Pak national detained in Rameshwaram ahead of PM's visit

I have said this before and I will say it again. Coast guard is extremely lax when it comes to the coast of TN.

For years, TN fishermen have been picked up by SL Navy. The fishermen almost always run into patrols from SL Navy but almost never run into ours. What does that say?

Rameshwaram is the home of a very important Hindu shrine and is in extremely close proximity to SL and this corridor isn't being monitored enough. It's a very dangerous proposition and I don't think the Coast guard is doing enough at all. Heck if Indian fishermen run into SL patrols (bypassing our nonexistent ones) how hard can it be for an agent to cross into India from mannar island in SL? Ramanathaswamy temple is less than 50km from SL

India 3rd largest terror target after Iraq and Afghanistan: US report

• 
  
  
  • India has displaced Pakistan on a list of countries facing terror attacks in 2016
  • According to the report, out of 11,072 terror attacks in 2016 worldwide, India bore the brunt of 927
  • The US analysis labelled Naxals as the third most deadly terror organisation in the world after IS and Taliban

The Modi government has decided not to seek a political outreach and concentrate on intensive security operations.

NEW DELHI: India has displaced Pakistan on a list of countries facing terror attacks in 2016, with higher fatalities and injuries than its restive neighbour+ , according to data compiled by the US state department.

The data, analysed by a national consortium for the study of terrorism and responses to terrorism+ , contracted with the US state department, reveals India is third after Iraq and Afghanistan in terms of terror attacks. Pakistan had held the position earlier.

Out of 11,072 terror attacks in 2016 worldwide, India bore the brunt of 927, 16% more than 2015 (798). The number of deaths in India also rose 17% from 289 in 2015 to 337 last year while the number of injured increased from 500 in 2015 to 636 last year. On the other hand, the number of terror attacks in Pakistan reduced by 27% to 734 in 2016 from 1,010 in 2015.

However, a crucial difference needs to be noted while comparing India and Pakistan and the incidence of terror.

Pakistan is largely the victim of terrorist groups it has harboured and raised since the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and its extremist seminaries attract terror recruits from around the world. India, on the other hand, has to deal with terror groups operating from safe havens in Pakistan+ and a clear upsurge in attacks in Jammu & Kashmir directed from across the border in 2016.

Interestingly, the US analysis has labelled Naxals the third most deadly terror organisation in the world after IS and Taliban, even ahead of Boko Haram. The CPI (Maoist) was behind 336 terror attacks last year in which 174 people were killed and 141 were injured. More than half of the terror attacks in India in 2016 took place in four states - J&K, Chhattisgarh, Manipur and Jharkhand. The geographical areas show that left-wing extremism led by Maoists also contributed to terror incidents in parts of east India.

Jammu & Kashmir saw a surge of 93% in terror attacks last year, the data says. The Indian home ministry's annual report 2016-17, however, reports a 54.81% increase in terror incidents in the state.

The Modi government has taken a "tough line" against terrorism. The government has decided not to seek a political outreach and concentrate on intensive security operations, going by the assessment that negotiations will signal weakness rather than accommodation.

According to the NCSTRT data, total number of people kidnapped or taken hostage in terrorist attacks in India has, however, reduced 63% from 866 in 2015 to 317 in 2016. On average, terrorist attacks in India caused 0.4 total deaths per attack in 2016, compared to 2.4 deaths per attack worldwide. Nearly three quarters of attacks (73%) in India in 2016 were non-lethal.
The deadliest terror attack in India last year was in July 2016 when Naxals attacked CRPF men in Bihar in which 16 people, including assailants, were killed.



The US report said that "nearly two third of terror attacks in India were carried by Naxals" US says that compared to other countries that experienced most terror attacks in 2016, the diversity of perpetrator groups was much greater in India, with 52 active groups. There were 45 terror groups listed by US in its 2015 report. The US has identified 334 groups and organisations behind terror attacks in 2016 worldwide, while there were 288 such groups active in 2015.

It says that number of total attacks worldwide in 2016 reduced by 9% (11,072) against 12,121 in 2015 and total deaths worldwide also reduced by 13% in 2016 (25,621) as compared to 2015 (29,424).




"This was largely due to fewer attacks and deaths in Afghanistan, Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan and Yemen," it said. Around 55% of all attacks took place in Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and the Philippines out of 104 affected countries, while 75% of all deaths due to terror attacks occurred in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Nigeria and Pakistan.

