In the wake of the Mumbia, India terrorist attacks, many have one basic question: Who are the deccan mujahedeen?
In my online search the information I have found all concerns today's terrorist's attacks in India. Blogger RateVin reports:
An organisation calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen has claimed it was behind attacks in Mumbai that left at least 80 people dead, television channels reported on Thursday. The previously unknown or little known group sent an email to news organisations claiming responsibility. Indian journalist Ameet Sha told a private TV channel there was no confirmation but the pattern suggested involvement of Laskar-e-Tayyaba.
But the mention of the Deccan Mujahedeen as a Muslin group may cause Americans to think it's connected with the Mid East. Not so. The name is an off-shoot of the Indian Mujahedeen, an Islamic group based in India. However, that group is not the Lashkar-e-Toiba , another Indian terrorist group.
My hunch is this is a loosely formed group of Indian militants with no real organizational system, just a name they came up with.
