The National Investigation Agency has approached anti-terror squads of various states, including Delhi, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, to help identify the Indian youth who featured in a recent ISIS video in which they threatened to launch terror strikes in the country.
The investigating agency will soon question Abdul Wahid Siddibapa, one of the founders of banned terror group Indian Mujahideen who was arrested at the airport on Friday after he was deported from UAE.
Several IM cadres are believed to have joined ISIS since 2014 after they rejected the leadership of its Karnataka-born Riyaz Bhatkal. Sources said it was not immediately clear how old the 22-minute video was as one of the persons shown in it was Mohammad “Bada” Sajid, who was said to have been killed while fighting the allied forces in Syria last year.
Sajid, who is from Sanjarpur in UP, had been named by the NIA as one of the perpetrators of the IM bombings of 2008 that killed over 100 people and injured many more in New Delhi, Ahmedabad and Jaipur.
