Six absconding Laskar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives from Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) are currently residing in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and are operating from there, Times of India reports on October 3.On September 16, 2016, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) special court in Bangalore (Karnataka) had sentenced 13 LeT operatives, including a B Com student from Hyderabad, Obaidur Ur Rehman, to five-year imprisonment for conspiring to kill right-wing politicians, journalists and police personnel from Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh), Bengaluru (Karnataka), Hubli (Karnataka) and Nanded (Maharashtra).The four-year investigation by NIA's Hyderabad unit had revealed that six of them, currently residing in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, were instrumental in hatching the conspiracy. They include: Md Abdul Majeed, Siddique Bin Osman alias Abu Hanzala alias Saber alias Chimamu alias Rafeeq alias Jabri, Furkhan Bhai alias Abdulla alias Abu Saad alias Masood, Abdul Rahman alias Mohammed Farhatullah Ghori alias Abu Sufiyan alias Sufi Mama alias Faru Miya alias Qaid alias FG alias Professor, Asad Khan alias Abu Sufiyan alias Asadullah Khan and Mohammed Bhai alias Abdul Bari alias Abu Hamza. Among the six, three of them have criminal cases registered against them. Ghori is wanted in the Akshardhan terror attack case, while Mohammed Bhai alias Abdul Bari alias Abu Hamza in the 2002 Dilsukhnagar Sai Baba temple blast case and Siddique Bin Osman in the 1998 conspiracy case (155/98) registered at the CCS, Hyderabad. "Red Corner Notices are issued against all the wanted accused from the city and even the Saudi Arabian government was given their details, requesting for capture in case of a trace so that they could be deported," an unnamed Telangana intelligence official said.Three other convicts — Abdul Hakeem Jamadar, Zafar Iqbal Sholapur and Md Akram from Karnataka — had in fact got in touch with Abdul Rahman alias Mohammed Farhatulla Ghori, the terror operative from Hyderabad wanted in the Akshardham temple attack case. Hakeem Jamadar and Iqbal Sholapur met Ghori in Karachi (Pakistan), while Akram contacted him in Saudi Arabia twice (2011 and 2012). "Jamadar and Zafar wanted to join Taliban and fight against NATO forces in Afghanistan. Ghori convinced them to carry out jihadi activities in India and introduced them to ISI [Inter Services Intelligence] handlers Hamd, Mustafa, Abdul Wahed and LeT ‘commander’ Riyan. The duo was trained in intelligence gathering, cyber espionage and weapon handling," an unnamed NIA official said.LeT and HuJI operative from Hyderabad, Mohammed Abdul Majeed, brother of Task Force blast case accused, Shahid Bilal, had lured Akram of Bangalore to Saudi with a driver job as cover. "Majeed introduced Akram to several LeT operatives of Hyderabad based in Riyadh and Dammam, who were already guiding other accused about how to carry out terror attacks in India," said another unnamed official, who was part of the investigation.

A sessions courtin Bangalore on October 5, sentenced convicted Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant Bilal Ahmed Kota to life imprisonment for plotting to carry out terror attacks in the city nearly a decade ago, reports nyoooz.com. “Bilal Ahmed Kota alias Imran Jalal has been sentenced to life imprisonment for hatching a criminal conspiracy to attack IT firms and vital installations in Bengaluru,” said sessions court Judge K. M. Hiremath. “Kota received arms training at one of the LeT jihadi camps at Muzzafarabad and operated for some time from Islamabad in Pakistan during 1995-99. Five others accused in the terror case, including three of Pakistani origin, still remain at large. He also obtained a passport on fake identity and went to Pakistan again in 2005 to receive instructions from LeT handlers to survey IT firms, the state secretariat and the city airport for terror attacks subsequently,” recalled Ravindra.On an Intelligence Bureau tip-off, the state anti-terrorism cell arrested Kota in the city on January 5, 2007 as the prime accused and recovered in a search operation an AK-47 assault rifle, 200 rounds of live ammunition and five hand grenades from his rented house at Hosapete in Ballari District in Karnataka. Five others accused in the terror case, including three of Pakistani origin, still remain at large.

