[JihadWatch] Jihad poisoning plots are not new. Al-Qaeda has long considered the contamination of food as a jihad mass murder tactic. And in 2017, the Islamic State called on Muslims to poison food in Western supermarkets
The Maharashtra anti-terror squad has foiled a plot by terrorists to poison the ‘mahaprasad' of the famous Mumbreshwar Mahadev temple in Thane district. A terror suspect named Talha Potrick has hatched the conspiracy to poison the prasad.
The Maharashtra ATS got the information about the plot during the questioning of 10 suspects, who allegedly had links with dreaded terrorist group Islamic State. The information was furnished by the ATS in the chargesheet against them filed on Monday.
According to the chargesheet, an attempt was made to poison the prasad during ‘Srimad Bhagwat Katha', which was organised at the 400-year-old temple in December 2018. However, they could not succeed in their attempt.
The ATS has also claimed that the arrested suspected were in touch with Zakir Naik.
