 Abu Thahir hopes that more Indians will join Jihad

Staff correspondent, August 5, 2015, NewsCrunch

A former Kerala journalist Abu Thahir, now with ISIS, maintains a Facebook page, where he posts propaganda material in Malayalam.

He recently posted a message recently comparing PM Modi with Syrian President Bashar.

Alleging that Syrians were bombing children, he said Bashar and Modi were equal, it’s only that they were not born to same parents.

The News Minute has accessed Abu Thahir’s Facebook page and published its excerpts.

In his Facebook posts Abu Thahir hopes that more Indians will join Jihad, chain the leaders of the present government and take to the streets.

Abu Thahir’s social media activities also belie the reports that the Palakkad journalist had died a few months ago while serving his ISISmasters.

The Intelligence Bureau and the Kerala police have concluded that Abu Thahir is now with ISIS.

The twenty-four-year-old Abu Thahir left his home two years ago to join his father in Qatar. However, he instead  reached Syria and made his way to ISIS.

A graduate in sociology from Malappuram, Abu Thahir, was the local correspondent of Thejas, a Malayalam daily run by the Popular Front of India (PFI).

The Hindu spoke to Thejas executive editor N.P. Chekkutty who said Abu Thahir was not a confirmed staffer of the daily. He may have worked on a temporary basis and that too for a short duration, said Chekkutty.
