Bengaluru: Does the October 2 Burdwan blast have links with South India? The six accused, including two women, who were arrested in the blast case, which claimed the life of two suspected Jamaat ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militants, have reportedly given some important leads in the transnational terror conspiracy, in which JMB’s key militant Kausar, who is now on the run, reportedly has connections with some Kerala-based terror modules, which are an alleged offshoot of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
Karnataka police and State Intelligence have also sought information from the NIA on possible terror links here after unconfirmed reports indicated that Abdul Qader Sultan Armar from Bhatkal, who is reportedly absconding and is recruiting vulnerable Indian Muslim youth for the global jehadi organization, Al-Qaeda may also have a hand in the terror conspiracy and the revival of JMB,” the officer added.
“A team of National Investigation Agency officials is interrogating the accused, who were reportedly radicalised in violent jehadi ideology at Simulia Madrasa in Burdwan district. The terror network seems to cut across states and international boundaries. There are reported links with some terrorist modules in Kerala, which are being verified,” said an officer on condition of anonymity.
