Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

As per matching versions of IM operations put out by Salman, arrested by the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police from Sidharthnagar District, Amjad Khawaja, arrested by the Hyderabad Police and Shahzad, arrested from Azamgarh District in UP, IM cadres were receiving training at the same facilities used by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), both in Karachi as well as other parts of Pakistan. However, the focus of IM training is mostly bomb-making, unlike LeT cadres who are trained to fire sophisticated arms and use guerrilla tactics. However, IM cadres, recruited from various Indian locations including Azamgarh, Bhatkal village near Mangalore in Karnataka and Hyderabad, receive their training from serving as well as retired officers of the Pakistani Army, who are referred to as Bada Saheb and Chhota Saheb . Incidentally, this is part of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI)-engineered Karachi Project unveiled first by American terror suspect David Coleman Headley. Under the Karachi Project , Indian terror kingpins recruit jihadis from here and send them across to Pakistan for training. Once trained, these cadres ex-filtrate through the Jammu and Kashmir border or enter India via Nepal, Bangladesh or UAE.
