Mujahideen Operative spills details of 7/11 Mumbai Blasts

Friday, February 27, 2009 ·


As Mumbai police make preparations to bring perpetrators of November 26 terrorist attack to book, another terror story is being unraveled.

A top Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative, Sadiq Sheikh, who is in Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) custody, has revealed on camera the modus operandi of Delhi blasts on October 25, 2005, and Mumbai blasts on July 11, 2006.

“All five of us arranged local train passes for the first class compartments beforehand. We also had local train-timetable with us so that we could find out the train as per our convenience," says Sadiq in the recorded confession.

"We purchased bags and pressure cookers in Mumbai. On the day of blast that is on 11 July, 2006, all five of us assembled and we filled seven cookers with explosives. We kept the bombs ready. We had planned the bomb to blast at 6:30 pm,” he confesses.

Giving details of how the serial blasts were executed on Mumbai trains, Sadiq's chilling confession continues.

“Atif (another IM operative) gave me a bag which I kept in one of the local trains," reads the confession.

"Abu Rashid and Sajid then joined me in keeping their bags in the other trains. Abu Rashid travelled till Dadar in the same train and then left for Sewree."

"After a while, through the general public we were informed of the bomb blasts in the local trains,” adds Sadiq.

Sadiq, one of the key members who planted bombs in Mumbai trains on the fateful day, was also assigned the ‘responsibility’ of recruiting others into IM fold.

Sadiq’s cold-blooded confessions do not end with the Mumbai blasts. He has also confessed to masterminding the pre-Diwali blasts in Delhi on October 29, 2005. "Sarojini Nagar, Paharganj, Govindpuri were the targets for the blast," Sadiq has confessed.

"We used to stay in a flat at Jasola. Atif, Shadab, Aarij, Shakeel and Sakib were involved in the group. I used to accompany them in making bombs. I and Atif were now trained in making bombs."

"I left for my native place before the Delhi blast and on the day itself I got the news of the blasts in the Capital city," Sadiq adds.

Also known as India's Osama, Sadiq's role in the blasts of Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad sare also being investigated.

Sadiq was one of the first IM members to be arrested by Mumbai police in October 2008. His interrogation led to the subsequent arrests of 20 other IM operatives. The ATS had secured the custody of Sadiq on February 21, 2009, in connection with the July 2006 serial train blasts.
