Quote: NEW DELHI: Investigating agencies probing the Pune blast are now looking into the clandestine operations of an organization called Islamic Students Congregation (ISC), which first came on the Indian security radar in 2007 when a Sudanese member of al-Qaida visited Pune and stayed there for a month interacting with members of ISC. It was only after the Sudanese national left India that the authorities realized his true identity. He had come to India assuming a fake identity.
While Pune’s association with Abu Zubaidah, Osama bin Laden’s No.3 man, is well known, the fact that Pune was likely to be targeted by al-Qaida became obvious in August 2006, when three al-Qaida operatives were arrested in Algeria. “These three men had then disclosed that the same year in March, all three of them had visited Pune on a reconnaissance mission. It then became clear that Pune was on al-Qaida’s hit list,” said the official.
The fact that the perpetrators targeted German Bakery and not the Chabad House has also set officials thinking. “It’s possible that they found it easier to plant the bomb in the bakery. However, it can’t be ruled out that the perpetrators were influenced by al-Qaida leader Bekkay Harrach who has been issuing threats against Germany,” said the official. |
