Indian terrorist group top operative claims Nepal key hub


KATHMANDU, Jan 30, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Top operative of Indian Mujahideen(IM)--an infamous terrorist group based in India--Danish Ansari has claimed that Nepal has become the biggest hub for pumping fake currency into India, The Asian Age reported Wednesday.



The IM was declared a terrorist organization by the Indian government on 2010 and is recognized for carrying out several attacks against civilian targets in India. On the same year, New Zealand also tagged the villainous group as terrorists, followed by US terrorist tag in September last year.

During a custodial interrogation by the Indian National Intelligence Agency after his arrest a week ago, Ansari revealed that Nepal has become the biggest hub for IM operatives.


It has been also reported that many IM cadres has shifted their base to Nepal and are operating from hideouts near the Indo-Nepal border following a major crackdown on the outfit in the recent past.

Responding to a Xinhua query, Nepal's District Police Office in Birgunj--bordering Nepali town with India--denied elaborating on Ansari's claim.
