The Kerala Police, on November 2, confirmed that six more youth from Kannur District have joined the Islamic State (IS) in Syria, reports Deccan Chronicle. The Police said these people were active workers of the Popular Front of India (PFI) in Kerala. Those who have been identified now are Abdul Khayyoom (25), resident of Chekikulam near Kuttiattoor, Abdul Manaf P P (30), resident of Valapattanam, Shabeer Muhammed Shafi (33), resident of Mooppanpara in Valapattanam, his relative Suhail and his wife Rizwana, and Safwan (18), resident of Pazhanjirapally in Pappinissery (All in Kannur District). India Today adds that Kannur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) P P Sadanandan said that all six men were active as PFI activists in the state. Police said that these men managed to move out of India, possibly to Syria, with fake passports.Times of India adds that Police said the families of four of them are in Syria, and efforts are on to get their complete details. Khayyoom went to Syria on April 18, 2017, while Abdul Manaf travelled using a fake passport, said Police. Moreover, he was a close associate of Shahjahan Velluva, another IS operative who was arrested in Delhi a few months ago. When Shahjahan and his group reached Istanbul (Turkey) in an effort to sneak in to Syria, Manaf had met them, but the group could not coordinate and their bid to enter Syria failed, and they were deported. Suhail reached Syria from Dubai in 2016, said Police. Last week, the investigating team had confirmed the death of Safwan's brother Salman and their father T V Shameer in Syria, along with three others from the District.

The Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) arrested one suspected Islamic State (IS) terrorist, identified as Abu Zaid (37) from the Mumbai Airport on November 4, soon after deboarding a flight from Riyadh, reports The Times of India. "Abu Zaid, suspected ISIS terrorist was arrested by the ATS team from Mumbai Airport yesterday (November 4) after he came from Saudi Arabia," Additional Director General (ADG) - Law and order, Anand Kumar said. He said Zaid was residing in Riyadh and formed a social media group to allegedly radicalise youths and lure them to ISIS. Abu Zaid of Azamagarh District of Uttar Pradesh, who had been staying in Riyadh for a year, allegedly used a highly-secure chat application Threema, for his conversations with his targets from western UP, Kumar said. 'Threema' provides random IDs to users without asking them to provide a phone number or e-mail address. Abu Zaid was later brought to Lucknow on a transit remand. A police team was sent to Zaid's house in Azamgarh.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has decided to send a team to Manila in the Philippines to interrogate a notorious woman recruiter for the Islamic State (IS) terror group, Karen Aisha Hamidon, who radicalised several Indians in the last three years through social media, reports The Times of India on November 5. Sources said the NIA was already in touch with investigators in Manila following her arrest last month. A proposal for the planned visit would be sent soon through the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). Officials feel Hamidon's interrogation could provide crucial leads about other Indian ‘foreign fighters’ who may have joined IS since 2014 and more recruiters radicalising Indian youths through platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook etc. Hamidon, whose name is mentioned in two NIA chargesheets as an ‘online motivator’, was arrested by the Philippines' National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). It was the NIA that first found out about her activities and informed the Filipino authorities last year. The development comes even as Hamidon reportedly claimed before the department of justice in Manila on November 3 that she was being ‘framed’. According to reports in Manila-based newspapers, Hamidon told reporters she was just a ‘blogger’ and a ‘Muslim missionary’ against whom false accusations had been levelled by Police.

Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on November 6 picked up one person, identified as Uruzkhan Pathan of Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) for questioning in connection with the firearms which were to be supplied to alleged Islamic State (IS) operatives, Ubaid Mirza and Kasim Stimberwala who were arrested by Gujarat ATS on October 25, reports The Times of India. According to the FIR (First Information Report) registered by ATS, both Mirza and Stimberwala were planning to carry out 'lone wolf' attacks on a synagogue in Khamasa area of Ahmedabad city to kill Jews. Senior ATS officials said that Pathan had been picked up but not yet arrested. He works at a bakery in Ujjain. "During Pathan's interrogation, it came to light that Ubaid Mirza had met him in Delhi," said a senior ATS official. Later, Ubaid had phoned Pathan and asked him to arrange for an imported pistol and some ammunition.Senior ATS officials said they suspect that Pathan knew that the weapons were to be used for a lone wolf attack on the Synagogue in Khamasa area of Ahmedabad. "On the directions of Ubaid, Stimberwala had recced the Synagogue on 12th of September with logistic support from two in Ahmedabad. Both Ubaid and Stimberwala were to flee to Jamaica after the attack to take shelter with a radical preacher named Mohammed el Faisal who was born as William Forrest" a senior ATS official added. Sources in ATS also said Ubaid was in contact with one Zabiullah of Tamil Nadu who was to help him smuggle gold with the help of one air hostess based in Tamil Nadu. "We have dispatched a team to Tamil Nadu to record the statement of Zabiullah and track the air hostess," an ATS officer said.

The Central Government has decided to create two new divisions in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to shape up policy and response to these new-age threats like radicalisation, mostly online, and cyber crimes, reports The Times of India on November 7. The two new divisions, counter-radicalisation and cyber security are likely to be created as part of an administrative restructuring plan that will see the merger of four existing divisions of the UMHA into two. The judicial division and Centre-State divisions are being rolled into one, as are international cooperation and public grievances divisions. "Though home ministry will continue to have 18 divisions even after the restructuring, eliminating the need for Cabinet approval, consolidation of four divisions into two will create space for two additional divisions headed by joint-secretary level officers. The structural changes are likely to take effect in the next few days, possibly within this month," said a UMHA functionary. While the counter-radicalisation division will focus on tracking and assessing the online reach of global terrorist outfits like the Islamic State (IS) terror group and devising strategies to counter their propaganda, the cyber security division will monitor online crimes and threats, including cyber fraud and hacking, and suggest ways to minimize and fight them. "Online radicalisation has become a global phenomenon, given the growing use of social media by terrorists outfits for propaganda. Though this problem is not too pronounced in India, with only a few youth influenced enough to join IS or travel to Iraq/Syria, the need for a counter-radicalisation division and policy was felt as Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was keen that the problem be "nipped in the bud," said a UMHA officer. The UMHA officer said that even though online radicalisation has only had a limited influence on young Indian Muslims, with their families acting as buffer against attempts by IS elements to lure them to fight in Iraq/Syria, "this does not mean we don't have trends available that will help devise strategies to nip the problem in the bud". "We can't be complacent and need to think ahead. The new division, which is likely to hire domain experts, will seek to formulate a counter-radicalisation strategy and an elaborate action-plan to operationalise it," said the officer. IS' online propaganda has found some traction among Indian Muslims, with around 70-80, mostly from Kerala, estimated to have left the country for IS-controlled territories in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

A woman originally from India was among three Singaporeans arrested under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for supporting the Islamic State (IS) and terrorism-related activities, authorities in Singapore said on November 8, reports The Indian Express. Of the three, Adzrul Azizi bin Bajuri (19) was issued with a Restriction Order, while Abu Thalha bin Samad (25) and Munavar Baig Amina Begam (38) were issued with Detention Orders, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Singapore said in a statement. Amina, a housewife and a naturalised Singapore Citizen originally from India, is an ISIS supporter and harboured the intention to make her way to the conflict zone to join IS, the Ministry said. She was radicalised by a foreign online contact, who shared pro-IS materials with her and convinced her that ISIS was fighting to defend Sunnis in the conflict zone, it said. “She was radicalised to the extent that she was prepared to undergo military training and take up arms to fight for ISIS in the Middle-East if called upon by ISIS to do so,” the statement said. Amina shared on social media materials promoting terrorism. She was issued a Detention Order for a period of two years this month. Of the two men, Abu Thalha was found to be a member of the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). He was educated in JI-linked schools in the region and also underwent paramilitary training in some of the schools he attended.

