One Japanese national was shot to death by unidentified armed men in Rangpur District on October 3, reports The Daily Star. Hoshi Kunio (66), was gunned down when he was going by a rickshaw to his grass farm at Alutari in the District's Kaunia sub-District. The Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the murder and warned of more such attacks. "There will continue to be a series of ongoing security operations against nationals of crusader coalition countries, they will not have safety or a livelihood in Muslim lands," both Reuters and Vice News quoted the terror group as tweeting.

The account from which messages relating to Areeb Majeed one of the four youth who had joined the Islamic State (IS) were being posted has been traced to the Ansar-ul-Tawhid (AuT), oneindia.com reports on October 3. A handle@spamci17 had put out a series of tweets claiming that Areeb Majeed had returned to India only to carry out a suicide attack on a Police Station. Indian Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials say that the account was being handled by a member of the Ansar-ul-Tawhid or the erstwhile Indian Mujahideen. According to IB report, AUT was started a year ago by Sultan Armar. However with conflicting reports of his death being posted on the IS media, the outfit is said to be handled now by brother Shafi Armar. There has been a pause in the recruitment process from India and hence messages on social media accounts are being posted to give a brighter side to the IS. The account from which the Areeb Majeed messages were tweeted has now been taken down. Intelligence Agencies say that it is the same person who continues to tweet under different handles. He has tweeted similar material in the past as well and the account has been taken down. With the IS's social media team, it is always a catch and mouse game. There are nearly 45,000 accounts sympathetic to the IS that are being run on the social media. Around 200 are related to India. These accounts disappear and then resurface. There is a need to constantly monitor these accounts. These accounts post propaganda material and also suggest routes and means on how to reach the IS camps, the officer also adds.

According to Intelligence Bureau (IB) report, Islamic State (IS) has put up posters in West Bengal Districts of Murshidabad and Nadia bordering Bangladesh, in a bid to attract people, New Indian Express reports on October 4. The cyber cell of the IB has conducted a national survey to mark the areas from where the IS is trying to recruit youths. Among the five top states are Jammu and Kashmir, West Bengal, Assam, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Apart from bordering Districts, even Howrah in West Bengal figures on the list. The survey found that many, including women aged between 16 and 30, are showing interest in IS related activities on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. In September, where officials of the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) were present, the Police Chiefs were directed to form special teams to keep a watch on websites that are allegedly trying to recruit for the IS. They were also told to seek help of Muslim religious leaders to preach against the hatred and violence preached by the IS. An NTRO official said the scenario in West Bengal was particularly “disturbing as several youths were preaching and recruiting for the IS from the state by using the Internet”.

Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha on October 5 said that terrorism has become a serious threat to the security of Bangladesh and there was an urgent need to curb activities of groups like Islamic State (IS), reports New Nation. He said, "We are trying hard to combat terrorism. It is a global issue, which India and Bangladesh are facing at the same time. Terrorism has become a major problem now. ISIS was behind several acts, such as burning of Jordanian pilot, mass slaughter, beheading, stoning, etc. We need to put an end to these acts by ISIS. In Bangladesh, terrorism has become a serious threat to our national security. It has become a threat to life, economy and political as well as religious pluralism in Bangladesh."

Indian agencies seem to discount the possibility of Islamic State's (IS) involvement in the recent killings of an Italian and a Japanese national in Bangladesh, The Times of India reports on October 6. They have instead sought to blame Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) rebels and see the murderous attacks as a ploy to draw attention of the Western nations to "targeting of their top leaders for 1971 war crimes without proper trial as required by an international war tribunal". "The hanging of some top Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) leaders may be due in the near future; one of the most prominent leaders on the death row is Motiur Rahman Nizami, whose appeal is now being heard by the Supreme Court," a senior officer of the Indian establishment pointed out. "The attacks on foreigners seem to aimed at drawing the immediate attention of the West. Also, given that IS generates the widest interest across the globe, JeI may be projecting attacks by extremists linked to it as those executed by IS. This attracts immediate condemnation by the western world and may further JeI's intention to project the Hasina government as ineffective in managing the security situation," said the officer. Agencies feel the Bangladesh killings do not bear the IS hallmark. Beheading victims and videographing the brutal murders is a known modus operandi of IS and the killings in Bangladesh were both shooting incidents. Though Bangladesh has rounded up some suspects, no evidence of their links with IS has been found so far. "Those detained may not be the real perpetrators, but investigations are on to identify them...but until now, there is nothing beyond a claim to establish any IS link," said an official following the events in Bangladesh.

