Terror Networks
Three Harkat runners apprehended in India
2002-02-16
  • Three suspected activists of Harkat-e-Jehadi Islami (HUJI) have been arrested in connection with the January 22 attack on American Center in Kolkata. A large quantity of arms and ammunition was recovered from them. Inamul Haq Banarasi, Asad Ahmed Munshi and Hussain Ahmed, who were acting as facilitators and contact persons for ISI and terrorists, were apprehended. Banarasi and Munshi had made several trips to Pakistan and visited ISI-run training camps there. The three were associated with Aftab Ansari, "mastermind" of the Kolkata attack and had ferried arms and ammunition for the terrorists who carried out the assault.

    The three were arrested on the basis of disclosures by six terrorists - five Pakistanis and one Bangladeshi - held by Delhi Police in the capital last week. They are being interrogated about other links of their network and communications with their mentors in Pakistan.
    That's a pretty nice development, as it shows they're backtracking the line. It goes into Pakland, though, which means they have to trace each line individually, rather than cutting off the head of the snake. What's interesting is how pedestrian the "masterminds" turn out to be - Moriarty, if he had existed, would be turning over in his grave.
