Al Qaeda’s south Asia chief is Maulana Aasim Umar who has a message for Muslims in India. The page belongs to Bhusawal division of Personnnel Department of Central Railways and is part of the large intranet created for administrative needs of the Indian Railways.

A microsite of the Railnet page of the Indian government was found hacked by al Qaeda recently in a demonstration of the terrorist group’s ability to intercept the government’s web directory. This is the first time a government page has been hacked by al Qaeda.

The page belongs to Bhusawal division of Personnnel Department of Central Railways and is part of the large intranet created for administrative needs of the Indian Railways.

A writing on the hacked site read, “Massage to Muslim People in India from AQIS (sic).” An attached document on the site opened to a message to Indian Muslims from Maulana Aasim Umar, the chief of the Al Qaeda in south Asia.
