KOZHIKODE:Of late, the web-world appears to have become the most preferred place of extremist elements for hatching bloody terror plots. Terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen is learnt to have signed into chatrooms and social networking sites to rev up the recruitment process.
This was confirmed by the police after the arrest of Danish Riyas alias Riyas Khan from Vadodara recently in connection with the 2008 Ahmedabad blasts. According to top police sources, Riyas, a trained cadre of the IM, has recruited around 25 people from different states of the country through internet, which reduces the risk of detection by the police agencies to a considerable extent. "Each group will consist of a maximum of four members only and they will not be geographically confined to a particular area. More crucially, even the elements of the group may not be knowing each other. The communication between the masterminds and the members will be through chatting. This minimises the chances of detection by security forces and increases the success rate of the operation," the police sources told Express.

The terrorist groups have also been making the most of the internet to preach extremist literature for quite some time.

Moreover, police also suspect the regrouping of several trained elements in the state, which had become dormant with the arrest of Lashkar-e-Toiba operative Thadiyantavide Nazeer, following the new revelation.

The arrest of one of them was enough for the police to catch other members of the group and defuse the whole operation.
