TIMES NOW has acquired a CD recovered from arrested LeT militants, which confirms for the first time that Maulana Masood Azhar, the leader of the Jaish-e-Mohammad who is based out of Pakistan, has embarked on a war against India. In the CD, Maulana Masood Azhar who was freed by the government in exchange for hostages during the IC 814 hijacking, is exhorting young men to rise up in arms and join the 'jihad' against India. The CD contains provocative speeches, lectures, literature and visuals to motivate minorties into joining the LeT. The CD was recovered by the Gujarat police on Tuesday (September 19) after they busted a Laskar-e-Taiba cell and arrested four men - Illiyas Memon, Khalid Kashmiri, Kari Mufidul and Sirajuddin Ansari from Surat and Ahmedabad.
This is not the first time that such propaganda CDs have been recovered by authorities — there have been several instances of 'motivational' CDs, circulated by Lashkar-e-Toiba militants operating in the Kashmir valley, being seized by J&K police.
