Delhi Red Fort Blast: Dr Umar Mohammad alias Umar-un-Nabi, the suicide bomber who exploded his car near the iconic Red Fort, killing 15 people and leaving several others injured on November 10, is seen speaking about the 'suicide bombing' in a video that emerged on social media on Tuesday. Umar shot the video himself before the 10/11 terror attack in Old Delhi.

The video testified to the fact that 'suicide bombing' talks were held among the members of the 'White Collar Terror Module'. In the video, Dr Umar is seen talking about suicide bombing and "martyrdom".

Umar's Aide Who Provided Him Safe House, Logistical Support Arrested: NIA

Meanwhile, the National Investigating Agency on Monday told a Delhi court that Amir Rashid Ali, a key accused in the Red Fort area car bomb blast case, allegedly arranged a safe house and provided logistical support to Dr Umar. Ali, a resident of Pampore in South Kashmir, was brought to the court of Principal District and Sessions Judge Anju Bajaj Chandna at the Patiala House courts complex amid tight security.

NIA said that Ali, the registered owner of the vehicle used in the incident, allegedly provided logistical support to Umar. The remand paper also claimed that Amir had arranged a safe house for Umar in the days leading up to the blast. It said that the blast's precision and intensity had been deliberately designed to instil fear in the minds of the public, besides causing alarm and panic.

The NIA investigation showed that the vehicle used in the blast was registered in Ali's name, who had travelled to Delhi specifically to facilitate the purchase of the car. The vehicle was subsequently used as a "Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED)" to carry out the attack. Nabi had known links with a "white-collar" terror module that was recently busted following the recovery of explosives, primarily from Faridabad in Haryana on November 10.
