Terror plan in Delhi foiled: Kupwara man held from Gorakhpur, AK56, grenades, explosive seized from Jama Masjid hotel

“After the meeting, Ghazi Nasiruddin, a senior commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, and Farooq Qureshi informed Shah that he had been chosen to supervise young fidayeen recruits who would commit terrorist strikes in Delhi,” said the officer.



This is the 18th module of Hizbul to be smashed in Delhi between 2001 and 2013 and 28 terrorists have been arrested so far. The last module was busted in 2011.

Shah, who made talismans, entered the world of militancy in 1993 after the killing of his elder brother in a terror strike.

“Shah was also involved in an encounter in 1994. After that he fled and became a commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen. In 1997 he went to Pakistan and got training there. He is wanted in a 2011 case in Kashmir,” said the officer.
