National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered a case against around 7-8 youths hailing from Kerala and Karnataka but based in Qatar who travelled to or prepared for travel to Syria since 2013 to join terrorist outfits Jund al-Aqsa (JAA) and Jabhat-ul-Nusra, reports The Hindu on January 9. Jund al-Aqsa, a militant group operating primarily in Idlib and Hama provinces of Syria, was proscribed in 2017 by the UN for being associated with the Islamic State (IS) and Al Qaida in Iraq.The youths are believed to have been radicalised while living in Qatar and had conducted preparations for or travelled to Syria from 2013 onwards. NIA officials stated that ongoing investigation into other cases involving youth from Kerala who had attempted to or joined IS, threw up information on these Qatar-based youth having joined terrorist groups other than IS in Syria. “NIA is aware of the identity and addresses of these youth. However, it is not clear how the youth travelled to Syria and if they are still alive or dead’. In past instances, youth from Kerala have travelled to Syria via two routes. First, travelling to Turkey by flight and then crossing the border illegally to reach Syria, and second, taking a flight to a Gulf country and then travelling to Iran from where they travel to Turkey by road before crossing over to Syria. JAA is comprised of approximately 1,600 militants, mostly foreign terrorist fighters.

Sabir is an accused in the Kalamassery bus burning case, the trial of which will commence at the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) court soon, reports The New Indian Express on May 7. “We’ve information that he’s frequently travelling between Dubai and Rawalpindi using a Pakistani passport. As he’s holed up in Pakistan, like Indian Mujahideen (IM) founder Riyaz Bhatkal and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, extraditing him to India is a daunting task,” an officer said. A native of Marakkarkandi in Kannur, Sabir left India for Dubai when agencies started a manhunt for the suspects having links with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) after four Keralites were killed in Kashmir in an encounter with security forces in 2008.He along with ThadiyantavidaNazeer were the main men for LeT in south India. While Nazeer was traced to a hideout in Bangladesh, Sabir fled to Dubai using a fake passport. “During an interrogation of a terror suspect in 2016, we got information that Sabir met some Keralities in Dubai. From there he moved to Pakistan,” an officer said.Sabir came on the agencies’ radar after he allegedly hatched a plot to murder former Chief Minister E K Nayanar in 1999.A lookout notice and Interpol red corner notice are pending against him.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Court in Kochi (Ernakulam District of Kerala) on July 9 resumed trial against Subahani Haja Moideen, who allegedly fought for Islamic State (IS) in Iraq in 2015, reports The New Indian Express. The NIA Court examined a witness in the case registered against Subahani Haja Moideen. Though the trial in the case was started at NIA Court last year (2018), it was postponed as witness examination in Kanakamala IS case was progressing. There are 55 witnesses in the case. It was during the investigation into the Kanakamala IS case that the NIA traced out Subahani who allegedly joined and fought for IS at Mosul in 2015. However, after witnessing the death of a co-fighter on the war front, he returned to India.
