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.

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.

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".

According to Daily Excelsior, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants in Doda District of Jammu and Kashmir have threatened to target mobile towers of all telecom operators prompting Police to act immediately to secure them especially in hilly and sensitive areas of the District as they are frustrated by frequent intercepts of their mobile telephone conversation by security agencies and Police. The latest threat of the LeT outfit comes close on the heels of reports that a top militant commander Abdul Qayoom was gunned down by Security Forces and police in an encounter at Marmat in June, 2010, after his mobile phone conversation with his wife Asma was intercepted and his location detected.

The Army team had gone to the spot following information that 15 Pakistan-based militants had sneaked in. The Army cordoned off the area and launched a search operation. Daily Excelsior added that two militants were believed to be killed in the encounter at Beri Rakh forests.

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. This fact was revealed in a letter written by Aftab Ansari, facing death penalty in 2002 Kolkata's American Centre attack case, to the widow of Asif," public prosecutor Rajeev Mohan said. 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. The prosecutor claimed the Police had in its possession emails records, disclosure statements of accused, besides intelligence inputs, to establish links between Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) with Students Islamic Movements of India (SIMI) and IM.

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.

The wife of the slain LeT ‘district commander’ Isaq Bhat alias Hamza alias Ateeq (killed on July 14), Shabnam (28), has turned out to be a top militant of the outfit involved in many subversive activities. Recently, Police had launched a drive to win back the women involved in militancy and working as Over Ground Workers (OGWs) in Doda District. The secret drive launched with the help of elderly citizens including former Panchayat (village level local self Government institution) members have resulted into at least 16 women returning to mainstream giving up the ‘‘society of militants'' for whom they were working as OGWs by transporting their weapons, providing them food and giving them information about the movement of SFs.

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.

Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai on July 19 said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed not only masterminded the 26/11 Mumbai attacks but also made a trip to India and the Government has given exact dates of his visit to Islamabad, reports Daily Times. “We have evidence from Ajmal Kasab and others who say that he came here. 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.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), seeking in a Delhi court Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) head of operations Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi and four other Pakistani citizens, said its case was based on a “larger conspiracy” against India, reports Times of India. The NIA counsel Dayan Krishnan said the agency's investigation was “separate” and it had evidence to show that the duo was part of a larger conspiracy against the country and that the 26/11 terror attack was just one part of it.

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”.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant, involved in shooting a youth in Panzla area of Baramulla District on July 16, allegedly committed suicide inside Police in the night of July 24, reports Daily Excelsior. Tariq Ahmad Dar alias Jaffar was found hanging from the ceiling of his cell in Panzla Police Station in the morning of July 25, the officials said. While attempting to kill Reyaz on July 16, Tariq instead shot at Abdul Majid Lone. The injured person was rushed to District Hospital Baramulla and was later shifted to Srinagar where his condition is reported to be out of danger. "By the time, the perpetrators realized that the victim was not Reyaz, Khalid created a scene blaming incident on the security forces. This was also done to give a cover to the Lashkar operative and his activities. He tried to muster support of the locals, which all ended in vain," the spokesman said.

Times of India reports that India fears that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) may attempt to strike during the October 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi and has voiced its concerns to the US, according to a media report. The fears were conveyed by the Indian Army leadership to Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was in New Delhi on July 24 and 25, The Sunday Times said in a dispatch from Islamabad. After his arrival in Pakistan, Mullen had on July 24 said that the LeT has expanded its operations to Afghanistan and the West and has become more active throughout the region. The paper said the LeT has joined forces with the Taliban in a new alliance to kill western soldiers in Afghanistan. In the past few weeks NATO commanders are convinced that LeT are behind a string of attacks and influx of fighters into eastern Afghanistan, the newspaper said. The issue was raised by Admiral Mullen after he arrived in Islamabad for meetings with Pakistan's Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani, the report said. Outlawed under US pressure in 2002, the outfit has continued to operate under different names. The LeT's camps have long been used by al Qaeda for training.

