Jihadis cheat bosses, pocket terror funds

[Green Hornet]

MUMBAI: Can dedicated jihadis involved in acts of terrorism also be selfish cheats out to line their own pocket? The answer seems to be a resounding yes going by the investigations into several bomb blast cases in the country. Not only foot-soldiers but even the top brass of the banned outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) have duped their foreign-based handlers of lakhs of rupees. Money meant to fund terror activities or recruit new operatives was on many occasion siphoned off and used for 'personal benefit'.

"The latest example was slain terror suspect Qateel Siddiqui who was murdered in Pune's Yerwada jail on June 8. He was paid Rs one lakh to enlist new faces into IM. However, when we questioned him about the use of money, he was reluctant to reply. On sustained interrogation, he admitted that he had spent the money on two girls, and that the IM top functionaries were unaware about it," said an officer in the state's anti-terrorism squad (ATS) who personally questioned him. Siddiqui was accused in the 2011 Delhi Jama Masjid firing case and the 2010 Chinnaswamy stadium blast case. "Siddiqui told us that he was not interested in following IM's ideology but was more interested in getting funds for his personal use. He had even opposed several programmes of IM," the officer added.

Bhatkal invested funds in realty

Among the more interesting stories about such self-serving mercenary terrorists is that of IM's Indian chief Yaseen Bhatkal alias Shahrukh. "Several suspects caught recently told us that Bhatkal wanted to become a developer," said the ATS officer. "To begin with, he invested Rs 14 lakh in an under-construction project in Nalasopara. The money had been routed to him by his foreign-based mentors in early 2010 to take care of the legal expenses of the IM members who were in jail. Nobody knew what he did with the money. We have learned that he was interested in investing more money in other projects. Perhaps the founder-members of IM and those who control the outfit's reins trust Bhatkal blindly," said the officer.

Bhatkal, who is wanted in the German Bakery bomb blast case, the 13/7 triple blasts, the Delhi arms factory case and the Jama Masjid firing among others, allegedly oversees all IM operations in India. He has been able to dodge the police twice in the past. He even spent some time in a jail but police could not recognize him.

The money is sent to IM operatives in India by the outfit's fund-raising members based either in Pakistan or the UAE through hawala.

Similar is the case of Mirza Himayat Baig, the lone arrested suspect in the German Bakery blast that killed 17. Baig attended a conspiracy meeting along with IM leader and accused Zabihuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal and Fayyaz Kagzi in Colombo prior to the blast. Later, he was sent Rs 12.5 lakh for the terror 'mission'. While he used Rs 10 lakh on operational expenses, the remaining Rs 2.5 lakh went towards paying off his various debts. "Most IM operatives use this modus operandi since there is no accountability where money is concerned in the outfit. The top functionaries are bothered only about operations. The money does not come out of their pockets and hence they do not care to keep tabs on it," said the officer.

Do not blame your woes on us, silly Indian. Your Indian state does not provide Muslims full rights, so instead they go on a bombing campaign. Look at the pathetic state of Muslims in India, especially Kashmir, even though that occupied territory is Muslim majority. There's only 2% enrollment for 15% of the population for Indian Muslims? The numbers remain under ten in government jobs too. According to what Indians tell me, I'd expect the percentages to be higher than 10% atleast? Just look at the comments on the ToI article you pulled up, just further backs up my comment.

Indian terrorist are CORRUPT. Now why am I not surprised ?

How does it matter if terrorists are corrupt or not? Is being a terrorist OK but being a corrupt not OK? Now why I am not surprised by the growing incidents of killing in Pakistan?

It is common knowledge that funds sent for these jihadis are misused for personal gain.

Ask any terrorist apprehended in Kashmir and he'll tell you that the so called 'fighting for the cause of Kashmir and Kashmiri Muslims' is all nonsense, a facade and a pack of lies being propagated about Kashmiri genocide etc. They admit that there's nothing in Kashmir like what is being portrayed by the terrorist honchos, brainwashing them before they are infiltrated from across the border. They're pretty surprised when they land up in Kashmir to find there's no so called 'genocide', and that things are pretty normal and that's when they get to know the cruel joke being played on them by their handlers across the border.

In other words, most of them realize that they've been had!

Therefore, most of the funds they get for terror activities are used by them for personal gain. They prefer to remain in the background and avoid clashes with the Security Forces as they know it's not worth dying for a non existent 'cause'.

That's the truth and nothing but the truth.

You can go and compare muslims with others worldwide and you will arrive to a point that muslims lag in every field everywhere. Its their fault only, clearly muslims do not have modern education at the top in their minds, they themselves are responsible for their sorry state. Muslims are in a habit of blaming their poor state on others rather than working hard and earn their place in the world. So stop posting your discrimination BS for once.

At the cost of going off topic..

If the the reasons mentioned above are to blame for a ' bombing campaign', none of these exist in Pakistan.

The enrollment is entirely Muslim.

Govt jobs also go to Muslims.

Muslims have full rights..

Wonder why more bombs go off in Pakistan than India ?

Muslim majority states are doing better than India.. Shows a thousand words, who does better governance and who does not. For example, the Muslim president you had was probably the best you've had in 65 years...

Maybe its the Indian stte which des not provide proper education to their Muslims thats why they go on a bombing campaign?

Almost all Muslim countries barring a few are in turmoil, there's insurgencies, terrorism, sectarian violence, killings, genocide, piracy, springs, Talibanisation - wonder why.

Bombing happens by TTP and al-Qaeda all of which are foreign, while IM is all Indian Muslim... Just shows.

India is in all of what you mention

If that is so, why do you not find Hindus or other religious minorities blowing people up in India?

It would be extremely ungrateful if the Muslim community of India were to say that they are marginalised. When in actual fact, the entire country revolves around them and the need to help them integrate and not alienate them.

Yes, the terror masters abroad work on poverty as fertile ground for indoctrination.

But there are more poor and destitute Hindus in India than Muslims.

Always remember that.
