“SIMI and Educated Muslims?”
By R. Upadhyay
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Going by the account of the educational and economic background of a number of suspects of terror blasts in recent years provided by Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh police it appears that Islamist terrorism in no more only the career of uneducated and economically backward Muslim youths. Contrary to the mainstream notion that unemployment, inadequate education and economic deprivation have enticed the Muslim youths to seek the path of terrorism as career, the demographic composition of some of the terror suspects suggests that they also belong to the categories ranging from white colour professionals like doctors, engineers, IT specialists to small traders, religious preachers and underworld criminals. The language of e-mail sent to some TV channels before the Ahmadabad blasts in August 2008 by ‘Indian Mujahideen’ was in English and signed by Al-Arbi-al-Hind’ (Arab of India) also gives an indication that the sender was well educated person from within the Indian Muslim society. It may be recalled that most of the persons involved in September 11, 2001 terror incidents in USA were highly qualified Muslim youths. It is also said that a sizeable number of the followers of Oasma bin Laden are specialists in different areas of science and technology.
Profiles of some of the suspects as disclosed by police are as follows:”

Coalition Identifies Taliban Leaders Killed in Recent Strikes
American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Sept. 4, 2008 – Coalition forces have positively identified five Taliban subcommanders killed during operations over the past month in Afghanistan’s Kapisa province.
Qari Nejat, along with four other enemy fighters, was killed during a coalition forces operation in the province’s Nijrab district Aug. 5. Officials said Nejat was a Taliban commander in the Tag Ab valley region, with ties to senior insurgent figures. He was implicated in the July 21 suicide bombing in the Tag Ab bazaar that injured six Afghan nationals, as well as the July 16 kidnapping of three Afghan National Police officers in Jalokhel. Nejat also was wanted in connection with the torturing and beheading of an Afghan citizen June 30.
Khairullah Nezami and Qari Ezmarai, along with four other Taliban operatives, were killed in the Tag Ab district on Aug. 23. Nezami was a known roadside bomb facilitator and also coordinated the movement of suicide bombers and foreign terrorists within the network. Ezmarai is believed to have helped foreign terrorists move into and around Afghanistan to conduct attacks for the Taliban.
Both militants were local Taliban commanders in the Tag Ab valley region of Kapisa. During the operation, the force also discovered multiple assault rifles and machine guns.
On Aug. 30, Ahmad Shah and Mullah Rohoullah were killed as coalition forces attempted to search a compound in the Nijrab district. As they approached the compound, they were met with small-arms and rocket-propelled-grenade fire. Coalition forces responded with precision air strikes, killing both Taliban leaders. Six other militants also were killed in the strikes.
Officials said both leaders were heavily involved in foreign terrorist facilitation and conducting numerous attacks against NATO and coalition forces, including a recent ambush on NATO forces on Aug. 18. They were known to facilitate the movement of weapons and foreign fighters into Afghanistan.
