Riyaz Bhatkal News
Three Indian Mujahideen activists were sentenced to life imprisonment by a court here for making explosives and conspiring with the outfit's founder Riyaz Bhatkal to carry out terror attacks here and other places in the country.
A special NIA court on Monday said that all the five convicts including Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal will be hanged.
The twin blasts in Dilsukhnagar area in Hyderabad on February 21, 2013, claimed 19 lives and injured over 130 people.
A day after Yasin Bhatkal and four others were convicted for their role in twin blasts in Hyderabad's Dilsukhnagar locality in 2013, it has now emerged that terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) co-founder, who is believed to be prime accused and mastermind, is holed up in Karachi under the patronage of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Once known in intelligence circles as the breeding ground of the homegrown Indian Mujahideen (IM) terror outfit, Karnataka`s small coastal town of Bhatkal, a tourist destination with a lot of history, is unfortunately now being seen in the security establishment to be emerging as a possible incubator of the Islamic State`s Indian terror module after a string of arrests from the town and nearby areas in the southern state.
