ISIS planning attack on Delhi on R-Day

Saturday, 25 January 2020 | PNS | New Delhi

Pakistan's notorious spy agency Inter Services Intelligence is seeking to orchestrate attacks during the Republic Day celebrations in Delhi and the National Capital Region, intelligence agencies have alerted. 

According to inputs with the intelligence agencies here, some overground workers of the terror groups might have infiltrated in the national capital. The OGWs are suspected to be linked to the Pakistani terror group Al Badr. ISI has tasked Hizbul Mujahideen commander Riyaz Naikoo to revive the Al Badr outfit through some spectacular hit around the Republic Day here.

Naikoo has also been tasked to recruit and train the cadres of Al Badr for the hits. Naikoo in turn has tasked his second-in-command Hammad who has taken up the responsibility of reorganising the Al Badr which has been dormant for the last few years.

After being trained by the Hizbul Mujahideen, the recruits of Al Badr will use the logistics network of the former for executing the planned attacks. But Al Badr will own responsibility for the hits, according to the inputs.

The move comes amid heightened vigil along the Line of Control in J&K post-abrogation Article 370 and reorganization of the erstwhile State of J&K into two U Ts-J&K and Ladakh.Following this, ISI backed terror groups are facing existential crisis and through such attacks they are aiming to register their presence as well as seek to portray Kashmir as a flashpoint, an Intelligence official said.
