Suicide bombing a misunderstood concept: Delhi bomber Umar Nabi's chilling video, justifies 'martyrdom operation'
PTC News Desk: A disturbing video has surfaced showing Dr. Umar un Nabi — the man behind the recent Red Fort car blast that killed 15 people — talking about how suicide bombing is “misunderstood”.
Speaking calmly in clear English, he claims that what people call a “suicide bombing” is actually a “martyrdom operation”. His words give insight into how he thought, showing that he had become fully radicalised.
"One of the very misunderstood concepts is the concept of what has been labelled as suicide bombing. It is a martyrdom operation... known in Islam. Now, there are multiple contradictions; there are multiple arguments that have been brought against it," the young doctor is heard saying in the video. He adds in the video that a "martyrdom" operation is one in which a person presumes that he is going to die at a particular place and time. Umar also says that no one can predict exactly when or where they will die, and that it will happen if it is destined. He adds, "Don't fear death."
"There are multiple arguments and contradictions that have been brought against it (suicide bombing). Martyrdom operation is when a person presumes that he is going for sure die at a particular place at a particular time, he goes against the presumption that a particular person is going to die. He is going to die in a particular situation," he said.
In the video, Umar appears confident and well-spoken, explaining his ideas in detail. It shows how an educated and composed person can still justify such a terrible act, highlighting a new kind of terrorist in India: educated, radicalised, and deliberate.
The footage also confirms that the blast was carefully planned and not an accidental explosion while moving explosives. Investigators believe Umar — the most radicalised member of the “white-collar” Faridabad terror module behind the attack — recorded this video to influence and brainwash others.
