Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri on September 3 announced the formation of an Indian branch of his militant group he said would spread Islamic rule and “raise the flag of jihad” across the subcontinent, reports Dawn. In a 55-minute video posted online, Zawahiri also renewed a longstanding vow of loyalty to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, in an apparent snub to the Islamic State armed group challenging al Qaeda for leadership of transnational militancy. Zawahiri described the formation of “Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent” as a glad tiding for Muslims “in Burma, Bangladesh, Assam, Gujarat, Ahmedabad, and Kashmir” and said the new wing would rescue Muslims there from injustice and oppression. Counter-terrorism experts say al Qaeda's aging leaders are struggling to compete for recruits with Islamic State, which has galvanised young followers around the world by carving out tracts of territory across the Iraq-Syria border. Islamic State leader Abu Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi calls himself a “caliph” or head of state and has demanded the loyalty of all Muslims. The group fell out with Zawahiri in 2013 over its expansion into Syria, where Baghdadi's followers have carried out beheadings, crucifixions, and mass executions.

The Union Government ordered several states to be on increased alert after al Qaeda announced it has formed a wing in India and its neighbourhood, NDTV reports on September 4. In the video posted online, al Qaeda 'chief' Ayman al Zawahri singles out Indian states of Assam, Gujarat and Kashmir with large Muslim populations, along with Bangladesh and Myanmar, as territories targeted by the new organization. NDTV also adds that Pakistan-based Asim Umar, a top al Qaida operative, has been named to lead the Qaedat-al-Jihad, the new terror unit that Zawahri has announced will operate in the Indian sub-continent. In recent months Umer has issued a series of statements encouraging Muslim youth to take to the path of Jihad and calling for the establishment of a caliphate or Islamic state in India and its neighbourhood, a theme that also resonates in Jihadi literature and propaganda used by the Pakistan-based terror groups Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).The Indian security establishment has in its initial analysis of Zawahri's announcement told the government that the al Qaeda-led operations in India are likely to be handled by a splinter group of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) based in Pakistan. The group, led by a man called Shiekh Armar from Hyderabad and another, Dr Shahnawaz, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, recently released a video which talked about men trained in Afghanistan fighting in India.

At least 23 youth from Manipur’s Lilong area of Thoubal District are reported to have left home to join the Indian arm of the al Qaeda in the recent months, Hindustan Times reports on September 5. “They had gone in two batches. Four have returned home while the others are untraceable,” a government security official said. The official said these recruits were first indoctrinated and trained in weapons before being placed in the actual war theatres in Afghanistan and Iraq. “Al Qaeda’s new wing could be a combination of the IM faction with Beig, Bada Sajid and Mir Sajid as its key members, some veteran al Qaeda members like Maulana Asim Umar (the group’s new chief) and Usama Mahmoud (the group’s spokesman), and new recruits from India,” a security stated.

Gujarat has been on the radar of terrorist groups since the communal riots of 2002, The Times of India reports on September 5. The 55-minute video tape of the al-Qaeda 'chief' Ayman Al Zawahiri, warning of terror attacks in India and his mentioning Ahmedabad in the tape, has once again come as a reminder of the terror threat the state faces because of the riots of 2002. Sources in the Police said all SPs and police commissioners have been asked to stay alert in the wake of Ganesh Visarjan and make necessary arrangements to avert any untoward incident. Police have been asked to keep an eye on suspects at airports, railway stations and bus stops. State Director General of Police (DGP), PC Thakur, said: "We have taken necessary steps to avert any untoward incident." Another senior police official said they had been asked to keep an eye on SIMI activities in the city. "We have been also asked to keep watch on social sites, group SMSes and MMSes" said the police officer. Security has been stepped up at all vital installations in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad.

Indian Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, also the chairman of the chiefs of staff committee, on September 5 said the country was now better-equipped to handle threats from groups like al Qaeda, which has declared that it has set up a new branch to wage jihad in India. "There is a threat perception from such agencies but the nation is prepared for it," said ACM Raha. Another crucial initiative after the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) strikes, the integrated national Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) project, to swiftly detect, share and neutralise threats emanating from the sea, is yet to take its full shape. Only Phase-I of the coastal surveillance network - with 36 radar stations on the mainland, six in Lakshadweep and Minicoy and four in Andaman and Nicobar - has for instance become operational till now. The central hub of the National Command Control Communication and Intelligence Network (NC3IN) at Gurgaon, however, is now all set to be commissioned this month. "It connects 46 coastal stations along the country's coastline and island territories," said an officer. The IAF, too, has strengthened air defence measures to detect and shoot down "rogue" planes, with a critical step being the integration of military and civilian radars, if there is evidence they are in the process of being used as missiles to hit high-value targets. Structures like the JCAC (joint control and analysis centre) have progressively come up in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Hyderabad. "But much more needs to be done. The hundreds of small airfields and landing strips dotting the countryside, for instance, can be used for small propeller-driven aircraft and microlights. They need monitoring 24/7," said another officer.

