Al Qaeda hacks into Indian Railways website, leaves message to join jihad

March 02, 2016 08:09

Al Qaeda allegedly hacked a microsite of the Railnet page of the Indian Railway to show its sinister reach for the first time. The hacked page of Bhusawal division of Personnel Department of the Central Railway and part of a large intranet created for the department's administrative needs, was replaced by a message of Maulana Aasim Umar, Al Qaeda chief in south Asia, for all Indian Muslims.

"Why is there no storm in your ocean? A message for Muslims of India from Maulana Aasim Umar (May Allah protect him)," read the message.

An attached 11-page document on the hacked page read: "Will the land of Delhi not give birth to a Shah Muhadith Delhvi who may once again teach the Muslims of India the forgotten lesson of Jihad and inspire them to take to the battlefields of Jihad?"

"Is there no successor left of the group that drenched itself in blood at Balakot, who possesses the spirit of rising in rebellion against a system based on disbelief and offering one's life for Allah?" the message said. In the message, people were encouraged to participate in jihad and help defeat the United State and its allies.
