Ali Muhammad, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), South Kashmir said that increasing recruitment of educated youths in terrorist organizations represents one of the biggest challenges for the Jammu and Kashmir Government, reports Economic Times on March 3. He said “Educated youth joining militancy is really a matter of concern for us. There is a need to change the mindset of the youth.” The new Chief Minister (CM) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed may have stirred a controversy by appearing to thank Pakistan for allowing peaceful polls in the Valley, but data shows he will need to win over youths at home to make a success of his tenure. Ashiq Hussain Dar (24), a resident of Turkewangam village, was selected as a village level worker in May 20014 and worked for three months as a Government official before joining Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). Similarly, Shakeel Ahmed Wani (34) was a teacher in a Government school in Pakarpura, Badgam but he gave it up in July 2014, when he joined Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). While Wani was killed in an operation in Gaader forests in Keller area of Shopian in January, Dar was gunned down in a major army operation in Hef Sharmal village. Shiraz Ahmad Ghani (26), from Panjaram in Kulgam, who had similarly joined Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) while pursuing his PhD after completing his M Com, was killed in November 2014.

Pakistan should hand over November 2008 Mumbai (26/11) terror attacks machinator Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi to India or allow the International Criminal Court at The Hague to probe him, one of Washington's most influential politicians on foreign relations said on March 10, reports The Telegraph. According to the report, the comments by Ed Royce, chairman of the United States (US) House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, are the clearest yet by a senior American Congressman echoing India's demand for Pakistan to allow New Delhi a chance to try Lakhvi. Royce said "We know the voice on the documentary belongs to the same person (Lakhvi) who is hosting guests every day in Pakistan, and that is unacceptable." "Pakistan should hand him over to India, or if can't do that, at least for him to be tried at the International Criminal Court", he said. Royce was referring to voice recordings from intercepts of telephone conversations between the Mumbai terrorists and handlers in Karachi including Lakhvi, which India has shared with the US, other key world nations and Pakistan. The foreign affairs committee chairman is leading a 12-member bipartisan group of Congressmen to India, including Indian-American Ami Bera, a Democrat from California. The group met Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi this afternoon (March 10).

On March 16, asserting that terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) cannot remain active in Afghanistan without "systematic state support" from "beyond" its borders, India has asked the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to act against this security threat with a sense of urgency, reports NDTV. India told the UNSC that the main source of instability in Afghanistan is terrorism and not ethnic rivalries. Expressing concern over the security situation inside Afghanistan, India has cited UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's latest report which said the number of security incidents in Afghanistan was the second highest in 2014 after 2011 when al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was neutralised. The Secretary General's report "substantiates our view that it is terrorism, and not tribal differences or ethnic rivalries, which is the main source of insecurity and instability in Afghanistan," India's Ambassador to the UN Asoke Mukerji said at the Security Council debate on United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan (UNAMA) on March 16. He said that the terrorist groups, including the LeT, are active despite efforts of the valiant personnel of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and the international coalition forces. "It is obvious that their activity cannot be sustained without systematic state support from beyond Afghanistan's borders," Mr Mukerji said adding that reports indicate these groups are mutating into more virulent forms, in a region already impacted by terrorism. "The Council must act against this threat with a sense of urgency," Mr Mukerji said. He said it is a critical decade of transformation for Afghanistan and reiterated India's commitment to "stay the course" in the war-ravaged country. "India is proud to call itself Afghanistan's first strategic partner. We share the Afghan people's vision of a strong, independent, united and prosperous state...India stands ready to do all that is possible within our capacities and our means, to work with the Afghan Government and its people, to realise this great vision," he added. Mr Mukerji stressed that completion of the task of government formation in Kabul as rapidly as possible is a priority to ensure that all ministries start functioning normally. He also expressed hope that the important political tasks of electoral reforms and organisation of a Constitutional Loya Jirga would be completed soon. UNSC extended UNAMA’s mandate till March 17, 2016. Unanimously adopting the resolution, the Council underscored the importance of sustainable democratic development in that country with all national institutions acting within their defined competence. Condemning all attacks targeting civilians, Afghan and international forces, the Council expressed strong concern over the recruitment and use of civilians by the Taliban and other violent and extremist groups.

Home Ministry officials revealed that at least 60 militants belonging to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) groups are being trained at terror launch pads across the border, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir, reports India Today on March 18. The officials said that according to intelligence inputs, the militants were looking for opportunities to enter India through both the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC). According to a Home Ministry statistics, there have been more than 175 infiltration attempts in Jammu and Kashmir in 2014. Around 560 incidents of ceasefire violation also have taken place along the LoC and the IB in 2014. In 2013, there were 354 cases of infiltration along the Indo-Pakistan border in which 56 militants were killed and 145 arrested. There were 332 incidents of infiltration from across Pakistan in 2012 in which 30 were killed and 123 were apprehended. In 2011, there were 317 incidents of infiltration in which 50 militants were killed and 86 arrested.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) issued an alert to Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) about a possible infiltration bid and terror attack by the banned militant outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in Samba and Kathua Districts of Jammu and Kashmir, reports Zee News on March 23. According to reports, the IB told MHA that the militant outfits are planning to carry out a fidayeen (suicide) attack in the region. The IB issued the alert at a time when two guerrillas attacked an Army camp in Samba District on March 21 and were later gunned down by the security forces.

