Following an Intelligence Bureau alert, the Ministry of Home Affairs has warned all state governments that the Islamic State may attempt to procure a chemical called thallium sulfate from a Gujarat-based company in order to carry out a chemical attack.
NewsX has accessed the Home Ministry's letter which red flags the fresh ISIS threat. Intelligence Bureau's communication to the MHA said the terror outfit might employ a Turkey-based middleman to purchase the chemical. According to the note, thallium sulfate is a common source of thallium for use in laboratories but it can also be used to poison food and water.