Highly placed sources said that communication centre of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and arms and ammunition depot of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) were destroyed at Kail in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the surgical strikes conducted by Special Forces n September 29 where large number of militants including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) “operational commander”, Shahid alias Arif Rahmani, were killed, reports Daily excelsior on October 6. Sources said that JeM and HM launching pads at Kail and Chilana were made of tin sheds besides two small concrete buildings and they were destroyed in the strike. The HM commander of the Kail camp across Baramulla, Gazi Sarfraz and his associates have been seriously injured in the attack. Sources said that at Kail 20-30 militants of HM and JeM, who were waiting for launching through Tanghdar sector were eliminated. Sources also said that at Chilana launch pad across Leepa Valley of Kupwara, eight militants were killed in the strike. JeM commander Shahbaz Adil is missing since then. At Dudniyal, LeT launch pad was destroyed and nine militants were killed. The camp commander Shahid alias Arif Rahman was seriously injured while Athumkam camp commander of LeT Dilawar Khan’s radio set is not sending any message which means he is either dead or seriously injured.The reports adds that Pakistan has brought in 100 more trained terrorists at launching pads along the LoC opposite Jammu and Kashmir with each launch pad of 10 terrorists being protected by at least 50 Pakistan Army personnel of Infantry division to save them from any fresh surgical strikes by the Indian Army inside PoK. National Security Advisor (NSA), who was one of the major brain behind September 29 successful surgical strikes inside PoK, is understood to have briefed Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on October 5 morning about new strategy adopted by Pakistan Government and Army in the aftermath (of surgical strikes) in which over 50 Pakistani militants and nine Pakistan army personnel were reportedly killed and many others left injured. According to sources, this was for the first time when Pakistan has come out openly in support of the militants stationed at the launch pads for infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier, Pakistan army used to train and guide the militants and then leave them at the launch pads for infiltration. But after the surgical strikes, Pakistan Army has openly stationed its around 50 jawans at every launch pad to save the militants from Indian surgical strikes, sources pointed out and said that Army and Border Security Force (BSF) have been maintaining very high alert along LoC in Kupwara and Baramulla in Kashmir and twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region to thwart infiltration attempts.

The Government believes at least 250 terrorists belonging to three Pakistan-based terror groups are active in the Kashmir valley and they could target Security Forces (SFs) to 'avenge' the surgical strikes carried out by the Army across the Line of Control (LoC), reports The Times of India. Quoting intelligence inputs, top Government sources said that most of the 250 terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) had infiltrated before the surgical strikes and were hiding here. They said the terrorists have been given clear instructions by their handlers across the border to target security forces to "avenge" the surgical strikes. The central Government has asked SFs operating in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to maintain maximum alertness and take all precautions to foil any attempt by the militants to target them. Sources said even though vigil along the LoC as well as the International Border (IB) was intensified, there were gaps in many places due to the difficult topography. Army, Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and J&K Police have also stepped up search for the terrorists. It is believed that some 100 terrorists are waiting across the border to infiltrate, as was first reported by The Times of India last week. SFs have killed more than 40 terrorists in the last one month while they were trying to infiltrate or attack the bases of Army and other SFs. Since the attack on the Army's Uri camp which killed 19 soldiers, terrorists have made several attempts in Baramulla, Pampore and Handwara. According to sources, LeT suffered maximum damage in the cross-LoC surgical strikes carried out by the Army with radio intercepts indicating that around 20 of its militants were killed.

Two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants holed up in the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) hostel building in Pampore District were killed by the Security Forces (SFs) on October 12 (today), reports The Times of India. "The operation at Pampore is still going on. The concrete structure is posing a difficulty to the army personnel in bringing it down," the officials said. SFs have cordoned off the building of EDI since October 10, after three militants barged inside the complex with the aim of engaging the law enforcing agencies. The operation has been now going on for 52 hours as most parts of the concrete building have been damaged after many of its walls were blown up. In the initial exchange of firing, one army soldier was injured, the officials said. Elite Para commandos of the army have also been called in to neutralise the militants but the SF personnel are not rushing in to the building to avoid casualties, the officials said.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently concluded the BRICS Summit, and termed it a success, with multiple MoUs penned in various fields, however, India’s biggest concern: cross-border terrorism from Pakistan was not adequately addressed during the meeting, with China obstructing India’s attempts at naming Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) during the Goa declaration, india.com reports on October 17.India was expecting to mention the terror outfits in the declaration, but, as MEA Secretary Amar Sinha told, the BRICS nations couldn’t arrive at a consensus on the issue. ”Pakistan-based outfits are focused on India. It doesn’t concern them (other Brics nations) really, it affects us,” Sinha said. However, international terror outfits like the Islamic State (IS) and Jabhat-al-Nusra, were mentioned in the declaration. When asked why India couldn’t address cross-border terrorism adequately, Sinha said that India focussed on ideas and concepts and refrained from specific terms. ”We were focused on the ideas we wanted to be included. And if you look at what the joint statement says, I think it is pretty clear that we are talking about our neighbourhood,” Sinha said.Meanwhile, the declaration called for adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) at the UN general assembly, immediately. The PM had taken up the adoption of the Convention with most world leaders that he has met in the past two years. An early adoption of the Convention found mention in Sunday’s Declaration in Goa as well.

