In a crackdown on terror modules operating in Karnataka, Bangalore Police arrested one more youth with alleged links to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), taking the number of those detained to 13, according to Economic Times. The central crime branch wing of Bangalore Police arrested Mohammed Akram (22) on September 1, while he was allegedly trying to flee the city. According to Police, the youths were planning to target vital installations and assassinate several political leaders. Speaking to reporters in Bangalore on September 2, city Police Commissioner B.G. Jyothiprakash Mirji commented, "one foreign-made pistol along with 16 cartridges and other incriminating articles have been found in his possession." According to Police, during preliminary inquiry it was learnt that Akram hails from Maharashtra's Nanded District, and he had been to Saudi Arabia for a year and returned to India. Mirji further said, "It is also learnt that he was taking shelter in Bangalore city for past several days and along with other arrested accused, he was hatching a conspiracy to execute target killings in Bangalore and elsewhere.”

One of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal told investigators that the Karachi control room, from where handlers guided 26/11 terrorists, was set up three days before the attack and was equipped with various gadgets, including laptops and satellite phones, reports The Times of India on September 3. The control room was established on the orders of LeT ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed in the office of one Abu Yakoob in the locality of Quaidabad in Karachi District in the Sindh Province, between Malir Cantonment and Jinnah International Airport. Jundal further told interrogators that, on November 26, 2008 Shah, Nadeem and Kahafa fasted and regularly inspected the gadgets. During the day, two Pakistani army officers—Major Sameer Ali and Sajid Mir—came to the control room, checked up on everybody and left. Nadeem also left at some point. Around 7pm, LeT ‘commander’ Zaki-Ur-Rahman Lakhvi arrived with Abu Alkama and Abu Wassi, broke their fast and offered namaz. They took dinner at 8pm and switched on the TV. Jundal told investigators that he instructed terrorists Abu Babar Imran and Nasir Abu Umar, who attacked Nariman House in Colaba in Mumbai. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

As the Karnataka terror module stretches to Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, security agencies are probing if it is also linked with LeT operative Fayaz Kagzi. "There are circumstances that point in that direction, but things will be clear only after further investigation," said an official from the security establishment. National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed an FIR against him for preparing to attack Delhi and Mumbai (Maharashtra). The FIR says Kagzi had been trying to recruit operatives in India and were procuring explosives through them for terror attacks.

The ATS team said they have to arrest them with the help of one of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal.

Officials are gathering evidence to establish that Abdul Hakeem Jamadar, 25, and Dr Zafar Iqbal Sholapur, 27, went to Pakistan through a circuitous Middle East route, including Iran, not reflected on their passports. The fact that they were able to connect to the terror set-up in Pakistan through conduits in Saudi Arabia is being viewed seriously. Investigators believe the group was also in the process of sending more people to Pakistan. Saudi Arabia-based Abdul Majid, a brother of Shahid Bilal (HuJI ‘commander’) and Abdul Samad (both reported killed in Pakistan in August 30, 2007), is believed to have been the key link in connecting the terror suspects to the LeT network in Pakistan for training.

A senior officer commented, "It's a matter of concern for the government. In the recent past, most of the terrorists arrested by law enforcing agencies are from these districts. It's high time that we step up our vigil, otherwise it will be too late”. It was found that activists of the banned Students Islamic movement of India (SIMI), Indian Mujahideen (IM) and certain organisations from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, were focusing on the Marathwada region and were being funded from across the border. After the arrest of one of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) found that most of the persons, who have been detained so far, did visit Pakistan for training or were trained locally by those who had visited the country. "We are closely watching the situation in Marathwada. We are sure we can break the nexus between members of the banned outfit and their Pakistani counterparts,'' the officer further added.

India is vulnerable to the global nature of terrorist strikes, Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Nehchal Sandhu has said, on September 6, citing the attack on an Israeli diplomat’s vehicle on February 13, 2012 at New Delhi, reports Indian Express. Sandhu said the terrorist attack on the diplomat’s vehicle indicated that India is becoming a hub for global terrorists seeking to target foreigners in the country. “This incident brings to the fore the need to be sensitive to the trends developing in the sphere of international terrorism and an effective international cooperation is needed to prevent such attacks on Indian soil,” Sandhu said. The arrests of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) terror modules in Karnataka and subsequent investigations on the case exposed the vulnerability of the Indian youth to the radical elements, he said. He urged the top police officers to focus on counter-radicalisation and de-radicalisation policy. Through counter-radicalisation, security agencies should proactively neutralise radical elements. He also said terror modules of LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) are still active along the border. He also called for Centre’s help and technical support to tackle cyber terrorism in states that do not have enough infrastructure to thwart such activities.