A National Investigation Agency (NIA) official’s team questioned two persons in Chennai for their alleged links with the Islamic State (IS) on November 9, reports The Times of India. NIA sources said the two men, identified as Mohammed Jaffer of Kondithope and Sahib of Mannadi, were questioned by a team of officials from Delhi in a secluded place in Chennai city. They were summoned to appear before them to inquire after IS sympathiser Shajahan VK had spilled the beans about them during questioning. NIA officials said Shajahan, hailing from Kannur District in Kerala, was deported from Turkey in July after a failed attempt to enter Syria. The Delhi Police arrested him in July after he was deported from Turkey. The NIA took over a case from the Delhi Police in September. Inquiries revealed that Jaffer and Sahib met Shajahan during their visit to Uttar Pradesh in 2016. Shajahan disclosed to intelligence agencies about the presence of 17 people from Kerala in the IS in Syria and Iraq. Shajahan had visited Turkey for carrying out terrorist activities after procuring an Indian passport in the fake name of Mohammad Ismail Mohideen. He travelled to Turkey from Chennai in February.

Around 100 persons from Kerala are suspected to have joined the Islamic State (IS) over the years, Kerala Police said in Kannur on November 11, reports The Hindu.

In the charge-sheet filed against Yasmin Muhammad, who was arrested at the Delhi airport while she was allegedly trying to leave for Kabul on August 1, 2016, NIA states that some of the youths, who are in Afghanistan, "are still spreading the messages in favour of the IS and are inviting others join the terror organization." There are 15 persons in the charge-sheet who have been charged under Section 120 (B), and Sections 38, 39 and 40 of the Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA).

A Malayalam audio clip, claiming to be from the Islamic State (IS), has surfaced on the internet calling for war against India and conducting lone-wolf terror attacks on crowds thronging Indian festival events like Kumbh Mela (major Hindu religious festival in North India) and Thirssur Pooram (major Hindu Temple festival in Kerala), reports Outlook on November 14. The male voice in the 10-minute clip liberally quotes from the Quran with an authentic Arabic pronunciation. It claims that it is the 50th audio clip from Daulatul Islam (house of believers). “You use your intellect. Poison them in food. Use trucks. Drive over them at Thirssur pooram or at Maha Kumbh Mela. IS Mujahideen are doing it in several parts of the world. In Las Vegas, one of our supporters killed many people at a music concert. At least you should try to derail a train. Or use a knife,” the clip said..Police sources said the audio clip has been transmitted over Telegram Messenger from Afghanistan and its voice belongs to Rashid Abdullah, the leader of the Kasaragod IS module who left to join Islamic State in Afghanistan. He has been chargesheeted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) under IPC (Indian Penal Code) sections 120B r/w 125 and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) Sections 38, 39 and 40. There has also been an Interpol red notice issued against him. The case against him came to light after his father filed a Police complaint last year saying Rashid Abdullah, his wife and son were missing from Kasaragod. The clip in question says that Muslims should go for hijrah (migrate) from Darul Kufr (house of non-believers) to Darul Islam (house of believers). “If you are not able to do that despite your prayers and efforts, then you should financially support Daulatul Islam and Islamic State,” it says. According to sources, Rashid Abdulla's previous audio clips had only urged people to perform hijrah. However, in his 50th clip, he has changed his tone and has made an open call for attacks in India, which he has described as a country where ‘Hindus rule.’ “Many are trying to finish IS and khilafat. We have been reduced to nothing in many parts. But, Daultaul Islam is still active and we will fight until the last man,” the clip adds. Responding to the audio clip, former special Director of Cabinet Secretariat, V Balachandran said, "This is very serious. They are going to take the battle to India from Europe and Middle East."

Meanwhile, the national executive member of the Popular Front of India (PFI), P Koya on November 15 said that getting killed in an unknown country that, too, for a mysterious organization which has ulterior motive is not the martyrdom envisaged in Islam, reports The Times of India. Inaugurating a public meeting held here against the Islamic State (IS), he said martyrdom in Islam is sacrificing life in the fight against injustice. "IS is a dubious outfit, the origin of which is shrouded in mystery," he said. Koya said that only less than 150 Muslims have reportedly joined IS from India which has 18 crore Muslims. "That means IS has not succeeded in influencing the Muslim population in the country'" he said.

