Al-Qaeda emerging from Kashmir with its eyes on India
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Last week marked India’s 70th independence and "division" anniversary. India celebrated amid tensions on the borders between it and China. India protested on Bhutan’s behalf but China defied it and Bhutan kept silent. India’s economic boom did not hide the tensions in Kashmire as the situation there is dangerous now that people’s struggle shifted from calling for freedom to calling for "an Islamic caliphate." This has worsened divisions between holy warrior Kashmiri groups and violence may escalate in the future between "the brothers in terrorism."It seems the situation there may lead to the return of al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent which is looking forward to have a foothold in Kashmire and in India later as there are close interests between al-Qaeda and Kashmiri local groups that support an Islamic caliphate in Kashmire. In June, al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent issued a "code of conduct" for its followers and called on other jihadist groups to vow loyalty to the Islamic State Posted by: Fred 2017-08-27 |