That's quite a way to rub salt into our wounds.

India is a victim of US sponsored terror. All the bullets fired at our troops, and all the GPS kits carried by the LeT BATs are manufactured in USA. Now, the US can claim that they can't keep track of guns and bullets, but a GPS is tracked by default. All satellite signals of the GPS are processed through its parent satellite which the US intel can see.

The Naxals are also supported by Protestant church from US and Germany. Germany had banned the sale of H&K MP5 to India for 'human rights abuses' against Naxals.

 

[Syed Mahmud]

Germany had banned the sale of H&K MP5 to India for 'human rights abuses' against Naxals.

Pakistan seems to have gotten permission to manufacture and sell the MP5. That is absurd.

 

[gekko]

Pakistan seems to have gotten permission to manufacture and sell the MP5. That is absurd.

Even if they didn't have the licence they manufacture it in their backyard. In fact, getting a licence means that they have to pay royalty fees to the licence giver. Building it without licence means they get 100% profits.


You can get anything manufactured here, with custom woodwork, design etc. Everything from M4 carbine to antique German Luger pistol.

Here they are making the MP5. It costs 2k Indian rupees to make and sold at 3.5k Indian rupees.

That's not absurd. It makes perfect sense. Even Germany has good terrorists bad terrorists classification. We are gonna have to stop seeing Germany as a country that is a Friend of ours and start lookin at it as a country with its own agenda and vested interests. They love the Naxals. Baluchis and Pashtuns can rot in hell for all they care. They are of no use to the German narrative and agenda.

Not to mention they have a jaw dropping in house gun making industry around Khyber. Pakis wouldn't want German approvals anyway.

Ah yeah the Khyber. Pakistanis have successfully adopted the brain washing model of the Britishers and convinced the Pashtuns that they are the one true martial race of Pakistan. That province has special gun laws and Pashtuns are encouraged to carry guns as well as supply foot soldiers for the Pakistani Army and jihad in Kashmir and Afghanistan. Of course they don't hesitate to kill them when it is required like Zarb e Azb.

Some part of it is indigenous Pashtun culture as well. It's a status symbol to them, like a pagdi is to us Indians. They're up for hire, so we can go shopping in their Walmart as well. One fighter costs a salary of 20k/pm, and suicide bomber costs 3L payment to the family of the bomber paid in advance. Quite the 'Human Resource' economy in Pakistan. These groups even post annual report cards like a company declaring profits. X bombings, Y killings, etc. And one can hire them based on their performance chart.

That is why Doval says "ISI gives them X, I will give them 1.5 X, they are on our side".

Local intelligence spurs J&K anti-terror operations

Local intelligence spurs J&K anti-terror operations
TNN | Jul 24, 2017, 03.16 AM IST

NEW DELHI: The Mehbooba Mufti government is aiding the fight against terrorism with stronger ground intelligence and the participation of J&K police, improving the success ratios of anti-terror operations in the state.

Intelligence largely generated by J&K police, and improved coordination among the state police, the CRPF and the Army in joint operations have emerged as key factors in the elimination of 95 terrorists till July 9 this year, senior sources in the government said. This figure is higher than that seen in the whole of 2012 and 2013.

The security forces have persevered to take live encounters to their logical end even in the face of local resistance, which is also being tackled more systematically, with a core of stonepelters being identified through technical surveillance.

The results on the ground, said sources, indicated that the perceived hesitation of PDP in acting against troublemakers in its pockets of districts of its political influence is no longer a hurdle.

Agencies are optimistic that the figure of 150 terrorists neutralised in J&K in 2016 may well be breached this year as operations remain in high gear, helped by a political dispensation at the Centre and in the state that is willing to give counter-terror forces a free hand in all lawful actions to tackle terrorism.

The incidence of terror-related violence in J&K is high, with 172 incidents recorded until July 9 (see graphic), but senior security officials said this is largely due to terrorists being engaged in encounters almost on a daily basis.

"Motivational levels are higher, intelligence is more pinpointed as it is coming largely from the local network of state police, and response of forces like the CRPF is quicker..." said a senior official in the central security establishment.

Coordination among J&K police, the CRPF and the Army, which undertake joint counter-terror operations, is better as not only are their local commanders discussing intelligence inputs on a daily basis, but the CRPF and J&K quick reaction teams have also been training together for 5-6 months, an officer pointed out.

