Hindustan Times reports that four Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives recently arrested by Delhi Police have reportedly confessed that three of them were involved in planting bombs at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore during an IPL match in 2010. An unnamed senior Police official of the anti-terrorist cell said Mohammed Qateel Siddiqui (27), Ghayur Ahmed Jamali (21) and Aftab Alam Farooq (27) planted bombs on April 18, 2010. They are all from Bihar and another accused, Gauhar Aziz Khomani (31), who provided back-up, was also wanted by the Bangalore Police, he said. Sources said the three confessed before the Bangalore Police that they were in Tumkur, 73 km from Bangalore, a month before planting the bombs. The bombs were assembled in a rented house and the material was supplied by IM head Riaz Bhatkal and his aide Yasin Bhatkal.

investigators have said that the IM module led by Yasin Bhatkal may have also been involved in the serial blasts in Mumbai on July 13, 2011, reports Times of India. Mohammed Ahmed Sidibapa alias Yasin Bhatkal alias Shahrukh, who led the IM module, may have been in Mumbai during the blasts, investigators believe. Initial investigation showed that the Yasin-led IM module was behind the German Bakery bombing in Pune, the blast in Chinnaswami Stadium in Bangalore and the firing on foreign tourists near Jama Masjid in Delhi ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. As reported earlier, in a nationwide investigation, Police Forces, supported by intelligence agencies, had arrested seven IM members. Yasin managed to escape. Investigators also found that Yasin, who is related to brothers Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, was living in Delhi until recently. Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal are now believed to be in Karachi (Pakistan).

the Ahmadabad city crime branch officials believe that Habib Phalai alias Taiyab, arrested in Uttar Pradesh on December 28 in the Ahmadabad serial blasts case, may be connected to the other accused from Azamgarh involved in various serial blasts across India. Investigators said that Taiyab was involved in the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and was inducted by Mufti Abu Bashar, the first arrested accused in the serial blasts case. "Like Abu Bashar, Habib was inclined towards teaching religion and was working as teacher at a madrassa," said an unnamed crime branch official, adding, "On the insistence of other members, he had attended camps organized by SIMI at Wagamon in Kerala and Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh." Officials added that while Taiyab knew about the blasts, he was not directly involved. "After blasts ripped across the country, he went back to Azamgarh and started leading the life of a teacher," the official said.

Policemen across Mumbai will now be trained in handling the situation effectively at terror sites in case of an attack till well-trained personnel take charge, reports Outlook. Talking about a plan in the pipeline, Arup Patnaik, Police Commissioner, said on January 10, "On terror front, we want to train our men at 90 Police Stations so that they immediately reach the spot and handle the situation till teams from elite units such as Force One and National Security Guards arrive." He said the lower-run Policemen, who will be the first responders, will also be equipped with advanced weapons soon. The 40,000-strong Police Force already has Quick Response Teams, mandated to immediately reach the terror spot and take positions till commandos arrive. According to a recent intelligence report, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in association with Indian Mujahideen (IM) is planning to carry out attacks in Mumbai and Delhi in near future.

The Millat Bedari Muhim Committee (MBMC) on January 14 asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to institute a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the September 19, 2008 Batla House encounter in New Delhi that killed two Indian Mujahideen (IM) militants and a Delhi Police Inspector Mohan Chandra Sharma, reports The Times of India. The MBMC, comprising mostly teachers and former teachers of the Aligarh Muslim University, had sent a memorandum to the Prime Minister in this regard. The memorandum slammed Union Home Minister P Chidambram for describing the encounter as genuine, MBMC chief Razaullah Khan told reporters. "What has pained members of the Muslim community is the fact that even a call for dispensation of justice is dubbed as appeasement by certain sections of the polity," he said.

Security agencies have been put on a high alert after Intelligence Bureau (IB) warned the Delhi Police last week that a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, identified as one Rehman, may have gained entry into the city to carry out a terror strike during the upcoming Republic Day (January 26) celebrations, reports Asian Age. Sources said Rehman is believed to be heavily armed and carrying sophisticated weapons and gadgetry and may have specifically entered Delhi with a mission to disrupt R-Day celebrations.“We don’t know his location. There are active Indian Mujahideen [IM] sleeper modules in the city and Rehman may try to get in touch with their members to carry out a terror strike on the upcoming Republic Day celebrations. We are taking every measure to disrupt any attempt to strike the city,” an unnamed top special cell official said. The Police are also monitoring the activities of suspicious “Naxal [Left Wing Extremist] sympathisers” and many NGOs are being watched closely. “The Naxals have found a safe haven in the city and they too may plan to disrupt the upcoming celebrations. We are taking every measure to prevent any such attempt,” the source said.

