The Home Minister said some of these modules are loosely knit under an organisation called Indian Mujahideen and many old cadres of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (have transformed themselves into IM cadres.

"There are other Indian modules that espouse the cause of right-wing religious fundamentalism or separatism," he said while inaugurating the three-day annual conference of DGPs and IGPs organised by Intelligence Bureau.

The Home Minister said no country in the world, including the United States, appears to be entirely immune to the threat of terror. The worst-affected were Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, he said.

"The epicentre of terror is Afghanistan-Pakistan (region). Four out of five major terrorist groups are based in Pakistan and three of them LeT, JeM and HM continue to target India," Chidambaram said.
