Barot, 34, also allegedly plotted to trigger explosions at several US financial buildings “designed to kill as many innocent people as possible”. He was arrested in August 2004 along with seven others, who were of Pakistan origin.

According to Indian security expert B Raman, Barot alias Bilal aka Abu Musa al-Hindi aka Abu Eissa al-Hindi is the son of Manubhai Barot and Bhartiyaben.
