India's most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai terror attacks, has emerged as the world's second most wanted man, next only to a Mexican drug lord, after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, reports Times of India, quoting a report published in The Guardian on May 4. According to reports, like bin Laden, Ibrahim "may well be based in Pakistan." "The most wanted man in India heads up a 5,000-strong organised crime network called the D-Company that is involved in everything from drugs trafficking to contract killing in Pakistan, India and the UAE," the report said. According to Washington reports, Dawood uses the same smuggling routes as al Qaeda, and has worked with both the mother organisation and its off-shoot Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks.

US ambassador to India Timothy Roemer said on May 4 that Pakistan must do more in terms of progress and results in the trial of Mumbai terror attack (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) case, reports Times of India. "Pakistan must do more in terms of its overall approach to (terrorist) groups not only like al-Qaida but also Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) as a terrorist group with more regional and international reach. They (terrorists) killed scores of Indians (in the 26/11 attack), they killed six Americans. It (Pakistan) must do more, making sure that people like (LeT operative Zaki-ur-Rehman) Lakhvi stay in prison," Roemer was quoted saying.

Police has worked out the car blast case of Udhampur (May 2), which was carried out by a Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) militant to target a senior Army officer of the Northern Command at the behest of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) of the Pakistan, and arrested on May 7, a Government official, identified as Abdul Mujeed of Thanamandi, Rajouri District (working as a Over-Ground Worker of LeT) for providing all logistics to the terrorist for reviving the sleeper cells of LeT and start fresh spell of terror in this part of the State. However, the terrorist is absconding and efforts are on to arrest him. It has been reported that, Mujeed was the owner of Maruti 800 that was blown up in the explosion. During Mujeed’s interrogation, the nexus behind the blast got exposed and involvement of a PoK militant, who was residing in Jammu during the past several years on the fake name and identity of Ghulam Sarwar alias Firdos, resident of Behrote Thanamandi, was established. Accordingly, Abdul Mujeed with the assistance of LeT ‘commanders’ namely Hanjla and Usman, arranged a State Subject Certificate, ration card, driving license, an identity card from an institute at Kanpur and CBSE Date of Birth certificate on the name of Ghulam Sarwar, to facilitate the stay of PoK militant in Jammu and Kashmir and avoid suspicion from any quarter.

A fresh set of American diplomatic cables released by the Wikileaks revealed that the Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) facilitated militants to cross the India-Pakistan border to carry out strikes on Indian targets chosen by the Pakistan Army, The Hindu reported on May 9. This information came out of interrogation reports of several detainees at the Guantanamo Bay facility held captive by the U.S authorities. The interrogation reports quoted a detainee as saying that the ISI “allowed” militants to travel to India where they conducted bombings, kidnappings and killing of Kashmiri people. The disclosures are part of 779 interrogation reports from the facility of detainees from all over the world and show how a number of them were linked to the anti-Indian outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and had received terror training in Pakistan. The reports quote detainees from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Pakistan as telling interrogators about their recruitment and subsequent travelling to Pakistan for terror training before their actual deployment for launching attacks against India and Afghanistan.

Hindustan Times reports that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant named as ‘D’ , charge sheeted by FBI on the 26/11 Mumbai attack is now identified as Muuzzammil Bhat (from Jammu and Kashmir), a key LeT ‘commander’, who was involved in Chittisinghpora massacre in Jammu and Kashmir on the eve of President Bill Clinton's visit to India in March 2000. Bhat is absconding and in the absence of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, he is handling operations for LeT. In its second charge sheet, filed in Chicago court, FBI named an Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) official Major Iqbal and four LeT operatives - Sajid Majeed, Abu Qahafa, Abu Alqama and the earlier unknown LeT militant ‘D’. According to FBI, ‘D’, who is yet to be arrested by Pakistan, was a handler of David Coleman Headley. Headley told Indian investigators that Muzzammil was involved in the Chittisinghpora massacre. He also revealed that Muzzammil was most trustworthy lieutenant of Lakhvi and apart from Chittisinghpora killings of Sikhs, he planned the Akshardham temple attack in September 2002.

While denying that Inter-Services Intelligence had a hand in the bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul(July 7, 2008), Mahmud Ali Durrani, Pakistan's National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister, on October 13, 2008, admitted to his Indian counterpart M.K. Narayanan that Pakistan had contacts with “bad guys” and “one of them” could have carried out the attack, reports The Hindu. This news came via a leaked cable revealed by the whistle-blower website Wikileaks. Four Indian nationals, including two senior officials at the Indian Embassy, were among the 58 people killed in the suicide bombing. India accused the ISI of being behind the attack. Among other revelations made by Wikileaks, it was reported that United States officials were worried about the possibility that the top three Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants arrested by Pakistan in connection with the Mumbai terror attacks( November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) could be acquitted and let free by the court for want of evidence. They had complained that New Delhi was at fault in this, as despite repeated interventions by the U.S. government at “several levels,” it had not shared “certified evidence” with Pakistan. Further, it was reported that the United States had “credible reports” that the LeT was planning another attack in India and asked Pakistan to disrupt those plans. The U.S. also warned that if such an attack happened, it could “hinder” Washington's efforts to provide military and non-military aid to Islamabad. Also, less than a year after the Mumbai terrorist attacks, the United States Mission in Islamabad urged Washington to commit $2 billion over a five-year period beginning April 2011 to enable the Pakistan military to address, among other security needs, its “growing conventional disadvantage vis-à-vis India,” in order to secure its cooperation in the “war on terror.”

On the fourth day of the trial in Chicago in US, Mumbai terror attack (November 26, 2008, also known as 26/11) co-accused (along with the Pakistani- Canadian national Tahawwur Hussein Rana), Pakistani- American national David Coleman Headley on May 26 testified that he had attended over 50 training sessions with Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports The Hindu. He confessed of having received espionage] training from the ISI. Other important details revealed by Headley were as follows: A Pakistani Navy man was present during discussions with his ISI handler Major Iqbal on landing sites and arrival of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists by sea. Sajid Mir, the LeT commander of transnational operations, had overall control of the tactical planning of the operation, and issued directions to the attackers using Internet and satellite phone links. He was instrumental in the decision that the assault team would fight until its members were killed, and personally ordered the execution of two hostages held at Mumbai's Chabad House. LeT ‘supreme commander’ Hafiz Muhammad Saeed told the 10-member assault team, which attacked Mumbai in November 2008, that “being shot would feel like a pinprick, bloodstains would be like rose petals, and that angels would come down to take their souls.” Muzammil Bhat, a long-standing veteran of the LeT's operations in Jammu and Kashmir, was responsible for training the assault teams to the high standards needed to execute Mir's plans. Rana told co-accused Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, in a September 2009 conversation, that the nine LeT operatives, who died in the attack, deserved the Nishan-e-Haider — Pakistan's highest military honour. Headley and Rana also discussed plans for future operations during the conversation, which was being secretly recorded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Napolitano said that the U.S. had given India “full access” to David Coleman Headley, the U.S.-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative of Pakistani origin who played a key role in the Mumbai attacks. Referring to the threat posed by the Pakistan based militant outfit LeT she said, “I think, in my judgment, the LeT ranks right up there in the al-Qaeda and related groups as terrorist organisations, one that seeks to harm people and takes innocent lives. Our perspective, the U.S. perspective, is LeT is very, very, I do not want to say, important as that gives it too much credibility, but an organisation that is of the same ranking as al-Qaeda-related groups.”
