The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 2 neutralised an Islamic State (IS) inspired module from Kerala and Tamil Nadu as it arrested six youngsters who were reportedly planning to carry out terror attacks in the country, reports indiatvnews.com. The arrest was made during the agency’s ongoing investigation into the disappearance of 21 people from the state who were suspected to have joined the so called caliphate led by Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi. Those arrested have been identified as Manseed alias Omar Al Hindi, Abu Basheer alias Rashid, Swalih Mohammed T alias Yousuf, Safwan P, Jasim NK and Ramshad Nageelan Kandiyil alias Aaamu from Kozhikode and Kannur districts of Kerala. Five of them were arrested when they were allegedly conducting a meeting at Kanakamala hilltop in Kannur District. During subsequent searches, another person was detained from Kuttiyadi in Kozhikode District and later arrested.NIA was assisted by Police personnel from Kerala, Delhi and Telangana during the operations. The NIA spokesman said that during the searches, incriminating material besides electronic devices were seized. "Follow up searches are being conducted by NIA in Chennai, Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu and Kannur, Kozikhode and Mallapuram in Kerala with support of Tamil Nadu and Kerala Police," the spokesman said.

A day after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) busted an Islamic State (IS) module in Kerala and Tamil Nadu which was allegedly planning to carry out major strikes in several parts of south India, the probe revealed that one of the senior members of the module — Majeeb alias Omar Al Hindi, a resident of Kannur — was associated with Kerala-based Popular Front of India (PFI), reports Times of India on October 4. Investigations revealed that the module members came in touch with each other on Facebook and later started interacting on Telegram channel as they were all inclined towards the ideology of the so-called ‘caliphate’ led by Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. "They forged an alliance and decided to operate from India instead of travelling to Iraq and Syria. However, we are questioning them on their links with online recruiters including Shafi Armar alias Yousuf Al Hindi," a source said. The NIA is investigating the module's link with 21 missing Kerala persons, including children and women, who travelled to Afghanistan in May-June. According to reports, Omar Al Hindi was an important cog in this IS module which was collecting explosives for its activities. He was working in Qatar and came to India recently.The, PFI, however has declined. PFI's director of media and PR Mohammed Arif Ahmed said, "PFI has taken a strong stand against the Islamic State and has condemned its activities. As an organisation, PFI has no links with people involved in such activities."

The mastermind behind the Islamic State (IS)-inspired module that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) neutralised on October 2, was allegedly operating from Qatar through a WhatsApp group, to keep in touch with other members of the group, New Indian Express reports on October 4. The NIA believes that 30-year-old Manseed alias Omar Al Hindi, a native of Kerala and employed in Qatar, had devised plans to carry out terror attacks in India. Manseed was on a short four-day visit to his native Kannur and had asked other members to come there for a meeting when the NIA sleuths were believed to have got a tip-off and acted swiftly to arrest him and five others. The members of the module, who were residing in different places, had reached Kannur on October 1 for the meeting. Though he was in Qatar, Mansheed was operating a WhatsApp group with him as the admin to keep in touch with other members of the module, sources said.

The Islamic State (IS) module busted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 1 had links with cleric Zakir Naik, reports Times of India on October 6. According to them the televangelist was a source of inspiration, saying they were motivated by his speeches and social media posts.Manseed alias Omar al-Hindi, the ‘chief’ of the module had worked for 12 years as part of the intelligence wing of Popular Front India (PFI), reporting on activities of RSS and its functionaries in Kerala. The module headed by him was plotting Nice[France]-like attacks on community events, particularly an all-religion gathering in Kochi [Kerala], and had even been transferred INR 38,000 from abroad through Western Union to buy a second-hand heavy vehicle to be driven into the crowd, killing and maiming a large number of people, sources said.Al-Hindi's association with PFI ended after the organisation expelled him for marrying a woman from the Philippines, he revealed to his interrogators. The 30-year-old relocated from Kerala to Qatar around eight years ago and was working as a sales executive in Doha.

