Ministry of Home Affairs roped in NIA to Probe Al Qaeda-Linked Network In Assam

With inputs from a deep-rooted network being operated by Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) in different districts of Assam, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has roped in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to unearth the module.

A First Information Report (FIR) of the NIA clearly mentions that the module of AQIS was “active in different districts of Assam”, having links with Bangladesh-based terror outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).

The moves come days after Indian authorities destroyed two madrasas in Assam for allegedly carrying out “jihadi” activities on its premises.