The agencies also believe that the ISI has prodded al-Qaida to draw recruits from India, just like the Islamic State (IS) did.

With al-Qaeda 'chief' Ayman al-Zawahiri announcing the launch of the Islamist terror outfit’s branch in India, intelligence agencies and Police are planning moves to identify terrorist sleeper cells in Hyderabad, Deccan Chronicle reports on September 5. A report by the Cyberabad counter intelligence cell had revealed that the sleeper cell of a terror group based on the city’s outskirts has already conducted a survey of some US-based multinational companies in the city. Officials believe that these cells could become the main tool of the al Qaeda in coming days to expand its tentacles in the city. After Zawahiri’s declaration the Intelligence Bureau (IB) alerted the Telangana Police since Hyderabad is a potential target of many terror groups including the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Top officials said that it’s time to launch measures for gathering intelligence on a large scale about terror groups. “Certainly covert activities of sleeper cells are going on in the city. If we do not act now, they will turn do dreadful things,” said a top official from the City Police. The Special Branch and Counter-Intelligence Cell in the city have strengthened their surveillance of religious institutions in the city. “The sleeper cells usually function using trained secret agents, who are assigned to gather maximum information about the area they target for an attack. They can easily blend into society without raising any suspicion. The terror agents infiltrate target institutions and live in the city, study the situation and finally carry out the attack when they receive orders from their leader,” said a senior official. Meanwhile, the Cyberabad Police has started building a directory of tenants living on the city’s outskirts. “We are going to create a database of tenants, who are staying in the commissionerate’s limits. Software is being developed to administer the database,” said a senior police official of Cyberabad.

Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has hit out against the State Government and Government of India (GoI) on the threat issued by terrorist outfit al Qaeda to establish bases in Assam, and alleged that this happened because of the failure of the Government to solve the problem of infiltration of foreigners, reports Assam Tribune on September 9. AASU 'adviser' Samujjal Bhattacharya said that AASU had been warning the Government that fundamentalist forces managed to establish roots in the State because of inaction on the part of the Government to deal with the problem of infiltration. With the al Qaeda threat, it is now proved that the warnings were correct.

Indian Security Agencies are verifying unconfirmed reports of a young suicide bomber of Chennai origin blowing himself up for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the Syria-Iraq theatre, reports The Times of India on September 13. The reports have become a cause for concern in an atmosphere where security agencies have dependable inputs about 20-30 youth from India fighting along ISIS, even as al Qaeda has floated an Indian subcontinent centric wing named Qaidat al Jihad or al Qaida in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) remains pathologically opposed to India, says the US, in a testimony to the US Senate, Nicholas Rasmussen of the US National Counterterrorism Center stated, The Times of India reports on September 13. Nicholas in his testimony on cyber security and terrorism threats to the US, said, "The group (LeT) is against improving relations between India and Pakistan, and its leaders consistently speak out against India and the United States, accusing both countries of trying to destabilize Pakistan." He observed that LeT provides training to both Pakistani and western militants. Indian terrorism watchers said LeT trains al Qaeda and Afghan Taliban militants. Equally significant was Rasmussen's observation that al Qaeda 'chief' Ayman Al Zawahiri remained the acknowledged leader of global jihad despite the growth of IS. "Al-Qaida leader Ayman Al Zawahiri's public efforts to promote individual acts of violence in the west have increased, as the Pakistan-based group's own capabilities have diminished," he said. "Zawahiri remains the recognized leader of the global jihadist movement among al-Qaida affiliates and allies, and the groups continue to defer to his guidance on critical issues," he added.

When AEH asked people to volunteer, over INR 2,00,000 people signed up. "Not only Muslims, even people from different religions have come forward to volunteer. There are doctors and engineers in the list and these will be sent to Iraq." The members of the committee said that anyone who supports ISIS, Boko Haram, al Qaida isn't a Muslim as no religion allows anyone to kill innocent people. They have also urged the Indian government to take IS seriously as it has threatened to attack Kashmir.

The Sentinel reports that Assam Chief Minister (CM) Tarun Gogoi on September 20 stated that Government had specific information on some fundamentalist groups trying to set up their bases in the State with the help of local militant outfits. “I have a doubt that there is a strategic understanding between the Al–Qaeda and the ULFA-I. We have already alerted all concerned, especially the security agencies. I am also appealing to the people to help the State authorities with information on any such development.”He further added that “As of now, I don’t have concrete information on Al–Qaeda trying to establish its link with the ULFA and the NDFB, but we still have to be on our toes. If these groups are successful in establishing links among themselves, it will be dangerous for the State and the region” The Telegraph further adds that the CM stated that “There is intelligence information that Al Qaida is trying to establish a base in Assam. The government has already taken steps to prevent any such development and has asked all those concerned to remain cautious.”

