Terror outfits are using different names while claiming responsibility of terrorist strikes, though there are basically three to four such organisations, police officials said.
AHMEDABAD: Terror outfits are using different names while claiming responsibility of different terrorist strikes, though there are basically three to four such organisations, high-level officials of the state police department said.
The Jaipur serial blasts have added a new name to the list of Islamic terror organisations, active in the country-Indian Mujaheedin, the official said.
The Gujarat Police have started its own investigations after the name of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi appeared in the e-mail sent to a television channel after the Jaipur blasts.
"The Anti-Terrorist Squad of the state and crime branch of Ahmedabad city are carrying out investigations whether any sleeper cell of terror outfit is present in the state or not," officials said.
"Some 50 to 60 names of different terror outfits have come up in the entire country so far. Most of the time, when a new attack takes place they come out with a new name. The state intelligence agency has included all the names of the terror outfits in its list," officials said.
"Basically, there are three to four parent terrorist organisations which includes Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-a-Islami (HuJI)," the official said.
In the case of attack on Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar, police had found a letter written by an outfit called Tehriq-e-Qasas, official said adding that after the attack nothing has been heard about that organisation.
Even in the case of Mumbai serial blasts, the name of Lashkar-e-Qahar had cropped up. The name was never heard before and has not been used afterwards, the officials added.
It is a matter of concern for the state government agencies to find out any of the sleeper cells of any of these terror outfits are present in the state or not, officials said.
The police is trying to find out the links between new organisations and old organisations, officials also said.
Speaking about the e-mail, which was sent to the television channel after the Jaipur serial blasts, the officials said that it has come as an attachment. "The text of the attachment was created in April 2008. It was revised 24 times and sent on May 14," the official said.