Investigators probing the Indian Mujahideen (IM) Bihar module, part of which was busted by the special team of Delhi Police in 2011, has found that the chief of IM operations in India, Yasin, had been making frequent trips to several areas of Bihar towards the beginning of this decade for recruitment to the terror cause, reports Times of India. Yasin, popularly known as Doctor Imran across the three Bihar districts of Samastipur, Darbhanga and Madhubani, had a lot of acquaintances whom he invited over to Delhi. Yasin merely re-established contact with those who came to Delhi in search of jobs. "We believe that he was in need of men, who were equally motivated and also in want of money. Thus, he chose his men very carefully,'' added the source. This, he claimed, also showed that Yasin could have already kept other modules ready. "He is one leader who did not let the left hand know what the right hand was up to,'' an officer said. Sources have also confirmed that at least two members of the present module were present near L-11, Batla House, the encounter site on September 13, 2008, though till then they had no knowledge of the exact role played by the Azamgarh module. "We believe that these men were not part of any bombings prior to 2010, but we have evidence which suggest that they assembled as early as December 2008 and decided to take forward the IM agenda,'' said a source. Earlier, investigators had believed that the Bihar module had only become active after the Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh) module, operating under Atif Ameen, was busted in the Batla House encounter in September 2008.

They planned to bomb one of these, but decided against it after seeing the heavy security arrangement and the CCTV cameras.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on January 23 claimed to have made a major breakthrough in the triple Mumbai blasts July 13, 2011 that claimed 27 lives, with the arrest of two of the accused hailing from Bihar, reports Times of India. Naqi Ahmed Wasi Ahmed Sheikh (22) and Nadeem Akhtar Ashfaq Sheikh (23) were arrested on January 12 but the mastermind of the crime Yasin Bhatkal, a top Indian Mujahideen operative, and the planters of the IEDs used in the blasts are still evading arrest, ATS Chief Rakesh Maria said. Maria said while Naqi came to Mumbai in September 2010, Nadeem, his co-villager, from Bihar's Darbhanga District, was living in Antop Hill area of Mumbai. Naqi, according to Maria, came in touch with Ahmed Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal alias Imran in 2008. He said Nadeem was called to Delhi by Bhatkal and handed over a cloth packet containing the explosive and detonators used in the blast that was handed over to Naqi. Naqi, he said, was given INR 1.5 lakh by Bhatkal as commission for the crime in which at least INR 10 lakh, received through hawala channels, was used. He said Naqi and Nadeem had stolen two Activa scooters that were used for carrying out the explosions. Two motorcycles also stolen by them and kept for future use have also been recovered from Bihar. Further, rubbishing media reports that Naqi was innocent and that he was being tortured in Police custody, Maria said he was aware of Bhatkal antecedents. Naqi not only assisted Bhatkal in scouting for an apartment in Habib Building in Byculla but also paid the money for accommodation, the ATS Chief added.

Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Rakesh Maria said that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) first recruited youths from Cheetah Camp in Trombay (Maharashtra), then Kondwa in Pune (Maharashtra), then Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh and now Darbhanga in Bihar, according to Times of India. He said IM founding member Yasin Bhatkal had indoctrinated and trained as many as three dozen youths in Darbhanga. "Bhatkal also made Bihar a base at which he could receive hawala money through Pakistan via Dubai. He also helped Pakistan's ISI circulate counterfeit notes in India by first landing them in Bihar," added Maria. "It's worrisome, because Bihar is a state where there is huge unemployment and youths are moving to metros to get any odd job they can find. Such youths can become easy prey for criminals, particularly the underworld and terror outfits," he added.

