Mohammed Shafi Armar

Mohammed Shafi Armar, the fugitive chief recruiter for the ISIS in the Indian subcontinent, has been named a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' by the US on Thursday, becoming the first Indian leader of the terror outfit against whom America has sponsored sanctions.

The Islamic State's chief recruiter in India has been killed in a US airstrike in Syria last week, ending a large hunt of security agencies for a man considered "extremely crucial" in setting up the terror network's fledgling bases in the country, official sources said on Monday.