These terrorist rats have gone back to hide in the woodwork like cowards!! And that turd Salauddin said a few days ago that the blood of Indian security forces will flow like rivers in Kashmir due to Allah's 'Freedom Fighters'! Lol!

A pussy in a gang of wolves always thinks it is a wolf and tries to growl like them. Then a Tiger comes along and mauls a few wolves, others wolves run away. The pussy is left alone and realises what it is in reality.

This is the same scenario.

 

[indus]

It is well known that HVTs like Salahuddin, Talah Saeed etc occasionally visit terror camps near LoC. Since cross border raids have become common now an SF raid should be planned the next time these pigs make a visit. The pounding Army is giving to the Pakis is sure very hard, but it does not suffice to demoralise the pak army.. A HVT kill will demoralize the Paki state and terror networks by huge amounts. Any analysis welcome....

NIA arrests Naeem Khan, Bitta Karate in terror funding case
The investigative report, aired on May 16, had clinching evidence of Pakistan's state and non-state actors, including Hafiz Saeed, choreographing anarchy through their agents in the Kashmir Valley.


July 24, 2017

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today arrested Hurriyat leaders Naeem Khan, Bitta Karate among seven others in connection with Pakistan terror funding case exposed by the India Today a few days ago.

The Hurriyat leaders arrested are: Naeem Khan, Bitta Karate, Sahid-ul- Islam, Altaf Fantoss, son-in-law of Syed Ali Shah Geelani; Meharajudeen, Peer Saifullah and Ayaz Akbar.

The arrest of the separatist leaders come after the NIA conducted several rounds of interrogation following India Today's Operation Villains of Valley - The Hurriyat Tapes.

The investigative report, aired on May 16, had clinching evidence of Pakistan's state and non-state actors, including Hafiz Saeed, choreographing anarchy through their agents in the Kashmir Valley.


Several top Kashmiri separatists were caught on camera confessing to receiving funds from across the border.

Some of them also admitted they raised money domestically, pledging to repeat the deadly events of 2016 if financed again. The stunning probe that rips apart the devious designs of anti-India forces in Kashmir includes Hurriyat's Provincial President (Geelani Faction) Naeem Khan, Tehreek-E-Hurriyat's leader Gazi Javed Baba, and JKLF chairman Farooq Ahmed Dar (Bitta Karate).

The investigation traced the terror funding trail. Hurriyat leader Naeem Khan stealthily travelled down to Delhi to meet India Today reporters, who posed as potential funders.

He made startling disclosures on how Pakistan is funneling hundreds of crores to the Hurriyat to plunge Jammu and Kashmir into its worst unrest in decades.

[Flame Thrower]

When it comes to terror funding....

I believe that this arrests are more to create fear and to prove a point that no one is immune.

In terror funding pool...

To my assumption there are multiple angles like financial, political, religious (!?), Sympathisers, drugs (!?) and foreign.

IA is clipping one wing at a time.

Existing terrorists are being killed on daily basis.

Every foiled terror attack is an example of how IA is crushing foreign Terrorists.

We caught huge cache of drugs which play major role

https://www.google.co.in/amp/m.indi...-seized-in-major-loc-drug-bust/1/1008062.html

Political: There is open secret that both Kashmiri parties use Huriyat support. Arresting them sends strong message to both. Any support is only going to make things worse.

Arresting Huriyat and co prior to President swearing ceremony is to send message that good days are long gone. Behave or you will be obliterated.

Religious: Mosques play pivotal role in spreading venom... One strong dose is yet to be given.

Financial: Though suppliers are scared of this arrests, I am sure that financial support network will still function well below the normal conditions.

Good days are ahead

Knowing the Bharatiya legal system, these yahoos will be out on bail before you can say Jack! And it will take another 20 years or so to finally put them behind bars for waging war against the country. Meanwhile they'll continue doing what they were doing.

In other words, it will be back to square one before the week is out. Long live Indian democracy! In China they would have been put in front of a firing squad for treason and waging war against the country. In contrast, it's Hyderabadi biryani during their short sojourn in jail!!

I believe NIA will make a water tight case to not let that happen. Just see how ED is seizing properties of Lalu's daughter Misa. Even if they get bail their balls will be gradually squeezed and wings clipped. If Govt has taken the first step there is no reason to disbelieve it will not take the further steps...

Agreed to both points. But as someone has said earlier, @Flame Thrower if I'm not wrong, this arrest just the new President's swearing-in, drives a message about the possible new Kashmir strategy. Interesting times ahead.
