Kafeel Ahmed, an accused in the failed UK terror plot, dreamt of a housing complex on the outskirts of Bangalore city where Shariat would have been the rule of law.
Authorities who deciphered his computer hard disk came across a detailed plan drawn up by him. Kafeel, who suffered 90 per vcent burns after driving a blazing jeep into Glasgow airport, wanted to purchase five acres of land in or around Bangalore, where such a complex could be set up, officials carrying out his background check said.
He wanted the Shariat law to be followed in letter and spirit at the proposed housing complex.

An engineer by profession, Kafeel, who suffered 90 per cent burns while trying to ram into Glasgow airport, had been visiting several religious and secessionist sites including Jamat-ul-Dawa, parent organisation of militant outfit Lashker-e-Taiba.
He had also been attending religious meetings and opposed modernisation of Islam, the sources said.
In January this year, Kafeel had disrupted a meeting organised by a Bangalore-based organisation to discuss reform in Islam.
Security agencies were for the time being inclined to rule out Kafeel’s association with any of the deadly terror groups like Al-Qaeda as was evident from the bombs he tried to assemble with information gleaned from websites and had little practical knowledge of explosive devices.
