New Delhi: Indian Mujahideen is on an expansion spree! That is what captured IM terrorist Yasin Bhatkal - one of India’s most wanted men - has revealed to security agencies, reported a daily on Monday. Bhatkal has reportedly disclosed that the IM is aiming to expand like the al Qaeda, the world’s dreaded terror group, and maintains close contact with Pakistan-based Tehreek-e-Taliban. The IM’s main aim, as per Bhatkal, is to usher in Sharia in India. The terrorist also revealed the IM maintains contacts with Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI, but has refrained from becoming its puppet unlike the Lashkar-e-Toiba. He also claimed that several IM recruits fought NATO forces in Afghanistan and were killed there.
