Militants Using People Whove Never Been To Pak, Enlisting From Target Locations

Mumbai: New strategies being used by terror bosses across the border have Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) and Mumbai police worried, because tracking local suspects is becoming harder.
One of the new modus operandi appears to be using people who have never before travelled to Pakistan or the Middle East. The latest arrests Abdul Latif Rashid, 29, and Riyaz Ali Imtiaz, 23 were allegedly told that they would be taken to Pakistan after they committed acts of terror in Mumbai.
Another strategy appears to involve enlisting people already employed at targeted locations, so that getting past security becomes easier. While Latif worked in the vicinity of Mangaldas Market in Kalbadevi, one of the alleged targets, Riyaz worked at Thakkar Mall in Borivli, another target. The duo had also allegedly wanted to access ONGC headquarters at Bandra (East) with the help of a class IV worker employed there. Latif and his brother-in-law Riyaz were arrested by ATS on March 13 for conspiring to set fire at locations across the city. Latif was working near Mangaldas Market and Riyaz was working at Thakkar Mall. The duo had also wanted to take the help of an ONGC employee to enter the firms premises. The handlers are now focusing on people who have easy access to targeted locations, said an officer.
Not long ago, any terror probe would start with cops swooping down on people with a history of travelling to Pakistan or the Middle East, especially, Dubai. Now, things are not so easy. The handlers are looking at youths who have not travelled to any country and dont have a police record. Our job is getting more difficult, said the officer.

Sources in the security establishment said that the police are struggling to contact the grassroots of terror modules. In this case, the men arrested did not have any prior criminal record. The other six who were offered training in Pakistan also did not have a record, said the officer.
Officers are banking on help from youths who decline terror jobs and offers to travel to Pakistan. In the present case, two such youths have already given statements to the police. We were lucky that one of these boys approached a police contact and alerted us about the plan, said an officer.
The police also cannot afford to alienate an entire community by detaining people at will. (Really
) An officer said, We dont know whom to put under surveillance. We cannot just summon hundreds of people for questioning. We have decided that we will convince youths not to take up extremism, but to help us. It is most important that the police reach such youths beforehand and ask them to be moderate.
An officer involved in the investigation said, The handlers had sent money to make passports and lured Latif by saying he would be paid Rs 5 lakh for five youths. They had also spoken about the route the youths would take to Pakistan. They would fly to Dubai and then to Pakistan.
