🔔 Perspectives on Counterterrorism: Lessons from the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India! The terrorists attacks carried out by Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), exposed critical vulnerabilities in India’s security apparatus and prompted the government to initiate comprehensive #counterterrorism reforms to address these shortcomings and enhance national security. As global aftermath Lashkar-e-Tayyiba was listed on 2 May 2005 pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 of resolution 1526 (2004) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden or the Taliban into 🇺🇳United Nations Security Council Consolidated List. In India 🇮🇳the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was established in 2009, intelligence-sharing was streamlined, and coastal security was enhanced with radars, sensors, and marine police. Rapid response capabilities improved through decentralized National Security Guard hubs, while urban centers adopted CCTV #surveillance and facial recognition. Furthemore, legal measures like the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act - UAPA amendment in 2008 empowered authorities to target individuals linked to #terrorism.The 2019 amendment permitted the designation of individuals as terrorists, a step intended to prevent the formation of new terrorist groups. However, the UAPA in India has faced criticism for its impact on human rights. Concerns include broad definitions of terrorism, prolonged detention without trial (up to 180 days), the reversal of “innocent until proven guilty,” and the ability to designate individuals as terrorists without judicial oversight. Critics argue that the act is sometimes misused to suppress dissent, with low conviction rates indicating potential misuse. #studies #security #history #terrorism #India

As the focus of Pak-based terrorist organisations shifts to the south of Pir Panjal in recent weeks, the surging terror violence threatens to undo the gains made by India post-August 2019 in Jammu and Kashmir. In our latest commentary for ORF, Ayjaz wani PhD and I evaluate this shift and outline the steps that the security establishment must take to contain this bout of violence. https://lnkd.in/dWJqeQD4

India has an intricate network of intelligence agencies, safeguarding the nation both internally and externally. Each intelligence agency has a distinct role and responsibility. Intelligence Bureau is the oldest Indian intelligence agency established in 1887, operating under the Home Ministry of India. From the success of Operation Smiling Buddha of the Research and Analysis Wing to the counter insurgency and counter terrorism operations of Intelligence Bureau and NIA, and the investigation of criminal offences by CBI, their prowess can be highlighted through their capabilities, successes, and contributions to national security. The dexterity of India's intelligence agencies lies in their ability to adapt to evolving security challenges, leverage advanced technologies, and maintain robust coordination mechanisms to protect national interests. #intelligence #agencies #india #technology #security 

Terror accidents in Bharat have decreased by 70% since 2014. Bharat’s commitment to eradicating terrorism has reached new heights under PM Narendra Modi's leadership. Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently emphasised this at the anti-terrorism conference, talking about the robust results of the government's zero-tolerance policy. Since 2014, terror incidents have decreased by 70%, and the operational lifespan of terrorists has been drastically cut from years to mere days. Key legislative amendments to the NIA Act and UAPA have fortified Bharat’s legal framework, enabling the NIA to investigate cases internationally and seize assets linked to terror activities. With a conviction rate of nearly 95% out of 632 cases, the effectiveness of this strategy is evident. Amit Shah’s vision for a coordinated and fortified security network reflects Bharat’s resolve: no longer does the nation take threats lying down. Today, Bharat’s proactive stance and strategic policies are redefining national security and ensuring peace for generations to come.

TORONTO 18 Today's date will be forever etched in my memory, as I was one of a cast of many to work on one of the largest and most successful counter-terrorism investigations in our nation's history. On this date in 2006, the RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) foiled a large-scale terrorist plot, Project OSAGE, also known as Toronto 18. If not for the actions of the RCMP and its many policing and intelligence partners, including two civilian agents, many innocent lives would have been lost in a series of bloody attacks. If not for the intervention of those who thwarted this terror plot, June 2, 2006, would have become a solemn day of commemoration; fortunately, good triumphed over evil on that day. Toronto 18 final tally: Eighteen individuals were charged. Of the 18, eleven were convicted, seven had their charges stayed, and thousands of lives were saved. All of this is a reminder that as a country, we should never underestimate or ignore that Canada is constantly under threat by a wide variety of national security threats that include, but are not limited to: terrorism, terror financing, espionage/sabotage, unlawful release of sensitive or classified information, and last but not least, foreign influence campaigns.

As per official sources, the strategy evolved, during the first meeting chaired by Gen Dwivedi at PHQ Jammu, was three-pronged – effective plugging of infiltration routes bringing it (infiltration) to zero level; removal of operational flaws with perfect synergy among all security agencies and result-oriented counter-terrorism operations to wipe out terrorists and their eco-system in J&K. This will tantamount to "mowing the grass" and target hardening; enduring security can be achieved only if the terrorist infrastructure is dismantled across the border. Else, like cancer, it may relapse! https://lnkd.in/dwp5izjT

France has raised its national terror threat level to 'Attack Emergency', the highest level, in response to Islamic State claiming responsibility for a recent terror attack in Moscow and ongoing threats to the country. This decision comes after a previous reduction in the threat level in January 2024. The country had previously raised the threat level to 'Attack Emergency' in late October 2023, prompted by multiple incidents, including a stabbing in Paris and two foiled plots linked to developments in the Middle East. With the upcoming 2024 Olympics, France was already planning a comprehensive security strategy, including robust counter-terrorism measures. We expect increased policing and security presence in public areas, especially transport hubs and crowded venues. The global terror threat remains high, with recent incidents and increased terrorist propaganda advocating for attacks. Businesses should be prepared for potential impacts, including on staff, premises, and customers. It's crucial for organizations to review and maintain their security plans, stay vigilant, and report any suspicious activities to authorities promptly. #GlobalSecurity #TerrorLevel #ThreatLevel #NationalSecurity #Interr
