Indore, Jun 9 (Bhasker News) : SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India) activist Zakir Hussain (26) during his interrogation by a team of Intelligence Bureau and Madhya Pradesh Police has reportedly confessed that the banned outfit had plans for several terror attacks in the country including assassination of the judges who gave the Ayodhya verdict.

The SIMI activist revealed that the judges on the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court, who gave the Ayodhya verdict were on their hitlist. SIMI was apparently unhappy with the Ayodhya verdict and had planned to kill those on the bench that gave the decision.

They said that they had rented a house in Lucknow and had taken photographs and all details of the judges.

Zakir is believed to have told the authorities that ever since the arrest of 13 of its activists on March 27, 2008, SIMI had been regrouping for unleashing a series of attacks.

Zakir and Mohammed Farhat Khan (21) were arrested last Friday by the police after a shootout in Ratlam in which an ATS constable was killed and two others were injured. Zakir was also shot and was admitted in Indore’s MY Hospital.

Zakir also revealed that he along with his accomplices had planned to escape to Afghanistan and operate terror attacks in India from there.

The cops are now in search for two women and a man, Abrar, who were allegedly involved with Zakir.
