A Mumbai based ISIS recruit tasked with organising bomb blasts across India instead dumped them into a Delhi drain last year. Security officials say he panicked, according to an Indian Express report, after seeing security cover. Mohammed Hussein Khan, among the 14 alleged IS members arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) “confessed” to having picked up 1.5 kg of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or PETN, from a contact in Delhi. “With visible police presence in Delhi, Khan got nervous and threw the explosives in a drain before boarding a train back to Mumbai. PETN (a plastic explosive) is one of the most powerful materials used by terror groups worldwide to prepare bombs,” said the official. Khan also allegedly said that he received Rs 50,000 by another arrested accused, Muddabir Sheikh, to pay for the explosive material, according to sources.
