Why Islamic terrorists target Bangalore? News is coming about the blasts ripping off in different places of Bangalore, the so-called IT capital of India. The “Times of India" reports as follows: SIMI, LeT may be behind Bangalore blasts: IB BANGALORE: The SIMI and LeT may be behind the serial blasts that rocked Bangalore on Friday afternoon, the Intelligence Bureau sources said, adding “they could be retaliatory in nature". The first three blasts took place between 1.30 to 1.45 pm. Bangalore Police Commissioner Shanker Bidri, while talking to Times Now, confirmed that the explosions appear to be act of the people who wanted to terrorise the capital of Karnataka. He also said that all these bombs were of low-intensity and were triggered by timers. Soon after the serial explosions, the police ordered closure of all schools, colleges, cinema halls and commercial complexes. As per the latest reports, the SIMI and LeT operatives have been arrested and they are being interrogated. Another unconfirmed sources also said that HuJi may also be behind this terror attacks. Sonia’s real sympathy or crocodile tears? Source: PTI: OpenDocument - 7 minutes ago Is there any meaning in telling that, “This is a cowardly act and people who want to disturb the peace of the country are behind it“? Are we not fed up with the ready-to serve sympathetic words, duplicity-cast verbose and stereotype condolences?
And we know that all the parrots go to repeat the same in one way or the other. Another bombing would be declared or another event would simply hijack all killings, all bloodshed, and all death tolls. The questions to be faced: * How the banned organizations like SIMI have been active again in Bangalore? * It was reported few mionths back that terrorist camps were going on near Bangalore. * Just like LTTE that was getting support in Bangalore earlier, now the Islamic jihadis are getting all support - physical and moral - in Bangalore. The killing of IISc is not solved: Bangalore was rocked by a major terrorist attack in December, 2005 when some unidentified extremists opened fire in the Indian Institute of Science complex killing an Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi professor MC Puri. Blasts on Friday: Friday bombings, blasts etc., have been feature of terrorist activities. March 12, 1993: Mumbai bombings were a series of thirteen bomb explosions that took place in Mumbai). The single-day attacks resulted in up to 250 civilian fatalities and 700 injuries. Indo-Pak talks would be always accompanied with killing of Hindus in Kashmir, border skirmishes and blasts in India: Another coincidence has been whenever there are Indo-Pak talks, there would be blasts in Kashmir killing Hindus or Army men; or blasts in other parts of India; firing at the border and so on. Sudha Ramachandran, in her wite-up, “India ‘decapitates" jihadi group" has analysed the activities of the SIMI in India as follows: Softfare turning into hardware: Among those who were taken into custody were the organization"s general secretary and ideologue Safdar Nagori, his brother and chief of operations in Andhra Pradesh, Kamruddin Nagori, the leader of its Karnataka unit, Hafiz Hussain and Kerala-born software engineer-turned-terrorist Shibly Peedical Abdul. Seven other activists were taken into custody in raids in subsequent days. Nagori and others have been on the run since September 2001
According to police, jihadi and explosives training were conducted at the camp in Choral, a riverside area surrounded by mountains. The police also found 122 super-explosive gelatin sticks, 100 detonators and switchboards buried underground in Gawali village. Origin of SIMI: Founded as a student organization in 1977 in Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, SIMI was set up to energize the Jamaat-e-Islami"s network among students. According to its founder Mohammad Ahmadullah Siddiqi, it was set up as a “study circle", “to present Islam through lectures and seminars to students at colleges and schools". But within a few years of its founding, SIMI had little to do with student life on campus aside from recruiting students to become its cadres, according to officials in India"s Intelligence Bureau (IB). To establish “Islamic rule" in India: “SIMI"s outlook was fundamentalist and while its activity in the early years might not have been anti-national, its ideology and objectives ran counter to India"s secular-democratic constitution," an IB official said. Its literature was confrontational and vitriolic and its leaders routinely railed against the “moral degeneration" of “anti-Islamic cultures" like India and the West and called for waging jihad to establish Islamic rule in India. Jihad called in the name of Mohammed Ghaznavi: In the 1990s, SIMI came under the control of extremist activists. Its transformation from a fundamentalist students" organization to a radical extremist group was rapid thereafter. The destruction of the Babri Masjid (Mosque)in December 1992 and the anti-Muslim riots in Mumbai that followed, added fuel to the fire and further radicalized SIMI cadres. SIMI pamphlets openly called on Muslims to avenge the death of their co-religionists by following in the footsteps of the 11th century conqueror Mahmud Ghaznavi, who repeatedly attacked India and is said to have destroyed many Hindu temples. Trampling on kafirs: SIMI was suspected of inciting communal riots in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra and of carrying out a bomb blast in the Sabarmati Express near Faizabad in 2000. SIMI activists were increasingly being arrested for engaging in violent attacks. Following the attacks on New York City on September 11, 2001, SIMI organized demonstrations in India lionizing Osama bin Laden and calling on Muslims to “trample on infidels". It was designated a terrorist organization and proscribed under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). POTA was revoked in 2004 but the ban on SIMI remains under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. SIMI was charged with “anti-national and destabilizing activities" for “making controversial remarks questioning the country"s sovereignty and integrity", “working for an international Islamic order" and of having “links with militant outfits and supporting extremism/militancy in Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere". Soft