Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Four Indian Mujahideen terrorists arrested, had plans to murder Hindu politician

Mar 23, 2014 7:36 pm By Robert Spencer

IndianArrestThey arrested the Indian Mujahideen’s bomb expert and seized a huge quantity of explosives. So it seems as if not just Narendra Modi, but many others around him would have died, had these would-be jihad murderers succeeded in carrying out their plans. Note also that Waqas is a Pakistani national. Will the Pakistanis cooperate with Indian officials in investigating this jihad plot? What do you think?

“Four Indian Mujahideen terrorists arrested, had plans to target Narendra Modi,” by Rahul Tripathi for the Indian Express, March 23:

Terror outfit, Indian Mujahideen’s (IM) expert bomb-maker, Waqas alias Javed, a resident of Punjab in Pakistan was arrested along with three others suspected members of IM from Jaipur and Jodhpur in Rajasthan by the Special Cell of Delhi police.

The terror module, which was busted with the help of Intelligence Bureau, was learnt to have been holed up in Rajasthan for past few weeks and had plans to carry out terror attacks during the election rally of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

The counter-terror sleuths also claimed to have seized huge cache of explosives and detonators. Waqas is learnt to have trained several other members of the module in making bombs. He was learnt to be experimenting with new bomb-making materials after restrictions were imposed by the government on the easy availability of Ammonium Nitrate.

Waqas was sent by Riyaz Bhatkal to India in 2010 and is alleged to be involved in the 2010 Jama Masjid attack, 2010 Varanasi blast, Triple Mumbai blasts and 2013 Hyderabad blast. His arrest will help the agencies to identify other absconding members of IM including Tahseen Akhtar, who is believed to be heading a different module.

His initial interrogation revealed that he was also responsible for experimenting for the first time with hydrogen peroxide during the 2010 Varanasi blasts. Waqas is also reported to be suffering from a temporary paralysis in his face, a fact which helped the investigators to narrow him down.

The interrogations also revealed that Waqas was also planning to target foreign tourists in Rajasthan and in particular Israeli nationals visiting Pushkar. Trained in Pakistan, he also had an alias of ‘Javii’ and Javed. He was presently experimenting to make ‘magnet bombs’, something similar which were used to target Israeli embassy official at New Delhi in 2012, said officials.

The three others who were arrested along with Waqas are said to have been recruited by Riyaz and then put under Waqas to train them in bomb-making. Waqas also reportedly had plans to visit Pakistan after carrying out an audacious attack. He had earlier visited Nepal and stayed with IM co-founder Yasin Bhatkal and Asadullah Akhtar, added officials.

    The “verbal terrorist” in India will be so unhappy that they have been caught.
    She loves bomb makers from Pakistan or anywhere outside India to cause terrorism in India.

    Narendra Modi is a nationalist who loves his country – India.
    He is also a no-nonsense type of person and will not give in to special demands of muslims.
    He does not believe in muslim-appeasement, hence most muslims hate him more than they hate other non-muslims.
    He has a very good chance of becoming the next Prime Minister of India hence the urgency amongst muslims to get rid of him.

      I honestly believe that Islam will be eventually eradicated from the Indian Sub- Continent. These folk have had to endure around a thousand years of rape, murder and brutality at the hands of the Muslim invaders of their country.
      Every mosque in India is a permanent reminder of the humiliation inflicted on them by the rapists and butchers from Mecca.

      If that’s the case, I hope he has very good bodyguards.

      And I hope that he *will* stand up to the Mob – the Mohammedan Mob, the ummah bully/ gangster gestalt. He could start by ending the hajj subsidy (if it is the case, as I have heard, that at present India helps pay for mohammedans to go on hajj?): mohammedans if they want to go to Islam Central Gang HQ can do it on their own dime, India has much better things to spend money on, like a good – secular, 3 Rs – primary education for little kids. And all accommodation of mohammedan ‘personal law’ in the area of child/ forced “marriage”, divorce, etc, could also be rescinded; and mohammedan polygynists could be prosecuted, *hard*. And identifying and booting out, from places like West Bengal and other border states, Bangladeshi mohammedan illegal immigrants.

    India is the only country in the world that’s a target of Muslim terrorists but its government stays in power by appeasing the Muslim minority. The idiots don’t see that appeasement is weakness and weakness attracts terrorism. The IM is targeting Modi is because he will end the appeasement.

      The Muslims in India are ethnically equal to other Indians. Pakistanis also have the same ethnicity. They were not Muslims. The question is who is making them Muslims.
