<b>UK terror suspects' faith made in India</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Among those arrested in connection with the recent terror plot to blow up transatlantic airliners, the key figures seem to be linked to the <b>Tablighi Jamaat, an orthodox Islamic movement that was formed in India in 1927. Its headquarters was in Nizamuddin, Delhi</b>.
The followers of the <b>Tablighi Jamaat have to adhere to the strict tenets of Islam</b>. However, now security agencies â not just in Britain but across Europe and in the US â <b>are concerned that the missionary movement has become a sleeper or active cell of militants and has links to Al Qaeda</b>.
Assad Sarwar, a suspect arrested in High Wycombe, is said to be a follower of the sect. His brother Amjad was quoted as saying that Assad, who dropped out of university, attended weekend study groups of the Tablighi Jamaat. On Channel Four, Amjad said, <b>"He was at Tablighi Jamaat, which is a sect in Islam which encourages the youth to grow beard, pray five times a dayâ¦. He thought religion was more important than study."</b>
