Nagori has crucial clues to Ahmedabad blasts?


The Ahmedabad police will begin questioning SIMI chief Safdar Nagori on Tuesday exactly a month after the Ahmedabad serial blasts.

The police are hoping to get vital leads from Nagori who was arrested by the Madhya Pradesh police in March this year and brought to Ahmedabad on Sunday.

The police believe Nagori was aware of the plots to bomb both Ahmedabad and Bangalore.

Since his arrest earlier this year in Madhya Pradesh along with key SIMI leaders he has been passed around by investigators in Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai and now Ahmedabad undergoing multiple interrogations and narco-analyses.

Investigators claim he has already confessed to his role in planning revenge attacks against those behind communal riots, a decision that Nagori says resulted in a split in SIMI between hardliners led by him and the moderates.

Nagori is said to have told investigators that in a meeting in Ujjain last year the hardliners ''decided to target individuals who perpetrated atrocities against Muslims during the communal riots of Meerut, Babri Masjid, Gujarat ".

To work towards that Nagori claims to have confessed to organising camps in Choral in Madhya Pradesh,Wagamon in Kerala, Dharwad in Karnataka and in Halol near Baroda.

Those who participated were trained in pistol shooting, air gun shooting, bike riding and making petrol bombs.

Investigators believe that it was in the camps that some of the Ahmedabad accused like Abdul Bashar and maybe even the Jaipur blasts accused underwent training.

"Inquiries establish that a camp was conducted in Kerala, another in Dharwad in Karnataka and in Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Further investigations are on,'' said Abhay Chudasama, DCP, Ahmedabad Crime Branch.
