Mail Today reports: The Intelligence Bureau has sounded an alert on a possible strike by terror group ISIS, or the Islamic State, across the country.

While there have been intelligence inputs about sympathisers of the terror group being active in India, but this is the first time there has been an alert about the possibility of a strike in the country.

The alert, which has been sent to all state police forces, says the group can target Turkish nationals and interests in the country.

The alert issued on June 1 states that consequent to developments in Syria, it is anticipated that there may be increased threat to Turkish missions and interests in various countries by terror organisation ISIS.

"Following this information, security of Turkish interests should be strengthened," the alert said.

Till now, the government's stand has been that the appeal of ISIS is only limited to a few radicalised youth from the minority community but there is no influence of the group directly in the country.
