Significantly, most of the political parties supporting SIMI have presence in the States where the homegrown face of terror is active through a developed network of cadres and leaders. The interrogation reports of top SIMI leadership reveal that the outfit has significantly developed its network in major States like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, West Bengal, New Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, besides Bihar.
The other disturbing fact that has emerged from the first hand account by the top-rung leadership of SIMI is that the activities of the outfit are now being coordinated and supported by well-educated and financially sound Muslims.
The SIMI terrorists are not the typical uneducated and the superstitious Muslims and the rank comprises well educated and financially sound sections of the community who extend support to the outfit despite the knowledge that the group is banned, Aamil Parwaz told the interrogators earlier this year.
The outfit has been regularly holding meetings at mosques and the premises of well-off leaders of the community but the security agencies failed to get a wind of it unless it was busted by the Madhya Pradesh Police in March this year.
