The United Arab Emirates (UAE) deported Rehan Abidi—resident of Uttar Pradesh and other four unidentified persons who are accused to be Islamic State (IS) operatives, from Abu Dhabi to India, reports The Times of India on March 1. Apart from Rehan Abidi, two persons belong to Mumbai, Maharashtra and other two belong to Chennai (Tamil Nadu). All five suspects are of the age group of 20-25 years and well known to each other. The UAE Intelligence agency intercepted the communication between them in which they were laying out a plan to recruit more persons and wage jihad against India. They were in contact with their IS leaders, said an unnamed Indian Intelligence officer. The Indian Intelligence agencies would probe Rehan Abidi and his associates over their plans. The UAE law-enforcement authorities had kept them in custody for almost three months on the basis of strong evidences of their connection with IS, said an unnamed officer involved with the case. The Indian Intelligence agencies refused to reveal the name of other four suspects except Rehan Abidi. However, Indian Intelligence agencies found no connection between all five suspects and any terrorist organisation, reports India Today on March 1. These five Indian youths were deported not for any terror links but because of ‘undesirable activities’ in the UAE. Reportedly, they were together in a ‘party’ therefore, a homosexuality angle was also being investigated, which is a crime in UAE.

In an Islamic Conference schedule to be held on March 9-10, the Chief of Ahle Hadith—a large Sunni sect, on March 7 has proposed to declare Islamic State’s (IS) “terror tactics” as un-Islamic through a fatwa, reports Hindustan Times. The fatwa has been endorsed by 40 senior scholars associated with the New Delhi-based Markazi Jamiat Ahle-Hadees Hind, the main body representing the sect, said the appointed leader of the group Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mahadi Salafi. It is India’s Constitution, the Judiciary system, and the involvement of civil society which are great avenues of justice. This all makes Indian Islamic model the only working model, said former head of Islamic Studies at Jamia Millia Islamia (University) Akhtarul Wassey. In 2007, Uttar Pradesh’s Darul Uloom seminary located in Deoband in Saharanpur District had issued a similar anti-terror declaration, but this is the first time that a prominent Islamic religious-conservative group closely identified with Salafists would rule against the IS.

Three top militantswere killed in an encounter at Hakoora area of Anantnag District early on March 12, reports Daily Excelsior. On the basis of the specific inputs about the presence of militants inside a residential house in the village, the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police, Army, and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) cordoned off Hakoora village at around 12:30 am. As the searches were conducted some warning shots were fired towards the house where the militants were hiding. Three militants tried to break the cordon and opened fire upon the Security Forces (SFs). SFs retaliated triggering a brief gun battle in which three militants were killed. Three AK-47 rifles were recovered from the deceased militants, who belonged to Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfits. Two of the militants have been identified as Mohammad Esha Fazili alias Esha Roohula of Soura area of Srinagar and Syed Owais Shafi of Voiloo in Kokernag. The identity of the third militant is being ascertained, However, Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen identified him as Sabzar Ahmad Sofi. Esha Fazili was student of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU), where he was doing B Tech. He left the studies last year (2017) and joined militancy. Syed Owais Shafi had completed B Tech from the same University and joined the militancy in November 2017. A Police spokesman said “In the process arms and ammunition which include AK 47 rifles, pistols, hand grenades etc were recovered from the encounter site. Further in the incident, no collateral damage has taken place”. “It is pertinent to mention here that among the killed militants, one was involved in a recent attack on a police guard post at Soura in which one police constable had attained martyrdom. In this connection, a case has been registered and investigation has been started under the relevant provisions of the law by the police”, the spokesman said. The Times of Indiaadds that one of the three terrorist killed in the encounter was ‘emir’ of Islamic State (IS) in Jammu and Kashmir, Eisa Fazili alias Abu Yahya al Istashadi. The IS ‘commander’, Abu Yahya, was a top target for SFs in the last six months. The other two have been identified as Syed Owais Shafi alias Abu Barra al Kashmiri and Sultan al Hyderabadi alias Abu Zarr al Hindi. The trio was earlier affiliated to groups like the TuM and HM but had pledged allegiance to Islamic State (ISJK) last year (2017). They are part of a small but significant number of terrorists who have left groups like HM, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) or Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to declare their allegiance to IS. The group sees Hurriyat as “compromised” politicians and its online propagation is resulting in a steady stream of recruits. IS confirmed their “martyrdom” on its Telegram channels on March 12. “Blessed night for bless brothers.. Brother Abu Yahya, Abu Barra and Abu Zarr got what they desired.. Blessed Shahdah (inshallah)... Yesterday in an encounter with the Mishrik Indian Army and apostate Kashmiri Police at Islamabad district of Indian Kshmir,” the message said. In December, pro-IS media channel al-Qaraar had released a video identifying Abu Yahya as the “emir of Kashmir”.

