India bans 100 outfits linked to al Qaeda

NEW DELHI: May 16, 2010: Indian government on Sunday formally banned over 100 outfits - linked to al Qaida - from across the globe by declaring them ‘terrorist organizations’.

Though India had been keeping tabs on these outfits in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, a formal decision to put these 100-odd entities - along with 33 other terror organizations - in the list of banned organisations is seen as a move "to avoid any legal ambiguity" in case Indian cops lay their hands on anyone associated with these bodies.

These outfits include Jemaah Islamiyah (Bali bombing fame) of Indonesia, Islamic Jihad Group of Libya, the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, International Islamic Relief Organization of Philippines and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan among others.

Prominent in the list of banned outfits in India include: Lashkar-e-Taiba; Jaish-e-Mohammad; Tahrik-e-Furqan; Al Badr; Jamiat-ul-Mujahiden; Al-Qaida; Harkat-ul-Mujahideen; Harkat-ul-Ansar; Harkat-ul-Jehad-e-Islami; Hizb-ul-Mujahideen; Al-Umar-Mujahideen; Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front; ULFA; NDFB; LTTE, SIMI, Deendar Anjuman; Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist-People's War); Maoist Communist Centre; and CPI (Maoist) and others.
