The US intelligence agencies had warned India "twice" about a potential maritime attack on Mumbai at least a month before the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, according to Indian Express. "The United States warned the Indian Government about a potential maritime attack against Mumbai at least a month before last week's massacre in the country's financial capital," the CNN quoted a US counter-terrorism official as saying. The American network quoted the official as saying that the warning was issued not once but "twice". A second Government source told ABCnews.com that specific locations, including the Taj Hotel, were listed in the US warning. "US intelligence indicated that a group might enter the country by water and launch an attack on Mumbai, said the official, who refused to be identified due to the ongoing investigation into the attacks and the sensitivity of the information," the CNN mentioned. Indian intelligence officials were quoted by ABCnews.com as saying that on November 18 they intercepted a satellite phone call to a number in Pakistan known to be used by a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) leader. The Indian intercept also revealed a possible "sea-borne attack", it said, citing officials.

According to The Hindu, India has asked Pakistan to take action against three terrorists identified as Mohammed Hafiz Saeed, the founder chief of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Mumbai underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, believed to be living in Pakistan, and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chie Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistan national freed from an Indian prison in exchange for passengers on a hijacked Indian Airlines plane in December 1999. Official sources said Saeed is one of three individuals in a list of 20 against whom India demanded immediate action by Pakistan.

Aides of the LeT chief denied that their leader has any links to terrorists and termed Indian demands for his extradition as ‘ridiculous’. "Hafiz Saeed has never been convicted of any crime anywhere the world," Jama’at-ud-Da’awa spokesman Yahya Mujahid said. Rashid Minhas, the principal of one of Jama’at-ud-Da’awa’s schools, denounced the Mumbai attacks as un-Islamic since civilians were killed. He said, "We teach jihad because it’s part of Islam and we can’t remove it from holy Quran ... but we don’t give jihadi training."

Suspects wanted by India in the terrorist attacks on Mumbai will be tried in Pakistan if there is concrete evidence against them, President Asif Ali Zardari said on December 2, Daily Times reported. He told a television channel in an interview from Islamabad that if proof of wrongdoing surfaced, the men would be tried in Pakistani courts and sentenced. The state of Pakistan is in no way responsible for the Mumbai attacks, he said, which were the work of ‘stateless’, meaning non-state, actors. Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), he said in answer to a question, is a banned organisation in Pakistan and all around the world. “If indeed they are involved, we would not know. Again, they are people who operate outside the system,” he claimed. Asked what Pakistan would do if India does produce evidence linking the terrorists with Pakistan, Zardari replied, “I would — my government would take action, our government would take action, the democratic government of Pakistan would take action against all the actors and anybody who is involved.” Zardari also said no “tangible proof” had come forth so far that the lone survivor from among the terrorists was a Pakistani, as was being claimed. Zardari added that any Indian strike across the border at a suspected terror base would be counterproductive. According to him, “The threat is in the region, and just not to Bombay or to India. The threat to the state of Pakistan. There’s a threat to the state of Afghanistan. It’s a threat throughout the region. So that would be counterproductive.”

The Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (also known as Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT]) has reportedly expressed apprehension about an Indian missile strike on its complex, according to Daily Times. "Will India attack our centre?... Are they serious" said Abu Hassaan, chief administrator at Jama’at-ud-Da’awa headquarters, known as the Markaz-e-Tayyaba. LeT chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed has said that it will be unfortunate if India attacked his organisation’s headquarters in Muridke, as has been indicated in media reports, because the complex housed only educational institutions, Dawn reported. In an interview with a TV channel, he denied that the centre contained any training facility for terrorists or jihadis and said that instead of blaming Pakistan India should focus on investigation of the Mumbai terrorist attacks. He recalled that the involvement of Indian nationals had been proved in various terrorism-related cases being heard in Indian courts.

The US Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell, on December 2 blamed the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) for the multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai, AFP reported, according to Dawn. "The same group that we believe is responsible for Mumbai had a similar attack in 2006 attack on a train and killed a similar number of people," said McConnell, speaking at Harvard University. McConnell, the top US intelligence official, said he did not see the Mumbai attack as a new form of terrorism. "If you examine the groups we think are responsible, the philosophical underpinnings are very similar to what Al-Qaeda puts out as their view of how the world should be. It is a continuation," he said.

