Computer engineer suspected as mastermind

ONE name that will be at the forefront of the investigators’ minds is that of Abdul Subhan Qureshi, also known as Tauqeer, a Mumbai-educated member of the Indian Mujahideen credited with masterminding several of the previous attacks.

Reports from India’s intelligence agencies claim he has been able to use his expertise as a computer engineer to stay one step ahead of his pursuers and to co-ordinate attacks.

His name also cropped up in the investigation into a series of bombings in Assam, with intelligence agencies claiming to have intercepted several congratulatory emails.
