Islamic State to plan, LeT to execute terror attacks in India: Report

June 08, 2016 10:39

Islamic State, the world's deadliest terror group, is reported to have tried hard but failed to make its presence felt in India.

And now, the IS is reported to have changed its tactics and is believed to be co-ordinating with regional terror groups like the Lashkar-e-Tayiba to carry out attacks in India.

The Deccan Chronicle reported on Wednesday about an alert issued by the Intelligence Bureau.

The alert states: "ISIS is desperate to make its presence felt in India and for this purpose is trying to co-ordinate with LeT to outsource some of its operations."

The alert further says the IS would plan and supervise the entire operation while it would be executed by the LeT, which already has a presence in India.