According to The Hindu, India issued a strict warning to Pakistan on December 3 that it was “determined to take strongest” possible steps to ensure that there was no repetition of incidents like the Mumbai terrorist attacks. “We are determined to take the strongest possible measures to ensure that there is no repetition of such acts,” said External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee while addressing the third conference of Latin American Studies Council of Asia and Oceania in New Delhi. He termed the attacks as “perhaps the most vicious in the history of independent India,” and public opinion in the country was demanding concrete action and hoped that Pakistan would take “immediate action.” He said India expected Pakistan to honour its “solemn commitments” not to permit the use of its territory for terrorism against her neighbour. “We expect Pakistan to honour its solemn commitments not to permit the use of its territory for terrorism against India,” Mukherjee added. India has blamed the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) for the Mumbai attacks. Besides seeking “strong action” against “elements from Pakistan” linked to the attacks, New Delhi has asked Islamabad to hand over 20 most wanted criminals and terrorists, including LeT chief Hafiz Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, which was rejected by Pakistan.

Interior Adviser Rehman Malik on December 4 denied India had provided Pakistan a list of 20 wanted suspects, saying it had asked for three suspects who do not include Hafiz Muhammad Saeed (chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT]), Daily Times reported. "They gave us three names, two of them are Indian nationals – Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon – and the third is Masood Azhar [Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief]," Malik told reporters in Islamabad. He said the two Indian nationals were not on Pakistani soil, and India should provide evidence against Azhar so that the "law can take its own course". He also denied India had asked Pakistan in writing for a visit of the Inter-Services Intelligence chief. "Pakistan will extend unconditional co-operation to India to bring culprits (of last week’s Mumbai terrorist attacks) to justice. A criminal is a criminal whether he is from Pakistan, India or from anywhere else in the world. But we need concrete evidence against those mentioned by India and the law of the land will take its course," Malik said. To a question regarding the alleged role of LeT in terrorism in India, Malik said the organisation and its activities had already been banned in Pakistan.

Investigations into the Mumbai terrorist attacks have revealed that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives based in Bangladesh were involved in organising the attacks, CNN-IBN reported. Sources said the former Bangladesh head of the LeT arranged for logistical support to the 10 Pakistan-trained terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26. Faisal Nayeem, deported to Pakistan in 2006 under American pressure, was the LeT's commander in Dhaka. Sources investigating the attack claim that Faisal got in touch with LeT's present Bangladesh head, Imran Mian, to arrange SIM cards for the terrorists who carried out the Mumbai attacks. During his stay in Bangladesh, Nayeem had set up an intricate network of agents which allowed him to take Indian youth to Pakistan via Bangladesh. They were trained in Pakistani terror camps and then pushed into India. Faisal told Bangladeshi investigators that he had coordinated several fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks during his stay in Bangladesh including the attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh headquarters in Nagpur in 2004 and a Border Security Force post in Hyderabad in 2005.

Jama’at-ud-Da’awa officials denied any links with the banned terrorist group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) at a press briefing at their centre in Muridke, 30km from Lahore, on December 4, Dawn reported. Abdullah Muntazir, deputy spokesman for the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa, told reporters gathered at the 75-acre complex that they wanted to refute ‘propaganda’ against them and clear their names in front of the national and international press. Yahya Mujahid, a spokesman of the group, said that although the group offered its philosophical support to militants in Kashmir, they condemned the Mumbai attacks. He added that neither the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa nor the LeT were involved in the attacks. On the status of the group’s leader, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, Muntazir stated that the government of Pakistan was "not yet so weak that it would hand over its own citizens to India."

Security forces arrested an alleged mastermind of the Mumbai terrorist attacks during a raid on a militant camp, two officials said on December 8, The News reported. Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi was among at least 15 people detained on December 7 after the raid on the camp run by the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), the officials said. "Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is under arrest. He was an operational commander of the Lashkar-e-Toiba," a senior security official told AFP. Troops backed by a helicopter overran the camp close to Muzaffarabad, the PoK capital, briefly exchanging fire with militants there, a senior intelligence official said. He said more than 12 detainees were being questioned over any possible links to the multiple terrorist in Mumbai.

Security forces have launched a ‘quiet’ crackdown on activists belonging to the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT, also known as Jama’at-ud-Da’awa) in different parts of the country and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), Dawn reported. In Muzaffarabad, capital of the PoK, a major army operation was under way in the city suburbs on December 7 against a site being used by the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa, which is headed by Hafiz Mohammad Saeed. Sources said that more than 20 members of the banned organisation and LeT ‘commander’ Zakiur Rehman Lakhwi had been arrested. There are reports that similar action is planned in some cities and towns of Punjab province. However, reports of the crackdown could not be confirmed from the interior ministry or the Inter-Services Public Relations. Local residents in Muzaffarabad, however, said they had seen army personnel taking control of the area along Shawai Nullah, some five kilometers northwest of Muzaffarabad, where the organisation possesses a large plot of land on which several buildings had been built. There were unconfirmed reports of an exchange of fire. In Chehla Bandi, soldiers are reported to be checking vehicles bound for the Neelum Valley. However, a Jama’at-ud-Da’awa office-bearer denied that a crackdown had been launched on his organisation in other areas.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said that the Pakistani establishment has had historic ties with the LeT, Dawn reported. In an interview to CNN on December 7, Rice read out a charge-sheet against the LeT, spelling out the reasons for taking action against the group which, she said, was not only involved in the Mumbai attacks but also moved in "the same circles" as al Qaeda. "Well, there have been historic ties. There’s no doubt about that," said Rice when asked if LeT leaders were trained and supported by Pakistani intelligence agencies.

