Three persons have been taken into custody by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on the charge that they were affiliated with the Islamic State (IS), reports oneindia.com. The NIA arrested one person from Alappuzha in Kerala and two from Coimbatore. They were detained on August 3, after raids at their residence following inputs that they were in contact with suspected IS recruits from South India. Data storage devices, mobile phones and other materials were seized. The raids were conducted after obtaining orders from the NIA court in Kochi. Alok Mittal, Inspector-General, NIA, confirmed the detention and said no arrest had been recorded. An NIA Kochi team is interrogating the Alappuzha native, who is employed by a private firm in Kochi, and the two others. Reports said the detained men were maintaining social media contact with suspected IS recruits. The NIA raids were linked to the investigation in a case regarding the Umar Al Hindi module and a meeting held by its members in Kanakamala in Kannur District of Kerala, in October, 2017. According to the NIA charge sheet in the case, members of the module - youth from Kerala and Tamil Nadu entered into a criminal conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) was questioning two more persons from the Coimbatore city (Tamil Nadu), believed to be ‘close friends’ of the duo who were interrogated two days ago in connection with an Islamic State (IS) module busted in Kannur District (Kerala) last year, reports The Indian Express on August 5. A team of officials, led by a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) from Kerala arrived in Coimbatore and took the youths to a Police station for “questioning” about the movement of their friends from Karumbukadai and Ukkadam in the Coimbatore city. According to Police sources, one youth is running a shop that sells second-hand books and the other a shoe outlet in the city. They would either be released after questioning or taken to Kochi, they said.In the past few days, NIA has questioned “a few persons” from Coimbatore and Alappuzha in Kerala as part of its probe in connection with an Islamic State module busted in Kannur District in 2016. The New Indian Express adds that Basil Shihab of Alappuzha (Kerala), Abdul Rahman, of Ukkadam in Coimbatore, and S Abdullah, of Karumbukadai in Coimbatore, are being questioned by the NIA team at its Kochi office since August 4.

A team of Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) arrested a Bangladeshi man, Abdullah al Mamon, suspected of being a member of the banned militant outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) from Uttar Pradesh (UP), on August 6, reports dhakatribune.com. According to an ATS spokesperson, four more people have been arrested following Abdullah’s arrest. Two of them were living in a madrasa (Islamic Seminary). Two were locals, while the others came from Kashmir and Bihar. Indian investigators seized several fake passports, Aadhaar cards and other official documents from Abdullah that he was also holding for other people. They also discovered official seals, duplicated signatures of important officials and copied panchayat pradhans. Indian Police said that Abdullah and his team had succeeded in laying the groundwork for spreading a terror network in the area and were moving into the second or third phase of their operations. Abdullah was also trying to marry a local girl, but his accent was an impediment, said police. He had been working as an Imam for over a year before he was removed because of his accent.The militant was living in the Deoband area of Saharanpur in UP since 2011. He moved to Muzaffarnagar District in July, 2017. Abdullah admitted to have crossed over to India through Assam. He had been active in terror sponsoring activities in Malda District and other areas of West Bengal and was linked to associates in the banned Jam’atul Mujahideen of Bangladesh (JMB) and the Islamic State (IS). He said he was working as a recruiter for the Islamic State. His work in UP as an Imam in mosques, was a cover to hide his main activity, which was to provide shelter and other help for Bangladeshi jihadis crossing over to India.In Malda and Assam, Abdullah said he was indoctrinating younger recruits to the “Islamist cause” with training in arms and the making of explosives and smuggling of weapons. Several batches of indoctrinated young men had been trained so far. The false documents he acquired had helped in establishing new assumed identities for the new recruits, who were sent to different parts of UP, Assam, West Bengal and Bangladesh, according to preliminary reports. They were allegedly carrying on the work of the JMB and similar organisations, apart from organising occasional acts of sabotage and inflaming communal violence.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on August 8, filed a chargesheet against four members of IS’s self-professed Lucknow-Kanpur module, reports Indian Express. Atif Muzaffar, Danish, Syed Mir Hussain and Ghaus Khan, who were allegedly involved in a blast on a Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train in March, 2017 have been charged under the IPC and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act-UAPA. In the chargesheet filed before a special NIA court in Bhopal, the agency has alleged that Muzaffar formed a terrorist gang with several members. An NIA statement said the gang included Danish, Hussain, Khan and one Saifullah and owed allegiance to the IS. Saifullah was killed in an encounter in Lucknow on the day of the blast.The chargesheet said the accused attended Ahl-e-Hadith (religious) programmes and were radicalised after reading online publications, including but not limited to Dabiq (IS) and Inspire (al Qaeda) magazines. “They took ‘Bayath’ (oath of allegiance) to the ISIS and also attempted to do ‘Hijrat’ (migration to ISIS territory) several times through Kashmir, Amritsar, Mumbai and other places,” the NIA said. It alleged that they “conspired to cause subversive activities” threatening India’s sovereignty and safety after failing to do so. “To this effect, they shifted to a hideout at Lucknow and collected arms and fabricated improvised explosive devices (IEDs). They conducted trial blasts and also killed a teacher at Kanpur in November 2016 using the arms they had purchased,” the NIA said. The statement said that after the blast, Muzaffar, Danish and Hussain, who planted the bomb when the train was at Bhopal station, tried to flee to Lucknow but were arrested at Pipariya in MP. The statement said the evidence with NIA establishes criminal conspiracy and the terror act committed by these accused.

