UK warns India of IS attack

New Delhi: Britain has warned India about possible attack by IS and said all efforts must be taken to check activities of the Middle-East terrorist group. British officials have conveyed this to their Indian counterparts at the Indo-UK Counter Terrorism Joint Working Group meeting held in London on January 15-16.
Officials said that during the meeting, India had asked Britain to impress upon Pakistan not to differentiate between "good" and "bad" terrorists in the wake of recent attack on a school in Peshawar and said that it must take a firm stand on why Pakistan had become a nursery of terrorists. "We have asked Britain to be alert about possible attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba there. Britain in turn has warned us that an attack by IS could take place in India," an official said.
A US-returned engineer, on way to join IS, arrested in Hyderabad two days ago. Four Mumbai youth had disappeared in Iraq-Syria in May 2014 and apparently joined IS. One of them returned in November last year and was subsequently arrested. A Bangalore-based executive was also arrested last month for operating a pro-IS Twitter handle to propagate the ideology of the Middle-East terrorist group.
