A Facebook group, which levelled a death threat against Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin, has raised fears of the influence and presence of dreaded terrorist group Islamic State (IS) in Kerala, reports Manoramaonline on July 2. The Facebook page, Ansarul Khilafa (The Followers of Khalifa), which had posts in Malayalam and English, was taken down on July 2 (today) morning soon after media started reporting about its existence.The threat against the Bangladesh writer known for her progressive views was made by one of the members of the group. The group had 135 likes before it was deactivated. The group’s presence comes amid a spate of terror attacks in Bangladesh, the busting of an IS module in Hyderabad and the arrests of IS sympathizers from various states in the last few months. It raises troubling concerns about whether the terrorist outfit, known for its beheading and sex slavery of captured non-Muslim women, is striking deeper roots in India.

At least 16 Muslim people, including a doctor, his wife and their toddler son, are missing for a month from north Kerala, family members said on July 8, sparking fears that they might have joined radical groups in Syria or Iraq, reports Hindustan Times. The missing people, said to be well-educated from fairly good economic background, also include four women who are suspected to have travelled to the Middle East to join militant groups such as the Islamic State (IS).A relative of one of the missing youth told that they left the country on June 6 on the pretext of going on a pilgrimage. While 12 of those missing are from Kasargode District, four are from Palakkad. “One of them sent a message on an encrypted site Telegram saying they reached their final destination. (The) initial message came from an Afghanistan number. We now fear that they might have reached the conflict zone, either in Syria or Iraq,” said TK Salam, whose 23-year-old nephew TK Afizudding is among the missing.

The Kerala Government on July 9ordered a probe into reports that at least 17 youths, including three women, from the State who had travelled to West Asia and reportedly gone missing, may have joined the Islamic State (IS), reports The Hindu. The disappearance of the youths, some of whom are medical students and engineering graduates, came to light after their relatives brought the matter before the authorities. Some families from Kasaragod and Palakkad Districts had approached Kasaragod MP (Member of Parliament) P. Karunakaran and expressed fear that their children were missing for the past one month and they have no contact with them. Chief Minister (CM) Pinarayi Vijayan said it was a “very serious issue” and ordered an urgent probe.Director General of Police (DGP) Loknath Behara said on the basis of information provided by the families, Police has started investigation. “We do not know if children and women are part of the group. But they (families) say that some women are in the group. We also do not have any confirmation so far that the missing youths have joined the IS. But we have started investigation,” Behara said.Of the 17 persons, 11 hail from Padna and Thrikaripur in the Kerala’s northernmost Kasaragod District while the others hailed from Palakkad. There are at least three women in the list of missing persons, including a pregnant woman.

The Kochi unit of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has started gathering information from its counterparts in Hyderabad,where an IS-Islamic State module was neutralised, New Indian Express reports on July 12. “Top officials of NIA-Kochi, who are currently in Hyderabad in connection with the investigation, will be looking into the Kerala-link of the IS link as well,” said officials. “Online activities of suspected IS sympathisers are under surveillance. Probe of the Hyderabad case showed that the IS module had connection with several youths in South India, including Kerala. It is being probed whether the Hyderabad module received any aid from Kerala,” said an NIA official.Earlier, investigating a suspected terror module of IS in Hyderabad, the NIA on July 11 said the accused were tech-savvy and using a modern software to secure their email conversation with their handler in Syria, reports NDTV. According to the NIA, alleged kingpin Mohammed Ibrahim Yazdani was using 'tutanota' (secure message) software, a secure encryption mail to be in touch with his handler abroad. The coordinates of places where logistics like weapons were to be delivered, were sent to him by his handler through this email.

India has sought Iran’s help in tracing 17 persons from Kerala, who have been missing for over a month, and are suspected to have joined the Islamic State (IS), The Hindu reports on July 15. Investigations by Indian agencies have revealed that the 17 Indians, including women and children, travelled till Iran on tourist visas before going off the radar, a senior intelligence official told. “We have shared the details of these people with the Iranian authorities and have asked them to find out about their further movement,” the official said. The missing include nine men, four of their wives, a child and an infant. Three of the women are pregnant. All are in their 20s.The official said the missing persons left India in two different groups about a month ago. One group reached Muscat and the other group reached Dubai. “They took a flight to Tehran from Muscat and Dubai respectively. This might have been done to dodge any suspicion. Since they went on tourist visas and had family members along, nobody suspected them,” said the official.