According to a United Nations (UN) report, the Islamic State (IS) terror group enlists "partners of convenience" in Afghanistan and "outsources" terror attacks to Pakistan-based outfits like the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, reports The Times of India on August 11. The 20th report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team was submitted to the UN Security Council al-Qaida Sanctions Committee. It said that in South Asia, the al Qaeda's core continues to compete with the Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), for dominance over terrorist groups in the region. The report said the current leader of al-Qaeda Aiman al-Zawahiri "is still assumed" to be in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. "ISIL in Afghanistan tends to enlist partners of convenience and 'outsources' terrorist attacks to other groups such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) splinter group," the report said..It said that the al Qaeda core and its regional affiliates continue to actively cooperate with the Afghan Taliban in return for sanctuary and operating space. "By embedding itself within the Taliban movement, the al Qaeda core also aims to maintain local bases of influence as a part of the wider Afghan insurgency and receives operational support from the Taliban for its regional affiliate, al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS)," the report said. It cited a UN Member state, which informed the committee that AQIS comprises around 200 fighters, who operate as advisers and trainers of the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. Individuals associated with the al Qaeda core are active in Paktika, Paktiya, Khost, Kunar and Nuristan provinces of Afghanistan, the report said. It said that the ISIS core continues to fund the group in Afghanistan, noting that while sometimes the financial flows are robust, other times they run dry. "In the assessment of one Member State, ISIL in Afghanistan would not exist without support from the ISIL core. However, the ISIL core has instructed its affiliate in Afghanistan to begin to develop its own internal funding sources," the report said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on August 11 filed a charge sheet against Islamic State (IS) operative Moinudheen Parakadavath, who was a member of outfit called Ansar-ul-Khilafah Kerala (soldiers of the Caliphate as propagated by IS), formed by Shajeer Mangalessary, reports The Times of India. Moinudheen, a resident of Kasaragod District, had also travelled to Tehran (Iran) along with the group leader Shajeer and even met five members of the 22 missing persons from Kerala, who are now in Afghanistan, at the Iran border. He was deported from UAE (United Arab Emirates) on February 15, 2017.He had told the investigators that the eight member group wanted to target several Hindu leaders, Ahmadiyya mosques and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind to "create ripples" in India and mark IS's presence. In one of his conversations in a closed IS group on `Telegram' channel, he had informed NIA officials, that someone posted details of a Jamaat-e-Islami programme to be held in Kochi last year (2016) where Rahul Eashwar, a Hindu orator, was invited as a speaker. "One person suggested that we should target such events. I suggested that Kochi Jewish temple is also close to the venue. Someone suggested that we should use a bike to carry out the attack. But I suggested that we should use a tipper lorry for the attack," Moinudheen said during his interrogation. About the missing 22 persons from Kerala, who are now said to be in Nangarhar in Afghanistan, Moinudheen had said that while he tried to reach IS territory via Tehran in June 2016, he met five of them on the Iraq border. "I was travelling from Abu Dhabi to Tehran with Shajeer Mangalasseri Abdulla, another resident of Kasaragod in Kerala. We reached Tehran in June. After travelling 15 hours from Tehran to the city of Mashhad in Iran, we were informed on chat that there were some Keralites in Mashhad who were also travelling to IS territory and if we would like to meet them," he said. "We met five persons from Kasaragod in Mashhad - Dr Ijas, Marwan, Manzad, Hafeesudheen and one more person whose name I don't remember," he told his interrogators.