pedalling with SIMI by the government: Critics of the ban said the allegations leveled against SIMI were vague and not adequately substantiated, that the offenses it was accused of and the provocative statements its leaders were alleged to have made were tame compared with those made by Hindu extremist groups against whom no action was taken. The proscription of the organization was followed by sweeping arrests of SIMI cadres. The ban pushed SIMI"s leaders underground but did not stand in the way of the organization expanding its presence and profile. It is said that under Nagori"s leadership, SIMI was restructured; separate wings for propaganda, finance and weapons procurement were set up. From an organization that was centered in Uttar Pradesh, SIMI has grown into an organization whose tentacles extend from Kerala in the south to Kashmir in the north, from Gujarat in the west to Assam in the northeast. The terror of SIMI everywhere: It is this network across India that SIMI has to offer and which has made it an attractive partner for terrorist organizations like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami (HUJI) and the Hizb-ul Mujahideen looking to expand their area of operations in India. It was thanks to foot soldiers, safe houses and support provided by SIMI that these outfits were able to carry out terror attacks across the country. A supportive hand from SIMI was visible in the terror attacks at Ghatkopar (2002), Ayodhya (2005), Bangalore (2005) Varanasi (2006), Mumbai (2006) Malegaon (2006) and Panipat (2007) among others. The recent arrests in Karnataka have revealed the deep inroads SIMI has made into southern India and the growing influence it wields over well-educated, professional Muslims. Several of the hardcore activists arrested in Karnataka and Kerala in February were engineers and doctors with profiles quite different from the stereotypical SIMI recruit. Police officials say that the arrest of the SIMI top brass is a breakthrough. But they are cautious about evaluating the impact it will have on the organization. “SIMI has been decapitated but this doesn"t necessarily signal the beginning of the end of the organization," the senior police officer said, pointing out that the outfit"s network is widespread and will be difficult to dismantle. The patronage of Politicians: More importantly, “SIMI enjoys the patronage of politicians." Hardcore activists, who were arrested in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh “have often been released on orders from above [politicians]", the police officer said. It is not just counter-terrorism officials and intelligence agencies that will be following the arrest and interrogation of the SIMI leaders. A section within SIMI - the moderate faction - is also likely to follow the developments closely. In a recent article in the fortnightly newsmagazine Frontline, Praveen Swamy discusses an ongoing struggle between the jihadis and political Islamists in SIMI. It appears that the political Islamists have been uneasy with SIMI"s jihad links, which they believe have “hurt both the organization and Muslims as a whole". But that could now change. The arrest of Nagori, Abdul and others - all of the SIMI"s terrorist faction - could loosen somewhat the grip of the jihadis over SIMI. It could provide space for the political Islamists to wrest control over the organization and its agenda. The question is whether the political Islamists have the stomach for the long tussle ahead. Wresting control from the jihadis will not be easy but it has now become less impossible. Asiatime online, April, 4 2008: With due acknowledgement to the author.

Bangalore, June 8: Supporting continuation of the ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India, the Karnataka government in its affidavit submitted to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Tribunal has contended that some of the SIMI members had been in contact with militant outfits.
The state intelligence has quoted the Hubli-Honnali cases to support their contention that the banned outfit had been in touch with some of the militant organisations that were unleashing terror in the country.
In the Honnali case, two persons had been arrested on charges of stealing vehicles. The affidavit stated that a SIMI activist was nabbed along with Naseer Raizauddin alias Mohammed Ghouse, alleged to be a Pakistan trained militant, who had been holding meetings with members of SIMI with the agenda of carrying out terror strikes in the country.
In Hubli, the police had raided places believed to be a training ground for terrorist activities. Police had also recovered explosives from parts of the state.
Those arrested in the Hubli case included members of the banned outfit which supported the contention that the organisation was involved with terror outfits, it added.
While supporting the continuation of the ban, the affidavit contended that those arrested in connection with terror plots in Karnataka had links with SIMI.
The affidavit was submitted to the Tribunal, set up by the Centre, which concluded its two-day sitting here yesterday. The Tribunal was in the state to review the ban on SIMI.

Manmohan Singh condemns Bangalore blasts
Friday, July 25, 2008 19:27 IST
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday condemned the Bangalore serial bomb blasts and urged people to remain calm and maintain communal harmony.
Prime Minister Singh expressed grief over the loss to life and sent his condolences to the bereaved family.
He has sanctioned an ex-gratia payment of Rs. 100,000 to the next of kin of the dead and Rs.50,000 to those injured in the blasts.
One woman was killed and six people were injured when a series of bombs fitted with timer devices went off in the space of 45 minutes in the country’s IT capital.
After the blasts, the union government sought a report from the Karnataka government while Home Minister Shivraj Patil promised all help to the state government in tracking down the perpetrators.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So the PM appeared now urged people to remain calm and maintain communal harmony.
When the Islamic terrorists have been so open to bomb and kill Hindus, declaring jihad against such kafirs why all these secularists and others are fooling Hindus by giving this type of stereotyped sermons?
