The Hindu quoting a report of The Sunday Times mentions that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the US has given the evidence to Pakistan, indicating the involvement of terrorists including the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) handlers based in its territory in the Mumbai multiple terror attacks. The London-based daily on January 4 reports that the evidence proves that the strikes were orchestrated by militants based in Pakistan. The report adds that Zarar Shah, a communications specialist of LeT, confessed during his interrogation in Pakistan that he advised the terrorists over phone as the attacks unfolded.

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has blamed the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) for the Mumbai terrorist attack and pointed out that there was enough evidence to show that the attack was executed with military precision and also had the support of some official agencies of Pakistan, reports The Hindu. Speaking at a conference of Chief Ministers on internal security in New Delhi on January 6, the Prime Minister said terrorism was largely sponsored from outside the country, mainly from Pakistan, which “utilised terrorism as an instrument of State policy.” “We must convince the world community that States that use terrorism as an instrument of foreign policy must be isolated and compelled to abandon such tactics. We must engage vigorously in debates to press the point that ‘soft’ support for terrorism cannot any longer be endorsed,” Dr. Singh stated. While admitting that India’s problems were compounded by the fact that “we have a highly unpredictable and uncertain security environment in our immediate neighbourhood,” he said the Governments in some of our neighbouring countries “are very fragile in nature.” He cautioned that the “more fragile a Government, the more it tends to act in an irresponsible fashion. Pakistan’s responses to our various demarches on terrorist attacks are an obvious example.” Emphasising the need for co-operation with the States and allaying their apprehensions, Dr. Singh assured the Chief Ministers that all anti-terror initiatives would be undertaken with the “closest possible interaction” with the State Governments and their apparatus. “We do recognise that it is not possible to effectively fight terror without the whole-hearted co-operation of the Police machinery at all levels,” the Prime Minister said, adding, an effective coastal command was also being created.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist, identified as Safique Iliyas alias Deepak, was arrested by the West Bengal’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) from Malda District on January 12, reports The Hindu. Safique was later produced before the Magistrate’s Court at Jangipur in Murshidabad District and the court remanded him to 14-days Police custody. Safique, a resident of Rajshahi in Bangladesh, was instructed to spy on the movement of Army personnel in Siliguri, CID officials said. “Safique crossed over to India on January 3 and was sheltered in the house of Haji Akhtar Hussein at Harishchandrapur in Malda District. We arrested both on a tip-off,” Siddh Nath Gupta, Deputy Inspector-General (Operations) of CID, said in Kolkata on January 13. Safique had planned to set up a shop near the Army establishment in Siliguri to execute his job, Gupta said, adding “Safique had confessed that he helped two Lashkar-e-Toiba men to cross over to India via the international border in the State last year. One of them, Sikandar-e-Azaam, was later arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in June.” The Delhi Police had reportedly arrested him in 1998 on the charge of transporting RDX from Bangladesh to Uttar Pradesh during 1997-98. He was lodged in the Tihar jail till 2003, before being granted bail and escaping to Bangladesh. Nine pre-activated SIM cards, fake Indian currency worth INR 50,000 and a forged voter identity card were recovered from him.

Two hardcore militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfits and two Police personnel were killed during an encounter at Lallu Khetar in the Kalakote area of Rajouri District on January 13, Daily Excelsior reported. Inspector General of Police (Jammu), K. Rajendra, said a team of Special Striking Reserve and Police launched a search operation at Lallu Khetar at 3.30 pm (IST) after receiving inputs about the presence of militants in the area. In the ensuing encounter that lasted for approximately 90 minutes two militants and two Policemen, Mushtaq Ahmed and Nissar Hussain, were killed. At least two militants managed to escape taking cover of the forest area. The slain militants have been identified as Ashfaq, a HM ‘commander’, and Abu Talha, a LeT ‘commander’. Both of them were operating in different parts of Rajouri district for past several months and were involved in many subversive activities.

