The NIA has told a Delhi court that the seven foreign nationals arrested last week had entered Mizoram illegally before crossing over to Myanmar, where they imparted training to Ethnic Armed Groups (EAGs) known to support terrorist organisations operating in India and target the Myanmar Junta. They imparted “pre-scheduled training” to EAG operatives in the domain of drone warfare, drone operations, and assembly and jamming technology, the National Investigation Agency informed the court Monday.
 
The agency said that six of the arrested persons are from Ukraine, while one is from the US. About the Ukrainian nationals, the agency told the court they were part of a group of 14 Ukrainians who entered India on tourist visas and flew to Guwahati before continuing their journey to Myanmar.
 
The seven people have been identified as Matthew Aaron Van Dyke, Hurba Petro, Slyviak Taras, Ivan Sukmanovskyi, Stefankiv Marian, Honcharuk Maksim, and Kaminskyi Viktor.
Van Dyke, the lone US national, was taken into custody by the agency from the Kolkata airport Friday evening.
 
Additionally, the Ukrainian trio of Petro, Taras and Sukmanovskyi was taken into custody at the Lucknow airport after being stopped by the Bureau of Immigration (BoI). The remaining accused were taken into custody at the airports in Kolkata and Delhi.
They were first produced before a Delhi court on Saturday, which sent them to the NIA custody till Monday. The agency secured an additional 11 days of custody for all seven accused until 27 March.

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.

By terrorism watch -
Kabul: Five members of the US-led international military coalition were killed on Saturday by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, the latest deadly attack against foreign troops since the Taliban announced the start of their spring offensive this week. The renewed violence came as Afghan President Hamid Karzai acknowledged that his government has been receiving funds from CIA for more than a decade as part of regular monthly assistance from the US government. Karzai told reporters at a news conference that the CIA's station chief in Kabul has assured him that regular funding the US intelligence agency gives his government will not be cut off. Karzai had earlier confirmed that his government had received such payments following a story published in The New York Times that said the CIA had given the Afghan National Security Council tens of millions of dollars in monthly payments delivered in suitcases, backpacks and plastic shopping bags.
