As the outfit does not have any official spokesperson, the agencies are not sure if the statement has indeed been released by the AQIS.
Security agencies are examining a statement purportedly issued by the Afghanistan-based Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), condoling the death of separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani earlier this month, which extended support to the terrorists operating in Jammu & Kashmir. As the outfit does not have any official spokesperson, the agencies are not sure if the statement has indeed been released by the AQIS. However, its content is being taken seriously for the purpose of threat perception assessment. “This may very well be yet another ploy for taking advantage of the situation to influence the security scenario in Jammu & Kashmir. A similar modus operandi is adopted by outfits like The Resistance Front and Peoples’ Anti Fascist Front, the proxies used to claim responsibility for terror attacks, to conceal the role of Pakistan-based elements,” said an agency official.
