NEW DELHI, NOV. 4: A sensational report under an in-depth study by the Union Home Ministry: Hyderabad, capital city of Andhra Pradesh, has turned out to be one of the major centres in India for recruitment by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Terrorists based in Hyderabad have been involved in jihad in faraway battlefields, like Jammu and Kashmir, Bosania and Chechnya, for the past few years.
There is sufficient evidence with the government in relation to what official sources termed as "yet another fact"--that is, Hyderabad has already emerged as a safe haven for activities of various Islamic militant outfits. Hyderabad Task Force (HTF) is reported to have informed the Union Home Ministry that many youth recruited by the ISI from the twin cities of Secunderabad and Hyderabad are being engaged in jihad in Chechnya, Bosnia and other hotspots apart from undercover activities within India.
Hyderabad Commissioner of Police has also informed the Union Home Minstry that ISI agents have of late gone underground, but they have not abandoned their activities. The mastermind behind the none-too-old Mumbai twin explosions, Nisar, alias Abdul Rehman Ayded, and his asociate Habeeb Hasan, were from Hyderabad and had srong roos in he old city (Secunderabad), a "shelter zone" for ISI agents.
Members of Hyderabad-based sleeper cells of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were "involved" in major terorist strikes, including the Mumbai twin explosions. According to a report with the government, during the arrest of the killers of Gujarat's former Home Minister, Haren Pandya, the Hyderabad police had found that scores of Hyderabadis were being recruited by the ISI.
One Mohammed Rauf, a resident of Saidabad in Hyderabad's south zone, a recruitng agent, was arested in conection with the Pandya killing. And Rauf was reported to have recruited more than 100 youth from Hyderabad for militant outfits. Not long ago, seven Kasshmiris of the Hizbul Mujahideen and three Hyderabad-based ISI agents were arrested.
The ISI started using Hyderabad in 1992, after the demoliton of the Babri Masjid. According to an offical document, Mujeeb Ahmed of the Hizbul Mujahideen, a native of Sanga Reddy near Hyderabad, who was trained in Jammu and Kashmir, kille additional superintendent of police (intelligence), Krishna Prasad, during a raid on a hideout on November 29, 1992.
The document reveals that three Kashmir militants of the Iqwan-ul-Muslimeen, trained in Pakistan, were, in 1993, arrested in Hyderabad. Since then the vicinity of Hyderabad as well as the old city (Secunderabad) witnessed a phenomenal growth in the activities of various Islamic militant outfits.
