ISIS operative arrested in Delhi with IEDs, terror strike averted

New Delhi, Aug 22 (UNI) The Special Cell of Delhi Police has arrested a man, suspected to be an ISIS operative, with two Improvised Explosive Devices and a semi-automatic restricted bore pistol and four magazines of the same.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell Delhi Pramod Singh Kushwah, the suspect was identified as 36-year-old Mohammed Mustakim Khan alias Abdul alias Abu Yusuf.
He was arrested from Ridge Road near Dhaula Kuan after a brief exchange of fire and two pressure cooker IEDs were recovered from him, on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.
During questioning, he revealed that initially, his plan was to launch a strike around August 15 in the national capital.
However, due to the heavy and intensified security checks, this became difficult, said the accused, adding that he planned to plant these IEDs in a heavy footfall area during this week, assuming that security arrangements would be lenient, as compared to the Independence Day.
He further revealed that on the completion of this task, his next instructions were to launch a lone-wolf 'Fidayeen' strike, but was yet to receive instructions on where and when to conduct the same.
The police official further said the suspect was under their surveillance for about an year, through sources.
