Ghori's IMMM inspired Indian Mujahideen formation?

By Udumula Sudhakar Reddy
Anti-terror experts have claimed that the Indian Mujahideen was formed with the inspiration of AP’s Jihadi leader Azam Ghori’s Indian Muslim Mohammedi Mujahideen (IMMM).
Ghori, who was allegedly trained by the Taliban in Afghanistan, was killed in an encounter in 2000 at Jagityal in Karimnagar.
The IMMM was responsible for several blasts in the state at the behest of the Laskhar-E-Tayyaba (LeT). A senior police officer said, “We strongly suspect that hardcore activists of Simi, who floated the IM, were inspired by the IMMM.
The group was involved in four murders and exploding bombs in three cinema halls at Begumpet, Nizamabad and Karimnagar in 2000.” He added, “Ghori closely worked with another terror operative Abu Hamza. Ghori, who served the Peoples War Group, was injured in an encounter and took shelter in Saudi Arabia. He was recruited by the LeT and trained in Afghanistan.” In an earlier case, 16 IMMM operatives were convicted in a conspiracy case and sentenced to life for murdering businessman Mahaveer Prasad Modi in the city.
Meanwhile, Raziuddin Naser, son of Moulana Naseeruddin, the former chief of TTSEI, had confessed that he opted to fight US soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. According to sources in the police headquarters, Naser’s offer was rejected by his handlers in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
A police officer said, “Naser, who went to Saudi Arabia, left for Pakistan and received training in bomb making along with DJS chief Mehboob Ali’s grandson Najiullah. He came here in June 2007 and after the twin explosions fled to Hubli.” A city police officer probing the twin blasts said, “Naser was arrested in Hubli by Honnali police. Now the investigations are leading to Hubli and Udupi in Karnataka where the bombs were prepared. Now we have to verify all these links.”