Kerala Police are on the lookout for a former Popular Front of India (PFI) worker from Kannur District who is suspected to have raised funds for the Islamic State (IS) cadres from the State to travel to Syria, reports The Times of India on November 17. Thasleem, from Pappinassery in Kannur District, is presently in the Gulf and is an accused in eight cases related to the clashes between the PFI and the CPM, Police said. "Thasleem had handed over $400 to two of the IS cadres who were leaving the country at the Kannur railway station premises. He had also arranged money for another group in the Gulf," said a Police officer. PFI Kannur district president V K Noufal said that Thasleem had dissociated from the organisation ever since he left for the Gulf around seven years ago. "He used to come to Pappinassery while on leave but never contacted our organisation. We learnt that Thasleem was in Kannur around six months ago," he said. Police have also found out that V K Shajahan, the PFI worker from Koodali in Kannur District who was arrested from Turkey for trying to sneak into Syria four months ago, had received money sent from Kannur while he was in the Gulf. The money was sent through 'reverse hawala' channels operating in Kerala and the Gulf. A businessman from Kannur, who was in the WhatsApp group of IS leader Abdul Rashid Abdualla, is also in the radar of the Police for lending financial help to the IS module

Kerala Police have come across a money trail behind the migration of youths from Kannur (Kannur District) to fight for the Islamic State (IS) in Syria, reports The Indian Express on November 17 (today). Police sources said the money was handed over to the recruited persons by K O P Thasleem, a native of Pappinissery in Kannur District. “All those who either migrated to Syria or tried to sneak into that country from Kannur have got financial assistance to the tune of $400 each. They were paid through Popular Front of India [PFI] activist Thasleem, who channelled the funds from the Gulf through a hawala route. Thasleem has been in Sharjah for the last six months and we now suspect he has moved to Syria,’’ a Police source said. Sources said documents seized from the houses of the arrested persons substantiated the money transactions. “We are yet to look into the sources who have channelled the money from the Gulf through Thasleem. The amount handed over to the recruited persons was meant only to meet their travel and other expenses. We have not come across any evidence to suggest that money was paid to lure youths to join the IS,’’ the source said. Two weeks back, Police in Kannur had arrested six persons who had earlier tried to go to Syria but were deported by security agencies. Based on the input received from the arrested persons, Police said five others from Kannur were still fighting in Syria, while five others had been killed since 2015.

Considering the gravity of the growing Islamic State (IS) related activities, the Kerala Police machinery has been forced to change its operational procedures and the State is now in high alert mode, reports The Indian Express on November 19. Ever since the first migration of Malayalees to join IS in Syria and Afghanistan was reported in June 2016, Kerala Police have been on the trail of suspected IS operatives in the State. With the latest audio clip of Rashid Abdullah, the leader of the Kasaragod group which left for Syria to join IS, exhorting IS modules to unleash lone wolf attacks in Kerala, the Police have become even more determined to go for an all out offensive drive. State Police chief Loknath Behera said the situation has become very alarming and the Police have taken necessary operational measures to counter IS activities. “We are fully geared up. The entire force has been put on high alert,” he said. Though the State Police have been tracking the activities of dedicated IS cells camouflaged in the form of other organisations, the real, functioning modules in the State were identified after a dedicated Kerala Police started to coordinate with Central agencies in analyzing various communication channels of the suspects. “We have been interacting with Central agencies on various levels to ensure we don’t miss any leads in the investigation into IS activities in the state,” said a senior intelligence officer. A few senior police officers in north Kerala have been specifically tasked with keeping track of the activities of a few suspects flagged for their association with certain organisations clandestinely supporting IS modules in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. “In the past two years, a few suspects have flown to West Asia to raise funds using the cover of some organisations, said the intelligence officer. “The fund is used to strengthen IS activities in Kerala.

