Kerala fountainhead of Islamist terror: NIA
Sunday, 12 August 2012 12:01
VR Jayaraj | Thiruvananthapuram
Gods Own Country is the fountainhead of most of the Islamist terror operations in the country, according to the NIA. Several Islamist organisations like outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) were operating in Kerala in bogus names, observed the investigating agencys South Zone Coordination conference in Thiruvananthapuram the other day.
Religious extremism has spread its roots in Kerala through hawala networks and its presence is strong in northern Kerala districts such as Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikode and Malappuram, says the agency. The meeting also observed that there were indications that roots of extremism could have penetrated into the States police force.
Several disturbing developments like the leakage of classified information pertaining to e-mail surveillance by the Intelligence wing from the Police Headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram in January last indicated that the extremist network was strongly present in Kerala, the meeting observed. Investigations found that a Sub-Inspector of police was responsible for the leakage.
The extremists strategy was to plan their operations in Kerala for implementing elsewhere in the country. They were reluctant to operate directly in Kerala mainly because of the strong presence of the watchful media but an explosion in extremist operations in the State in not-so-distant future could not be ruled out, officials said in the NIA conference.
The agency is of the opinion that the information leakage from the Police Headquarters to a media organisation run by an outfit with alleged Islamist postures in the email surveillance scandal was the result of a conspiracy with international connections. The incident is being seen as an attempt to establish the foundations of extremism in Kerala society by using the media
