Hyderabad Police foil ISI terror attack plan, arrests 3 terrorist with grenades

Thwarting a significant terror plot, Hyderbad police arrested 3 Muslim including a history-sheeter and seized four hand grenades from them. As per the police, they were planning to carry out in the city under the direction of Pakistan's intelligence agency.

 

 

The arrested accused are identified as Abdul Zahed (age 39, a resident of Malakpet), Mohammed Sameeuddin alias Abdul Sami (age 39, a resident of Akberbagh Sayeedabad), and Maaz Hasan Farooq alias Maaz (age 29, a resident of Humayunagar in Mehdipatnam). Abdul Zahed recruited the other two in this terrorist activity.

 

It is notable that Abdul Zahed was earlier arrested for alleged involvement in a suicide bomb case in 2005, but he was released in 2017 for lack of evidence after spending 12 years in jail. The leftist ecosystem and liberal media had branded him as the victim of a false investigation. This time he is arrested with all the evidence including dangerous weapons like grenades.

 

 

 

Hyderabad Commissioner of Police, C V Anand said, “Zahed received a consignment of four hand grenades and was going to carry out sensational terror attacks in Hyderabad. On specific information, the raids were conducted and three persons were arrested at Malakpet. He was previously involved in several terror-related cases in the city and was regularly in touch with Pakistani ISI-LeT (Inter-Services Intelligence and Lashkar-e-Taiba) handlers.”

 

He further said, “Three absconding persons Farhatullah Ghouri alias FG, Siddique Bin Osman alias Rafique alias Abu Hamzala and Abdul Majeed alias Chotu all natives of Hyderabad and wanted in several cases are now settled in Pakistan and working under the aegis of ISI. In past, they recruited local youth and radicalized them, and got executed terror attacks such as a blast near Sai Baba Temple, Dilsukhnagar in 2002, a bus blast at Ghatkopar in Mumbai, and a Task Force office blast at Begumpet in 2005. They also attempted to cause blasts near Ganesh Temple Secunderabad in 2004.”
