National Investigation Agency (NIA) identifies Islamic State (IS) operatives Abu Isa al Amirki and an Indian national key in inspiring the Hyderabad module of the group, dnaindia.com reports on December 9. A key IS planner from its External Operations division, known by his alias Abu Isa al Amriki, has been identified by the NIA as one of the main handlers who indoctrinated and recruited five Hyderabad men who conspired to form an IS-inspired module.Amriki will be named in the charge sheet on the Hyderabad module to be filed this month, as one of the handlers from the IS directed to recruit from India, senior NIA officials told. The NIA, in June, arrested five men – Ibrahim and Ilyas Yazdani, Habib Mohammad, Mohammad Irfan and Abdullah Bin Ahmad. They were carrying explosives and weapons for allegedly carrying out terror attacks in the name of IS.Amriki, believed to be an American citizen, was a Sudanese national and was also known as Abu Saad al Sudani. He was killed in an airstrike by US coalition forces on April 22, 2016 along with his wife Umm Isa al Amriki, an Australian national. Pentagon has also confirmed Amriki's role as a planner in the IS' external operations division, headed by Abu Mohammad al-Adnani mastermind behind the deadly attacks in France, the US, Belgium and Turkey."Forensic investigation on chat messages, emails, online communication and interrogation of the five suspects has revealed that they received instructions from IS operatives. Based on the IP addresses, the language in chat messages, conversations and accent, we have established that Amirki was one of the handlers. There is also a second handler based in Syria, who seems to be of Indian origin,'' asenior NIA officer said.Amriki is booked as a conspirator in the New York New Year's eve attack in 2015, wherein accused Emanuel L Lutchman, an American citizen from Rochester, New York, pleaded guilty of planning to carry out terrorist attack in the name of IS.The NIA officer said that the modus operandi followed by Amriki in recruiting Lutchman and the Hyderabad men online was strikingly similar. Amriki introduced himself as an IS member based in Syria and encouraged Ibrahim to travel to the Caliphate and join the IS.After the two failed attempts to travel to Syria via Greece and Turkey, Ibrahim came into contact with a second handler – an Urdu speaking IS fighter, whose leads were given by Amriki – in November. The second handler convinced Ibrahim that there was no need to travel to Syria and he should stay in India and continue to do his work (jihad). This included recruiting more members, setting up a module, procuring explosives and carrying out terror attacks.The five suspects also issued a bayah (pledge of allegiance) in the name of IS leader Abu Bakar al Baghdadi, signed and sent through email to the second handler. NIA says he is still active online and he is operating and responding from IS-controlled areas, possibly Aleppo or Raqqa.

Five Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, including co-founder Yasin Bhatkal, were on December 13 convicted by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Hyderabad in connection with the 2013 blasts in Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad, reports Indian Express. The other four convicts are Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas from Pakistan, Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi from Uttar Pradesh, Tahaseen Akhtar from Bihar and Aijaz Sheikh from Maharashtra. They are at present lodged in Cherlapally prison, where the special court heard the case. The sentencing has been posted for December 19, 2016. IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal, the prime accused in the case, is absconding.The six were charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Explosives Substances Act and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967. The trial began on August 24, 2015. By the time final arguments concluded in November, the NIA court had examined 453 witnesses and over 150 documents. The court reserved its judgment for November 21, and then posted it for December 13.In its first chargesheet, the NIA accused Yasin Bhatkal alias Mohammed Ahmed Siddibappa and Asadullah Akhtar of conspiring to plant bombs at two places. Akhtar and Bhatkal were arrested by the NIA on August 29, 2013, from the Nepal border in Bihar. Akhtar was also accused of smuggling explosives from Mangaluru to Hyderabad. The second chargesheet was filed after Zia-ur-Rehman and Tahaseen Akhtar were arrested in March 2014. The NIA said that Riyaz Bhatkal had sent the explosives and money to Mangaluru, where Asadullah and Rehman took the consignment from an unknown person. They brought it to Hyderabad, where they joined Tahaseen and prepared two IEDs using pressure cookers. According to the chargesheet, they conducted a test blast at Abdullahpurmet on the outskirts of Hyderabad. On February 21, 2013, they placed the two IEDs on the two bicycles — purchased by them on February 20, 2013 — and parked them at the busy Venkatadri and Konak theatres in Dilsukhnagar. The IEDs exploded at 7 pm. Director General of NIA Sharad Kumar said this was the first conviction of IM cadres. “We will appeal for maximum punishment,’’ he said.

Two youths from Telangana, Hamid Ul Rehman of Hyderabad and Gufran Mohiuddin of Warangal were questioned about links with Islamic State (IS) after their deportation from Turkey about three months ago, were given clean chit, The Times of India reports on December 17. The duo was first deported to Mumbai, where the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) questioned and released them after cross-checking their antecedents. An officer from the Telangana Police said, "We questioned and let them off. We cannot say if they had any plans to join terror outfits. They have been leading a peaceful life over the last three months or so." Hamid and Gufran were employed in Saudi Arabia for a few years before they moved to Turkey, where they were held for the lack of required documents. Over the past one year or so, dozens of youths have been held for trying to join the Islamic State in various parts of Telangana.