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has received information that the major chunk of foreign funds routed from Qatar to Malabar region (Kerala) in the name of charity works has been distributed to agencies related to an organisation having alleged links with terror outfits, reports Mathrubhumi on August 13. Around INR 96 crore was received by agencies affiliated to this organisation. Sources said the money has been transferred to various parts of the country.Earlier, officials had received information that the perpetrators of terror attacks in Hyderabad and Bengaluru received financial assistance from Kerala. According to NIA, majority of the NGOs (non-profit organizations) that received funds exist only in paper. Further, it is learnt that the functionaries of the outfit, who are under the clouds of suspicion for their role in recruitment to Islamic State (IS) and terror outfits in Kashmir, have purchased properties and buildings in Wayanad, Kozhikode, Malappuram Districts. Officials have raised suspicions that foreign funds were used for major real estate deals carried out before the demonetisation. It may be noted that the NGO was active in social service and other philanthropic activities in the last five years and the office-bearers used it as a cover to receive funds from Qatar.

With the country ranking second globally for online searches on the Islamic State (IS), the Kerala Police have been on a high alert to spot the potential homegrown recruits who are being radicalised online, reports The Hindu on August 19. A senior officer with the Kerala Police said a good number of these searches on the outlawed outfit were from the State, also alluding to the possible radicalisation of youths through the Internet. “We have prioritized about 60 user accounts associated with or sharing extremist material and have zoomed in to examine the persons of interest closely,’’ the official said. The majority of these groups intend to propagate the ideology of Islamic terrorism by posting communally flared up videos and pictures coupled with vitriolic messages, while there are also a few that espouse the cause of a Hindu Rashtra and Left Wing Extremism (LWE). The department has succeeded in sneaking into some of these groups using fake profiles. Besides the social media accounts, the Police are also monitoring their Internet usage patterns and the kind of websites they are surfing to trace their interaction with the terror outfit’s propagandists in West Asia.According to officers, the number of these groups almost remained stable over the past several months. They, however, have noticed a recent trend of some of the members of these groups making one-to-one communications on their individual capacity as well. Besides monitoring their activities, the Police often disrupt their messages and even delete whole of their contents and post counter-messages. Besides, tracking the handlers of these pages and booking them under Indian Penal Code (IPC) 153(A) may not be practical given that the majority of them are settled abroad, report said.

The official media channel of Islamic State (IS), Amaq Agency claimed that an Indian suicide bomber Abu Yusuf al-Hindi killed many Kurdistan fighters in an attack in Syria's Raqqa area, oneindia.com reports on August 22. In a statement in Arabic via its Amaq propaganda agency, the IS identified the Indian suicide bomber as Abu Yusuf al- Hindi, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a US-based monitoring firm. The terror group claimed killing and wounding a "number" of what it described as "Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) apostates" in the suicide attack involving the Indian bomber.However, there was no confirmation about the IS claim by the Indian agencies. Abu Yusuf al-Hindi was the fugitive ‘chief recruiter’ for the IS in the Indian subcontinent and was known as Mohammed Shafi Armar, who had many aliases like 'Chhote Maula' and 'Anjan Bhai'. The 30-year-old was named a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' by the US in June, 2017, becoming the first Indian leader of the IS against whom America slammed sanctions. An Interpol Red Corner notice was also pending against him. Al-Hindi, a native of Bhatkal in Karnataka, was a leader and head recruiter in India for the Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) group, IS, according to the US State Department.He was said to have left for Pakistan along with his elder brother after crackdown on Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadres. There have been many reports of him having been dead in a drone attack or crackdown by the allied forces. However, every time intelligence agencies began giving credence to such reports, his name or voice cropped up in intercepts. Tech savvy al-Hindi has been operating on Facebook and other personal messenger services to contact, brainwash and recruit youths from India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. His links to the IS were also the highlight of the interrogation of Yasin Bhatkal, who was arrested near the Nepal border in 2013.
