2019-03-01 1

Two days after Intelligence Bureau warned that the movement of Saudi Wahabi preachers in Southern states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu may lead to more Indian youths joining ISIS in Iraq, reports have emerged that two boys, hailing from Thane have left for war-torn Iraq, to fight along ISIS.

It is learnt that at least 18 Indians have joined ISIS militants in Iraq and Intelligence agencies are tracking their activities.

Various reports suggest that most of the people who have been brainwashed and have left for Iraq belong to South India. Some of them also hail from Maharashtra.

ISIS chief Abubakr Al-Baghdadi, who recently declared himself as the Caliph of Islamic State (as the group is now known to be in pursuit of establishing a Caliphate in West Asia), has asked Indian Muslims to wage war against the nation in an audio message.

Experts say misguided youths get enough inspiration from Abubakr Al-Baghdadi's radical thought. Online radicalism is not a stranger to India, but it is only now that it is being realised that how it is drawing Indian youth towards it.
