Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has issued a warning of carrying out “suicide bombings” in Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat in a bid to take avenge of the insult to the Prophet Mohammed (PUBH).
“The saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi, Bombay, UP and Gujarat. They should find refuge neither in their homes nor in their fortified army cantonments,” a threat letter by the AQIS read.
It said that the “hearts of Muslims all over the world are bleeding” and are filled with feelings of revenge and retribution.
Former Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nupur Sharma had allegedly made controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammed following which she was suspended by the party.
The controversial statement made by Nupur Sharma set off an international furore. Several Muslim nations, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Indonesia and Iran, as well as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have officially protested their statements and demanded an apology.
However, the chilling threat issued by AQIS has alerted the security agencies in the country.
The letter also mentioned Ghazwa-e-Hind — the battle for India — in which they said victory of Muslims in the country.
“At the same time, we bring tidings of death and destruction to the rulers of India, of executions and hangings, of imprisonment and being bound with chains,” read the letter.
Meanwhile, central intelligence agencies of the country are on alert after the AQIS issued the warning letter, reports The Times of India.
All the states have been informed by the intelligence agencies about the threat and they have been asked to be on high alert, it said.
