Moosa

**Moosa Rehman** was an ISIS-trained chemical weapons expert who is instrumental in carrying out Mission Zulfiqar.

Moosa is cool-headed who has no regrets in killing people, as long as they are infidels. However he is deeply protective of his mother, Meherunnisa, and repeatedly expresses a desire to see her. After carrying out the Orion Chemicals attack in Delhi, he sees his mother on TV pleading for him to stop and wants to pause the mission, but his partner Sajid disagrees and eventually kills him in a fight.

## Description

### Early Life

Moosa is a young man in his mid-twenties hailing from Kasargod, Kerala. He is traumatised by the deaths of his father, uncle and sister in the 2002 riots in Vadodara, Gujarat, which were targeted against Muslims. To avenge their deaths he graduates as a chemical engineer and joins the ISIS in Syria, before he is assigned to carry out Mission Zulfiqar by Major Sameer. He and Sajid are trained by Faizan for this purpose. Moosa carries out several chemical attacks, including one on a Shia mosque in Istanbul that killed 270 people.

Later he along with Asif and Aboobacker are captured off the coast of Kochi, Kerala, and taken to Mumbai. They escape and eventually Aboobacker is killed by the TASC, while Asif is comatose. Srikant offers to take Moosa to his mother. In hospital, he repeatedly asks Moosa for details on Mission Zulfiqar, but Moosa feigns innocence, and wants to see his mother. Just as Asif is recovering from the coma, Moosa sneaks into his ward and kills him by injecting potassium into his blood, to prevent him from divulging anything about the mission.

Moosa befriends a Malayalam nurse, Mary, in the hospital in Mumbai, and she quickly gains his trust. When some of his supporters carry out the Fortune Hospital attack, he takes advantage of her innocence and kills her before escaping to Delhi. There, he meets Sajid, who has arrived from Kashmir after their initial plan for a nerve gas attack is thwarted by the TASC. They devise a new plan to leak a lethal gas over Delhi that will kill millions overnight, similar to the Bhopal gas tragedy.

They blackmail Vaibhav Therani, a project manager at the Orion Chemicals factory, and force him to override several safety measures in order to carry out their plan. When Vaibhav protests, Moosa kills him. As Moosa and Sajid are escaping, Moosa sees his mother on TV pleading for him to stop the mission, and Moosa turns back. However, Sajid wants to complete the mission immediately. Their disagreement leads to their car crashing upside-down amidst a brutal fight, and Sajid eventually kills Moosa before walking away, weeping.