After arresting over 50 suspects for conspiring to set-up terror modules inspired by the Islamic State (IS) or for providing material support to the militant group, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has identified another 130 radicalised individuals, believed to be in contact with the accused, dnaindia.com reports on October 12. This watch list is a "preemptive measure" by the agency to track and monitor these individuals.The individuals on the watch list have not participated in any incriminating activities till now. They are, however, active on the social media and have made efforts on ground to gather support for IS, officials said. "They've tried to gather support for IS online and offline and enroll other members. They themselves, however, have refrained from joining any module,'' they added. The decision to put these individuals under surveillance was taken recently, after a few names cropped up frequently during interrogations. Consequently, the NIA wrote to police authorities in nine states – Delhi, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Haryana – asking them to monitor these supporters."We don't have any strong evidence against these people. Their names have cropped up during interrogations of accused. For now, we only know that they are radicalised and believe in the IS ideology,'' a senior NIA said. The state police have been given the responsibility to track down these individuals and question them, if needed. In several cases, investigators observed common links as IS supporters were part of WhatsApp groups and Facebook pages or used encrypted platforms for communication.

Following National Investigation Agency's (NIA) inquiry, at least three people suspected to have links with the Islamic State (IS) have been picked up in Coimbatore on October 12, reports newsx.com. According to reports, the three suspects have been taken to Kerala, where already six other suspected IS were arrested.

And now, out of those 15, 3 have been picked up by the Police. As per reports, some alleged IS recruitment cells are running as sleeper cells in the country where investigation agencies are always in constant hunt to nab such people, in order to eliminate their anti-national activities.

The seven people who were recently arrested for working as Islamic State’s (IS) south India module were planning to carry out ‘lone wolf’ attacks on targets, revealed the National Investigation Agency (NIA), reports The New Indian Express on October 22. NIA officials said the members were having their first meeting at Kanakamala in Kannur District of Kerala after the group was formed a year ago.“When the attacks are carried out by a group, it is easy for security agencies to track and foil its plans. However, when it comes to single-man operations, agencies cannot keep focusing on one person. The IS attack in Nice in France, in which a truck was used to ram into the crowd, was carried out by a lone wolf,” said an NIA official. The IS group decided to have a face-to-face meeting in Kannur after security agencies managed to secure some of their plans, and they found it tough to procure explosives. Five members of the group were arrested on October 2. “Subahani, who had fought for the IS in Iraq, had the task of arranging explosives. Even though he had contacted several explosives agents, none of his attempts bore fruit. The meeting was organised to make changes in the operations of the module,” the official said.After tracing the funds received by Subahani, the NIA suspects that more IS modules are functioning in south India. He was directed by handlers stationed abroad and was told that the money for purchasing explosives would be kept under an idol at a park in Chennai in Tamil Nadu. “As directed, Subahani visited Butterfly Park in Chennai where he found `20,000 under an idol. We are trying to trace the people who kept the cash there,” said the NIA official.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into 21 missing persons from Kerala has unearthed that more than 30 youths from the state had attended Islamic State (IS) training camps in Afghanistan, Deccan Chronicle reports on October 26.According to a report, many of these youth may have returned to India to set up sleeper cells. Many educated Muslim youths from Kerala who were working in Gulf countries had strong links with IS terror networks, the report also said. Furthermore, some NRI businessmen had funded the terror activities of these youth. Apart from radical Muslim outfits operating in the state, so-called secular religious groups are also involved in encouraging youth to join IS, said the report. Handlers of terror outfits have used social media effectively to recruit the youths from the state without alerting the police and intelligence agencies.Earlier, NIA identified Sajeer Abdulla Mangalaseri as the 'chief' of IS network in Kerala. 35-year-old Sajeer, a Civil Engineer from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kozhikode and a Salafist who hails from Moozhikal in Kozhikode District had been recruiting people from Kerala in IS fold. Intelligence agencies now believe that Sajeer is no more working in UAE, but hiding somewhere in Afghanistan, keeping in close touch with the missing youth from Kerala.
