Implementing the Qur’an’s call to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5).

“ISIS using travelling trainers to teach IED-making in states,” by Rahul Chhabra, Sunday Guardian, September 17, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Terror organisation Islamic State (ISIS) has switched to a new tactic of recruiting “roaming trainers” to make improvised explosive device (IED). The trainers shift base continuously and impart explosive-making training to sleeper cells in different states.

Questioning of arrested ISIS operatives Imran Khan and Mohd Yunus Saki, who fell into the net of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) during an investigation into the 2022 seizure of explosives in Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh district, has revealed that the duo from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh was given special training in IED making.

After acquiring the skill to make IED, the two organised several training camps for members of the terror group’s sleeper cells in Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh. They also had Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra on their radar. NIA sources said Imran Khan was the mastermind of the IED seizure in Chittorgarh last year. The IED had been brought there to impart bomb-making training to recruits in the desert state. However, security agencies got wind of their plans and both Khan and Saki fled to Maharashtra.

Investigation into the Chittorgarh IED case led NIA to ISIS-inspired terror outfit “SUFA”. According to NIA, Saki and Imran Khan were actively engaged in spreading the ISIS ideology before their arrests from Maharashtra. NIA had earlier seized explosives and various components used in the fabrication of IEDs from the possession of the accused.

I wonder how many “Travelling IED Trainers” have crossed out southern border to train our sleeper cells?

We have our own domestic trainers operating out of Virginia.
