sum could be both. The Mumbai attack thread has details of the J&K inspector. However the SIM cards number was small. Now its 33 cards. So has to be a combination.

I think they should let RAW be there as a sponge to attract all the penetration attempts and build a new covert inelligence service. RAW and IB are totally penetrated and politicised.

Most of the open source/strategic intelligence can be handled by JIC and its secretariat. One needs covert capability for only a limited numberr of ops. And improve the area studies depts of the utys to provide a staedy stream of scholars to serve as back-up and contrarian view to JNU brigade.

J&K journalist visited Muridke acted as spy

Arrested journalist Farooq Ganaie, head of News Agency of Kashmir (NAK), was today sent to Joint Interrogation Centre (JIC) following sensational revelations made by him that he had even visited Murid Ke headquarters of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in July 2007.

Ganaie admitted that he used to save photographs and other sensitive information in his email ID. He had supplied his ID and password to the Field Intelligence Unit (FIU), an Intelligence wing of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The FIU used to download the information with the help of Ganaie’s password and then delete it from his email account.

Police have sought the help of BSNL to extract Call Detailed Record (CDR) of Ganaie’s mobile phone as he was reported to have received several phone calls from Pakistan including some from the FIU officials and other from the militant commanders. Western Union money transfer bank has also been approached by the police to ascertain exact amount received by Ganaie from the FIU through hawala from Spain and other countries since 2007.

Official sources said Ganaie has admitted during his sustained questioning by police that he had visited Murid Ke, the Lashkar headquarters in July 2007 during his media trip to Pakistan. From Murid Ke, Ganaie was taken to Sialkot where he was shown a training camp of LeT. He also inter-acted with some militants of Jammu and Kashmir in the training camp.

Uma Mishra was supposed to become head of China operations at RAW. He was a deputy director and a former station chief in Beijing for many years but his circle had been penetrated by Chinese intelligence. He was operating under the diplomatic cover of first secretary at the Indian embassy in Beijing. The chap was sleeping around and had 2 mistresses(his chinese interpretor and housekeeper) There was some sort of fight between the two and RAW got a little suspicious. Both turned out to be from 2 rival chinese intelligence agencies. (Double penetration ) For the last few weeks, he is under investigation for corruption. This guy was supposedly our top china watchers.

NTRO has set up listening stations in Arunachal. Yindu special forces have been doing some reconnaissance and other missions into China. The 30,000 men of mountain division will join up and work with these special forces. Chinese have also been sending their special forces into indian territory. Both sides are little worried that the 2 special forces troops may meet and cause a border clash of some sort. The chances are very high at the moment.

Rahul..please be careful ...big fellas after you

Wow..Shyam..thank you for sharing this

Hi Shyam Sir....Thanks a lot for this info.
Sir, Are you from IB or RAW ?? I mean how did you get this info about these listening stations ??

And sir, Is this appropriate to share this info in public forum ?? (Although I got excited after reading this but I don't know if it's appropriate to talk about this in public domain)

Finally what does Yindu mean & Yankees too ??


Thanks

Sunny,

Yindu=Hindu
Yankees= Americans

This should help you in future.

Cheers,
Venkat

Thanks alot Venkarl....That is really good.

He is a student just like most here. He specializes in looking for info of use here.

EDIT are expert in this honey-trap, and some of our spooky babus get trapped with honey all over .....
By the way, chinki pinkis have expanded their honey trap all over the mass-land, trapping some mid level scientists in wekk known schools. The process starts from school corridors to major conferences ....

Everything looks great except for the fact that they are being handed AK-47's which is not a precision tool required for this kind of job.

Also, although the article mentions LAPD's ARV it doesn't mention what kind of ARV our SWAT's will be using, if at all.

Indian intelligence team returns without quizzing Headley:

I wonder if they would have been allowed to use the 3rd degree, had they interrogated him.

Indian intelligence team returns without questioning US LeT man
And you think before boarding the flight, they might have requeted access to Headley and all the paperwork should be in order.. Either there is a cover up or this story is definately off the wire..More than what meets the eye...

Ulfa donors’ list drawn up
Guwahati, Nov. 11: Interrogators quizzing arrested Ulfa “finance secretary” Chitrabon Hazarika have begun drawing up a list of contributors to the outfit.

