Terror outfit Islamic State (IS) had not been able to set foot in India, Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh said on June 3, reports Mid Day. Barring two terror attacks in Punjab in 2015-16, the security situation in the country had by and large remained under control, the minister said. More than 90 sympathisers of IS had been arrested due to better coordination between state and central security agencies. Five terrorists of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) group were given capital punishment as part of the government's focused efforts to check terrorism, Singh said.India is the second largest country as far as Muslim population in the world is concerned. I can say with full responsibility that despite such a large population [of Muslims], the IS has not been able to set foot," he said. He added there had been a 45 per cent reduction in infiltration attempts from Pakistan since the surgical strike by the Army in September 2016, compared to the corresponding six months in the previous year.

The National Investigative Agency (NIA) has uncovered evidence to show that key aides of Zakir Naik helped Indian youth convert to Islam, and these youth then left for Afghanistan to join the Islamic State (IS), India Today reports on June 14. On September 12, 2014, Bestin Vincent Francis became Yahiya. Three of his associates converted in the next few months. Raids by the NIA on Zakir Naik's close aide Rizwan Illiyas Khan eventually blew the lid off this terror chain. Rizwan, according to the probe body, was closely involved in processing the documents of conversion to Islam. In all, 78 affidavits, including the ones for Bestin Vincent, Bexen Vincent alias Isa, Merin Jacob alias Mariyam, and Nimisha alias Fatima, were seized from the residence.Apart from Rizwan, another Naik aide, Arshi Qureshi, was closely involved in active conversion of people from other religions to Islam and radicalising them to follow the path of IS. NIA has collected material to show that Francis and his three associates were among the 24 youths who migrated from Kerala to Afghanistan to join IS. All of the accused were regular visitors to the office of Naik's Mumbai-based non-profit Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) and attended meetings that took place between key Naik aide Arshi Qureshi and the youths.

Mohammad Shafi Armar alias Yousuf-al Hindi, has been designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) by the US Department of State on June 15, reports Times of India. Armar is responsible for forming several Islamic State (IS) affiliated groups in India in the last three years. It is suspected that Shafi was in touch with at least 600-700 Indian youngsters on closed Facebook groups.He formed Junood al Khalifa e Hind (JKH), in which more than 50 Indian youngsters were recruited. Shafi has reportedly become an important ally of IS 'chief' Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and deputies in establishing the outfit in India. The US move not only verifies the identity and existence of the elusive IS India head but also clears rumours about his death in Syria. This also indicates that the report of his proximity with IS chief Abu Bakr al Baghdadi could well be true.The department of state has said that it had designated Mohammad Shafi Armar, Oussama Ahmad Atar and Mohammed Isa Yousif Saqar Al Binali as SDGTs under Section 1(b) of Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, which imposes sanctions on foreign persons determined to have committed, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of US nationals, or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.

A street in Thuruthi ward of Kasaragod municipality that was recently named 'Gaza', a reference to the disputed strip of land between Israel and Egypt, under Palestinian self-rule, has got intelligence agencies interested, The Times of India reports on June 19. The agencies are looking at possible radical influence behind the naming, considering the locality's proximity to Padane from where the majority of the 21 youths from Kerala, who have gone missing since 2016 and are suspected to have joined the Islamic State (IS) hail. The road adjacent to Thuruthi Juma Masjid was named 'Gaza' last month and was inaugurated by Kasaragod District panchayat president AGC Basheer. "I was not the person who was supposed to inaugurate the street as the area falls under the municipality's jurisdiction. But I had to step in at the last moment," Basheer said.

