Delhi Blast: Terror Module Planned Drone Attack, Suspect Discusses 'Martyrdom'
A group of bad guys planned to use bomb-carrying drones to hurt a lot of people.
They also tried to make simple rockets.
Before they could do this, one of them, Dr. Umar Nabi, accidentally blew himself up with a shoe bomb near the Red Fort.
Nabi believed that dying this way was a good thing, but many people on the internet disagreed with him.
A terror module planned a drone attack using weaponized drones and crude rockets before the Delhi blast.
The module aimed to cause mass casualties in densely populated areas, echoing Hamas' tactics.
Two suspects, Jasir Bilal Wani alias Danish and Amir Rashid Ali, were arrested in connection with the plot.
The module's leader, Dr. Umar Muhammad Nabi, died in the blast, which was caused by a shoe bomb containing TATP.
Nabi's views on 'martyrdom' operations sparked controversy on social media, with users condemning his stance.