Aasim Umar, the leader of al Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent, christened Qaedat al-Jihad, is closely working with Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to recruit and train jihadis for operations in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports New Indian Express on September 22. According to intelligence source, Umar is actively involved in recruitment of cadre from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and J&K to carry out fidayeen (suicide) attacks targeting Indian establishments. He is also responsible for generating terror funds through donations using online forums and from sympathisers in West Asia. Although Umar’s first operation, targeting a Pakistan navy frigate in Karachi (the provincial capital of Sindh) in September 15, 2014, resulted in complete failure after three jihadis were killed and four were captured, intelligence officials say Qaedat al-Jihad may soon launch another attack in Pakistan.

Two of the five suspected Ansar-ul-Tawhid fi Bilad al Hind (AuT) militants charge sheeted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) on September 22 had rejected the offer to fight in India preferring to go to Syria instead for religious war, reports The Times of India. They, however, wished that an Iraq-Syria like situation was created in India. According to the NIA charge sheet, Mohammed Shafi Armar and Abdul Kadir Sultan Armar wanted to be sent to Syria and Afghanistan with other jihadis to fight the ‘religious war’. The charge sheet says arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) India 'operations chief' Yasin Bhatkal had asked Shafi to join him in Nepal, where Yasin was hiding before his arrest in 2013, and raise a module to fight against non-Muslims in India. Shafi, however, refused and wanted to be "dispatched to Syria to work with other jihadis and finally die in the battlefield to get heaven". Shafi further said "that he desired that India should also become like Iraq and Syria", the charge sheet adds. Similarly, Yasin had requested Pakistan-based IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal to send Sultan to Nepal, but he too chose to fight in Afghanistan and Syria. Both, according to the charge sheet, had developed contacts with al Qaeda and Taliban. Notably, it is Sultan who recently called on IM to join global jihad under the banner of AuT through a video message uploaded on the net by its 'media wing' Al Isabah media productions. The media wing is suspected to be run by Shafi Armar.

Delhi Police have discovered what they describe as a ‘disturbing trend’ of Indian militants professing admiration for international terror groups like the Islamic State (IS) and al Qaeda, Free Press Journal reports on September 24. “We have noticed a disturbing trend after interrogating some terrorists we have recently captured. They are otherwise tough nuts to crack but profuse in their praise of groups like IS and Al Qaeda,” an unnamed senior police officer said. “Terrorists like Bhatkal [Yasin] and Ajaz Sheikh are very hard to crack. They break down over time and say they would want to launch attacks like ISIS and Al Qaeda. They exude pride as though they were associated with such groups,” said the officer.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has warned that “groups and elements supportive of extremist ideology similar to al-Qaeda” are trying to “increase communal tension” in states like Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi, Deccan Chronicle reports on September 25. The intelligence report (reference no-3627-60 & 3698- 3731/C&R Cell-C-2/SII), has reiterated that al- Qaeda 'chief' Ayman-al-Zawahari, who launched a new branch for the Indian sub-continent, also intends to target commercial centres, tourist destinations, religious places, aviation sector, railways infrastructure and BJP offices in various states, including West Bengal and Assam. The report has been dispatched to all state police agencies. The report further said that the al-Qaeda had launched the new branch with the intention to spread “Islamic rule” and “raise the flag of jihad” across the sub-continent. “Groups and elements supportive of extremists ideology similar to al-Qaeda may try to increase communal tensions in the areas which are sensitive from this angle,” the report says. The IB said there could be a push by “such elements/ groups” towards “recruitment of Indian nationals from Muslim community” in several states. “Apart from commercial, tourist, religious, aviation and railway infrastructure, such groups/ individuals can also target the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP] in various places.” The intelligence agency said that it was also assessed that Pakistan based terrorist planners could always exploit the presence of yet “undetected operatives” of various groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Indian Mujahideen (IM) for conducting “terrorist attacks in India.” “The cadre of these groups are susceptible to the extreme Islamic ideology and therefore could be utilized relatively and easily and in a cost effective manner by such Pakistan based planners,” the report further said.

Investigations by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against key Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives have revealed that their relationship with Pakistan's external intelligence agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has turned sour and is almost on the verge of a breakup, reports DNA India on October 1. The NIA got the whiff of it when scouring through the voluminous chats and e-mail correspondence between senior IM operatives, including Iqbal Bhatkal, Riyaz Bhatkal and Shadaab Beg, it came across that they are not happy with the ISI control and have code named ISI as kutte (dogs) for treating them as slaves living on its crumbs. He IM is now trying to forge alliance with al Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to intensify war against India and some of its members are even fighting against NATO forces in Af-Pak region.
