The
Uttar Pradesh Police claimed to have
arrested 6 terrorists responsible for
the bomb explosions last month in the
Hindu holy city of Varanasi and said
that they had plans to blow up the two
Hanuman temples in the city on
Ramanavami. However, the Delhi police
disagreed with this claim saying that
the arrested terrorists had links with
Jaish-e-Mohammed and while the ones
who blasted bombs in New Delhi last
Deepavali were connected to the
Lashkar-e-Toiba.
All
six terrorists were from Bangladesh
and one of them was a priest. The
captured terrorists say that they were
recruited, funded, and trained by
Pakistan’s Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI) spy agency. India
accuses Pakistan of fighting a
“proxy war” by recruiting,
funding, training, directing, and
managing terrorist activities in
India; predictably, denies the charge.
The
latest trend is to recruit poor Muslims from India,
take them to Bangladesh via the porous borders of West
Bengal, train them in Pakistan with field operations
in Baloachistan, and ship them back to India either
through Jammu or via the reverse route.
A
recent terrorist arrested in the Southern town of Gulbarga has confirmed this modus operandi and the
police have extracted vital clues on this strategy
through narco-analysis, brain mapping, and polygraph
tests.
The
6 arrested terrorists belong to a group called the Harkat-ul-Jihad Al Islami (Huji).
