Suicide Bombing a ‘Misunderstood Concept'—Red Fort Bomber Dr Umar Nabi Heard Saying in Chilling New Video

The National Investigation Agency confirmed Umar Ul Nabi was the first suicide car bomber in Delhi, with a video showing him discussing martyrdom operations.

  • On November 18, a Hindi news channel posted a 1.20 minute video showing Dr Umar Ul Nabi alleged to be the Red Fort suicide bomber involved in the November 10 blast that killed over a dozen people.
  • The National Investigation Agency took over the probe on November 11 and on November 16 confirmed Nabi was a `suicide bomber`, marking the first car-borne suicide attack in the capital since the 2019 Pulwama incident.
  • In the clip, Dr Umar Ul Nabi rehearses lines, turns the phone away when he falters, and discusses `martyrdom operations` in a heavy English accent, while Nabi's mother told investigators she suspected his radicalisation and noted his withdrawal shortly before the attack.
  • The NIA arrested Amir Rashid Ali, in whose name the i20 was registered, and obtained a 10-day custody order, after earlier recovering nearly 2,900 kilograms of explosives.
  • Investigators call the video crucial evidence of Nabi's radicalisation, with links to a Jaish-e-Mohammed-linked module and technical support from Bilal Wani alias Danish, who allegedly modified drones.
