NavaSanganakahMumbai Airport: ISIS Sleeper Cell Disrupted
In a significant counter-terrorism operation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has apprehended two individuals suspected of belonging to an ISIS sleeper cell at Mumbai’s bustling airport. The arrests mark a crucial blow against potential terror threats within India.
These arrests stem from a 2023 case involving the fabrication and testing of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Pune, Maharashtra. The duo were identified as key suspects in this ongoing investigation, indicating a possible link between the IED activity in Pune and a larger, potentially more dangerous network.
The successful apprehension at Mumbai’s international airport highlights the heightened security measures in place and the NIA’s vigilance in thwarting potential attacks. Further details about the suspects and the investigation are expected to be released as the case progresses. This event serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threat posed by extremist groups and the critical importance of robust counter-terrorism strategies.
