Terror threat/ Recruiting the youths

The Islamic State’s (IS) body shoppers are still voraciously pushing more cannon fodder into the war theatre’s furnace, Indian intelligence has discovered.

IS sympathisers are active in Indian metros, hunting for potential recruits among the youth attracted to the jihadi group’s ideology - and are on the radar of the intelligence agencies.

Nearly 35 self-radicalised jihadis have been identified as spreading the venomous dogma of the IS, a new intelligence dossier suggests.
Some elements seen as “IS sympathisers” and mentioned on the Intelligence list are on a recruitment spree in fertile grounds in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad. 

Based on the inputs from the Intelligence Bureau and state intelligence units, a dossier has been shared with the Union Home Ministry on those now under surveillance.
