The Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) has claimed that the suicide bomber, who had attacked the Kabul airport last month, was held in Delhi five years ago. He was deported to Afghanistan after serving in an Indian prison, said the ISIS-K in the recent edition of its propaganda magazine.
The ISIS-K had launched a suicide bombing attack outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on August 26 this year. The attack, which took place when evacuation operations were ongoing at Kabul airport, had killed over 180 people, including 13 US Marine soldiers.
The ISIS-K claimed that the suicide bomber, Abdur Rahman al-logri, was arrested in India five years ago when he had travelled to Delhi to launch an attack to take revenge for Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the ISIS-K is publishing its propaganda magazine since 2020. An edition was also taken out during the Delhi riots in February 2020. So far, dozens of people with suspected links with the ISIS-K’s propaganda magazine have been arrested from across India.
