In a chilling revelation the chargesheet filed by the NIA against ISIS terrorist Md Mussa alleges that the dreaded terror outfit had plans to attack and kill foreigners visiting Mother Teresa’s House in Kolkata.
Fondly called Mother House by her followers the building off AJC Bose Road is the headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity founded by the Saint. The building also houses the resting place of Mother Teresa who was canonised last September which is why it draws thousands of foreign, particularly European visitors.
In the charge sheet investigators have quoted the terrorist arrested last July as confessing about the nefarious design to step up terror activities in Kolkata.
The attack was planned as a retaliatory measure to the bombing of IS camps in Syria and libya by the allied forces, the terrorist is known to have confessed to his interrogators.
The attack which would have taken place had Musa not been arrested by the Special Task Force of Kolkata Police and had he been successful in carrying out his masters’ plans was designed to targeted Americans, British and Russians sources said.
Mussa was code-named A-1 in the ISIS ranks the interrogators claimed.
The charge sheet says, “A-1 discusses about some plan and selects Mother Teresa House as target for terrorist attack in Kolkata and appraises that foreigners (British, Russians, Americans) are easily found there and tells that during the attack, A-1 would accompany.”
The NIA sleuths have found that Musa was in close touch with Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamat-ul-Mujahedeen-Bangladesh or JMB which had carried out the Dhaka bakery attack killing 20 people. Musa is known to have confessed to the NIA officials about his close links with Abu Suleman the mastermind of the July attack in Bangla capital.
Musa a resident of Birbhum in Bengal was earlier interrogated by the Bangladesh intelligence officials and sleuths of Federal Bureau of Investigation. He was arrested last July by STF from a train at Burdwan Railway Station when he was coming back from his hideout in South India.
