Bangalore, Feb 11: Even as confusion looms large over the death of Shahid Bilal, India's most wanted terrorist, a close aide of his has revealed that Bilal along with Abu Hamza had planned the attack on the Indian Institute of Science.

A narco analysis test conducted on Abdul Sattar, a resident of Hyderabad now in custody of the cops, revealed that Hamza is a Jaish-e-Mohammed operative and he had jointly planned the IISC attack along with Bilal.

This information could come in handy for the Bangalore police who have finally made some headway in the IISC case.

On Sunday an alleged militant by the name Sabahuddin was picked up at Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. According to the interrogation conducted on Nasir, the militant arrested in Karnataka, it was revealed that Sabahuddin had assisted Abu Hamza in the IISC attack.

Sattar claimed during the test that he had met Bilal in 2004 at a training camp in Pakistan.

Over there he read Bilal's diary which had specifically mentioned the plot regarding the IISC attack.

Sattar also said that apart from this, Bilal had also planned to attack some software companies in Bangalore.

Sattar also made certain startling revelations regarding Bilal's plans for Hyderabad.

Among the targets mentioned in Bilal's list were the city police commissioner's office, software companies and a flyover.

Sattar also said that Abu Hamza, the mastermind behind the IISC attack was involved along with Bilal in the Mecca Masjid blasts.

The Hyderabad police now have a common person to chase along with the Bangalore police.

The Hyderabad police will also interrogate Sabahuddin as he is believed to close to Abu Hamza.

Through Sabahuddin, both the Hyderabad and Bangalore police will look for information leading up to Abu Hamza.

The information regarding Sabahuddin was given to the police by Nasir who was arrested in Karnataka recently.

Nasir revealed that Sabahuddin had assisted Abu Hamza in the IISC attack and it was the latter who opened fire in which one person was killed.

    Dear readers, please note that the version that I quoted in my previous comment should be corrected as Qur'an 5:32 instead of 32:5. It was a typing mistake and I am thankful to Mr. Firoz Abdul Samad for enlightning me in this regard.

    Whenever I read such news, it is heartbreaking to read Muslim names, because it is the duty of every Muslim to strive hard for a peaceful society to be established. The problem with these people is the lack of religious knowledge, for which I am sure some so called Muslim scholars are responsible.

    If a person understands the Holy Qur’an and the biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him), he cannot even think of harming a living creature without any valid reason. Most of the times these innocent people become the prey of politicians or their leaders, who want to gain power through them.

    I didn’t mean that all of them are innocents, but a large percentage are the victim of these politicians and corporate giants. Islam opposes any form of violence. The Qur'an states: "If someone kills another person-unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth-it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind." (32:5) Attacking civilians, women, children, and the elderly by blowing up oneself is absolutely forbidden in Islam.

    No excuse can be made for such crimes committed and anyone who tries to make excuses for these is ignorant of Islamic law (shari'ah) and their excuses are a result of extremism and ignorance. Any Muslim who believes in God with a sincere heart, who thoroughly abides by His verses and fears suffering in the Hereafter, will avoid harming even an animal.

    He should know that the Lord of Infinite Justice will suitably reward him for all his deeds. Terrorists listen to their whims and desire for violence and they become loveless and violent who easily hurt others without any pain. Having no fear of God, they do not know the morality of religion, nor do they practice it. Nothing can stop them from committing crimes. Oh God, please save the world from these terrorists.
