2 Indian Mujahideen men in new Islamic State video, police confirm
Intelligence agencies suspect that two of the men, who appeared in the Islamic State (IS) video which was released last week, are members of the Indian Mujahideen (IM).
According to the Indian Express, sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and intelligence services have identified two of the men in the video as Abu Rashid Ahmad and Mohammad 'Bada' Sajid.
Abu Rashid Ahmad is a suspect in various blasts carried out by the IM. He previously worked at an eye-hospital in Mumbai. On the other hand, Mohammad Sajid, is suspected to be behind the serial bombings in Jaipur and Ahmedabad, the daily reported. Both Rashid and Mohammad Sajid are former residents of Azamgarh.
According to the Indian Express, the investigating agencies had interviewed their families in Uttar Pradesh to ascertain the identity of the fugitives, who are sought for prosecution in India.
In the video, the men, who claim to be from the Islamic State, can be seen threatening to carry out terror attacks in India.
The video shows Rashid as saying, "I want to tell the government of India that we will avenge every crime that has been committed against Muslims there."
"Do you not remember the serial blasts on the trains in Bombay? Have you forgotten the serial blasts in Gujarat? Have you forgotten the destruction in Delhi and in Jaipur?" he asked adding that, "We will deliver unto you a reckoning far more terrible than these, and will wage war upon you until polytheism is destroyed in India, and Allah's rule is established," he says in the video.
