The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on May 22 arrested four persons allegedly linked with terror outfit al-Qaeda and exposed al-Qaeda’s module to hire people to spread terror in India.
The four arrested persons are Bangladesh citizens, who have been staying in India illegally, and were apparently working for al-Qaeda in Gujarat, ATS officials said.
“Before they came to India, they were trained by al-Qaeda to recruit local youth by radicalising them,” ATS DIG Deepan Bhadran said. They were also involved in raising funds and resources for the proscribed terror outfit in the country.
