The SIMI swoop

On their hitlist were L.K. Advani and Narendra Modi

Several among the 18 activists of the banned Students' Islamic Movement of India (simi) who were held following the Intelligence-mounted swoop in Indore and other parts of MP have reportedly told police that their targets this time were BJP leaders L K Advani and Narendra Modi. Their provocation: the Babri Masjid demolition and the post-Godhra riots that, according to the fanatics, the saffron parivar “facilitated”. The prime catch is Safdar Nagori, who led SIMI’s operations in MP and whose name figures in nearly every major bomb blast to have rocked the country in recent times. Equally significant is the nabbing of the feared Shivli, the outfit’s Kerala chief, and Hafiz Hussain, who had charge of Karnataka.

All of them, say the Intelligence sleuths, had also played a key role in planning and executing the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts. Just now police teams from several states, including Kerala, Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana, are probing other possible targets on the immediate SIMI to-do list.