Security agencies investigating the multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai said on December 9 that payments for a voice-over-Internet protocol (VOIP) service used by the terrorists were made from Karachi, reports The Hindu. Investigators have found that an unidentified individual using false identification papers, made a payment of $ 290 to the VOIP service (Vox Phone) through an office of the Western Union money-transfer in Karachi. The Mumbai Police intercepted calls made by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists who attacked Mumbai to two VOIP numbers from six Indian mobile phone numbers. The e-mail, which said the attack was intended to avenge atrocities on Muslims in India, was reportedly generated on Hindi language voice-recognition software and sent to Indian newsrooms from a Lahore-based server.

The crackdown by the Pakistani Security Forces on the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which has been linked to the Mumbai terrorist attacks, will not cripple the banned organisation, a co-ordinator of the militant group has said, The Hindu reported. "We’re still well-organised and active," an unnamed LeT coordinator told The Washington Times. Speaking in a safe house near Lahore the paper said the militant put the organisation’s strength in the "thousands" in Pakistan. He said the group has "huge strength" and is concentrated in Pakistan’s tribal areas on the border with Afghanistan. It should not be surprising that Mohammad Ajmal Amir ‘Kasab,’ the LeT terrorist captured in India, is not a recognisable name because those who join his group are given other names, the coordinator said. "All those who join these organisations are given Arabic names," he said. "Sometimes to make them less conspicuous they’re given non-Arabic but purely Muslim names," as also in the fact that names are changed every six to eight months for the fighters. He denied that the group had to purchase recruits.

A United Nations (UN) Security Council panel declared on December 10 that Jama’at-ud-Da’awa, a Pakistan-based charity, is a front group for Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the terrorist group accused of orchestrating last month's attacks that killed 195 persons in Mumbai. AP reported that the panel said Jama’at-ud-Da’awa is a front for the LeT and now subject to UN sanctions on terrorist organizations. The panel also designated four men linked to the Mumbai attacks as terrorists subject to sanctions, The News reported. The four men are believed to hold leadership positions in the LeT. Designated as terrorists subject to UN sanctions were LeT chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, ‘operations commander’ Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Haji Muhammad Ashraf, its chief of finance; and Mahmoud Mohammad Ahmed Bahaziq, a financier with the group. The Security Council's al Qaeda and Taliban sanctions committee added them to its list of terrorists subject to the assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo under a council resolution adopted this year. The U.S. Treasury Department last week designated the men as terrorists and ordered any U.S. assets frozen. India had pressed the Security Council for sanctions against Jama’at-ud-Da’awa on December 9, contending along with the U.S. that it is a front for the Lashkar. Since 2005, the sanctions committee has considered the LeT to be a terrorist group affiliated with al Qaeda. The United States and European Union also have sanctioned the group. Meanwhile, Saeed continued to deny links with the LeT. "No Lashkar-e-Toiba man is in Jama’at-ud-Da’awa and I have never been a chief of Lashkar-e-Toiba," he told Geo Television on December 10. The UN sanctions panel also described a number of trusts and foundations as aliases for the al-Rashid and al-Akhtar trusts, which have raised funds for Lashkar. According to the panel, the al-Rashid Trust can be equated with the al-Amin Welfare Trust, al-Amin Trust, al-Ameen Trust and al-Madina Trust. The al-Akhtar Trust aliases, the panel said, are Pakistan Relief Foundation, Azmat-e-Pakistan Trust and Azmat Pakistan Trust.

