In and around November 2007, office bearers and functionaries of SIMI, a banned organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967, entered into a criminal conspiracy in Choral, Indore, Madhya Pradesh to conduct training camps for their active cadres.
Two suspected Students Islamic Movement of India activists, arrested for allegedly attending a secret training camp held by the outfit in Wagamon, Kerala in 2007, would be taken on Wednesday to the place where they had attended the camp. Shibili and Hafeez, who were recently handed over to a Kerala police team by the Madhya Pradesh police, would be produced before the Kanjirapally First Class Magistrate Court. They will then be taken to Kolahalamedu and Thangalpara.

The legendary fight between David and Goliath in the Bible forms the backdrop of the story.
The National Investigation Agency on Thursday filed a chargesheet in the December 2007 Wagamon Students Islamic Movement of India arms training camp case, naming 30 accused, who are involved in various terrorists cases in the country, including the Ahmedabad serial blasts case of 2008. The camp was conducted with an intention to train the participants to advocate, incite and abet unlawful terror activities.
He was arrested after a 'brief exchange of fire'.
There have been no major blasts in the state, but most terror operatives are trained in camps in the state. Extremely volatile, Kerala has been declared a Red Zone by the NIA.
