KERALA MAN SAYS HE IS WITH ISIS

While the state police and national intelligence agencies are trying hard to trace 21 missing persons from Kerala, believed to have reached an Islamic State (ISIS) camp somewhere in Afghanistan or Iraq, one of them has reached out to his sister.

Ashfaq Majeed, a native of Padanna in Kasaragod, contacted his sister on the secure online communication platform Telegram and invited his mother, father and relatives to join him in the “cred land of the ISIS.”

Experts tracked the messages to Tora Bora mountain ranges of Eastern Afghanistan. His relatives said he began by asking if everybody was doing fine, and when his sister said he had made their life miserable, he got angry.
