Investigation agencies have finds aspiring terrorists of India relying mostly on "Do It Yourself"
(DIY) manuals available on internet. The manuals have become an instant
hit with aspiring terrorists, oneindia.com
reports on May 5.
While in Bengaluru,
Church Street blasts case, it was
found that the accused had relied
on a 'do it yourself' manual shared
with him on WhatsApp, the same
has been found during the probe launched
by the Delhi Police after the arrest
of alleged Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)
operatives. The similarity between
the probe in Delhi with the Church
Street blasts is that both accused
had allegedly relied on 'do it yourself'
manuals to prepare bombs.
It is a highly circulated
manual on WhatsApp. The accused
in the Churchstreet blasts case was
in possession of one such manual he
had received from a group on WhatsApp.
Even in the Delhi case, a similar
modus operandi has been found.
These persons who were part of a group
had received the manual on to prepare
the bombs.They were referring to
the same and managed to prepare one
bomb.
However, during the making of
the second bomb, it misfired and one
of them ended up burning his hand.
An Intelligence Bureau (IB) official
said that it is extremely difficult
to keep a tab on everything and anything
that goes on in WhatsApp groups. Yes it has become problematic and
material is too easily available.
These manual provide step by step
instructions on how to prepare a bomb,
the officer also says. It is not necessary
that the same manual is in circulation
throughout the country. Various terrorist
groups especially the al Qaeda and
the Islamic State (IS) have prepared
similar manuals and circulated it
around not just in India, but also
the rest of the world, the officer
also informed.
