Al-Qaida plans lone-wolf ops |
No sooner than the deadly terrorist attack in Dhaka was over, al-Qaida on July 3 asked Indian Muslims to carry out lone-wolf attacks in India on the lines of the strikes in Europe. al-Qaida head in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) Asim Umar incited Indian Muslims to rise up and to follow the example of lone wolves in Europe and kill administrative and police officers in India.Incidentally, Umar`s exhortation to Indians Muslims to carry out attacks comes four days after the US state department designated AQIS as a "foreign terrorist organisation" and added Umar to the list of "global terrorists".Intelligence Bureau officials said terror groups like al-Qaida and IS were focusing on `lone wolf ` strategy, especially in India, as they were not able to make much headway here. Also, working individually makes it difficult, almost impossible, to track the activities of the person who is planning an attack.
