Five youths — Fayiz and Fayaz from Kannur, Abdul Rahim and Abdul Jabbar from Malappuram and Yasin from Ernakulam — were selected by LeT operative Thadiyantavide Nazeer to be trained under the outfit and were sent to the LeT camp.

It was alleged that Nazeer and his aides lured the youths through the classes he held in various parts of northern Kerala. The plan was that after training, two persons would return to Kerala while the remaining three would join the 'jihad' in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
