Global Terror Infrastructure and Implications for India continues...

The number of such institutions, according to a recent intelligence report prepared by Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), could be as high as 73. The report detailed the involvement of ISI (and Pakistani High Commission officials) in using these organizations for anti-India operations.

These organizations are largely funded by charity organizations and banks based in West Asia and Pakistan. There is evidence of the involvement of the Islamic Development Bank (Jeddah) and Habib Bank of Pakistan, which has a partner stake in Nepal’s Himalayan Bank, in facilitating the transfer of funds for anti-India activities. The latest report only confirms an earlier report, 'Pakistan’s Anti-India Activities in Nepal’ (2000), which gave details of ISI’s modus operand!, including the use of NGOs and madarsas in anti-India operations.

One of the districts where jihadis are grouping rapidly is Sunsari where a large number of illegal Bangladeshis have settled in the recent times. The NGO which is active in the area is Nepali Islamic Sangh which is working in tandem with the Bangladesh-based Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an associate of Harkat-ul Jihad al Islami (HuJI). HuJI, known as the Bangladeshi Taliban, is an Al Qaeda clone and has been recruiting terrorists in Bangladesh and India. JMB is known as the operational arm of HuJI. As investigations in the terrorist attacks in the last two years in India have shown both HuJI and JMB have aligned with LeT and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) to establish terror networks across India.

Some of the more radical states such as Iran, are even at the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapon capability.