A highly-specialised cyber division of Pakistan’s the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been assigned the task of training operatives of militant outfits in the use of cyber technology, as reported on September 10, by Deccan Herald. The ISI’s cyber experts are visiting training camps of militant outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Indian Mujahideen (IM) most of which are located in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to train their cadre in use of computers. These details form part of a classified note which was discussed during the high level security review meeting of DGPs/IGPs that concluded in the capital on September 8. According to the note, “the ISI is now working on a bigger gameplan in training terrorists in the use of cyber and computer technology as the Pakistani agency feels India is not fully equipped in dealing with incidents of cyber war or attack.’’ Importantly, the note states that the training given to subversive elements by ISI’s cyber experts played a key role in spreading the hate campaign through MMS and SMSes targeting people from the Northeast in wake of ethnic violence in Assam. And this trend will only increase in the days to come and it is for this reason that ISI has stressed upon militant outfits to recruit more educated youth, it adds. “It is almost certain that the Pakistani agency was behind the recent cyber attack on India, at least indirectly. Having tasted success they will try it again in future and on a much bigger scale. So we must be prepared to deal with this challenge,’’ a senior intelligence official said.

The Delhi Police has charge sheeted four persons, including a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative for allegedly planning to execute blasts at major shopping centres in Delhi at the behest of their Pakistani handlers, reports Deccan Herald. The charge sheet has also named seven Pakistani nationals and a Jammu and Kashmir native as suspects in the case. The charge sheet filed by the special cell of the Delhi Police in the court of chief metropolitan magistrate Vidya Prakash has named alleged LeT militant Ahtisham Farooq Malick and three others - Shafaqat Ali Tuggu, Tawseef Ahmed Peer and Saijee Anwar as accused. While Ahtisham, Shafaqat and Tawseef are in judicial custody in the case, Saijee is out on bail. Those named as suspects are Jammu and Kashmir resident Usman and seven Pakistani nationals Hanzala, Furkan, Mohsin, Waleed, Javed, Qari and Hamja. The court has already issued open non-bailable warrants against them. The Police said in its charge sheet that it had received on February 27 a secret information from a central intelligence agency about arrival of LeT militant Ahtisham in Delhi for executing terrorist strikes at various sites here. It said Ahtisham was staying with Shafaqat at Tuglaqabad and both of them were apprehended and a bag, recovered from Ahtisham, was found containing explosive material. In its charge sheet, police added that Ahtisham was earlier arrested in Srinagar in 2007 for hurling hand grenade on an Army convoy and had gone to Jharkhand after his release and subsequently to Pakistan in 2009 for special training in handling fire arms. The charge sheet said Ahtisham also disclosed that his mentor and LeT ‘commander’ Hanzala, named as a suspect in the charge sheet, had given him the task to conduct blast at major shopping areas in Delhi and he motivated Shafaqat for the task and procured improvised explosive device (IED) and explosives from old Delhi area. He also named Tawseef, who was arrested from Jharkhand. Police said it has also recovered from Ahtisham’s e-mail id incriminating messages written to Hanzala, a resident of Pakistan and also to an Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) officer.

A local court on September 11 remanded suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative and November 26, 2008 (26/11) key handler Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal to the custody of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) till September 24 for his alleged role in the conspiracy to attack the Nashik (Maharashtra) Police Academy here in 2010, according to The Telegraph. Jundal also told interrogators that he had sent INR 50,000 to help an accused (of Aurangabad arms haul case of 2006,) in India but the person who was to deliver the money cheated him and never handed over the money to the accused's family, as reported on September 10, by The Times of India. He also confirmed that the Inter-Services Intelligence ISI members were present in the Karachi (Pakistan) control room during the 26/11 attacks, as reported on September 12, by Hindustan Times. An ISI Major named ‘Sameer’ visited the control room to see how the operation was progressing, Jundal told the Mumbai Police. Jundal also said the ISI major interacted with LeT bosses present in the control room, officials said.

