NIA raids 30 locations in Telangana and Tamil Nadu in ISIS recruitment case
On october 23 of the previous year, a car bombing in coimbatore occurred in front of the Arulmigu Kottai Sangameshwarar Thirukovil temple on Eswaran Kovil Street in Ukkadam. The deceased accused Jamesha Mubeen was operating the Vehicle-Born Improvised Explosives Device (VBIED).
Following their 'bayath' or loyalty to ISIS's self-declared Caliph Abu-Al-Hasan Al-Hashimi Al-Qurashi, Mubeen and his friends were motivated by ISIS's hardline ideology to plan and carry out the terrorist act. According to NIA investigations, the accused planned to use this terrorist assault as retaliation against the Kafirs (non-Muslims).
