The move comes after investigations have revealed that Mohammad alias 'Burger,' who led the Parliament attack, was in constant touch with his counterparts in Pakistan as well as within India through email. A laptop has been recovered from the terrorists as well, the contents of which are under investigation. The IB earlier reported that terrorists connected to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish are tech-savvy. Till now, the IB had concentrated more on email IDs with reference to obvious giveaways such as Kashmir, Lashkar, Pakistan, Musharraf etc. For example, an email ID such as Lashkar@hotmail.com should be under the surveillance of the IB. The IB has now gone further and prepared a new list of keywords used in the copy of mails that will be intercepted. The system works like this: A software filters mails that repeatedly use the words that the IB has shortlisted. The more obvious keywords would include Jaish, Kashmir, Lashkar. Others are attack, kill, rocket. Mails with repeated reference to Arab names will also be under surveillance. Emails that carry names of Indian political leaders will also be under surveillance. However, the software can't decipher code words since they can be common words. Interestingly, the CIA is using the same software with a good success rate. "The task of monitoring such mails is humungous. Hence, for now, we will be monitoring mails that have several references to the keywords that we have identified," says a senior IB official. According to the official: "The IB is the only Indian intelligence Agency that has the ability to intercept mails. None of the other agencies involved in investigations—the Delhi Police, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)—have the ability to intercept mails. Only the CIA has similar capabilities." Commenting on the issue of invasion of privacy of an individual, the official said: "This exercise is similar to the secret cellphone tapping of suspects involved in hawala as well as cricket match-fixing, that was implemented by the Delhi Police. It met with a lot of success. The issue of intercepting mail is being done in the interest of national security." The official, however, also admitted that the exercise of intercepting mails will present a logistical nightmare given the huge mass of mails emanating from India.
