Islamic State Recruits

The political storm kicked up in Kerala by the controversial film 'The Kerala Story' continued to blow in the state, with the BJP claiming that recruitment into the Islamic State (IS) terror outfit from the southern state cannot be denied.

An Australian court granted conditional bail on Friday to a woman arrested on charges of entering and remaining in areas of Syria held by the militant group Islamic State.

The Taliban will officially recruit suicide bombers to become part of the army as the militant group tries to contain its biggest security threat from rival Islamic State since forming government in Afghanistan four months ago.

A Wisconsin woman hacked Facebook accounts to provide lessons in making bombs and poison on behalf of the Islamic State terrorist group, prosecutors said on Monday.

There was nothing about the hungry, bedraggled man who surrendered at a remote desert checkpoint belonging to the United States' Kurdish allies this year to suggest he had once played a part in one of the biggest events in American history. He was limping from injuries to both knees, his beard was matted and teeming with lice, and he was fleeing fr...

A few months before his killing rampage, convicted robber and prison inmate Benjamin Herman had a jailhouse conversion of a sort. A white suburban teen and a nominal Catholic when he was first incarcerated, he emerged in late May as an avowed Islamist who would murder three people within hours of gaining freedom on a work-release program.

US recruits to the Islamic State group struggle more than their European counterparts, lacking support networks and field experience and being assigned to menial jobs, a report on American jihadists said Monday.

The woman's secret flight from the caliphate took place more than six months ago, aided by a smuggler who helped her sneak across the Syrian-Turkish border one spring night. But in spirit, this red-haired exile from the Islamic State never truly left.

Sunday marked another nail in the coffin of the Islamic State (IS), as one of its top Indian recruiters and fundraisers, Abu Zaid, was arrested just as he arrived at the Mumbai airport from Saudi Arabia. Abu was part of an IS module that was planning an attack in India, but was busted before they could raise the money for it.

The ISIS once drew recruits from near and far with promises of paradise but now bodies of terrorists lie in mass graves or at the mercy of wild dogs as its "caliphate" collapses

The December marriage of a young homeopath in Kerala to a Muslim man returned from the Gulf anchors a wide examination by the country's top counter-terror agency into whether the southern state is being used by terror groups who deploy "love jihad" to recruit young woman. Just days after the Supreme Court allowed the National Investigating Agency o...

In recent months, the Islamic State has stepped up its efforts to target Iran, releasing a stream of propaganda, vowing more bloodshed and boosting recruitment among Iran's minority Sunnis, some of whom carried out the June attack.

Detailed debriefing of over 60 de-radicalised youngsters from across Maharashtra - including 20 from Mumbai - has given the state Anti-Terrorism Squad a glimpse into the Islamic State's playbook

One of the 11 young men who were suspected to have gone to join ISIS from Kerala's Kasargode, has allegedly died in a drone strike in Afghanistan. The family today received a Whatsapp message that read, "Hafees has been killed in a drone strike yesterday. We consider him shuhada (martyred) and Allah knows best".

The package ordered online arrived at his second-floor apartment on a brisk Saturday morning, a cardboard box packed with magnesium, potassium nitrate and aluminum powder for a homemade bomb. Weeks ahead of the attack, police said, the terrorist cell's leader - an Islamist his comrades called the Emir - had issued precautionary orders.
