Porn-watching Pak terrorist in Paris attack had a hand in Mumbai 26/11

A bomb maker of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba with a penchant for pornography is said to have joined the ISIS and was part of the Paris attacks.

Usman Mohammad who was part of the plan to attack Paris had however failed to reach the French capital in which 130 persons had been killed, reports stated. Investigators while examining his phone found that he surfed porn sites when he was not contacting his terror mates.

Usman Mohammad who also goes by the alias Usman Ghani had moved out of Pakistan over an year ago. OneIndia had reported on April 11(/india/usman-ghani-s-role-mumbai-26-11-attacks-unclear-2066912.html) that Ghani had slipped into the European Union. In the report it was also stated that he along with an Algerian were part of an ISIS strike team which was planning a series of attacks in the European Union. Interestingly the name of Usman had figured in the probe relating to the 26/11 Mumbai attack.

The Lashkar-e-Tayiba's bomb maker:

In fact in April his name had cropped up in the probe relating to the 26/11 attacks. However investigators in India say that it is not clear what exactly he had done in the run up to the attacks. He was with the Lashkar-e-Tayiba at the time of the 26/11 attacks. After the attacks, he had joined another terrorist group in Pakistan called the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.

Indian investigators say that he was roped into the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and taught how to make bombs. Over the years, he became an expert. However, due to a falling out, he had left the outfit to join the LeJ. It was in 2014 that he decided to join the ISIS in Syria.

Ghani had joined the ISIS while in Pakistan and went on to become a part of the hit squad in a bid to carry out attacks in Europe. It is learnt that Ghani along with an Alegerian national Adel Haddadi had were part of the squad that was to carry out the Paris attacks, but they could not reach the French capital in time because they were detained in Greece for possessing fake passports.

Intelligence Bureau officials say that Usman Ghani changed many outfits. The information that India has on him suggests that he was driven more by money rather than the ideology.