The National Security Guard (NSG) is planning to train their commandos exclusively to deal with ‘lone wolf’ terror attacks using vehicles at public places, reports Zee Newson November 22. The elite Security Force (SF) has taken this decision in the wake of some recent incidents across the world where terrorists used vehicles to mow down people at crowded places. According to sources, the NSG is likely to send their commandos to European countries to get training to deal with ‘lone wolf’ attacks. This comes amid Indian authorities fearing a possible attack by the Islamic State (IS) on places of religious significance like Kumbh Mela (major Hindu religious festival in North India) and Thirssur Pooram (major Temple festival in Kerala).Following a 10-minute audio clip by an alleged leader of the Islamic State (IS) module in Kerala, released recently, which talked of Las Vegas-like terror attack on Kumbh Mela and Thirssur Pooram, Indian agencies have said that the threats cannot be ruled out, conceding that they need to prepare to counter any such eventuality. Earlier this month, the audio clip was released in Malayalam and it warned of lone wolf terror attack by the Islamic State in the country in the days to come.

The special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Mumbai on November 23 rejected the bail application filed by Kalyan (Maharashtra) youth Areeb Majeed, who was arrested for allegedly joining the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), reports The Asian Age. “The (bail) application filed by the accused (Majeed) is rejected,” said special NIA judge. Majeed had sought bail on the ground that section 20 (being member of terrorist organisation) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) had been removed against him and hence the other sections also do not survive because he had been charged with committing crimes as a member of a terrorist organisation. Opposing Majeed’s bail plea, the NIA had contended before the court that his bail and discharge application have been rejected in the past considering serious allegations against him so he should not be granted bail. The NIA counsel had also argued before the court that there are serious charges against Majeed, including that of waging war against an Asiatic country that has friendly ties with India.

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has deradicalised 86 people in the last two years as a part of its efforts to wean away misguided youth from the path of extremism in the aftermath of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, an official said, reports First Post on November 26. Those brought into the mainstream include well-educated people like a young couple, both post-graduates in pharmacy, an aeronautical engineer and an IT professional, he said. The deradicalisation is done to bring back to normal life persons who had strayed in the name of 'jihad', a senior official of the ATS said. He said all these people, including eight women, had come in contact with their handlers via social networking sites and were radicalised online. They were on the verge of joining the terror outfit Islamic State (IS) or planning to work for it, but the law-enforcement agencies silently monitored their activities and successfully brought them back to the normal life, he said. The ATS approached the family members of these people, their community's spiritual leaders and counselors were also roped-in. After continuous efforts for more than two months in each case, all these people were deradicalised and now they have been brought back into the mainstream, he said. Among the many other initiatives of tackling terrorism post the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, one of the important programmes of the ATS was to keep a close watch on the online activities of young minds of the minority community, he said.

The Railway Police on the basis of an intelligence tip-off have warned of a likely security threat to the lives of commuters, especially Ayyappa devotees, in Thrissur (Thrissur District of Kerala) from the so-called Islamic State (IS) terror outfit, reports The New Indian Express. According to the advisory received by the Station Master at the Thrissur Railway station, the IS operatives might well poison the potable water provided at the station as part of the terror design. Hence, the Station Master has been advised to undertake a safety audit of the food and potable water made available to commuters and Sabarimala pilgrims. Thrissur Station Master K R Jayakumar said he had indeed received a tip-off in this regard from the Railway Police.

As per the latest Intelligence inputs, around 100 Indians have joined Islamic State (IS)-controlled regions in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan since 2014, reports The Times of India on November 28. While 50 Indians left India, the remaining 50 are part of Indian Diaspora who left from their respective countries, mostly from the Gulf countries. These low numbers depicts that IS propaganda to lure Indian Muslims has failed to an extent, as the numbers are very low in proportion to the large Indian population and also in comparison to the percentage of large Indian Muslim community, said an official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). According to an Intelligence official, the IS related content on social media is highly accessed in southern states such as Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, including Maharashtra, although the J&K youth is also drawn to the ISIS ideology at various phases of the radicalisation. As the indigenous outfit - Popular Front of India (PFI) is ‘systematically’ radicalising the some youths, the government is working on a proposal to declare PFI an ‘unlawful association’, said sources.
