Delhi Red Fort blast co-conspirator Jasir Bilal Wani was Dr. Umar Nabi's first choice for suicide bombing but backed out citing poor economic conditions and Islamic prohibition against suicide. The NIA arrested the Qazigund resident for providing technical support, learning drone and rocket modifications through encrypted Telegram channels while watching Russia-Ukraine and Hamas-Israel drone warfare videos. The 28-year-old political science bachelor was intensely brainwashed for months by Nabi, who wanted him as a suicide bomber rather than Jaish-e-Mohammed's over-ground worker. The plan collapsed in April. Previously arrested co-conspirator Amir Rashid Ali provided safe houses and registered the explosive-laden Hyundai i20 that killed 15 near Red Fort last week.
