Antony warns of airborne terror threats, calls for alert
NDTV ^ | 12.04.08 | Press Trust Of India (PTI)
Posted on December 3, 2008 10:42:41 PM PST by libh8er
With India’s coastal security already breached by terrorists in Mumbai, Defence Minister A K Antony on Wednesday warned the armed forces of possible terror attacks from airborne platforms similar to the 9/11 attacks in the US.
Antony asked them to be prepared to counter the threat of terrorists from the air and prevent a repeat of World Trade Centre-type of attacks carried out by the Al-Qaida. At a meeting with the three Services chief and Defence officials, Antony called for greater coordination among all security and intelligence agencies so as to make the intelligence inputs actionable. The meeting, attended by Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta, Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major and Army chief General Deepak Kapoor and Defence Secretary Vijay Singh, also reviewed the situation along the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan in the wake of reports that its army was on a “high alert” following the Mumbai terror attacks.
Antony, sources said, worked out measures with the armed forces for tightening security and vigil along the LoC to prevent infiltration of terrorists through the land route, as “Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is known to be an important area for recruitment and training of terrorists.” The top defence brass discussed plans for beefing up coastal security and hastening acquisition process for systems and platforms including coastal radars and interceptor boats.
Of particular concern expressed at the meeting was the intelligence warning that airports around the country could be targets of terrorists, forcing the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security to issue a red alert to secure all important airports, sources added. Reacting to the alert, Air Chief Marshal Fali H Major has said that India is ready for countering any unconventional air attack that may threaten its security. He was speaking at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate while paying homage to martyrs on the occasion of Navy Day on Thursday.

Travel Alert
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Bureau of Consular Affairs
This information is current as of today, Sat Dec 20 2008 03:31:16 GMT-0800 (PST).
INDIA
December 19, 2008
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens that there is a high threat of terrorism throughout India, and advises U.S. citizens traveling to or already in India to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness, especially during the end-of-year holidays until India’s Republic Day, January 26. This Travel Alert expires on January 31, 2009 and replaces that issued on December 4 to provide updated information regarding the security situation.
The November 26 terrorist attack in Mumbai was carried out at venues frequented by Americans. That attack killed 170 persons (including six Americans and 16 other non-Indians) and injured 300. Future attacks may also target public places frequented by Westerners, including in large cities and tourist areas. India press reports that the State government in Goa has warned against beach parties and large gatherings on beaches and “open spaces” between December 23 and January 5.
The U.S. Mission is concerned that increased political tension between Pakistan and India may further complicate travel in areas near their already-sensitive border. In addition, the Department of Defense has increased its security requirements for all its employees visiting India.
Because of the number and diversity of terror attacks in India during the past two years, Americans in India should be vigilant about security at all times. They should monitor local news, vary their routes and times, and consider the level of security when visiting public places, such as religious sites, hotels, restaurants, or entertainment and recreation venues. U.S. citizens should keep a low profile, avoid crowds and demonstrations, and maintain valid travel documents. Finally, travelers should plan on added time to account for increased security, especially at hotels and airports.
For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, and Travel Alerts can be found. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States and Canada or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). Americans are also encouraged to read the Country Specific Information for India, available on the Embassy’s website at http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov, and also at http://travel.state.gov.
U.S. citizens living or traveling abroad are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department’s travel registration web site at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/ so that they can obtain updated information on travel and security. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency. For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” found at http://travel.state.gov.

Several govt sites hacked
Excerpts from Pakistan Observer article.
Islamabad—Unidentified hackers on Friday hacked several Pakistan government sites including web sites and posted messages of their own.
The sites which were hacked included www.pak.gov.pk; www.infopak.gov.pk and www.pakistan.gov.pk. The FIA’s Cyber Crime Cell was unable to restore the hacked sites by Friday night by the time of our going to press.
The hackers which called themselves as “Pak Bugs” posted the following messages on the hacked web sites: “Happy Independence Day” and “We don’t need an intro, you guys already know us.”
The Pak Bugs group also remained engaged with Indian hackers in an India-Pakistan cyber-war soon after Mumbai and forced the Indians to reach an accord in November 2008 pledging not to hack each others’ sites. Soon after the Mumbai attack Indian hackers had hacked dozens of Pakistani sites and in response Pak Bugs hacked over three dozen Indian sites.

