Indian agencies have recovered a propaganda video in which a “Pakistan-based” terror handler has praised the suicide bombing near Delhi’s Red Fort and warned of more attacks, according to NDTV.
It reported that the video was found on dark-web channels run by Pakistan-based groups, including Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
It added that the voice featured in the 5-minute 35-second clip has been identified as that of 41-year-old Ustad Farhatullah Ghauri, also known as Shahid Faisal, the handler behind last year’s Rameshwaram Café blast in Bengaluru.
As per NDTV, Faisal fled Karnataka in 2012, travelled to Saudi Arabia, and later settled in Pakistan, where he is believed to be working closely with JeM, LeT and Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI.
In the video, he is heard responding to questions about the Delhi suicide bombing that killed 13 people, saying some Muslims also died but they were not the intended targets.
NDTV noted that a screenshot of one of its articles appears in the clip while Faisal comments on Indian media coverage.
Defending the bombing, he criticises what he calls “opportunistic Muslims” for condemning such attacks and claims the explosion was the outcome of “injustice”, warning that more strikes would follow.
The Indian broadcaster reported that it accessed the clip hours after a separate video emerged showing the Delhi bomber Umar Mohammad also known as Umar-un-Nabi.
In that footage, Nabi dismisses the term “suicide bombing”, calling the act a “martyrdom operation”.
NDTV said Nabi’s video highlights the extent to which groups like JeM have managed to recruit and radicalise educated professionals. It pointed out that one of Nabi’s colleagues at Faridabad’s Al Falah University, Shaheen Saeed, had allegedly been tasked with forming the organisation’s women’s wing in India.