In the wake of India's assertion that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was involved in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the US administration has said that it was investigating the matter to find out whether Pakistan's ISI played a role in the 26/11 terror strikes, reports Indian Express. "We are very much engaged in this question," a senior Administration official told PTI, when asked about the statements made by Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai and National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon that ISI had played a role in planning and execution of the Mumbai terror attacks. The official, who requested anonymity, said that the matter was under investigation and he would not like to comment till the probe was over. The revelation about ISI role in 26/11 had not only come from the interrogation of Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative David Headley, but also through India's own investigation which had been shared with the US officials. Pakistan, for its part, has strongly denied that ISI had any role.

The Centre on July 28 said it was aware that anti-India elements, who are based in Pakistan, are provoking the people of Jammu and Kashmir with the support of certain sections of secessionist groups in the State, according to Times of India. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Maken informed the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) that these anti-India elements were inciting people on various pretexts to arouse public sentiments. "The statements of All Party Hurriyat Conference (Abbas) and All Party Hurriyat Conference (Geelani) in the media and LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] across the border in this regard are documented," he said. Maken said though the average annual quantum of arms and ammunition and funds coming to the State cannot be quantified, INR 76, 84,600 in cash and INR 50,000 in cheques were seized in 2009, which was being carried through hawala channels, and cases have been registered. He also informed that 668 AK-47 and 56 rifles, PIKA guns, sniper rifles etc, 1,142 magazines, 59,333 ammunitions including RPG ammunition etc., explosive material including RDX, INR 56,15,071, Pakistani currency, fake currency and remote control panels etc. were recovered from militants during 2009.

Underlining the need to remain engaged with Pakistan, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his British counterpart, David Cameron, on July 29 called on Islamabad to be indiscriminate in cracking down on terror groups operating from its soil, reports Times of India. "We believe that Pakistan should be as serious in paying attention to terror on its western borders as on the eastern borders. I sincerely hope the world community would use its good offices to promote this," Singh said at a joint press conference with Cameron here. "It is not acceptable, as I have said, for there to be within Pakistan existence of terror groups that cause terrorism within Pakistan, outside Pakistan, in Afghanistan, India and elsewhere in the world," added Cameron. At the same time, Pakistan should be encouraged to take steps to see that terror was reduced. "We want to work with Pakistan to make it fight the LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] and Afghan or Pakistan Taliban. The Pakistan Government has taken steps and it needs to take further steps to reduce terrorism in Afghanistan, India and the streets of London. I think the right thing is to have discussion with Pakistan frankly, clearly and openly. Next week, I will have discussions with the President of Pakistan,'' he said. Making the same point, Manmohan Singh hoped that Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi would accept the invitation to visit India later this year so that "sooner or later" the dialogue was restored to the "proper sense of purpose."

Pakistan Army on July 31 again resorted to cease-fire violation and tried to push infiltrators into Indian Territory from the Line of Control (LoC) in forward area of Balnoi in Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch District, according to Daily Excelsior. Pakistan troops started firing on Indian positions near Chajla Man Post in Balnoi area of Krishna Ghati sector at 6.30am. Under the cover of firing, the Pakistan side also tried to push a group of five to six militants into this side of the LoC, official sources said. Troops, who were maintaining a high alert on the LoC, opened firing to neutralize the militant group trying to intrude into this side. Firing continued till 7.30am, sources said, adding, the infiltration bid by the militants was foiled with effective retaliatory firing brought down by the troops. The militants, believed to be the cadre of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who had come very close to the LoC to force their entry into this side taking advantage of covering fire of the Pakistan Army, were pushed back due to timely action by the troops. Sources said movement of five to six militants was observed from this side near Pakistan Army’s posts of Chuha and Dakku opposite Balnoi area of Krishna Ghati sector. Following firing from across the LoC, the militants had moved very close to LoC, they said, adding the firing from this side was aimed at ensuring that the militants didn’t manage to come close to LoC.
