Indias last terror module shut down, but...Wednesday’s arrest of four terror suspects including that of SIMI mastermind Haider Ali signals the end of the road for organised terror modules in India, claims IB. But what’s worrying is that the Al Qaeda and Taliban are taking keen interest in the terror operations in India. At a Bhopal court, several SIMI members shouted slogans: Jai Taliban, ab Modi teri baari. In Kozhikode, posters giving a call for jihad were pasted on walls. Ansar Al-Tawheed fi Bilad Al-Hind (the supporters of monotheism in the land of India) made an appeal to the Al Qaeda and Taliban to come forward and protect Indian Muslims. At Gujarats Sabarmati jail there was yet another attempt to free SIMI head Safdar Nagori. A website being operated from Tokelau Island in New Zealand revealed a prison break plan to free operatives of the banned outfit. Last 15 days has seen some hectic activity among terror groups. Does this have anything to do with the fact that Narendra Modi, who tops the target list of these extremist organisations, is all set to take over as prime minister? Or are these just desperate moves by outfits as their leading men are trapped in the police net? Arrests of four terror suspects including that of Students Islamic Movement of India operative Haider Ali on Wednesday marked the end of the last organised terror module in the country. This has sent operatives in a tizzy and they are desperate to strike back, said investigators. Real intent is to re-build and terror operatives are using their ‘hatred’ towards Modi to unite like-minded radicals, they added. IB Said these are clear signs of desperation. “Wednesday’s arrests came as a deathly blow to the only active terror module operating in the country now. It all started with the arrests of Yasin Bhatkal and his aide Assadullah Akthar. Then came the arrests of Tehsin Akhtar and Waqas Ahmad, which forced the Indian Mujahideen to shut down another major module.” Arrests of Shakir Hussain, the Sri Lankan operative involved in attacked on an express train in Chennai on May 1, and his aide in Malaysia foiled a major plan by ISI trying to target India through the south, according to IB. Arrests of key terror operatives has comes as a set back to their outfits, but the threat is not over yet. “Pakistan’s ISI is keen to back homegrown terror outfits. Lashkar-e-Tayiba continues to remain active, but the attacks that they plan largely depend on what policy the Pakistan intelligence and military want to adopt,” an IB officer “Take the case of the 26/11 attack. The plan was given a go-ahead to keep the Lashkar engaged as many had threatened to quit and join the Taliban for the Afghanistan battle,” Deadliest IM and SIMI operatives like Alamzeb Afridi, Shadab Baig, Bada Sajid and Sultan Armar continue to receive training in Pakistan. Most wanted terrorists Riyaz Bhatkal, Amir Reza Khan and Iqbal Bhatkal, who are taking cover in Paksitan, can resurrect the IM and the SIMI, IB warned. Intelligence agency claimed to track at least 5 students from Chennai, who have gone off radar and are training in Syria. What is even more worrying is that groups such as the Al Qaeda and Taliban are taking keen interest in the terror operations in Indian affairs. If these terror groups sound a war cry, there is 99 of 100 chance misguided youth will fall into their trap and take the path of terror, IB officer warned.
