Investigators probing the terror module busted in Karnataka have claimed that the arrested 11 youths were inspired by the contents of an online magazine which glorifies activities of the Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.   

Sources in a joint team of central security agencies comprising officials of Intelligence Bureau and RAW conducting the probe claimed today that during questioning of the arrested people it has emerged they had been apparently indoctrinated to join the terror module by various inflammatory speeches uploaded on Internet and writings in the magazine of the sleeper cell of Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Tayiba.   

The arrested include a journalist working with a prominent newspaper in Bangalore and a junior research fellow of premier Defence Research and Development Organisation.    

The arrested persons have spoken extensively about an online magazine -- Inspire -- linked to the Al Qaeda and published from somewhere in Yemen where articles relate towards drawing youth to an "armed war" against Americans, India, Israel and other Western countries who have allied with the US in Afghanistan, the sources said.