Kerala has become a breeding base of many hardcore terrorists operating in international arena, the most wanted among the Islamic terror operatives from the state is Mohammed Sabir aliasK.P. Sabir alias Ayub, who now controls the terror-linked Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) cartel operating from Peshawar in Pakistan, Deccan Chronicle reports on July 21. Once they are caught on the radar of intelligence agencies, they shift their operations to other countries, including Bangladesh, Dubai, Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to sources.A native of Kannur, Sabir was one of the conspirators in the plot to murder former Chief Minister E.K. Nayanar. His links with the international terror cartel was exposed after the Bangalore serial blasts in 2008. He escaped to Pakistan befooling the intelligence agencies on a fake passport. Sabir, former president of the now banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), has been operating from Pakistan since then. The scaled up vigil against terror modules in Gulf countries in recent times resulted in an exodus of such personalities to Pakistan which is a haven for anti- India terror modules.In April, the UAE deported K.A. Anoop, an alleged associate of Sabir. A perusal of his mobile calls from Dubai revealed that Sabir was in close contact with Anoop. Though Sabir had made an attempt to take his wife from Kannur to Pakistan using a fake passport, the attempt was thwarted by security agencies, according to sources. Another two Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives wanted in terror -linked cases in the state-- Shoaib from Kannur and Shuhaib from Parappanangadi--who were operating from Gulf countries earlier, are believed to have joined the IS crossing to Syria. Another key player in international terror cartels, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘southern commander’ Thadiyantavide Nazeer aka Ummer Haji, was arrested from Bangladesh in 2008. He was on the run after the attack against the Indian Institute of Space Science (IISC), Bangalore, in 2005. A native of Kannur, Nazeer was living in Bangladesh. He shifted operations out of state after being named along with Sabir in hatching a conspiracy to kill Nayanar in 1999.Another suspected LeT ‘commandant’ Ibrahim Moulavi aka Usthad hailing from Vellamunda in Wayanad was arrested by security agencies earlier from Karnataka. Trained in Pakistan, he had allegedly played a key role in recruiting youth from the state for jihad in Kashmir leading to the killing of four youths from the state in Kupwara in Kashmir in an encounter with security agencies in 2008.

A court in Kochi (Kerala) on July 25 sent the two suspected Islamic State (IS) sympathisers,Arshid Qureshi and Rizwan Khan to Police custody till August 8, 2016, reports oneindia.com. Arshid Qureshi and Rizwan Khan, who are known to be close to preacher Zakir Naik of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), were last week picked up in Mumbai in a joint operation of Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) along with a team of Kerala Police. "It was Sunday that the two were brought here and they were produced before the court on Monday. Now we will begin our job," Inspector General of Police, Ernakulam, S.Sreejith told. The arrest took place after a Police complaint was raised by Ebin Abraham, brother of Kochi resident, Merin alias Mariyam, who along with her husband, is reported to be missing and is alleged to have joined the IS. The Police probe team plans to now seek the help of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in finding out more about the duo and their acts.

Many of the people from Kerala accused of terror links in the recent past have been new converts to Islam, including five of the 21 currently missing who are feared to have joined the Islamic State (IS), Indian Express reports on July 26. In 2008, when four youths from Kerala were killed in an encounter in Kashmir while allegedly trying to cross over to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) for training, one of them was Muhammed Yasin, a Christian who had recently converted to Islam. The Police and NIA said their probe showed that Yasin, earlier Joseph Varghese, was handpicked by suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant Tadiyantavide Nazir, who is now serving life term after being convicted in the terror recruitment case. Nazir was alleged to have at least two more converts in his network. Hindu youths Baburaj and Abhilash, took on the names Muhammed Sahal and Vahabudeen respectively. Sahal gave a statement to Police that Nazir and his gang had played a crucial role in converting him to Islam. “When Nazir met me first in Kochi, he asked me to get converted to Islam. I learnt about Islam from the Internet,” Sahal said in his statement. Another person, Vahabudeen, a native of Kalamassery near Kochi, claimed Nazir had imparted religious lessons to him as a new convert. And that he had tried to arrange a woman from Kannur to marry him.Of the 21 from Kerala missing now, one is Merin, who took on the name Mirriam after conversion. Her brother Ebin Jacob has complained to the Kochi city Police that R C Qureshi, a member of the Mumbai-based Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) and close aide of preacher Zakir Naik, had forced her to embrace Islam. Qureshi was arrested from Navi Mumbai on July 20. Also missing is her husband Eshia, who was known as Bestin before conversion, Eshia’s brother Isa (Bexen before conversion) and Isa’s wife Fatima (once known as Nimisha). Jacob has told police Eshia had taken Mirriam to Qureshi for conversion. Eshia’s Christian family who lives in Palakkad in turn says the two embraced Islam at the behest of Naik.Data on conversion obtained by Police from various conversion centres shows that 5,793 people have embraced Islam in the last five years.
