As many as 65 terrorist modules have been busted in India in the last seven months, according to a senior official concerned with national security. However, the Government has reason to believe that many more "sleeper cells" have been "re-commissioned" and that the country needs to be vigilant against possible terror attacks, mostly being masterminded by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). In the post-Mumbai blast assessment, intelligence agencies believe that while foreign-based terror groups have managed to recruit some local support, the involvement of Indians is low. "None of the controllers is Indian," said the official. At the same time, the official assessment is that the involvement of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) is "clearly indicated."
