This development has worried Indian intelligence agencies as an operation actually took place around 2016 in which an Afghan suicide bomber, who was a student, was tracked down to a college on the Delhi-Haryana border.
The suspect, who was collecting IEDs to carry out what could be the first suicide bombing by IS in the country, was deported back to Afghanistan after being caught in a covert operation. Coalition forces then launched an operation against IS, based on information obtained from their interrogation.
A subsequent attack resulted in a major setback for the ISKP, in which over 500 terrorists were evicted in subsequent bombings. The suspect, codenamed Haim, was later lodged in an Afghan prison. Preliminary information with one agency suggests he may have been freed during an IS-organised jailbreak in early August and then used to bomb the airport during the US military’s exit from the country.
After the bombing of the airport, the fidayeen was identified by IS mouthpiece Amaq as Abdul Rahman al-Loghari. Indian agencies are particularly concerned with the IS magazine’s claim that the other prisoners who fled with Logari are “waiting for an opportunity”.
In the article, the magazine’s editor says of Logari: “The brother was arrested in India five years ago, when he went to Delhi to conduct an itishadi (martyr) operation… the brother was deported to Afghanistan. , but he didn’t go home and do his operation.”
The article also criticizes the Taliban, refers to them as murtads (faithful to their religion), and calls Pakistan’s ISI Taliban bosses. “On August 15, the US-led coalition left Kabul as the Murtad Taliban took power. In the days that followed and in the days before this strategic withdrawal, the dead Taliban fell to new heights by their own standards. From attending Rafida’s shameless gatherings to patronizing criminals, Murtaddin grew more and more shameless,” reads the piece.
“Kabul airport saw thousands of Afghan bureaucrats trying to leave with their families, traitors and Muslim killers. By the grace of Allah, a Caliphate soldier, Abdur Rahman al-Logari, carried out an Istishdi operation that resulted in the deaths of 250 people, including 13 crusading American Marines and over a dozen mortified Taliban fighters,” the article said. Is.
“The brother was arrested in India five years ago, when he went to Delhi to conduct an impromptu operation on cow-worshipping Hindus to avenge Kashmir. But Allah had decided otherwise and the brother was tried with imprisonment and sent to Afghanistan. Keeping his promise to Allah, the brother did not go home, instead he did his operation, his heart was filled with peace and happiness, ”the magazine said.
Intelligence sources said the 2016 operation was highly appreciated by the security establishment and details were shared with other security agencies.
Interestingly, the suspect was tracked through human intelligence after an Indian agency was alerted about the possibility of a fidayeen attack in Delhi after analyzing some communications and transactions that raised red flags. Were. Detectives conducted covert surveillance in Lajpat Nagar and at least four educational institutions in Delhi and Haryana for nearly a year before identifying the “highly motivated” suspect.