Calling Indian Mujahedeen (IM) a "start to finish jihad factory", security agencies have asked country's Police brass to watch out for the outfit, which continues to be on a "talent scouting" spree, emboldened by tacit support of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and its labyrinthine networks in various cities of Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi, reports The Times of India. Referring to 40 "missing" youth of Maharashtra, who might have gone underground after joining IM, the central agencies asked top Policemen to look for their whereabouts. It is suspected that some of the youth might have joined the outfit during its routine recruitment drive. While "innocuous religious platforms" like Quran Foundation, Pune (Maharashtra); and Islamic Guidance Centre, Mangalore (Karnataka), among other similar institutions are happy hunting ground for its cadres, IM's primary targets are disenchanted Muslim youth —ranging from petty criminals to well-heeled software professionals. The agencies, in their presentation on IM, noted that recruitment of IT professional Mansoor Ali Mohammed Peerbhoy was a prized catch for the outfit. He was enlisted while he studying Arabic at Quran Foundation. Peerbhoy, a Yahoo executive-turned-media chief of IM, who was arrested in 2008, had lured a number of educated youth to IM's fold. Recruitments of Arif Badar, improvised explosive device (IED) assembly and micro-chip based timer expert, and Mobin, internet hacking expert, were cited as cases in point of how budding talents were identified and trained as terrorists through fiery and emotive taqrirs (speeches) and attitude hardening dars (lessons). It was noted that "brainwashing through doctored pictorials and videos, such as, that of Godhra and Babri Masjid incidents" was very common in taqrirs and dars. It is also noted that IM doesn't have a defined structure. Its top leaders run the show from safe havens not only in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia but also in Nepal and the UAE (Dubai and Sharjah). It has "substantial corpus of money" having funding sources based in Kuwait, Riyadh, Chicago and various cities in Pakistan. Though IM came to notice for the first time when it sent e-mail to media houses ahead of serial blasts in Faizabad, Lucknow and Varanasi in UP in November, 2007, its genesis - the note says - goes back to 2000. At that time, IM was largely involved in talent spotting, motivation and training of Indian youth in Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and ISI facilities to lend credence to the "homegrown terror" concept.

Army on September 16 intensified its operation in Uri forests after militants trapped by them in the evening of September 15 proved to be a group of recently infiltrated militants from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). An unnamed Army officer said that they had information about the presence of two militants in the Lacchipora forests of Uri when they launched an operation. Now it has been established that it was a group of at least 3-4 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who had managed to infiltrate through Kamalkote sector of Uri on September 2. The Army had claimed on September 2 that the infiltration bid was foiled by Army after they found a group of heavily armed militants trying to infiltrate into Kashmir valley by crossing the fence in Kamalkote sector of Uri. However, the General Officer Commanding (GOC, 19 Division), Bipin Rawat, had told reporters then that Army had apprehensions about infiltration of some of the militants as they had noticed marks near the fence. The GOC had said that day that Army had noticed movement of around three infiltrators near the fence on September 3 but they were fired upon and after that they didn't notice any forward movement.

Investigations have revealed that Indian Mujahideen (IM), has links with the international Islamic organization Hizb-ul-Tahrir (HuT) banned in Germany and Bangladesh, as reported on September 27, by The Times of India. In a charge sheet filed a few days ago, Delhi Police has claimed it found documents related to HuT from the hideout of an IM member named Shakeel. This is the first instance of an IM-HuT link being found in India. Further, Delhi Police had filed two charge sheets against IM members and the alleged handler in the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attacks case, Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal. The first charge sheet is against IM militants Kafeel Akhtar, Kamaal Hasan alias Bilal and Mohammad Shakeel, related to the discovery of an arms factory in Meer Vihar, Delhi in 2011. A team led by Special Cell DCP Sanjeev Yadav reported that the factory was being run by Ahmad Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal, the IM ‘chief’ in India. Sources say the suspects' questioning yielded details about HuT and its link with IM. With Interpol's help, Delhi Police found that IM's HuT links are active in Austria, Ankara (Turkey) and Beirut (Lebanon). The banned outfit has a presence in more than 40 countries, and about one million members. It even has a base in the UK and a growing presence in North America. In the second charge sheet, Jundal is accused of involvement in terror activities across India. "He, along with Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] chief Zaki-ur-Rehman alias Lakhvi, monitored the 26/11 attacks from a control room at Malir in Karachi [Pakistan]," says the charge sheet. It also names Fasih Mohammad as a suspect in the Bangalore and Delhi blasts. He has been detained in Saudi Arabia. In addition, September 26, Zee News reported that Delhi Police said this is in a supplementary charge sheet in the Jama Masjid blast case (September 19, 2010) in which 11 IM militants were charge sheeted earlier. The investigators said during the probe it became evident that Jundal was also involved in the Jama Masjid blast case. The charge sheet said Jundal stated that one of the LeT operatives, Asim alias Abu Kahajo, the main handler of 10 terrorists involved in Mumbai terror attack, blamed failure of intended operation in September 2008 on selection of wrong time and the bad situation of Moon. "All ten persons involved in the 26/11 attack were taught Hindi and Mumbai's local language for ten days at terrorist camp at Baitul, Muzafaraad by Jundal, who is himself a native of Beed District in Maharashtra. The ten terrorists who had executed the attack are Abu Akasha, Abu Umar, Ismail, Ajmal Kasab (lone surviving 26/11 terrorist), Abdul Rahman Big, Abdul Rahman Small, Abu Fahadulla, Musab, Umer and Ali. In his disclosure statement annexed with the charge sheet, Jundal said that a control room was set up by Zaki-ur-Rehman at one Yaqoob's office in Karachi for monitoring of the terror attack and that Jundal himself was speaking to Abu Akasha and Fahadulla from the control room. Besides Jundal and Lakhvi, those who were present in the control room were Abu Alkama, Abu Kahaja, Khalida alias Wasi, Zarar and Shahid alias Nadeem. The charge sheet also says that Jundal had in his disclosure statement revealed that a total of 12 persons had received training for the 26/11 attack but two of them Abdulla and Qasim left the operation. The Police has booked Jundal under section 471 (using as genuine a forged document), 489 B (using as genuine, forged or counterfeit currency), 489 C (possessing counterfeit currency) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). And also under various provisions of the Explosive Substances Act, and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), besides the Passport Act and Arms Act. The charge sheet said besides the Mumbai mayhem, Jundal also confessed to his involvement in various terror attacks across India including Aurangabad arms haul case, Chinnaswamy stadium blast case, the 2010 German bakery blast and the Nasik Academy attack case.

