Prophet Remarks Row: Al-Qaeda Threatens Suicide Attacks In Several States, Including Delhi
Terror group Al-Qaeda has threatened to carry out suicide attacks in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai and Delhi to "fight for the dignity of our Prophet".
Terror group Al-Qaeda has threatened to carry out suicide attacks in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai and Delhi to "fight for the dignity of our Prophet", news agency ANI reported. The threat was issued in statement dated June 6 that said "saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi and Bombay and in UP and Gujarat".
"They shall find refuge neither in their homes nor in their fortified army cantonments. May our mothers be bereaved of us if we do not avenge our beloved Prophet," the terrorist organisation said in the purported statement, according to the ANI report.
"We shall kill those who affront our Prophet and we shall bind explosives with our bodies and the bodies of our children to blow away the ranks of those who dare to dishonor our Prophet... [They] shall find no amnesty or clemency, no peace and security will save them and this matter will not close with any words of condemnation or sorrow," the terror outfit added.
The threat statement said "Hindutva terrorists occupying India", and added that "we shall fight for the dignity of our Prophet, we shall urge others to fight and die for the honour of our Prophet".
The threat by the terror group comes after suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma and the party's former Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal made a controversial statement on Prophet Mohammed during a TV debate and on social media, respectively.
The incident has been condemned by several countries, particularly Islamic nations. Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE, Afghanistan and the Maldives are some of the Muslim countries that on Monday condemned the remarks made by the suspended BJP leaders.
