Gujarat ATS Nabs Four Islamic State Terrorists at Airport

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) arrested four Sri Lankan terrorists linked to the Islamic State at Sardar Vallabhai Patel airport. More details on the arrests are awaited. Previously, the ATS apprehended three individuals in Rajkot for alleged connections to Al Qaeda. They were reportedly recruiting for a Bangladeshi handler.

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on Monday said it arrested four ''terrorists'' of the Islamic State from the Sardar Vallabhai Patel airport here. The ATS, in a brief note, said the four accused, who were arrested from the airport, were Sri Lankan citizens and terrorists of the Islamic State. More details regarding the arrests are awaited.

In August last year, the ATS arrested three persons from Rajkot for their alleged links to Al Qaeda. They were prima facie working for a Bangladeshi handler to radicalise and recruit people for the banned terrorist organisation.
