The interrogation of Mohammad Tariq Anjum Hasan, 34, founder member of Indian Mujahideen, has revealed that the Jama Masjid attack of September 19, 2010, in which two Taiwanese tourists were injured and a car explosion took place, was planned at his residence in Bihar. Sources claimed that Yasin Bhatkal alias Shahrukh, believed to be the India chief of IM, was part of the planning. Tariq has provided fresh details of the Jama Masjid operation, although eight IM members who were part of the attack are already in custody.
Tariq, sources said, has provided names of at least 15 IM members settled in Bihar's Darbhanga district, Bhatkal in Karnataka and Unnao in Uttar Pradesh. Police have procured non-bailable warrants against these 15 suspects.
