explosion of 29September which injured dozens of tourists including 2 Britons on honeymoon is linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives in India, says The Hidhu an online edition of India’s National Newspaper.According to The Hindhu, Moosa Inas, a Laamu atoll resident charged with having triggered the explosive device which went off in Male’s Sultan Park on September 29, had traveled to Thiruvananthapuram in December 2005. Inas arrived in Kerala on a flight through Colombo, and then crossed the India-Pakistan border at Attari and went to the seminary known as Jamia Salafiyya in Faisalabad.
The Article in The Hindhu says the material and the design of bomb is similar to those that were detonated recently in Ajmeer and in Hyderabaad.
Maldives Police say at least 10 key operatives, including computer engineer Abdul Latheef Ibrahim and Ali Shameem, have fled to Pakistan. Both were on a watch list of suspects the Maldives government believed was preparing to receive training at Islamist facilities in Pakistan. Moosa Inas, however, was deported from Colombo along with another suspect, Ahmed Naseer, before they could catch connecting flights to Karachi reports the online edition of India’s national newspaper, The Hindhu.
According to joint Maldives US team investigating the Sultan Park detonation, Moosa Inaz traveled to Dubai in 2006. A growing mass of evidence suggests that Lashkar cadre in India was in contact with the extremist group in Maldives.
A Maldivian national arrested in Kerala in April 2005, told investigators that he had been tasked with the setting up of a support unit for a new Maldives-based terror group. Asif Ibrahim’s contacts had hoped that bomb components would be easily obtained in Maldives.
India’s intelligence services warned last year of efforts by the Karachi-based Dawood Ibrahim Kaksar to set up operations in Maldives through a Dubai-based firm, Dolphin Management Services reports The Hindhu.
