Ø In a video posted online, al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri promised
to spread Islamic rule and raise the flag of jihad across the Indian
subcontinent. Until now there has been no evidence that al-Qaeda, the group
responsible for the September 11, 2001 airliner attacks on the World Trade
Centre in New York, has a presence in India. The timing and content of the
video suggest rivalry between al-Qaeda and its more vigorous rival in Syria and
Iraq, Islamic State, which seems to be gathering support in South Asia. Mr.
Zawahiri’s announcement made two references to Gujarat. He termed the formation
of al- Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent glad tidings for Muslims in Burma,
Bangladesh, Assam, Gujarat, Ahmedabad and Kashmir.