The infiltration of militants into Kashmir valley has gone up this year despite Army being on high alert along the Line of Control (LoC) and militants are making desperate attempts to sneak in even after surgical strikes conducted by Special Forces of Army in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) last month, reports Daily Excelsior on October 17. According to MultiAgency Centre (MAC) figures, 83 militants, mostly belonging to LashkareToiba (LeT), have infiltrated into Kashmir this year till August while last year the number was 35 for the whole year. However, a senior security force officer said that it is a conservative estimate and the figure could be higher than official figure as since July 8, after the killing of HizbulMujahideen (HM) ‘commander’, Burhan Wani, the security agencies are not getting accurate picture about recently infiltrated militants. The officer said that some of the recently infiltrated groups are yet to come under Security Forces (SFs) radar. Some of these militants are still in North Kashmir’s forest areas near the LoC while others have managed to reach the hinterland unnoticed. The infiltration attempts are still going on despite the surgical strikes against the militant launch pads in PoK at Dudniyal in Kail, Neelam, Leepa, Bhimber and Tata Pani. At Dudniyal in Kail area, the LeT suffered major damage where lot of their cadre who were planning to infiltrate were killed. Sources said that despite the surgical strikes the militant training camps are still active in PoK with 19 of them most active including those at Skardu, Kel, Karko, Dullu, Titwal, Chakoti, Kotli, Dehri, Barhal Mirpur and Chaprai. In these training camps, the militants are receiving rigorous training besides map reading, global positioning system (GPS) use, weight, weapon and tactical training. They said that over 200 militants are still waiting at launch pads for infiltration before the onset of winter but now they are alert. The militant leaders want to push in more infiltrators this year ahead of winter as security forces achieved major success against militants this year by eliminating over 115 of them so far. Army has intensified its vigil along the LoC and already two Brigades of Army have been sent to LoC in North Kashmir to take on the infiltrated militants and one more Brigade of Army has been sent to South Kashmir after increased militancy in the area. Militants taking advantage of the unrest have recruited locals into militancy and have activated their Over Ground Workers (OGWs) as well. The involvement of locals into militancy is a major challenge for the security agencies.

At least 44 persons were arrested in an operation in Baramulla District on October 17 for their involvement in terror-related activities, reports Daily Excelsior. It was a multi-agency crackdown in the old town of Baramulla. After 700-odd houses were searched, security agencies seized petrol bombs, Chinese and Pakistani flags, letter pads of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), illegal mobile phones and other seditious material, defence spokesperson Manish Kumar said. The crackdown was part of a joint operation by the Army, the Border Security Force (BSF), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Police in 10 localities, including Qazi Hamam, Ganai Hamam, Taweed Gunj and Jamia, considered safe havens for terrorists. A large number of suspected hideouts were also busted during the search operation, the officer added.Also, the Police said that the search operation was launched to nab militants. "We had information about the presence of militants in the area. It was an anti-militancy operation aimed at nabbing some Jaish-e-Mohammed militants who had taken refuge in the area," said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Baramulla, Imtiyaz Hussain Mir.

Intelligence agencies have warned that terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), having failed to get adequate “logistical support from sleeper cells in India”, are planning a major lone-wolf attack in the coming days, Asian Age reports on October 19. Following specific intelligence inputs to this effect, nearly 75 per cent of the NSG commando force has been kept on stand-by in major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, to deal with any eventuality.The home ministry had recently issued an advisory to all states to increase security during the festive season. Following surgical strikes by the Indian Army across the Line of Control, Indian intelligence inputs have revealed that Pakistan-based terror groups LeT and JeM are getting “increasingly desperate” to carry out a major strike in an important Indian city. Intelligence sources claim that further investigations revealed that these terror organisations were not able to activate and get enough support from their local sleeper cells due to which the execution of a major strike did not seem possible. Thus, they have shifted their focus and are planning to use a lone wolf for the attack. “Following a high state of alert and sustained pressure by security agencies which even led to the smashing of an Islamic State (IS) module in south India by the NIA, it has become increasing difficult for sleeper cells to reactivate themselves,” a senior intelligence official said.

Pakistani national Mohammad Ghani Usman, a veteran bomb maker of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), who was arrested in Austria earlier this year and charged by France for November 2015 Paris attacks, may soon face investigators of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Times of India reports on October 30. Top officials said NIA wants to interrogate 35-year-old Usman, who later joined Islamic State (IS), to find out if the "expert bomb-maker" of the LeT played any part in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. In his disclosures to agencies, Tamil Nadu-based Indian fighter of IS, Subahani Haja Moideen, has said that Usman was his best pal in Iraq and often told him that he was an "important person" in the LeT heirarchy while in Pakistan. The agency will write to ministries of home and external affairs seeking permission to travel to France soon. It is already in touch with France on Moideen's fresh claims about Paris attacks and his training period with Paris attackers/conspirators including their group commander, a man they knew as Abu Suleiman Al-Francisi, who they suspect could be the mastermind of Paris carnage, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
