Sharp shooters being trained to target Narendra Modi: IB
NEW DELHI : Indian Mujahideen and the Lashkar-e-Tayiba are jointly working on a plan to eliminate BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. This revelation was made by Intelligence Bureau officials after intercepting calls of the terrorist groups.
The IB says all the public appearances by Narendra Modi have been placed under very high alert. According to the plan hatched by the Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Tayiba, they are not only looking to carrying out a blast, but have also assigned the job to three sharp shooters as well.
Indian Mujahideen operative Hyder Ali Shaqoor is said to have been assigned the task, sources said. In fact, a team has even been sent to Nepal as it is suspected that the sharp shooters would enter India through that route. There are three sharp shooters of Pakistani origin working for the Lashkar and IM which are under the scanner at the moment.
Intercepts suggest that they may try and enter into India as the election heat intensifies and Narendra Modi would address more and more rallies. Hyder Ali is also said to be using the services of some former SIMI cadres for the job.
Abu Faisal a SIMI operative who had recently escaped from the Khandwa Jail in Madhya Pradesh on October 1 was allegedly in touch with several operatives before he was captured again on December 24th.
He is said to have contacted members of the Hizbul Mujahideen and also the Tehrik-e-Taliban to assist the IM in this job.
