Threat of Jihad and Kerala
The Country of the God is the most treasured hub of terrorist. December 6, 1997 when a bomb blasted in Alappey express train in Trissur, there were uproar to nab terror links. The bombs seized form different parts of northern Kerala had similarity with the Attacks on RSS offices in Chennai and the bombings at the residence of Manirathnam, the legendary director of patriotic movies like Bombay and Roja.
A decade down the line Terrorism has grown and flourished in Kerala. Though Madani was let off free in the meticulously planned Coimabtore blasts; there were many other Malayalees who were convicted among the 152 found guilty. What to say about C.A.M Basheer who was the most active member of the 2003 Bombay blasts
Kozhkodite Yahya Kamakutty( a REC Calicut product), a Simi activist who was an Ex IT Professional (Wipro and GE) was arrested from his rented house in Bangalore with a lot of information about terror plots. Over a period of time, Yahya came in contact with Adnan, one of the prominent SIMI leaders in south India. Adnan, a resident of Bijapur used to stay with his brother at Annasandrapalya in Bangalore. Yahya's links to north Karnataka began after his introduction to Adnan. Yahya came in contact with the now arrested terror suspects Mohammed Asif, Asaduallah Abubaker, Shakeel Ahmed and Allabaksh, all active SIMI members, and Riyazuddin Nasir alias Mohammed Ghouse, a Pakistan trained Lashkar-e-Taiba activist. His network expanded after he attended the meetings organised by Adnan and his associates in north Karnataka in 2007.
Another terrorist from Erattupetta of Kottayam district Shibi Peediackal Abdul was arrested from Indore, MP who was the mastermind in the 2006 Mumbai Train serial blasts . Shibi is believed to have participated in a conclave of SIMI members at Ujjain from July 4-7, 2006, where plans to revitalise the `jihad` in india were discussed. Several members of the cell which executed the Mumbai serial bombings later participated in it.
In 2006 at a small place in Panayikulam, Eranakulam(Happy Auditorium) a few SIMI people were caught on a secret meeting .One of them was Shibi. His brother Shaduli, Shamaz, Anzaar Maulavi ,Nizzamudin,Abdul rafeeq and Radhid, a teacher by profession were few among 18 terrorists caught. They were remanded under police custody. An MLA went and met them in Jail five days after this. Afterwards case was falsified and all of them escaped. Later they trained around 40 armed terriorts in Thangal para,Vagamon of Iduukki district
Ironically Anzar Maulavi and Saduli were caught after the Jaipur Blasts.
There are reports that there are 100 SIMI activists who got training like the Army are involved actively in Kerala, this has come out from the Intelligence Bureau. Last year MP police destroyed one SIMI training camp and caught 13 activists from Cheraal near to Bhopal. Here activist from Kerala also got trainingalong with the people from Jharkhand and Karnataka .While destroying the camp police seized 122 gelatin sticks and 100 detonators .The Pak terrorists who were arrested in Kumali Market of Idukki district few months back have intensified the need for stringent laws to tackle terror.
Coming back to Bangalore blasts, initial investigation proved that it had similarity with the blasts of 2006 at the municipal Bus stations, Kozikode. Later there are unconfirmed reports that two malayalees are arrested in Bangalore. TOI reported that Kerala police are on the lookout for truck laden with explosives which they believe entered the state on July 26.This truck is supposed to have gone from Mangalore. Later there has been a look out at the cyber stations. The “e-Mail”s which was opened in different parts of Kerala by four people intensifies the depth and reach of their growth and participation in the Bangalore and Ahamadabad blasts. Mudikkal Palipparambil Ismael from Perumbavoor who was dismissed form Kerala Police earlier is allegedly being interrogated in the Bangalore blasts. Reports suggest terrorists linked to this plot, hide in many places in Kerala and Lakswadeep.
The costal districts of Kasargod, Kozikkode, Malappuram and Eranakulam have become a hub for anti national elements. Defense Minister A.K Antony confirmed of such a threat. Last year weapons including AK 47s were seized in Cochin Shipyard. There has been a huge amount of bogus money flowing into the state which is diverted to terrorism and business. . This month, Police arrested .Jihadi- Communist leader K M Shamsudeen with fake Indian currency notes. CPM's regional leader carrying fake currency notes with a face value of Rs 100,000 was taken into custody from State Bank of India (SBI) at Ambalamedu in Ernakulam. Fake currencies printed in London by Pakistan's ISI reaches India via Middle East and is smuggled to Kerala by the traitor Jihadi's- No Matter their Political affiliation
The fake phone call threats could just be an idea to divert attention. The criminal politicians of Kerala should realize the intensity of their unholy alliances .The next target could be Guruvaoor, Vadakkum Natha Temple or Shabarimala. The National Security Advisor to the PM, M.K.Narayanan had himself rushed to Guruyavoor to convey this last year.
Let’s closely watch how Achudanandan deals with this. Should he understand the gravity of the situation, people of my state would be on a safer side!
