is on trial in the 26/11 case here, was very much present in the LeT control room along with other LeT masterminds. Jundal's voice figures in the transcripts of the conversation between 26/11 attackers and those in the control room. Headley's examination will help to verify the information given by Jundal (who was deported from Saudi Arabia in 2012) regarding the involvement of LeT masterminds and Pakistani state actors," Special Public Prosecutor in the 26/11 trial Ujjwal Nikam stated on December 11. According to a senior officer of the central security establishment, Headley's turning an approver was a pragmatic offer to accept, given that he is already sentenced to 35 years in prison by the US courts and his plea bargain agreement with the US federal authorities rules out his extradition to India. "So it was the best bet to accept him as a witness, as he was in touch with the top LeT brass including prime mastermind Hafiz Saeed and even retired/serving Pakistani Army/ISI officers identified by him as Major Samir Ali and Major Iqbal. His cross-examination will help nail their role, besides helping the prosecution secure the conviction of Abu Jundal," said a senior home ministry officer.

The officer said that there are around 12 Launch Pads of militants’ active in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) along 400 kilometer LoC that Kashmir valley shares with PoK. He said that around 40-50 militants are waiting on each of these launch pads for infiltrating into Kashmir. According to figures, around 91 militants were killed in Kashmir valley including LoC while infiltrating.

An NIA (National Investigation Agency) official told that David Coleman Headley would remain the accused no. 1 in the 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai terror attack case, The Hindu reports on December 28. India is likely to tell the U.S. that the American investigation against Headley and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was done because of the six Americans killed in the Mumbai attacks, but justice is yet to be done to the families of the large number of Indian victims. The development assumes significance as Headley’s offer is bound to help the Mumbai Police build a stronger case against Pakistan. Headley has been sentenced to 35 years in prison by a U.S. court and the clause of ‘double jeopardy’ debars punishment for the same crime twice. “Double jeopardy is a big impediment to the NIA getting the custody of Headley through extradition. But the U.S. authorities have to understand that they probed Headley’s role as six American nationals were killed in the attack. Indians also died, and what about justice to them,” asked a senior government official. Though India and the U.S. have a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), it can only be used to give evidence and not for prosecution. A senior Maharashtra official said there still existed a possibility of Headley being made an accused during the course of the trial, if his replies were not convincing.

Top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant Abu Qasim, who was involved in attack on Army Convoy in Srinagar two years ago, was among 100 terrorists killed in encounter with Security Forces (SFs) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in 2015, the Army said in Jammu on December 29, reports Daily Excelsior. “During the 2015 year in various successful operations, over 100 terrorists have been neutralised including some top terrorist commanders like Abu Qasim, LeT, who was responsible for Hyderpora attack on Army convoy in 2013,” Public Relation Officer (PRO) Defence Northern Command, Colonel S D Goswami said. “Counter terrorist grid continued to maintain dominance and deny any space to terrorists. Synergised hard-intelligence based joint ops with the J&K Police and CAPF (Central Armed Police Force) have been the hallmark of these operations,” he said. Apart from neutralising terrorists, this year over 350 weapons and 40 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and explosive hauls have been recovered, plus other “warlike and logistics stores”. “This clearly highlights the nefarious designs and intransigence of Pakistan to continue abetting terrorism in J&K,” he said. PRO said, “Though there has been an overall improvement in security situation in the State however, this cannot be construed as return of normalcy, as Pakistan continues to abet terrorism to keep the situation volatile”. “The nexus intent and the terrorist infrastructure remain intact,” he added. In a year that witnessed desperate attempts by the nexus of terrorists & separatists to reassert themselves, Army was eminently successful in restricting the terrorist initiated incidents, in spite of regular attempts to destabilise the prevailing peace by attempting terrorist initiated incidences on soft targets & orchestrating agitations, Colonel Goswami said. “The internal security situation in J&K is stable. The counter terrorism operations are effective and the potential of terrorists has significantly reduced. There is high level of synergy amongst all security forces and Government agencies”, he said.
