A geopolitical alliance raises fears of renewed terrorist funding and recruitment targeting India.

Terror incidents linked to Turkey

The filings describe two terror plots against India involving Turkey-based operatives. The Hindustan Times reported that Umar Un Nabi, the suicide bomber in a 2025 attack at Delhi's Red Fort metro station that killed 15 people, had met his handlers in Ankara in 2022.

A separate incident described by the same outlet involved the Russian FSB intelligence agency detaining a Central Asian national in 2022. This individual was reportedly recruited online and then trained in Istanbul, Turkey, by an Islamic State figure to conduct a suicide bombing in India.

Funding and recruitment in Saudi Arabia

The Hindustan Times report states that Pakistan-based terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba historically raised funds in Saudi Arabia. It cited the case of Mahmoud Ahmed Bahaziq, a Hyderabad-born individual declared a UN-designated terrorist in 2008, who collected LeT funds in Saudi Arabia.

The filing further asserted that, in the past, the Pakistani 'deep state' used Indian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia to radicalize recruits for attacks in India, often invoking the 2002 Gujarat riots. Saudi authorities subsequently clamped down on these activities, the report noted.

Concerns over a new Sunni alliance

The Hindustan Times expressed concern that a new pact, referred to as the 'Mecca pact', between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey would draw the three Sunni nations closer together.

This proximity, the report warned, could allow Pakistan-based terror groups targeting India to expand their fundraising activities in Saudi Arabia once more, resurrecting old patterns of financing extremism. It drew a parallel to Saudi money flowing to Afghanistan in the 1990s, which it said contributed to the rise of Al Qaeda and terrorist camps run by groups like LeT.