The investigations into the bogus SIM cards racket led the Police to the accused in the July 13, 2011 Mumbai triple blast case (also known as 13/7), reports DNA. “Our sources told us about Indian Mujahideen (IM) members using SIM cards procured through bogus documents. We came across Ganesh Tikole, a telecom service provider agent in Mumbai. He used to give customers’ documents to Naqi, who would fudge them to get prepaid SIM cards of other telecom companies,” said an unnamed officer. He added that investigations revealed that IM members from Pune (Mahrashtra), Bihar and Mumbai (Maharashtra) were connected through such SIM cards. “On December 2, last year [2011], an ATS team left for Darbhanga in Bihar and was on Naqi Ahmed’s trail for his role in the SIM card racket,” said the officer.

the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) recovered 400 documents provided by Tikole through which prepaid SIM cards were bought by the IM module members. “Tikole has supplied around 700 documents to the module members in the past three years as per our investigations. A case was registered by the ATS on December 28, in which Imran, who is none other than Yasin Bhatkal, was shown as a wanted accused,” the officer said. “In 2010, the Mumbai police did a survey of 26, 450 SIM cards which were randomly selected. It was found that 8,909 of them, which means more than 33 per cent, were bogus,” ATS chief and Additional Director General (Maharashtra) Rakesh Maria said, adds The Hindu. According to DNA, eight persons have been arrested by the ATS in the 13/7 case so far. The arrestees include Abdul Wahab, Mumtaz Jalauddin Khan and Qamar-e-Alam, who were arrested from Mohali (Punjab), Bihar natives Nasim Waris Khan and Adil Rashid Khan, who were arrested from Pune, Naqi Ahmed Shaikh, Nadeem Shaikh and Ganesh Tikole, who were arrested from Mumbai. Times of India adds that three persons, including IM founding member Yasin Bhatkal and two suspected Pakistanis, Tabrez and Waqqas, who are wanted in the case, are absconding. The Hindu adds that ATS chief and Additional Director General (Maharashtra) Rakesh Maria said, “By August 22, we knew that there was an IM hand in the blasts,” adding the arrest of Haroon Rashid Naik (33) in August 2011 in a fake currency case gave the ATS leads about the economic trail of the blasts. The ATS suspects that Haroon is involved in the planning of the 13/7 conspiracy.

New Delhi airport immigration officials have arrested a terror suspect linked to the July 25, 2008 Bangalore (Karnataka) blasts as he was trying to fly out of the country, reports DNA. The suspect, Sameer, a native of Kannur in Kerala, was arrested on January 25 with the help of Lookout Circular (LOC) issued against the suspect by the Bangalore Police. Sameer, a founding member of Jamat-i-yyathul Ansarul Muslimeen (JIAM), which was formed after the Police cracked down on Indian Mujahideen, was allegedly involved in a conspiracy and he received funds for the blast from Muscat in Oman.

The Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) on January 25 made its ninth arrest in a fraudulent SIM card case, according to Indian Express. The accused was identified as Shivkumar Hanumanta (23) from Dadar. Three of the accused in the SIM card case have been booked for their alleged involvement in the July 13, 2011 Mumbai serial blasts case (also known as 13/7). Naqi Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar were arrested by the ATS and Imran alias Yasin Bhatkal has been named as a wanted. The ATS claimed the Indian Mujahideen (IM) is believed to have used these fraudulently procured SIM cards for mobile connectivity. “We have recovered 2,200 documents, which include photographs and identity proofs,” said Additional Director General of Police (ATS) Rakesh Maria. On the fresh arrest, he said, “He (Hanumanta) would promise people from poor and middle class background talk time of Rs 40 at a discounted price of Rs 30.” Hanumanta is an agent, like Ganesh Tikole (arrested earlier), who collected profiles. DNA reports that prior to executing the 13/7 blasts in Mumbai, IM operatives Yasin Bhatkal and Riyaz Bhatkal bargained extensively on the amount to be spent to execute the terror attack. Though Yasin demanded INR 1.7 million to bomb three places in Mumbai, he was paid only INR 1.2 million by IM leaders, investigations have revealed. “Naqi paid Rs 1 lakh as deposit for a rented room in Byculla’s Habib Mansion. The remaining 50,000 is believed to have been used by the two planters on food and travelling,” the officer said. The Police are yet to ascertain what happened to the remaining Rs 10.50 lakh. IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal also took 10 percent from the ‘salaries’ of his module members in the name of jihad and used it for his own benefit, the officer said. “Bhatkal had stashed Rs26 lakh in his bank accounts and Rs11.40 lakh in cash were found in his Mangalore home when it was raided by the police in September 2008. He is believed to have used that money for investing in real estate in Mangalore,” he added. Further, Maharashtra ATS revealed that the hawala money to fund the attacks was routed through UAE, reports One India. An unnamed ATS official said, "The hawala money utilised to engineer the triple blasts was routed through UAE. We have all the details as to how the money was channelized via UAE and who sponsored it."
