'ISIS tweet' posted via proxy server in UAE'
2014-12-25
[TIMESOFINDIA.INDIATIMES] An intelligence agencies' probe into a recent tweet, suspected to be posted by one of the three missing Kalyan youths now with ISIS, has revealed that it originated in the UAE from a proxy server. Police say no special security arrangement has been made following the tweet, since they are already on high alert.

The tweet, supposedly uploaded by Fahad Shaikh, one of the three Kalyan youths, said India was targeted on 26/11 because people from a specific community and region financed riots and killed many innocents. The Twitter handle threatened to take them on.

An officer of inspector general of police rank in the security establishment said, "The tweet was uploaded around two weeks ago. We can just suspect that it has been tweeted by the missing Kalyan youth, Fahad Shaikh. However, we don't have any proof to authenticate it. The Twitter handle used a proxy server and showed its origin in the UAE."