Mohammad Ahsan Dar, a top militant and one of the founders of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), was arrested on January 14 by Police in the Bandipora district, Indian Express reported. Dar, a close associate of Hizb chief Syed Salahuddin, was co-ordinating activities of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), HM, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG, North Kashmir), Abdul Gani Mir, said in Baramulla. Acting on specific information that Dar had returned from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and was co-ordinating the activities of different militant outfits, the Jammu and Kashmir Police arrested him in the early hours while he was trying to sneak into Sumbal area from his home town Pattan, he said. Dar, self-styled chief commander of Muslim Mujahideen, offered no resistance while being arrested, Mir said. The DIG said Dar had parted ways with the HM following differences with the top leadership of the outfit and founded Muslim Mujahideen in 1992. However, he remained close to Salahuddin, who also heads the United Jihad Council (UJC) – an amalgam of militant outfits active in the State. Dar, who is in his 50s, was arrested in 1993 and released in 1999 after six years in detention, Mir said, adding he had also visited Pakistan and has remained in close contact with the ISI and other Pakistani agencies. He has reportedly been regularly receiving funds from them. According to preliminary investigations, Dar had infiltrated into the Kashmir valley and was active since last one year. Dar had organised various attacks on Security Forces and was trying to give a fresh impetus to militant activities within the State and in the rest of the country. He had infiltrated into India via the Bangladesh border. Some incriminating documents have been recovered from him and further investigations are on, the DIG said.

The special investigation team of the Kerala Police probing the alleged terror links in the State filed a chargesheet against 22 alleged terrorists before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Court in Thalassery on January 21, reports The Hindu. The accused have been charged under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. While four of the 22 accused were shot dead by the Security Forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the whereabouts of five others, identified as Naseer, Shafas, Ibrahim Moulavi, Sabir alias Ayub and Umar Farooque, is yet to be ascertained. The Court, however, granted bail to Jaleel who was the first to be arrested on October 19, 2008 in connection with the investigation. The accused was granted statutory bail on the ground that no chargesheet was filed against Jaleel who had been in custody for the past 92 days. According to the chargesheet, Sainuddin, who was arrested from Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, on January 20, 2009, had organised activities for recruiting youth with the intention of sending them to get arms training from the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in Jammu and Kashmir and in Pakistan to wage war against India. He had organised youth under the guise of the activities of ‘tariqat’ (a school of Sufism) meetings at Neerchal, Kanhangad, Malappuram, a Makham shrine at Mudikkal Kaniyapuram and the dargah (shrine) of Jamiya Nooriya in Hyderabad. The accused had been engaged in conspiracy since March 2006 to carry out subversive activities in the country, the chargesheet said. The chargesheet also added that the group had decided to send Fayaz, Fayiz, Abdurrahim, Yasin and Jabbar for training in Pakistan and they had joined the LeT and undergone training.

Germany on January 22 held the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) responsible for the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack but refrained from stating if other groups having al Qaeda links could also be involved, reports The Hindu. "Based on whatever investigations we have conducted till now, we feel it is Lashkar that is responsible for these attacks," president of Germany’s Federal Police, Joerg Ziercke, told journalists In New Delhi. Ziercke also said that the LeT was active in Germany also but it did not pose any "operative risk". Adding there were two or three persons with suspected links with the LeT, who had undergone training in tribal areas of Pakistan but no investigation could be conducted there. Ziercke also conformed that Germany’s elite commando unit GSG9 would cooperate with its Indian counterpart, the National Security Guard, (NSG) in training of personnel and counter-terrorism efforts. On the investigation of the attack, Ziercke told that Germany would be interested in the outcome of the investigations as three German nationals were killed in the Mumbai carnage, saying, "The Federal Prosecutor-General of Germany has already initiated legal proceedings."

Police in the Doda District shot dead two top militants of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit, including a ‘tehsil commander’, in Batyas forests under the jurisdiction of Gandoh Police station and recovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition from their possession, Daily Excelsior reported. Senior Superintendent of Police Prabhat Singh said a Police party was conducting searches in Batyas forests for the last three days after receiving specific information that top HM militants have developed hideouts there. The militants, who had taken shelter in a natural hideout, opened fire on the Police personnel, who retaliated. In the ensuing encounter, the two militants, identified as ‘tehsil commander’ Zahoor Ahmed Khandey alias Basir alias Salman and Sajjad Ahmed, were killed.
