After Al-Qaeda, now Islamic State wing threatens attack India over remarks by Nupur Sharma

New Delhi, June 16: After the Al-Qaeda, now the Islamic State Khorasan Province, an affiliate of the terror outfit Islamic State has jumped into the Prophet controversy in India threatening to carry out attacks in the country.

 

 

 

The terrorist orgnisation has released an over 10-minute video focusing on India and alleged blasphemy issues involving Nupur Sharma. In the news bulletin by ISKP's mouthpiece AlAzaim foundation, the terror outfit threatens to target Hindus to avenge the insult of the Prophet.

 

 

 

“The video features @NupurSharmaBJP, the national spokesperson of the @BJP4India, and houses of Muslims bulldozed. It then features previous statements of ISKP suicide bombers who were Indian. Threatening to conduct attacks against India wherever possible,” a post by the handle has said.

 

 

 

“It then features @narendramodi and the attacks on Sikhs in Afghanistan followed by animations of a suicide bombing. Ending with a message to conduct attacks very soon,” the post said.

 

Moreover, the Islamic State goes on to criticise the Taliban, particularly defence minister Mullah Yaqoob for his interview with an Indian news television channel and finance minister Amir Muttaqi over his meeting with the Indian charge d’ affairs in Afghanistan for trying to establish diplomatic relations with India.

 

 

Last week, the Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) issued a letter warning of suicide bombings in Indian cities to avenge the insult to Prophet Mohammad.

 

In the threat letter dated June 6, the AQIS said it will launch suicide attacks in Delhi, Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat to “fight the honor of the Prophet”. All the states have been informed by the intelligence agencies about the threat and they have been asked to be on high alert.
