NIA chargesheet in Coimbatore blast case speaks of larger plan by Islamic State
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet in connection with the Coimbatore boom-mobile blast case.

An explosion had taken place near an ancient Temple in Coimbatore in October last year. A vehicle laden with an Improvised Explosive Device driven by one Jamesha Mubin had blown up in from the front of the Temple. Mubeen was killed in the blast.

The NIA's chargesheet says that Mubeen was inspired by the ideology of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems...
. He had also taken oath in the name of the Caliphate before he carried out the attack, an NIA official said.

The NIA also recovered a pen drive in which a video was found where Mubeen is seen declaring that he is a member of the Islamic State. He had spoken extensively about his intention to commit a suicide terror attack on the non-believers of Islam, the NIA said. He was also inspired by the sermons of Zahran Hashim, the criminal mastermind of the easter bombing that took place in Sri Lanka, the NIA said.

Further the agency also recovered hand-written notes, where Mubeen had criticised the existing democratic system. He had said that it was not in tandem with the Islamic law. He had further mentioned that he had plans of targeting government offices, district courts and public gatherings. He had also spoken of attacking local Temples and railways stations, the NIA said.

The agency that probes terror cases in India also said that the Islamic State Khorasan Province's magazine, 'Voice of Khorasan' corroborated this entire incident in an article. " A message to the inhabitants in the land occupied by cow and mice worshipping filths where the Islamic State took responsibility for the attack held in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu," read the headline of the article. The article also goes on to state that the attack was Dire Revenge to uphold the honour of their religion.

The NIA further noted that Mubeen was aided and assisted by four of his associates, who helped in arranging logistics. One of them had sourced the Maruti 800, which was used in the attack, the NIA said.

To be sure, Mubeen had failed to hit the target and the explosive went off before the incident that he had planned.
