According to a report, a special group headed by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)'s Muzzamil Bhat from Sialkot in Pakistan and his lackeys made forays into Bangladesh, the Maldives and Sri Lanka between 2005 and 2007, knowing well that these areas could be used to further their agenda and to target India, reports The New Indian Express on May 7. The Indian state had been following Islamic militancy in Sri Lanka since 2004.The tipping point in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Sri-Lanka had LeT foot prints all over it. Muzzamil Bhat one of the planners of 26/11 and is reported to be the architect of the Chittisinghpora massacre. The entire construct of this planto use these countries as a launch pad to train terrorists was part of his larger architecture.The FBI in its 26/11 charge sheet named Bhat as D, a key LeT military commander, who was involved in the Chittisinghpora massacre in Jammu and Kashmir on the eve of President Bill Clinton's visit to India in March 2000. In its second chargesheet, filed in a Chicago court, the FBI named an ISI officer, Major Iqbal, and four LeT operatives - SajidMajeed, Abu Qahafa, Abu Alqama and the unknown Lashkar member 'D'. About 'D' the charge sheet states that after the arrest of Zaki-ur-RehmanLakhvi in Pakistan in connection with the 26/11 attacks, he became the overall operational commander of LeT. According to FBI, 'D', who is yet to be arrested by Pakistan, was a handler of David Coleman Headley. Headley told Indian investigators that Muzzamil was involved in the Chittisinghpora massacre. In turn, Headley also said Muzzamil was most trustworthy lieutenant of Lakhvi and apart from Chittisinghpora killings of Sikhs; he planned the Akshardham temple attack in September 2002.Bhat, on the other hand, is a planner and his understanding was that with Indian intelligence and security forces keeping a close vigil on southern India in those years, he reckoned that taking the training camps offshore would be a better idea. Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was already active in southern India, they had set up a southern chapter across the four states, while Bhatkal had become a new centrifuge.Muzzamil arrived in Sri Lanka and quickly realized that there was traction amongst Tamil Muslims after the Tsunami, and in Bangladesh among the Rohingyas between 2004-2008.But Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) which was extremely active in both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka did not allow Bhat or his henchmen to stabilize their operations. In 2011, ably abetted and assisted by Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) officer Amir Zubair Siddiqui (Counselor in the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo), a new name popped up on the radar - Zakir Hussain - who began to actively consort with and recruit Tamil Muslims on the island. The plan was to recruit them and attack diplomatic missions in Chennai and Bangalore, but RAW once again found the scent and pursued them to cut off their feed stock of financing, explosives and weapons.Once RAW had blown his cover, NIA moved in to charge sheet Siddiqui who was then visa counselor at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo. Siddiqui was arrested for allegedly conspiring to attack vital establishments in India and was quietly withdrawn before the NIA's request under Mutual Assistance Legal Treaty (MLAT) reached Colombo.The terror plot was uncovered after the NIA police personnel arrested an ISI agent Mohammed Zakir Hussain (37) through the 'Q' Branch of the Tamil Nadu police in 2013. The reason was that he was gathering details about vital installations in Tamil Nadu and sent photographs to Siddiqui. Hussain used his counterparts Sivabalan and Mohammad Salim to circulate Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in the state.During questioning, Hussain also confessed that he had also used Rafeeque (29) to pump in FICN in the state.A much larger network of Maldivians, Sri Lankan Muslims and Malaysian Tamils was discovered through this overarching probe.

Minister of Defence Mariya Ahmed Didi announced that Maldives recognises radicalism in any form as a major concern, and that preparation of its security services is underway for any potential dangers, reports The Hindu on May 12.Mariya Ahmed Didi stated that the radicalised locals that travel to partake in foreign wars leave the country under the pretence of visiting neighbouring countries, hence an official figure cannot be announced at the moment. On the number of Maldivian joining foreign wars, mostly in Syria, Didi said, "National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) receives statistics through families that report that their relatives have departed for war. The NCTC puts the current figure at 69, excluding women and children”. Didi on the issue of radicalisation said, “Religious radicalisation is addressed under the Religious Unity Act. Terrorism and violent extremism are addressed under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Two senior-level committees, the Counter Terrorism Steering Committee and the Counter Radicalisation Committee, ensure a whole-of-government and a whole-of-society approach to address this issue”.

Out of the 600 foreigners including 200 hardcore maulvis (Muslim religious preachers) deported by Colombo over the last week after the suicide bombings there, over a 100 were Indians, reports The Pioneer on May 13. They, along with those from Pakistan and Maldives, were suspected to be engaged in radicalisation in the Sri Lankan mosques. Sri Lankan authorities have identified about 1,200 such individuals who are being screened for terror links and depending upon antecedent verification more such clerics are likely to be deported to the respective countries. Besides the Indians, clerics from Pakistan and Maldives have also been deported in large numbers owing to their terror links that emerged after serial suicide bombings in Colombo on Sunday Easter last month that took a toll of over 250 persons including 11 Indians. Besides the 200 maulvis, the 400 other individuals are also suspected to have travelled on tourist visas but have been essentially been engaged in radical preachings, sources said. The revelation of the Indian maulvis in radicalisation activities in the island nation has set alarm bells ringing in the security establishment here as they apprehend the international terror groups might have developed a hub of such transnational radical preachers in the country. The deportations began on May 14 after the Sri Lankan authorities informed the respective foreign missions on the issue. By May 16, the 600 such radicals were deported to the respective countries. Pakistani clerics have infiltrated the mosques in the region including in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Maldives and even in some of the ASEAN countries. These clerics are being exploited by the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for the larger design of implementing state agenda of sponsoring terror in the neighborhood, sources said.

Over the past five years, dozens of Maldivians joined militant groups fighting in Syria and Iraq. The authorities estimate the current figure at 69, excluding women and children.
