The National Investigation Agency has alleged that a chargesheeted accused linked to an offshoot of the global terror outfit Al-Qaida misused artificial intelligence platforms, including ChatGPT and YouTube, for what officials described as “terror engineering” in connection with the deadly Red Fort area car blast case in Delhi. According to official sources on Sunday, the findings are part of a 7,500-page chargesheet filed by the NIA on May 14 before a special NIA court in New Delhi in connection with the high-intensity vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device blast that took place on November 10 last year.&nbsp;The explosion, which allegedly involved members of an interim module of Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind linked to Al-Qaida, killed 11 people and injured several others. The chargesheet alleges that one of the accused, Jasir Bilal Wani, acted as the “in-house engineer” of the terror module and used online platforms to research the construction of rocket IEDs. Investigators said Jasir searched YouTube and ChatGPT for information on “how to make a rocket and in what proportion should the mixture be”, highlighting what officials called the misuse of digital and AI tools for terror-related activities.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/delhi-blast-terror-suspect-taken-to-al-falah-university-reveals-where-explosives-were-refined-1766759046589">Delhi blast: Terror suspect taken to Al Falah University, reveals where explosives were refined</a>&nbsp;The NIA alleged that Jasir, along with co-accused Dr Umer un Nabi, Dr Muzammil Shakeel, and Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather, prepared and tested rocket IEDs in the Qazigund forest in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district.

The agency said the explosive used in the attack was Triacetone Triperoxide, or TATP, which was allegedly manufactured clandestinely after repeated experimentation.