Five Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives were on December 19, awarded death penalty by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Hyderabad in the February 2013 Dilsukhnagar (Hyderabad) blasts case, reports freepressjournal.in. This is the first case that any operative of the IM has been convicted. Earlier, on December 13, the court convicted the five operatives, including IM co-founder Mohammad Ahmed Sidibapa alias Yasin Bhatkal, Pakistani national Zia-ur-Rahman alias Waqas, Asadullah Akh-tar alias Haddi, Tahaseen Akhtar alias Monu and Ajaz Shaikh, who are at present in judicial custody and lodged in the Cherlapally Central Prison here.The court convicted Yasin Bhatkal and others under various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC), Arms Act, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The NIA special court, after hearing the defence and prosecution’s arguments, pronounced the quantum of sentence. According to NIA, Riyaz Bhatkal arranged for explosive substances and directed Asadullah Akhtar and Zia-ur-Rahman at Mangalore to receive the same.After receiving the explosive materials and the money sent by Riyaz through hawala and money transfer channels, Asadullah Akhtar and Waqas reached Hyderabad and joined Tahseen Akhtar, who was already hiding there, it had said. Together they prepared two IEDs after procuring the other required materials as well as two cycles for mounting the IEDs from Hyderabad, the agency had said. After preparation of the IEDs on February 21, 2013, the accused mounted two bombs on two bicycles. They had planted them in two separate places in Dilsukhnagar which resulted in powerful explosions, it had said.

Six months after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) busted an Islamic State (ISIS) module in Hyderabad, the agency on December 22 filed a charge sheet against eight members including their leader Mohammad Ibrahim Yazdani, reports The Times of India. The module was planning major attacks on VVIPs, religious places, crowded markets, government buildings including police stations and had even collected several kilograms of explosives for the purpose. The outfit'S leader Ibrahim Yazdani, who was in continuous touch with ISIS's principal recruiter for India - Shafi Armar - was specifically inspired by controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik and had even gone to Mumbai (Maharashtra) to attend one of Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) camp as a volunteer. Yazdani went for the IRF camp in 2010 and listened to his speeches. He had been following Naik's speeches since 2004. The other members of the outfit were also radicalized online by watching videos of the ISIS, bayans (discourses and lectures) of radical Islamic preachers such as Anwar Awlaki, Abdu Sami Qasmi, Meraj Rabbani, Tausif ur Rehman, Jerjees Ansari and Zakir Naik.NIA charge sheet says that the module members downloaded and followed the ISIS propaganda videos, ISIS magazine - "Dabiq", which convinced them that the ISIS was fighting for the rights of the Sunnis. "The group associated with the terrorist organization called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (the ISIS) and pledged their allegiance through the Bay'ah (oath of allegiance) to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed Caliph of the Islamic State and formed a group called Junood-ul Khilafa Fi Bilad Al Hind (Army of the Caliph from the South India)," says NIA chargesheet.

A group of alleged Islamic State (IS) sympathisers, conspiring to target Police Stations in Hyderabad (Telangana), used a host of encrypted applications, including one developed by al Qaeda’s propaganda arm, in order to keep their communication secure, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said, reports The Hindustan Times on December 26. Al-Fajr Media Centre distributes al Qaeda’s online propaganda material. Its technical branch al-Fajr Technical Committee was established in 2012. Two years later, it released an Android version of it is encryption programme called Amn al-Mujahid (security of mujahid) for mobile phones. “Two members of the (IS sympathiser) group, Mohammed Ibrahim Yazdani and Abdulla Bin Ahmed al-Amoodi had downloaded Amn al-Mujahid encryption on their mobile phones,” says the NIA charge sheet against eight members of the group. Even then, they never discussed their plans on these applications and preferred face-to-face meeting to discuss their targets, the agency noted. The group also used Tor applications like ‘Orbot’ and ‘Orfox’, which hide a user’s internet usage by bouncing it through a series of computers around the world. “We will have to continuously update our knowledge and technology to keep track of the suspect communication,” an NIA official said. The charge sheet said two handlers of the group - one of them is suspected to an Indian named Shafi Armar who is originally a native of Bhatkal (Karnataka) and a former member of terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) - kept them informed about the latest tools to keep their communication secure. Armar moved to IS-held area in Syria two years back. The charge sheet said the group members had plans to target Policemen and Police Stations in Hyderabad and used navigation and map application ‘OsmAnd+’ to plot their targets. One of the group members, Muzaffar Hussain Rizwan was found with a digital document containing three Global Positioning System co-ordinates saved in it. These corresponded to Kamathipura, Afzalganj and Bahadurpura Police Stations in Hyderabad when plotted on the Google map, says the charge sheet. Rizwan, during interrogation, confirmed that he was tasked with surveying the Police Stations.These coordinates of the police stations were later sent to the IS handler in Syria using Pidgin application which allows users to log into multiple chat accounts simultaneously. For making Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, the group was asked to use ‘Nymgo’ application. Besides, the group was also using ‘Chatsecure’ and ‘Trillian’, considered secure chat applications, and Tutanota email that provide end-to-end encryption. According to the NIA, the group was also planning to target religious places in Hyderabad to foment communal tension in the city.
