Intelligence inputs have revealed that the Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has flushed in online contents to instigate and influence people to launch “lone wolf” attacks against the Indian government, Times Now reports on June 10. The AQIS has recruited a huge team of Islamic scholars and clerics based out of Bangladesh to create content for broadcasting using similarly-named profiles on websites and digital platforms, intelligence inputs have claimed. The terrorist organisation has released a cache of provocative content online in order to launch propaganda attacks against India, its security agencies, Hindutva leaders, businesses and a “certain category of persons”.
The Bangladesh unit of AQIS has apparently also uploaded a series of videos on a website, intelligence inputs shared with security agencies stated. These videos contain detailed strategy to plan and execute ‘lone wolf’ attacks in the broader idea of ‘global jihad’. “Similar content is regularly uploaded on their online forums, magazines and social media channels to reach like-minded persons in Bangladesh and India, and instigate them to launch Lone Wolf Attacks,” the intelligence input claims.
