NIA detains ISIS suspect in Bengal

National Investigation Agency (NIA) today detained a suspected ISIS activist in Burdwan district in West Bengal, an NIA source said here today.
The detained youth is a first year polytechnic student of a private engineering college at Gopalpur under Kanksa PS in the district.
During investigation, two more accused, namely Saddam
Hossain alias Kalu and Abbasudin Sk alias Amin were arrested by West Bengal CID.
"Mosiuddin was found involved in furthering the illegal activities of the ISIS in India and Bangladesh and had been in touch with Shafi Armar...And was also linked to the Jamaat- ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) operatives in Bangladesh," NIA had said in a statement.

Armar is a former Indian Mujahideen operative who was later claimed to have joined the ISIS. It was Armar who had radicalised him by sending the links of jihadi sites like Jihadology.Net, Al-Shabab media and Just-Paste-it links, etc.
Armar also allegedly sent him videos released by Ansar Ut Tawid (AuT) which included footages of the war between the ISIS and Iraqi forces. The videos and speeches of 'Anwar ul Awlaki', a jihadist ideologue and preacher who was killed in a US drone attack in Yemen, were also sent to him by Armar, a native of Bhatkal in Karnataka and one of the main recruiters for ISIS in India.

Abu Suleiman, a Bangladeshi ISIS/JMB operative, visited India to meet Musa twice in March, 2015, and May, 2016. He encouraged Musa to use encrypted chat applications like Telegram, Surespot, Threema, Chatsecure, to communicate with him and other ISIS operatives, NIA has alleged.