Wary of the threat posed by Islamic State (IS) in Indian sub-continent, intelligence experts are attending back to back meetings in different countries to discuss strategy to deal with the menace, The Times of India reports on October 5. Director General of National Investigation Agency (NIA), Sharad Kumar, recently represented India at a special meet in Holland (September 23-24) where issues related to Islamic State's influence here, sharing of intelligence on youngsters joining or planning to join the outfit, de-radicalizing them, preventive measures, role of civil society and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in educating against terrorism and need for a stricter law were discussed. A week before deliberations in Holland, three Indian officials, deputed by Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) went to Istanbul (Turkey) to attend Interpol's meet to review challenges and strengthen regional and international responses to the threat posed by Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs), as most of the 15,000 IS fighters are from foreign countries. About 35 countries had participated in the meet. In Istanbul, an officer said, "the sharing of actionable inputs between counter-terrorism agencies, databases, understanding modus operandi of the terrorist recruiters and facilitators and giving access to interrogation details of captured suspects was discussed". Similarly, five officers from Intelligence Bureau (IB), UMHA and other agencies had separate interactions few weeks back with investigators in Turkey, hard hit by IS activities for the reason that it shares its border with Syria, in which sharing of intelligence was agreed upon. Indian officials are also having a series of meetings with several other countries like Australia, Spain, UK, Switzerland, Canada and United States (US) etc to increase cooperation on anti-terrorism with each other. "The IS members and other terrorists outfits like Al-Qaeda are increasingly radicalizing and inciting individuals in most of the countries, mostly on the internet, to leave their homes and become foreign terrorist fighters. The use of internet and social media for recruitment is a serious concern which is included in these talks. Many countries have pointed out that those who are joining Islamic State or other organizations have used fraudulent identities for the jehadi purpose. It is a herculean task to watch every traveler but every country including us are trying to monitor suspicious persons," said a senior government official. According to figures shared by intelligence agencies, about 17 Indian youths have so joined IS out of which 7 have died while 10 are stilling fighting there. About two dozen youngsters have been prevented by Indian agencies from joining the outfit and de-radicalized while about 13 Indians in UAE, out of which 8 were recently deported, have made attempts to join IS. A senior officer said "The number looks small but there are possibly many more who we have not been able to trace yet."

A 28-year-old youth from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, who went to Syria about six months back to join the Islamic State (IS), recently called his family from Raqqa (Syria) and asked his parents to help him come back home, The Times of India reports on October 10. The IS recruit is said to be scared of dying in air strikes and has been frantically calling his family members to facilitate his return to India. "He is also frustrated with the activities of IS and desperately wants to come back," said an intelligence officer. The youth was recruited by IS and sent to Syria about six months back via Turkey by a Dubai-based operative of the militant outfit. However, his family didn't know about his whereabouts for the past six months and approached the security agencies after receiving his call. The intelligence agencies are making efforts to bring him back. In Lucknow, Additional Director General of Police (ADG) (law and order) Daljit Singh Chowdhury said the state police is coordinating with intelligence agencies in Delhi. "Only on Saturday I would be able to divulge name of the youth and other details," said Chowdhury. The Dubai-based IS operative had found the Azamgarh youth surfing about the militant outfit. Later the Class XII passout, son an artisan, decided to go to Syria. He arranged money for his flight to Turkey from where he went to Syria. Officials said the Azamgarh youth is the 20th Indian so far to have travelled to Iraq and Syria after being radicalised.