The interrogation of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman, the only terrorist arrested during the Mumbai multiple terrorist attacks, has named those who trained the terrorists, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), Rakesh Maria, told journalists on December 10, reports The Hindu. While Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi, Abu Hamza, Kahfa and Hafiz Saeed were among the trainers, the Police is still verifying the details of others, Maria added, saying, the names of the chieftains were yet to be identified. He also said the training was imparted under the Lashkar banner and Ajmal was "quite clear that it [the attack] was a Lashkar operation." Ajmal has delineated specific roles played by the four. Lakhvi planned the whole operation and even "bid farewell to the 10 terrorists before they left Karachi for Mumbai on November 22." The ship al-Hussaini, which carried the terrorists for some 12 nautical miles before they hijacked the trawler Kuber to come to the Mumbai coast, belonged to Lakhvi who was present during the training. Hamza, involved in the 2005 terrorist attack on the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, imparted "advanced training" in weapons and hand grenades, and maritime training. Hafiz provided moral support and "he spoke to them and motivated them". The fourth trainer "Kahfa was with the group right through the training." He was the "course coordinator" and "shepherded" the attackers. The three-month training was conducted somewhere in Azizabad in Karachi, informed Maria. Kahfa and Hamza showed photos of various target locations to the attackers during the training.

Authorities in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) have released four detained workers of the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) and have also withdrawn Police guards from the residence of the group’s regional head, Dawn reported. Chaudhry Imtiaz, Deputy Commissioner of Muzaffarabad, the PoK capital, told Dawn on December 14 that Police guards had been removed from the residence of Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi but he had been asked not to leave the area without informing the administration.

"He had been placed under house arrest for security reasons. He is still under surveillance and cannot leave the station without prior intimation to the authorities concerned," the Deputy Commissioner (DC) said.

On December 14, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown blamed the outlawed Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) for the Mumbai terrorist attacks, according to Dawn. While stating that “It is now time for action, not words,” he offered help to Pakistan and India in investigating the Mumbai attacks. Addressing a press conference at the President’s House in Islamabad after talks with President Asif Ali Zardari, he urged Pakistan to provide British investigators access to people detained during a crackdown on Jama’at-ud-Da’awa, including its chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed. Brown had said that British Police wanted to question the suspects because at least three UK nationals were among the people killed in Mumbai. Proposing a new British-Pakistan pact against terror, Brown said: “Three-quarters of most serious terrorist plots investigated by British authorities have links to al Qaeda in Pakistan.” Announcing a grant of £6 million for upgrading security apparatus, he said: “We have asked Pakistan to utilise this money for the purchase of car bomb detectors and scanners and training of the bomb disposal squads, airport security, counter-terrorism measures and improvement of police and forensics capabilities.”

According to Daily Times, rejecting Indian claims yet again that there is ‘clear evidence’ suggesting the Mumbai terror attacks originated inside Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday told BBC there is still no conclusive proof. Zardari has earlier pointed out several times that there is still no firm proof that gunmen who attacked Mumbai came from Pakistan. Zardari told BBC in Islamabad that Pakistan was prepared to act if adequate evidence of any Pakistani complicity in the attacks emerged. “If that stage comes, and when it comes, I assure you that our parliament, our democracy shall take the action properly deemed in our constitution and in our law,” he said. Zardari stated claims that the sole surviving attacker had been identified by his father as coming from Pakistan had also not been proven. The president also said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) Hafiz Mohammed Saeed would remain under house arrest. “Let me assure you that if there is any investigation to be found pointing towards his involvement in any form of terrorism, he shall be tried for that reason,” said Zardari.

On December 23, the United States of America reportedly endorsed the evidence gathered by Indian agencies about the Involvement of Pakistan's state actors in the multiple terrorist attack in Mumbai, reports Times of India. Top US intelligence official John Michel McConell is learnt to have expressed complete satisfaction with the strength of India's case against Pakistan based on Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) examination of call records of satellite and cellular phones used by Mumbai attackers and their Pakistan-based handlers. McConell confirmed that one of the numbers logged on the satellite phone, the terrorists used while navigating their way to Mumbai belonged to a known Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist identified as Abu Al Qama. The FBI is mandated to take the probe to the logical culmination, which will include charging the names of LeT leaders and their collaborators in Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence, that come up in the probe.

The Punjab Government has appointed administrators in 10 selected schools of the banned outfit Jama’at-ud-Da’awa after intelligence agencies reported that these institutions were promoting extremism, according to The News. As many as 26 educational institutions of the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) are operating in various parts of the province but the Government has appointed administrators in only 10 selected schools. Sources revealed that following a ban imposed on the JuD, intelligence agencies informed the Government that 10 JuD educational institutions in various parts of Punjab were promoting extremism. "Special lectures promoting Jihad are delivered to students, especially at the time of assembly," sources quoting intelligence reports said. A senior official of the School Education Department said the move was aimed at resumption of academic activities at the JuD-run institutions, especially in view of the upcoming matriculation annual examinations. He said teachers would not be replaced and they would continue to teach at these institutions. Abdullah Muntazir, a JuD spokesman, claimed the organisation had always worked within the law, adding discipline had been the top priority at their schools.
