<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->BANGALORE: The Karnataka police, who are investigating a terror module that was recently busted by the Davanagere police have woken up to the startling fact that the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) had spread its network across the State and Hubli was the hub of its activities.Investigations by the police revealed that despite the ban imposed on SIMI in 2001 for its links with terrorist outfits, the organisation has been active in Karnataka. An all-India office-bearer of SIMI, Adnan of Bijapur, has played a vital role in the organisation gaining ground in the State, particularly north Karnataka. Hubli was the meeting point for these activists, sources in the investigation team told The Hindu on Saturday.