“Mumbai terror attacks: And then they came for the Jews”
SNIPPET: “One more question remains: how did the terrorists and their handlers apparently know the layout of Nariman House, and the schedule of its inhabitants, so well? Suspicion has fallen on Jackie, the Muslim cook. Since the siege, he says he has had about 100 interviews with police and officials, including Israelis. Solomon Sopher, a leader of the Mumbai Jewish community, says he thinks Jackie is suspected not of direct collusion with terrorists, but perhaps of unwittingly revealing information to scouts who struck up a friendship with him. Jackie denies this, and it is probable that if there were evidence against him, he would have been charged.”

“Headley ran visa agency in Tardeo before 26/11”
Josy Joseph / DNASunday, November 8, 2009 2:38 IST
SNIPPET: “New Delhi: The two terror suspects arrested in the US for plotting to strike targets in Denmark and India spent significant time in Mumbai before the 26/11 attacks, authoritative sources have told DNA. While one of them operated a visa agency in Mumbai for almost two years until the latter part of 2008, the other suspect spent 10 days in the city just days before the terror strike last November.”
SNIPPET: “According to available information, David Coleman Headley, the Pakistan-born US citizen and one of the two arrested, ran a visa facilitation agency in Mumbai between November 2006, and July 2008. The firm, named Immigrant Law Centre, was run from AC Market, Tardeo in Mumbai.
Officially, the firm was helping unskilled and semi-skilled people to get visas for the US and Canada.”

“Right now I am having kittens”
By Leah Farrall, Australia
SNIPPET: “Okay this article is about David Headley’s possible involvement with the Mumbai attacks, which is fascinating enough in itself. However, I am having kittens for another reason. When I saw his charge sheet and the mentions of senior LeT operatives known to the US, I straight away had a very good idea about who they were talking about because I lived and breathed LeT in my former work. The Willy Brigitte/ Faheem Lodhi case we had here blew open the doors on the LeT’s international network. Then there was the Virginia paintball crew and several jobs in the UK, all of which (including the Brigitte job) tied into each other via the same few LeT quartermasters and their controller, Sajid Mir and his superiors who head the LeT’s external/international wing.”
SNIPPET: “Oh two things. For those who go searching there are two Sajid Mir’s who show up, one is Professor Sajid Mir the Amir of Markaz Jamiat Ahlehadith in Pakistan, this is *not* LeT Sajid Mir.
Second, LeT recycles aliases too, so if you are searching and come across the name Muzamil Bhat for example, that gets recycled. And then, to add to the fun, it also gets confused in some reporting with Muzamil Bhai, which means Brother Muzamil.”

“U.S. jihadists’ stretches through Mumbai to Lahore”
Praveen Swami
“Men could be linked to covert transcontinental network led by Lashkar commander
Headley, police investigators say, visited Mumbai at least five times”
“Headley succeeded in obtaining a long-term business visa”
SNIPPET: “NEW DELHI: Less than a week before 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives executed at least 173 people in Mumbai last November, David Coleman Headley checked out of a nondescript guest house near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and caught a flight home.
His friends in the U.S., more likely than not, would have complimented him on his fortunate escape.
Now, there is mounting suspicion among the Mumbai Police investigators that Headley may have helped facilitate the Mumbai massacre by carrying out pre-attack reconnaissance in the city.
Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigations charged Headley — born Dawood Gilani in Pakistan — and his associate Tahawwur Husain Rana, with plotting terrorist attacks in Denmark and India. Headley, Mumbai Police investigators say, visited Mumbai at least five times between 2006 and 2009, claiming to work for the Immigration Law Centre — a concern run from Mumbai’s Tardeo area.
Mumbai Police investigators suspect the concern may have been used to secure passports and visas for Lashkar recruits to travel to Pakistan through west Asia. Because of his apparently western name, Headley had succeeded in obtaining a long-term business visa and faced no scrutiny from authorities.
Rana, a Pakistan-born Canadian national, also visited New Delhi and Mumbai in April, 2009 — possibly, investigators suspect, to liaise with operatives of a still-active Lashkar cell.
Transcontinental Network prosecutors in the U. S. have so far refused to publicly identify the Lashkar commanders who handled Headley and Rana.
But a credible Washington, D.C., based source familiar with the LeT has told The Hindu that one of two men held by authorities in Pakistan in connection with the arrests, at the FBI’s request, is Sajid Mir — a Lahore-based commander responsible for handling the jihadist organisation’s networks in Europe and the U.S.”
SNIPPET: “Fidayeen assault-squad
India’s intelligence services have long suspected Mir put together key elements of the Mumbai attack plan, like making payments for the voice-over-internet accounts used to communicate with the fidayeen assault-squad through Barcelona-based Lashkar covert operative Javed Iqbal.
Pakistani authorities have charged Sheikhupura resident Abdul Wajid with organising these transactions for the Lashkar under the code-name ‘Zarar Shah.’ However, Pakistan has refused to allow the FBI access to Wajid, raising suspicions that he may in fact be a relatively low-level operative.”
SNIPPET: “Other key Pakistan-based participants in the Mumbai attacks, like military commander Muzammil Bhat and the still-unidentified Abu al-Qama, are yet to be held.
It seems probable Mir’s U.S.-Europe networks had at least something to do with funding Headley’s operations. Documents filed by the FBI in a Chicago court show that although Headley claimed to represent an immigration firm, he had no ostensible source of income. None the less, he travelled abroad extensively.”