It is unfortunate that even the International community could not realize that the Hindu community has been under the target of these terrorists ever since they started moving from middle-wast towards India through north-west.
Do the human-rights, womwn-rights, children-rights and other rights advocates and preachers have ever thought of total violation of rights of Hindus?
If they keep silence, then, definitely the world community cannot forget such negationist history on the earth.

Women giving terror lessons in Nagpur
19 Jun 2008, 0425 hrs IST, Soumittra S Bose ,TNN
NAGPUR: They are from the weaker sex but are working to strengthen the terror network, right here in Nagpur.
And it’s children, as tender as 5 to 15 years old, whom they are looking to mould into subversive agents of tomorrow.
Local intelligence agencies have learned that woman sleeper cells of banned terror outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) are consolidating Shaheen Force, the wing of school children, and Tehreek Tulba-e-Arabiya, the movement of the students of Arabic, both off-shoots of SIMI, in the city.
Interrogation of arrested senior Simi members revealed such tactics all over the country. It is learnt that sleeper cells comprising women are active near Kidwai ground in Pachpaoli, Timki and Mominpura area since some time now, focussing on creating a network among students.
City police have already started working on the input that women working for SIMI are active in different educational institutions of the city as teachers. Apart from strengthening the base of SIMI by raising recruits in schools and madrassas, woman sleeper cells also encourage students to learn Urdu and follow the ideologies of Islamic hardliners and Jehadi theories.
The students are also motivated through Jehadi literature. Once trained in theory, the students are exposed to ‘atrocities’ on Muslims and inflammatory lectures, shown provocative movies and clippings of media coverage and also, at times, eye-witnesses.
“They imbibe Jehadi thoughts in impressionable brains and then handpick the able ones to be sent for training in explosives and arms and ammunition in camps across the border,” said a source.
City police had got an inkling of woman sleeper cells and Shaheen Force in the city during the custodial interrogation of top SIMI functionary Dr Abrar Arif.
“““““““““““““& #8220;““““““““““““̶ 0;““““““““`
Very good indeed, this is how the terrosism is nurtured.
Can these be called the “mothers of all terrorisms”?
None would be surprised then that the brain-washed children would become easily terrorists, bombers and suicide-attackers, as Allah would immediately accommodate them in heaven for waging jihad and eliminating kafirs!

Terror revisits Bangalore?
http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1585788
Ba ngalore: Bangalore is not new to terrorism. The most shocking incident took place on December 28, 2005, when five top scientists including M C Puri, Professor Emeritus at IIT Delhi, were killed in terrorist attack on IISc campus in Bangalore.
Recently, the police had unearthed terror training camps in the forests bordering North Karnataka following the arrests of three terror suspects–Mohammed Ghouse, Asadullah Abubaker and Mohammed Asif.
Two Pakistani national arrested in Mysore on Ocotber 2, 2007, had revealed their plans to attack the Karnataka Secretariat, Vidhana Soudha, and its annexe, Vikas Soudha, in Bangalore and the Central Institute of Indian Languages in Mysore.
The attack on IISc campus in Bangalore was not apparently targeted to kill any particular scientist, but at South India, in general, and Bangalore, in particular, which have a large concentration of not only IT experts, but also famous scientists.
Intelligence agencies have sounded the warning that terror cells established by some terrorist outfits in South India are waiting for the right time to strike.
Starting from the serial bomb blasts in Coimbatore in 1998, there were several terrorist strikes in major South Indian centres, including the twin bomb blasts in Hyderabad, bomb attack on Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad and the attack on the IISc campus in Bangalore.
Besides political and religious reasons, there is evidently an economic angle to the attacks on IT hubs in South India. Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai, in the calculation of the terrorists and their sponsors in Pakistan, are attractive targets for economic terrorism. Being an important source of India’s foreign exchange earnings, such attacks are designed to keep foreign IT companies away from India and weaken India’s stock market, which attracts considerable overseas funds.
The sleeper cells of pro-al-Qaeda jihadi terrorist organisations of Pakistan and Bangladesh operating in South India have come to the notice of the police. The most active among them in South India is the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) followed by the Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami (HuJI).
Occasionally, there have also been reports of the presence and activities of other Pakistan-based organisations such as the Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
The sleeper cells of LeT in South India operate either as LeT or under other names such as the Muslim Defence Force in Tamil Nadu. They aim at “liberating” local Muslims from Indian control as a first step in their plan to “liberate” the Muslims of North and South India and incorporate their “homelands” in the so-called Islamic Caliphate advocated by Osama bin Laden.
After the neutralisation of a LeT sleeper cell in Delhi in March last, the Delhi Police had repeatedly been sounding wake-up calls about the plans of the jihadi terrorists to target IT companies in Bangalore. Media reports have also been speaking of a number of hoax threats addressed to IT companies in Bangalore since March.
What startles the intelligence sleuths is that highly educated youths are joining the terrorist ranks in a big way. K A Adhoni who was arrested by by Dharwad police for his suspected links with the banned SIMI, is an assistant executive engineer of a government department.
