India has been concerned about Islamist extremists on its soil for some time, and the Sri Lanka bombings in April left authorities alarmed that the Hindu-majority country might be at risk of an attack by jihadists.
NEW DELHI - Indian anti-terrorism police questioned six men on Thursday, after conducting raids against alleged Islamic State group supporters in the country's south.
India's National Investigation Agency said in a statement that the "prime accused" in the Coimbatore case, Mohammed Azarudeen "has been a Facebook friend" of Hashim. The NIA named five others aside from Azarudeen who, it alleged, were also spreading Islamic State propaganda on social media with the aim of attracting new recruits willing to carry out terrorist attacks in South India - "especially in Kerala and Tamil Nadu".
