The killing of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has raised one primary question -- will India, which is one of the biggest victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, be able to undertake an operation of this magnitude and bring to justice the likes of Lashkar-e-Tayiba founder and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed and fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim?

 

Although the Al Qaeda has never been much of a concern for India, it's the Lashkar whose growth and reach is something to worry about.

Can India undertake such an attack?

 

Sahay: Without being Indo-Pak specific, any professional security outfit should be able to carry out such tasks. One would, of course, need accurate and actionable intelligence on all aspects of the target, an operationally fit and trained team of commandos, state-of-the-art logistic support, real-time electronic monitoring to update intelligence and a totally secure communication link between the command centre and the operational team. 

 

The list of course is not exhaustive. Great deal of careful planning and rehearsals under a near-identical scenario will facilitate a quick and surgical strike.

He's spent 15 years in various prisons. He's survived 12 assassination attempts in the past 20 years. He's undergone seven surgeries, including two for carcinoma at Mumbai's Tata Memorial Hospital. At 81, Syed Ali Shah Geelani has finally achieved a dream, leadership of the anti-Indian sentiment in the Kashmir Valley. This time, the chairman of the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat and long-time member of the Jamaat-e-Islami is in no mood to walk off quietly. A bit to his surprise, "radical" fringe stars like Arundhati Roy are prepared to support his demand for secession.

After four months of lockdown, 111 deaths of young men and women, 1,025 arrested and 3,500 injured, Geelani believes he is on the verge of pulling off a miracle - an Islamic state in Kashmir. This may be a dream too far, but it has been the principal focus of his life since he joined the Jamaat-e-Islami in 1953. He was a government teacher then, after having spent four years in Lahore, between 1940 and 1944, studying the Quran and theology. He has not returned to Pakistan after 1944, though his elder son, 47-year-old Nayeem, has been living, and is being looked after, in Islamabad for the last 10 years.

The curious fact is that the man who wants to destroy India's unity, who hates the idea of a secular India, should get, then accept, financial aid from the governments of Delhi and Srinagar. There are whispers of cash being passed from intelligence secret funds. But what cannot be denied is that his surgeries have been paid for by the government, and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed even sent a special plane to pick him up from Ranchi jail where he was then lodged.

Which is deadlier -- the Al Qaeda or the Lashkar-e-Tayiba? Post 9/11, the Al Qeda was considered to be the most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world. However, today, things have changed and it is official that the Lashkar is the deadliest terrorist organisation in the world.

Indian intelligence agencies told rediff.com that the Lashkar was growing in terms of funds and manpower, and today the Al Qaeda is living of the Lashkar. Intelligence Bureau sources say that the Inter Services Intelligence has played a major role in the growth of the Lashkar ever since the United States of America decided to wage a war against Al Qaeda.

Two Sikhs who were kidnapped for ransom were found beheaded by the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistan's restive tribal belt in yet another brutal act by the militants.

Some more members of the minority community are still in the custody of the rebels. The body of Jaspal Singh was found in the Khyber tribal region, located a short distance from the provincial capital of Peshawar, while the body of Mahal Singh was found in the Aurakzai Agency, sources told PTI on Satrurday night.

Lashkar funded Mumbai attacks with fake currency

Some of the money used to finance the terror attacks in Mumbai last November and the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru in December 2005 came via a fake currency racket, sources from the Intelligence Bureau and Central Bureau of Investigation have revealed.

Operatives in Dubai and Pakistan, backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, used fake currency to fund terror operations on Indian soil.

Some years ago, when General Pervez Musharraf, the blue-eyed warrior against terrorism of the then United States President George W Bush, was the President of Pakistan, its police had arrested an individual on the charge of belonging to the Al Qaeda.

When he was produced before an anti-terrorism court, it asked the government lawyer to produce a copy of the notification under which Al Qaeda had been declared a terrorist organisation. After some days, the lawyer went back to the court and told it sheepishly that the government had overlooked declaring Al Qaeda a terrorist organisation.

Bruce Riedel, senior National Security Council official in the Clinton Administration, who spearheaded President Obama's strategic review on Afghanistan and Pakistan, told rediff.com that for all the Pakistani leadership assurances that the ISI has severed its links with terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and the Taliban, the ISI's association with them is as entrenched as ever.

In an interaction that followed his remarks and that of other experts at a discussion on Afghanistan and Pakistan: A Status Report, organized by The Brookings Institution, Riedel said change is "not going to come overnight," and pointed to the recent release of  LeT leader Hafiz Mohammed Saeed as a tangible manifestation of these entrenched links.

Riedel, currently a Senior Fellow at Brookings, said, "This relationship is built over 30 years," with these groups "and is not going to be resolved overnight."

"First of all, many Pakistanis don't believe we'll be there," in the region over the long-term. "They believe we're going to cut and run, whether it is three years from now or four years from now." Thus, Riedel said, these so-called strategic assets for Islamabad's efforts to maintain a strategic depth against India in Afghanistan and to fight its proxy war in Kashmir would continue to be a kind of insurance policy in the event of a US withdrawal and a diminution of massive assistance as has been the experience of the past. "Changing that calculation will be critical," he said, if the US is to succeed in persuading Pakistan to "change their policies," towards these groups. But Riedel acknowledged that "the hard part right now," was to convince Pakistan to sever its links with these groups because the ISI evidently believe that these associations will pay off in the long run.

Terror training schools, teaching hundreds of new and young recruits in suicide missions and the use of sophisticated weapons, have been active in many parts of Pakistan, including Punjab, the North West Frontier Province, Waziristan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

Different terrorist groups, including the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, often with the help of former Pakistan army soldiers, run these schools or camps. The syllabus, the training and indoctrination are far more sophisticated than the pre-9/11 training camps.
