Islamic State has made its intentions clear of launching terror attacks in India through its bases in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

In an interview with the group's online magazine Dabiq in April, Shaykh Abu Ibrahim Al-Hanif, 'Amir of Khilafah in Bengal' said that once the group manages to build bases in Bangladesh, it will launch raids in east and west of India.



OF FEAR AND CHAOS

Shaykh asserted that Bengal( IS calls Bangladesh as Bengal) has a strategic location and building a jihadi base there will facilitate ISIS to launch guerrilla attacks in India.

Bengal is located on the eastern side of India, whereas Wilayat Khurasan is located on its western side. Thus, having a strong jihad base in Bengal will facilitate performing guerrilla attacks inside India simultaneously from both sides and facilitate creating a condition of tawahhush (fear and chaos) in India along with the help of the existing local mujahidin there," Hanif told Dabiq.

Shaykh admitted that at present ISIS is weak, small and lack capabilities but their soldiers are sharpening their knives for the battle with their enemies.

HINDUS WAGE WAR AGAINST ISLAM

In the interview, Shaykh accused Hindus of India and Bangladesh of waging war against Islam and the Muslims.

"The Hindus of both Bengal and India have always been waging war against Islam and the Muslims. The only difference is that the Hindus in

India show their animosity towards Islam and the Muslims openly whereas the Hindus in Bengal do it in a more deceptive and covert manner due to them being a minority sect here," said Shaykh.

He further urged the Muslims of India and Bengal to join and perform Jihad. "I advise you to join us and perform jihad with your wealth and your lives, as it is an obligation upon every capable Muslim," He said.

INDIANS AGAINST INDIA

Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency that busted the Hyderabad module of ISIS says the arrested youths were in touch with a former Indian Mujahideen member who is now part of Islamic State. They were plotting terror strikes and communal clashes.

These arrests make it evident that ISIS is trying to mislead Indian youths and use them against India.

Investigations have also revealed the group was making efforts to establish a channel of procurement of explosives and weapons, identify locations to organise terror training camps, motivate new recruits to target police officers and foreigners in India apart from carrying out terrorist activities in parts of the country.

Till now, six Indians have reportedly died fighting for ISIS in Syria. According to intelligence reports, 23 Indians travelled to Syria to join the terror group but two have managed to return.