News has been received here about the death of another Kerala resident, Sajeer M. Abdullah who had gone to Afghanistan to join the Islamic State (IS) terror group, an intelligence official said on June 19, reports Times Now. The news about the death of Sajeer and a picture of his body was received on the mobile of a man, whose relative is among the 21 Keralites who left their homes here to join the IS, said the official of the Kerala Police's intelligence unit. However, there was no information about time and cause of Abdullah's death. An intelligence official told that the news and picture came to the same person who received reports about the death of three others of this group during the course of this year. "Beyond this, there are no other details...we have done what we normally do when we get these types of reports," said the official.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has created a video aimed at making parents aware about the dangers of online radicalisation, India Today reports on June 21. The video is part of a campaign that the ATS plans to run with the help of celebrities. Over the last few years, the Maharashtra ATS has dealt with a lot of cases where youngsters have been radicalised online and brought into the Islamic State (IS) fold. Dealing with such cases, the agency has concluded that online radicalisation is three times more effective and faster than physical indoctrination.However, keeping the complexity in mind the Maharashtra ATS has initiated a policy under which parents are requested to come forward and inform them if they see any changes in the behaviour of their children and if they find them suddenly spending a lot of time on the internet. Under the policy, ATS will not take any legal action against the children but will instead help with counseling to de-radicalise them. The Maharashtra ATS has also gotten in touch with community leaders to bring the youths back into the mainstream society. Identity of youths who have been de-radicalised is kept confidential.

India's Ambassador to United Nations (UN) Syed Akbaruddin on June 21, urged the international community to 'ensure that the resurgent forces of terrorism and extremism do not find sanctuaries and safe havens anywhere and at any level', reports newsnation.in. Presenting India's arguments during the debate on the situation in Afghanistan, Akbaruddin stressed on the need of eyeing all terrorists with same lens, "We must not differentiate between good and bad terrorists, or play one group against the other.""The Taliban, Haqqani Network, Al-Qaeda, Daesh, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and others of their ilk are all terror organizations, many of them proscribed by the UN. They should be treated like terrorist organizations with no justifications offered for their activities," he added.In the backdrop of ever increasing tension between India and Pakistan on the issues of Kashmir and Balochistan, the Indian ambassador questioned the availability of the weapons and resources to terrorists in Afghanistan, "...where are these anti-Government elements getting their weapons, explosives, training and funding from? Where do they find safe havens and sanctuaries? How is it that these elements have stood up against one of the biggest collective military efforts in the world?"Akbaruddin also strongly condemned international community's lack of attention towards the crisis in Afghanistan, "Despite the worst possible violence witnessed in Afghanistan, this Council doesn't think appropriate to meet more often than at routine quarterly debates on the situation in Afghanistan. At times, the Council has even shied away from condemning some of the terrorist attacks in Afghanistan. Is it that they are far too many to keep track of? Is it because there is a threshold below which human lives lost to terrorism are not required to be addressed?"

Shifting its focus to the Indian subcontinent, global terror outfit al Qaeda has said it will target Indian security installations and leaders of Hindu "separatist" organisations, reports The Times of India on June 27. The outfit has released an elaborate document titled 'Code of conduct for Mujahideen in the subcontinent' detailing its objectives, targets, and do's and don'ts for members. "All personnel of the military are our targets, whether they be in the war zone or in barracks at their bases. Even the personnel on vacation are not exempted due to their battle against implementation of sharia," the outfit said in the document. This is an exact reproduction of the text, "Officers are a greater priority than soldiers. The greater is the seniority, greater is our priority to kill him. Those officers of the military who have the blood of our Kashmiri brothers on their hands are our targets," the outfit said. The document makes several references to Kashmir, and the opening note even refers to a resident of Uttar Pradesh (UP)'s Sambhal, Maulana Asim Umar, as the 'emir' or chief of the so-called al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).Indian intelligence sources said they were keeping a close tab on the development as it comes soon after former Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘commander’ Zakir Musa floated a new outfit and openly acknowledged support from al Qaeda. The document also mentions that hostages should either be traded for a brother, given up for ransom or be killed, besides elaborating on targets in Pakistan, Arakan (Myanmar) and Bangladesh. Sources said the most worrying part was that the outfit had invited different groups fighting in the subcontinent to pledge their allegiance to what they refer to as the "Islamic emirate of Afghanistan", and stand up against intelligence agencies and the groups they sponsor.According to an official dealing in counter terror operations, al Qaeda is also trying to establish that its objectives and modus operandi are completely different from that of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS), its arch rival. "The document mentions that the Mujahideen will not attack common Hindus, Muslims or Buddhists and also not strike places of worship. This is in sharp contrast with ISIS which has been targeting mosques on priority," the official added.

