Terrorists in India posing as medical professionals may be using staff lockers at hospitals and medical centres to store arms and explosives – like the Hamas in Gaza – raising the worrisome possibility of an advisory, or even operational, link, National Investigation Agency sources told NDTV Friday afternoon.
The anti-terror agency is leading inquiries into the car bomb that exploded outside Delhi's Red Fort on November 10 and killed 15 people. At least three suspects linked to that attack – Mohammed Shakeel, Adil Ahmad Rather, and Shaheen Saeed – and the terrorist who drove and detonated the ammonium nitrate fuel oil-stuffed Hyundai i20, Umar Mohammad – had cover jobs as doctors.