A camp at Aluva in the Ernakulam District of Kerala is under the scanner of the National Investigating Agency (NIA) which is currently miffed with several State Governments for not doing enough in the cases against the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports One India on March 26. , Intelligence Bureau officials said that the five SIMI operatives who have been on the run since October 2013 after they broke out from the Khandwa jail in Madhya Pradesh attended a camp at Aluva in Kerala which was meant to discuss terror related activities. The officials added that the SIMI is regrouping and this meeting at Aluva was held only to discuss the future course of action. With the NIA now on the hunt for the SIMI fugitives who had escaped from jail over a year back, Intelligence is trickling in which suggests that they had made several visits to Aluva. A camp at Aluva which was aimed a regrouping several members of the SIMI is being seen as a big development by the security agencies. Reports said that these kinds of camps are extremely dangerous and we have seen in the past as well how the members regrouped and became extremely dangerous. Aluva has been used in the past by members of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) too. The confessional statement by Abdul Karim Tunda, a key LeT operative gives a clear indication of how Aluva had been used a training ground by several operatives. Tunda gave a perspective as to how these camps not always train for combat, but to hold meetings for a large gathering of people. It is aimed at changing the mindset of the people at large so that they carry out anti India activities, Tunda had also revealed. Intelligence Bureau officials said that these camps have mushroomed on and off in various parts of Kerala. There are preachers flown in from Saudi Arabia who give out sermons only with an intention of radicalizing the youth. A camp similar to the one held in Aluva was also conducted in Wagamon, a hill station located in Kottayam-Idukki border of Kottayam District of Kerala. The camp that was held in 2007 paved the way for the birth of the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Several members of the IM such as Yasin, Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal were part of this camp. The camp was headed by SIMI chief Safdar Nagori who swore revenge against India. These camps ensured the regrouping of various youth who went on to form the IM. Tunda during his interrogation also said about the camp at Wagamon. He had told the Police that several such camps were held in various parts of Kerala which had helped the groups flourish. These camps not only helped to change the mindset but also increased the recruitments, the Police had also found while questioning Tunda.

Citing the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attack and four other cases, the March 25, 2015 released FBI 9/11 Review Commission report concluded that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) needs faster reforms to transform itself into a threat-based, intelligence-driven organisation, New Indian Express reports on March 26. One of the key plotters of 26/11, Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, the report noted "had previously come to the attention of US law enforcement authorities but FBI officials repeatedly concluded that Headley did not pose a threat at the time." "The increasingly complex and dangerous threat environment it faces will require no less," said the report which studied FBI investigations into five "significant terrorism events." In none of those cases did a confidential source "provide actionable intelligence to help prevent or respond to a terrorist operation," the report said. In December 2007, Headley's Moroccan wife complained to US officials at the US Embassy in Islamabad (Capital of Pakistan) that her husband was a terrorist. But the FBI investigation of Headley did not begin until 2009, and it was triggered by a tip that originated outside the FBI that revealed his relationships with extremists abroad, the report said. "One of the main lessons from the Headley case is that absent an intelligence effort across the US Intelligence Community to understand the connections among cases and complaints across field offices, relevant intelligence may fall by the wayside," it said. News outlets, it noted, have reported, prior to his terrorist activities, Headley had worked as a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informant in the late 1990s and the early 2000s, following two heroin trafficking arrests. "A single complaint may be more easily dismissed as a poison pen motive, but several unrelated complaints should not be dismissed as readily as the work of a malcontent," the report said. "The Headley case raises the important question faced by all intelligence agencies - certainly important to the FBI - of how to scan and assess voluminous amounts of collected information strategically and identifying valuable intelligence leads," the report said. "Still, more than a decade after 9/11, the FBI must prioritize empowering and equipping its analytic cadre to make these connections with cutting edge technology, to minimize the risk of the FBI missing important intelligence information," it said. "The FBI had no knowledge of Headley's connections to Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT) until provided with a tip that originated outside the FBI that prompted the investigation in 2009.

Having failed to execute any major terror strike in the Kashmir Valley in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) over the last few months and increase militant activity in the region, Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) is now hatching a major conspiracy to target Indian assets in Afghanistan, including the embassy and consulates, said top Intelligence sources, reports The Asian Age on March 27. Intelligence sources said that security at these installations has been beefed up considerably in wake of these fresh inputs and even the staff working there has been advised to remain on high alert. According to a report prepared by an external intelligence agency, the ISI has roped in both the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Taliban operatives for this purpose. LeT is also suspected to have carried out the attack on the Indian consulate in Herat in May 2014 with help of Pak security agencies. The reports stated that “Despite repeated attempts, Pakistan has failed to increase militant activities in the Valley except the recent attacks in Kathua. This is largely due to increased patrolling by Indian forces along the border and the pressure they have mounted on the militants operating in the Valley. Thus the ISI now wants to change its modus operandi and shift focus to neighbouring Afghanistan to target Indian assets there with help of Taliban also.’’ India is actively involved in a lot of infrastructure and construction projects in Afghanistan helping the country re-build after a long internal war. According to this classified intelligence report, Pakistan is extremely skeptical of India’s growing presence in Afghanistan and specially the support that it is receiving from United States (US).

According to reports, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has set up fresh base camps in areas closer to the Indo-Pak border with active support from the Pakistani Army, IndiaTv, reports on March 29. The LeT is now aiming to execute its plan of terror attacks in Indian territory. In its report to the Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA), the Border Security Force (BSF) has said that it has identified more than 10 terror camps aligning the International Border. Militants, trained by the Pakistani Army in the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), are brought to these forward areas and put on standby to strike at short notice. Bada Bhai Masroor, Abhial Dogra, Chaprar, Sukhmal and Charkbhura in Pakistan, close to the Jammu border, have been identified as the launch pads that are being controlled by LeT. The BSF report also stated that eight infiltration attempts have been foiled in the past two months in the region.