The Mumbai Police suspect that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) may have conspired to send November 26, 2008 (26/11) handler Abu Jundal from Pakistan to the Middle East, so he could be caught by Indian agencies, thereby exposing the involvement of an Indian in the terror attacks, as reported on September 27, by Hindustan Times. Sources said that after Pakistan received a lot of criticism about the setting up of a control room in Karachi (Sindh) to coordinate the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai (Maharashtra), LeT bosses ensured that Jundal, a native of Beed District of Maharashtra, moved to the Middle East so he could come into the radar of Indian agencies. Jundal, during question, told the Police that his move to Middle East could have been part of a conspiracy. Earlier, on May 9, 2006, in two separate seizures the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS), Maharashtra and the Aurangabad Police recovered 43 kilograms of RDX, along with 16 AK-47's, along with 3200 live cartridges. Jundal was one of the main accused in the case but managed to flee to Bangladesh. The LeT then helped him escape to Karachi.

Sources identified the slain militants as Abu Mahaz alias Khandari Kashmiri, a ‘divisional commander’ and Abu Anzala alias Abu Tallah Afghani, an ‘area commander’ of the LeT. Both of them were Pakistani nationals and were wearing Army uniform. Official sources said troops observed movement of militants trying to infiltrate into Indian Territory on surveillance gadgets installed between Roshni and Gun Hill Posts at Balnoi sector of Mendhar at 2am. Troops challenged the militants when they reached close to the fence and asked them to surrender. The militants opened firing and made attempts to sneak into this side. A heavy exchange of gun fighting between militants and the troops continued till 3.30am in which two infiltrators were killed. As the Army personnel were engaged in searches, Pakistani troops started heavy firing on Indian positions at 5.30am in an apparent bid to facilitate infiltration by remaining militants. The firing from Pakistan side continued till 8am, sources said. However, an effective retaliation by the troops forced rest of the militants to retreat to PoK. Army didn’t suffer any casualties in the firing. Troops conducted searches on the LoC and recovered bodies of both the slain militants along with a large quantity of arms, ammunition and other items. Recoveries made from the scene of encounter included two AK-47 rifles with 10 magazines and 193 rounds, two pouches, one wireless set with one antenna, two Under Barrel Grenade Launchers (UBGLs), eight UBGL grenades, two Pakistan made water bottles, one medicine kit, two Taiwan made Global Positioning Systems, two Nokia mobile handsets, two Indian SIM cards, Rs 12,000 Indian currency including three notes in 1000 denomination and 18 notes in 500 denomination, one map of Mendhar, one compass, one Matrix sheet, three Chinese hand grenades, one I Com set, one newspaper ‘Zaraar’ of Pakistan, two ‘Halwaal’ company’s juice bottles (also Made in Pakistan) and about 5 kg dry fruits.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Central agencies probing the August 1, 2012 Pune (Maharashtra) blasts are now closing in on fronts funding Indian Mujahideen (IM) and its activities, reports Hindustan Times on October 1. One such key front based in south India projects itself as dedicated to social service but is modelled along the lines of the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) in Pakistan; the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) parent body. It has set up several illegal financial channels through which money is being channelled into the country for IM activities. ATS is closely monitoring this body as it may announce itself as a legitimate political outfit and contest elections in a state in south India. The organisation has roots in south India but has now built key bases in Mumbai, Pune, Marathwada region in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, said sources. The finances the organisation generated have come largely from entities in Gulf countries.
