New Delhi: The Islamic State is planning to launch attacks
in India with the help of local terror groups based in Bangladesh and Pakistan,
a report said on Thursday.
In an interview to IS' online magazine Dabiq, ‘amir’ of the
terror group fighters in Bangladesh, Shaykh Abu Ibrahim al-Hanif made the
revelations.
According to al-Hanif, Bangladesh, which is referred to as
'Bengal' by ISIS, is considered to be
strategically important for the deadly
terror group, a Hindustan Times report said.
Hanif said with the help of of Wilayat Khurasan (branch of
the militant Islamist group active in
Afghanistan and Pakistan), and 'Bengal',
ISIS could easily carry out strike across India with the help of local
mujahideens.
Last month, the US had expressed concern over the presence
of dreaded Islamic State terror group in Bangladesh after the militant group
claimed responsibility for several terror attacks in the country.
US President Barack Obama has said that destroying the
Islamic State group remains his "top priority" at a time when the
jihadist group continues to lose ground in Iraq and Syria.
Washington has led an international coalition staging
airstrikes against the IS group in Syria and Iraq since September 2014,
parallel to operations by the Syrian government and its ally Russia.