Inspector General of Police Ghulam Hyder Jamali while briefing a parliamentary panel on October 12 said that the Islamic State (IS), also known as Daesh, was active in the Province and it had links with the sectarian militant outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ). The Sindh Police chief shared details of the arrested suspects and their alleged involvement in terrorism, particularly the May 13, 2015, Safoora bus attack. “They [the suspects] wanted to set up a self-styled caliphate in Pakistan,” Jamali told the Senate Standing Committee on Interior. He said investigations into the Safoora carnage revealed that Abdul Aziz, the kingpin of the group, had escaped to Syria and was involved in almost all the recent terror attacks along with his lieutenant Azhar Minhas. “These two most-wanted men are affiliated with the LeJ and are influenced by late Islamic scholar Dr Israr Ahmad’s philosophy of Islamic caliphate.” The Police chief said the two men were associated with al Qaeda for the past four to five years and with IS,.

According to a Joint Interrogation Team (JIT) report on the mastermind of the May 13, 2015 attack on the Ismaili community, known as the Safoora carnage, revealed that the group was receiving funding from the Islamic State (IS) also known as Daesh. The JIT report on the mastermind, Tahir Hussain Minhas, who established his own group linked with Daesh, revealed that the group was receiving funds from different countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. “The group has remained in touch with IS,” said an unnamed official. “This group comprised at least 53 members, who previously belonged to different militant outfits, including Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and al Qaeda.” Minhas revealed that Abdullah bin Yousuf alias Abdul Aziz alias Saqib is the 'chief' of IS in Pakistan, while Omar Afzal alias Jawad is the al Qaeda Sindh Chapter 'chief'

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has blocked a website, Isdarat.in that was allegedly propagating jihadi content and urging Indians to join the Islamic State (IS), Indian Express reports on October 14. The crackdown followed the agency scouting for internet content aimed at inciting Indians to either take up arms in West Asia or commit acts of terror in India. Isdarat.in was blocked around a fortnight ago after sleuths from the state counter-terrorism agency stumbled upon the website that used Arabic language for posting IS-related content. “During a routine scan, we came across this website, and as the content was posted in Arabic, we roped in an expert who helped us translate the material. Finding the content highly offensive, we wrote to the Centre, following which it was blocked,” an official said. Isdarat in Arabic means ‘to spread’ or ‘publish’. The website mainly posted reports on current activities in Iraq related to Indian nationals who have joined the outfit. It referred to IS jihadists as ‘martyrs’ and urged the Indian youth to join ‘the holy war’ that the outfit is currently fighting under the Caliphate. It also posted pictures of various Indians, including the four Kalyan youth-Ariz Khan alias Junaid, Mohammad Khalid, Mirza Shadaab Baig and Mohammad Sajid alias Bada Sajid-who are believed to have joined the IS recently and have entered Syria through Afghanistan to participate in the war. In the last three months alone, the agency has deleted around 1,000 posts from various social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and various messenger services that were allegedly used by ‘IS sympathisers’ for propaganda. According to sources, the Internet Protocol address of the website was tracked to Indonesia but it is suspected to have been created using a proxy server. “We do not think that it originated in Indonesia and might have been floated using a proxy server. This means that finding the origin of the website becomes next to impossible,” the official said. One of the challenges Police face in taming the digital space is the failure to locate the culprits as most of them use proxy servers. “Many of these posts do not originate from India. It is a mammoth task to locate the miscreants, as we have to send out letters to the websites or the social networking platforms which consumes a lot of time,” Police sources explained. The ATS decided to finally ban the website after it found many Indians active on the website. “We monitored the comments page and found that day by day the number of Indian youths commenting on their website was increasing. This is alarming in nature and therefore we decided to ban it,” the official further said.

Law enforcement agencies have been asked to step up security around dignitaries attending the Indo-Africa Summit due to the possibility of terror outfits Boko Haram and Islamic State (IS) attempting to disrupt the meet, sources in the intelligence establishment said, The Times of India reports on October 27. The threat perception of the summit has been marked as "very high" as several heads of state visiting Delhi are under threat from Boko Haram, which is mainly active in Nigeria and has recently pledged its allegiance to IS. Highly-placed sources said the foreign region registration office (FRRO) and Delhi Police sleuths were keeping a tab on African nationals who have arrived in Delhi in the last one week. Over 25,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel are operating in tandem with the African security apparatus in central and New Delhi areas for the summit. Security will be much increased on October 29, 2015 when all heads of state, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and high-ranking Indian and African officials will congregate at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.
