Kerala youth who joined the Islamic State Khorasan detonated suicide vest on his wedding night

The terrorist group Islamic State-Khorasan in its latest issue said that an Indian recruit was recently killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan, news agency Hindustan Times reported citing a report from Voice Of Khorasan, a publication launched by the terrorist group.

The report by HT said that the person was known by his pseudonym Najeeb-al Hindi and said that he hailed from Kerala. The 23-year old was an M.Tech student.

The article in the terrorist group’s publication pointed out that he travelled to Khorasan province, where the group is active, with the aim to fight for the IS-K.

The report also highlighted that he married a Pakistani woman who was a relative of another fighter of the IS-K. Over the years, the spread of radical Islam through online outlets and social media has led to indoctrination of several youth from India, mostly from Kerala.

In Nangarhar, during an operation, in 2019, at least 25 Indians were captured. Among those 13 were women and there were also some children.
