Russia arrests ISIS bomber plotting suicide attack on BJP leader over Prophet Mohammed row

Moscow, 23/8: The arrest of a terrorist by an intelligence agency of Russia unearthed the Islamic State’s (IS) plot to carry out a suicide attack on a leader of the ruling BJP in India.

 

Russia’s Federal Security Service arrested a man who was indoctrinated by the Islamic State during his stay in Turkey and was planning to carry out a suicide attack on a leader of the BJP, apparently in response to controversial comments about Prophet Mohammed made by two functionaries of the saffron party, Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal, in May.

 

Moscow made public the detention of the Islamic State terrorist in Russia just days after National Security Advisor Ajit Doval met with his counterpart Nikolai Patrushev