“Some of the names of companies they (the interrogators) have gleaned from Hazarika have come as a surprise,” a source close to the interrogators said, adding that more information was expected from the Ulfa leader.

Hazarika was arrested along with Ulfa’s “foreign secretary” Sasha Choudhury.

They were held in Tripura while trying to infiltrate into India from Bangladesh and were subsequently handed over to Assam police.

However, the Ulfa leadership claims that they were picked up from Bangladesh by unidentified persons and were handed over to the BSF along the border on November 1.

During the interrogation, it transpired that Hazarika had sufficient knowledge about Ulfa’s finances although the outfit’s commander-in-chief, Paresh Barua, and his deputy, Raju Barua, too, kept track.

Haziraka told interrogators that several companies operating in Assam were still paying to the Ulfa coffers.

“Most of these payments are made through hawala transactions,” a source said.

Unlike the Tata Tea episode where the company was dragged into a controversy for allegedly paying for the treatment of Ulfa leader Pranati Deka at a Mumbai hospital, there is no official document to nail any of these “big payers” to book them, the source said.

“As these payments were made through hawala transactions, there is no official document or proof yet to nail these companies,” the source said, adding that more investigation would be required to build up cases against them.

Hazarika said although Ulfa cadres operating in the state have been collecting funds for the organisation, these do not amount to much.

“Only small time businessmen, including local traders, are being served with extortion notices. The multinational companies are making payments directly to the leadership and these are done thorough hawala transactions,” the source said, quoting Hazarika.

The Ulfa “finance secretary” also told interrogators that a few surrendered militants were helping the outfit in its fund collection drives.

“A few surrendered militants have been acting as conduits of the banned outfit and striking deals with companies,” the source said.

Not only are these former militants paying one per cent of their income to the outfit’s coffers but also acting as negotiators between Ulfa and the big payers.

The revelations come amid reports that group of newly trained Ulfa cadres in Myanmar have been asked to enter Assam and launch attacks.

We didn’t let that stop the Amrikhans to interrogate Ajmal kassab did we!

pl dont euqate yourself with the amrikhans... we were begging them for providing tech help with investigations ... and other assistance... beggars cant be choosers !!

Manjgu, You should have put a to avoid being reported.
Folks nowadays are hypersensitive and report all sorts of imagined slurs. Must be mirroring seniors.

The housecleaners of embassies in China operate like an intelligence agency. Several foreign embassies in Beijing, and notably Japan, are complaining about constant intrusion by Chinese intelligence. The department operates like a private service company for embassies, providing cleaning, housing, car-parking and translation services, among others.

The Beijing Service Bureau for Diplomatic Missions (BSBDM) also manages a huge property portfolio and virtually all embassies that move to new addresses call on its services, as do embassies that want to renovate their premises.

Only the Americans and British have defied the Beijing Service Bureau for Diplomatic Missions, feeling that its employees are in a position to cram buildings full of sophisticated eavesdropping gear.

Now you know how RAW employees got into a spot of bother in Beijing.

Can anybody enlighten us to the quality of intellegence assets in Pakistan & Afganistan and Iran areas.Is it adaquate for current & future needs.And are we doing anything there.

Latest news feed on TV. 'A Pak spy arrested in IGI airport on Saturday. Confirmed by Home Secretary Pillai.'

Babu, welcome to BR. Do you seriously believe that such a question will ever be answered, even if anybody knows a thing or two ? We can however infer a few things at least in the case of TSP, like the recording of the conversation between Musharraf in China and his deputy Mohammed Aziz during Kargil time. Then, again, India giving clinching evidence to the US on money transfer to Mohammed Atta by ISI chief Mahmood Ahmed. Even earlier, Rajiv Gandhi briefed a startled Ms. BB, PM of TSP, on the progress made by their team of chors in the nuke weapon area. So, in terms of Pakistan we have traditionally had a good coverage. I amsure that we have had excellent contacts in Afghanistan too except for the Taliban interregnum.

Our agencies need to have psychologists recruited. They can help immensely in special operations. I suppose military intel can get access to psychologists. But I wonder if central agencies can. A lot of israaa-eeli operations take into the considerations psychologists opinions in almost every operation. Believe me they help big time.

somewhere down in pakibanistan, my fear is some group of terrorists planning for 2012 to become a real world event.
