Chief Minister Narendra Modi, LeT member Shafiq Khafa Posted: Mon Dec 06 2010,

Discussions to carry out the attack on Narendra Modi took place between Pak
handlers and Indian members in June last year, reports released by WikiLeaks
have revealed.
Barely six months after it carried out the Mumbai 26/11 attack, terrorist
organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba plotted to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi.
Discussions to carry out the attack took place between Pakistani handlers and
Indian members in June last year, intelligence reports released by WikiLeaks
have revealed.
The terror organisation had charted out three major tasks in India just six
months after 26/11 — the assassination plot; setting up of terror camps in South
India; and selection of more terror targets.
Another task pertained to some work involving a car but details were not shared
in the leaked diplomatic cable.It also reveals that a "facilitation team" of the
LeT has been set up in Sri Lanka.
The cable reveals that the US was in possession of intelligence that terror
attacks on India were being actively planned in Pakistan by LeT members who were
controlling cells in India.

Godwww.Y-Jesus.com/JesuThe agent in Pakistan being tracked was one Shafiq Khafa
who was, according to the inputs, also coordinating LeT operations in Nepal, Sri
Lanka and Nepal.
"LeT member Shafiq Khafa (Pak based) possibly preparing for operations. Hussein,
an India-based LeT member, continued operational planning on three tasks in
early June.
The tasks were associated with a possible operation against Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi, the establishment of a training camp, and unspecified
work involving a car," the cable reads.
It goes on to say that Hussein would coordinate his activities with another
India-based colleague who has been identified as Sameer. Another separate
intelligence input suggested that Khafa was plotting attacks along with an
Indian associate identified as "S J".
"Pakistan-based Shafiq Khafa prepared in mid-June with India-based associate S J
for possible operations in India," the cable reads.
In addition, the US intelligence reports say that Khafa was looking for training
sites for LeT operations in Southern India.
"Khafa was looking for information on possible training sites in the Indian
states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala," the cable reads.
The intelligence report says that LeT cells were "engaged in surveillance
activities" of potential targets, including those in southern India.
More worryingly, the report indicates that a "facilitation team" of the LeT has
been established in Sri Lanka and would look at entry routes to India from
there. Early-May reporting further suggests Kerala or Tamil Nadu may be used as
a base of operations following the establishment of a facilitation team in Sri
Lanka, with the estimated time needed for setting up the facilitation route and
camps put at two to three months.
Besides the Sri Lankan camp, the intelligence report says that the LeT is
working to get two teams functional in southern India with the help of the
Lashkar's network in neighbouring countries.
"Khafa's network is striving to stand up two teams in southern India that rely
on the support of LeT (Lashkar) members based in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and
Nepal. Although specific details of planned LeT attacks remain unknown, late-May
intelligence indicates Khafa's cells were engaged in surveillance activities of
potential targets, likely in southern India," the report says.