There have been a plethora of TV shows about the attack, most of the dealing with the captured cell phone conversations between the Muslim murderers and a psychotic “handler” in Pakistan.
None of the media accounts talk about the horrific torture that occurred.
It is almost as if we live in a parallel universe.
The MSM are complicit in evil.

“ISI involved in 2008 Mumbai attack”
By BILL ROGGIO
June 10, 2010 10:15 PM
SNIPPET: “Today’s report on the involvement of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence directorate in the 2008 terror assault on Mumbai wins this month’s coveted Captain Louis Renault Award. Once the Indians got hold of David Headley for interrogation, it was only a matter of time before that story was printed. Oh, and Lashkar-e-Taiba/Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed was also involved in the planning and execution of the Mumbai attack.”

“’ISI guided LeT at every step for 26/11’”
Diwakar & Vishwa Mohan, TNN, Jun 10, 2010, 02.40am IST
Tags:26/11|ISI|LeT|David Headley
“Headley spills beans on Indian contacts”
SNIPPET: “NEW DELHI: Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley has confirmed that Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists carried out the Mumbai attack under the “guidance” of Pakistan’s ISI.
Headley, who is being interrogated in the US by a team of NIA officials, has said that the notorious ISI was engaged with the Lashkar commanders responsible for the 26/11 carnage at “each and every stage of the plot”.
The account of the terrorist, who receed targets for Lashkar terrorists across the country, corroborates India’s stand about the involvement of Pakistani state actors in terrorism, trains the spotlight on LeT-ISI tandem, and explains Pakistan’s unwillingness to clamp down on the Lashkar leadership.
Headley has mentioned serving officers of Pakistan army — Major Sameer Ali, Major Iqbal and Major Haroon — as those who collaborated with the Lashkar terrorists. Major Sameer and Major Iqbal figured in the dossier India gave to Pakistani foreign secretary Salman Bashir.
NIA’s sessions with Headley tally with what he is learnt to have told the FBI, including the crucial bit about Hafiz Saeed being in the loop through the plot.”

SNIPPET: “Top Al Qaeda commander Ilyas Kashmiri poses a major threat to U.S. interests both at home and abroad. Described by intelligence agencies “as the most effective, dangerous and successful guerrilla leader in the world,” Kashmiri heads Al Qaeda’s military operations wing. He figures prominently in two recent high-profile terrorism indictments issued in Chicago.
But Kashmiri remains free in South Asia and in control of a renowned Al Qaeda terror cell called the 313 Brigade, in large part due to support from rogue elements tied to the Pakistani military and intelligence services.”

Interpol issues notice against 2 Pak Army majors in Mumbai attacks case
Times of India ^ | Oct 7, 2010 | Anon
Posted on October 7, 2010 1:02:32 PM PDT by Pharmboy
Interpol notice against 2 Pak Army majors in 26/11 case
NEW DELHI: National Investigation Agency (NIA) has secured an Interpol Red Corner Notice against five accused persons, including two serving Pakistani Army majors, for their alleged role in the Mumbai terror strike of 2008.
The Interpol issued the Red Corner Notice after securing a non-bailable warrant from the court Additional Sessions Judge here.
The warrants were issued on the basis of disclosures made by American national and Lashker-e-Taiba terrorist David Headley, who was extensively questioned by the NIA officials in June this year.
The Red Corner Notice has been issued against Major Sameer Ali, and Major Iqbal, both serving in the Pakistani Army, Illyas Kashmiri, an LeT terrorist, Sajid Majid and Syed Abdur Rehman Hashim.
The security agencies have already secured Red Corner notice against Lashker’s founder Hafeez Sayeed and his close aide Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi in connection with the 26/11 attacks that left over 160 people dead.
These people, according to NIA officials, had worked in close coordination with Headly in executing the nefarious plans of the Lashker for carrying out terror strikes in Mumbai.
