Avenging Insult To Prophet Mohammad: Al-Qaeda Affiliate AQIS Warns Of Terror Attacks In Delhi, Mumbai, Gujarat, UP

New Delhi: After the international furore over BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s remarks on Prophet Mohammad and death and rape threats to her, the Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has issued a letter warning of suicide bombings in Indian cities to avenge the insult to the Prophet.

In the threat letter dated June 6, the AQIS said it will launch suicide attacks in Delhi, Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat to “fight the honour of the Prophet”. All the states have been informed by the intelligence agencies about the threat and they have been asked to be on high alert, Financial Express reported.

The threat statement said, “saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi and Bombay and in UP and Gujarat”

“They shall find refuge neither in their homes nor in their fortified army cant Qaonments. May our mothers be bereaved of us if we do not avenge our beloved Prophet.”

“We shall kill those who affront our Prophet and we shall bind explosives with our bodies and the bodies of our children to blow away the ranks of those who dare to dishonour our Prophet… [They] shall find no amnesty or clemency, no peace and security will save them and this matter will not close with any words of condemnation or sorrow,” it added.

The threat statement mentioned “Hindutva terrorists occupying India” and said “we shall fight for the dignity of our Prophet, we shall urge others to fight and die for the honour of our Prophet,”

Further in the letter, Al-Qaeda said that they will ask others to fight for them and kill those people who insult their Prophet.

“We will tie bombs to our and children’s bodies to blast those who speak ill about our Prophet,” the letter said.

The terror group has clearly mentioned in the letter, “Saffron terrorists must now wait for their end in Delhi, Mumbai, UP, and Gujarat. Such people will neither be able to stay safe in their home nor their army will be able to protect them,” an India TV report said.