The case of ‘Islamic State (IS) recruitment’ filed against 10 people including a resident of Peringadi near Mahe in Puducherry, has several loopholes and went against the established facts of the modus operandi of IS, reports The Times of India on March 17. The Kerala Police had filed a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UA(P)A] on the basis of a complaint filed by an unnamed girl against the accused Mohammed Riyaz and his associates for ‘trying to sell-off the girl as a sex slave to the IS operatives in Syria’. Earlier, the girl informed the High Court, that she married Riyaz at Bangalore (Karnataka) and converted to Islam on her own. But now the Police said that the accused had taken the nude photos of the girl and compelled her to depose in favour of Riyaz in the court. The girl was in the custody of her parents, so how is it possible that she was threaten by showing the nude photos of her, said a close friend of Mohammed Riyaz. The case is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Two of Riyaz’s friends hailing from Paravur in Ernakulam District were arrested and have been released on bail, later. Mohammed Riyaz who was arrested at Chennai (Tamil Nadu) when he arrived from Saudi Arabia, is still in Police custody.

39 Indians abducted by the Islamic State (IS) in Mosul in Iraq three years ago have died, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said in Rajya Sabha (the Upper House of Indian Parliament) on March 20 (today), reports First Post. "Deep penetration radar confirmed that all Indians were dead after all bodies were exhumed," Sushma Swaraj said, adding that the mortal remains of the persons were sent to Baghdad. "For verification of the bodies, DNA samples of their relatives were sent there. Four state government — Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar were involved in the process," she said. General VK Singh will travel to Iraq to bring back the mortal remains of the Indians killed, the Minister said. "The plane carrying mortal remains will first go to Amritsar, then to Patna and then to Kolkata."The search for the missing persons carried on for most of 2017, with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) claiming no knowledge of their location. In July 2017, after ruckus in the Lok Sabha (the Lower House of Indian Parliament) over the issue of the 39 Indians missing in Mosul, Swaraj said that there is no evidence to substantiate the claim that they have died. "And declaring anyone dead without proof is a sin that I won't commit," she had said. The group of 40 Indian labourers, mostly from Punjab, was taken hostage by the Islamic State when it overran Iraq's second largest city, Mosul, in 2014. The workers were reportedly trying to leave Mosul when they were intercepted. However, one of them escaped by posing as a Muslim from Bangladesh.

After the incidents of Burdwan blasts in West Bengal in 2014, and Bodh Gaya IED explosions in January 2018—both perpetrated by Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), the arrests of ABT operatives is a serious concern, said an unnamed senior Intelligence official. The ATS has specific information that ABT has conducted reconnaissance of several locations in India, including Mumbai (Maharashtra). On the other side, IS has established its presence directly or indirectly in 21 countries, including Bangladesh. ABT is affiliated with al Qaeda and IS originated from al Qaeda itself, therefore the possibility of allegiance of ABT to IS could not be denied. India has always been on the IS hit list; several operatives have been arrested in the past, and several have gone from India to join the IS,” said an unnamed officer involved in the case.However, Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) has been cracking down the network of ABT operatives in India. ABT was banned in Bangladesh and taking advantage of bordering India, the ABT operatives entered into India illegally and spread-out in the country, reports The Free Press Journal on March 21. ABT—which is a front organisation of al Qaeda, is a new threat to India. Their members’ success rate in Integrated Explosive Device (IED) blasts in 100 percent, said an unnamed officer. Last week, the Maharashtra ATS has arrested five Bangladeshi nationals who are the members of ABT. They have been booked under Sections of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UA(P)A] 1967, the Indian Penal Code (IPC), The Passport (Entry into India) Rules 1950, The Foreigners’ Order 1948, and The Foreigners Act 1946.
