The South Indian commander of a terror outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, HUJI, Mohammed Amjad, has been taken into custody by Andhra Pradesh Police. A senior police official said on Monday in Hyderabad that Amjad is a close aide of Mohammed Abdul Shahed, a self-styled commander of HUJI and was made<br/><br/>as South Indian in-charge after the suspected killing of Shahed in a shoot-out in Karachi in Pakistan in 2007. Amjad was nabbed in Chennai through a joint operation by Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal Police and Central agencies based on the information given by arrested HUJI operatives in Kolkatta recently. The HUJI terrorist, said to be a native of Hyderabad, was operating his activities from Bangladesh and allegedly conspired to unleash terror on Republic Day either at Chennai or Hyderabad. Amjad was allegedly involved in the blasts in Mecca Masjid and twin blasts in Hyderabad during 2007 besides conspiring terror attacks in Ajmer Shareef and Jaipur and was also suspected to be an accused in the failed conspiracy to eliminate BJP leader Indrasen Reddy in 2004.
