According to a highly placed source in IB, the advisory was issued in the recent past to all the investigation agencies in the country, to pay attention to the security of all the foreigners staying in India. ‘In a bid to retaliate the force being used against the ISIS, their sympathisers, who are large in number, are planning to target them,’ the source said.
There are reports that the banned terror outfits in India, which include Indian Mujahideen, Students Islamic Movement of India and Al-Qaeda are also planning a terror strike targeting the foreign nationals. IB has advised states such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra in particular to be on very high alert.
Investigation agencies are also keeping a close watch on the female victim’s of Muzaffarnagar riots after getting specific inputs that vulnerable women, from various countries are joining ISIS. If sources are to be believed, the operatives of IM and SIMI are planning to execute a terror strike in Delhi, Muzzafarnagar, cities of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu using female suicide bombers.
According to the information gathered by IB and NIA from the global agencies: ‘There were signs of the ISIS trying to build a full-fledged military with women that are supposed to be recruited from various countries including Iraq, Syria and India. The possibility of recruitment could also rise in the wake of external aggression against the ISIS,’ the IB alert also states.
ISIS needs the women for multiple reasons — to cook, to set honey traps, gather military intelligence and entertain, the source said. Few months ago a woman from Hyderabad left her home to join the ISIS to help her friends in Iraq. Though she was not concerned about her ideology but she only wanted to give domestic assistance to her friends.
The investigation agencies are also concerned about Indian youths who went missing from the country and later found to have joined the dreaded outfit.
