Investigations being conducted into the various serial blasts in the country have revealed one thing in common.

Most suspects, who have been nabbed, have admitted or confessed that revenge has been the motive behind any attack.

The latest confession comes from Abdul Sami, the final year BE student from Bijapur, Karnataka, who was arrested in connection with the Bangalore serial blasts. Cops consider this boy to be prized catch since he had moved up the SIMI [Images] hierarchy extremely soon and was seen as a very close aide of Abdus Subhan, the alleged mastermind of the Delhi [Images] serial blasts.

Sami said, during his interrogation with the Karnataka police, that he was influenced by the ideology of SIMI and hence associated himself with the likes of Safdar Nagori and Subhan.

The turning point was the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the Godhra incident.

At every meeting that Sami attended, the main line taken was to avenge the Godhra violence and the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

He further adds that SIMI cadres were specifically directed to carry out violent jihadi activities and to take revenge against the people responsible for two major incidents in the country, which changed terror operations dramatically in India.

He added that there were instructions to target persons perceived to be threat to the minority community.

He further confessed that they had a specific plan of targeting American tourists in Goa [Images] and hence a conspiracy was hatched to carry out a series of attacks over there. Take the confessions of Kamruddin Nagori for instance.

When he was being questioned, he was asked as to why they had decided to tread this path. Nagori told his interrogators that their main grudge was against the Babri Masjid demolition and Godhra incidents. He even asked his interrogators as to why action was not being taken against the Bajrang Dal, which had openly proclaimed killing several people from the minority community in Gujarat. He added that the mindset changed after these two very major incidents in the country.