The mastermind of 1993 Mumbai bomb blast Dawood Ibrahim, finds mention in the Indo-US joint statement, sify.com reports on June 27. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump stressed that terrorism is a global scourge that must be fought and terrorist safe havens rooted out in every part of the world. They resolved that India and the United States will fight together against this grave challenge to humanity. They committed to strengthen cooperation against terrorist threats from groups including Al-Qaeda, Islamic State (IS), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Tayiba (LeT), D-Company, and their affiliates. India appreciated the United States designation of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) leader as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist as evidence of the commitment of the United States to end terror in all its forms. In this spirit, the leaders welcomed a new consultation mechanism on domestic and international terrorist designations listing proposals.The leaders also called on Pakistan to ensure that its territory is not used to launch terrorist attacks on other countries. They further called on Pakistan to expeditiously bring to justice the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai, Pathankot, and other cross-border terrorist attacks perpetrated by Pakistan-based groups. The leaders announced increased cooperation to prevent terrorist travel and to disrupt global recruitment efforts by expanding intelligence-sharing and operational-level counter-terrorism cooperation. They welcomed the commencement of the exchange of information on known and suspected terrorists for travel screening. They further resolved to strengthen information exchange on plans, movements and linkages of terrorist groups and their leaders, as well as on raising and moving of funds by terrorist groups.

One of the two Islamic State (IS) recruiters behind the online identity Yusuf-al-Hindi, could possibly have been Mohammad Sajid alias Bada Sajid, who hailed from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh and is believed by Indian agencies to have been killed in 2015 while fighting in Syria, reports The Indian Express on June 28. This is what IS sympathiser Amzad Khan, who was deported to India from Saudi Arabia in April, has indicated to interrogators, while identifying a photograph of Yusuf-al-Hindi, sources said. Sajid was a member of Indian Mujahideen (IM) before fleeing to Pakistan after a security crackdown in 2008, from where he and Karnataka-born Shafi Armar migrated to Afghanistan and Syria. Armar was recently designated as a ‘global terrorist’ by the United States (US).Investigators believe that Sajid and Armar had radicalised Indians online using the same identity — Yusuf-al-Hindi. “It is possible that after Sajid’s death, Armar has been handling the account,” said sources. According to sources, Khan, a 37-year-old from Rajasthan, told interrogators: “In the beginning, Yusuf had set a photo taken from his back as his profile picture (on his Telegram account). By the end of December 2015, he changed it to one taken from the front.” Investigators believe this image was one of the same set of photographs taken from two angles. Khan told interrogators that he later saw the same person in a video posted on social media by the IS in May 2016, purportedly showing those who had gone to Syria from Maharashtra.

Days after news of the massive Islamic State (IS) recruitment drive from north Kerala's villages in mid-2016 shocked the state, Kerala police launched a de-radicalisation drive named Operation Pigeon aimed at preventing a repeat of a Padanne-like situation, The Times of India reports on June 30. What started as a focused drive in "certain areas'' in Kasaragod District, spread across the state with various agencies mining social media to prepare a list of "vulnerable Malayali youth'. The tally at the end of initial online recce came to 350. All Districts except Pathanamthitta reported footprints of recruiters who had "made more than preliminary contacts with them''. The state intelligence sleuths formed a special task force with personnel from NIA and IB. "Kannur district topped with 118 names followed by Malappuram (89) and Kasaragod (66),'' a top source told. While Kozhikode had 25 youth with ``deep interest'', Palakkad reported 16. ``It was single digit for the rest. And there was not even one girl in this list of 350,'' he said. A common factor binding all 350 youth, apart from their rigid religious routine, was their education background. "All are in the twenties. Many are pursuing engineering and medicine. We can't say even one of them was an illiterate,'' DGP B S Mohammed Yasin, head of state intelligence, said while confirming the campaign. The special team touched base with community elders and parents of these youth as a first step. "The response was very positive. But for their support, we wouldn't have been possible to roll out this campaign,'' he said. The police organised individual and collective counselling sessions for the youth. The sessions were handled by specially-trained personnel from NIA and IB, sources said. Operation Pigeon's first phase saw a majority of the youth realising that "the route was not as easy as they were made to believe''. But about 30 youngsters were firm in their commitment. We continue to engage them ``without ruffling any feelings'', sources said. The best part of the campaign, a senior officer said, was that not even one mosque committee or a single parent protested against police's frequent visits.
