Islamic State terrorist Abu Musa attacks Calcutta court judge with shoe

Islamic State (ISIS) operative Mohammed Mosiuddin (alias Abu Musa) in fury, hurled his shoe at the Chief Judge, City Sessions Court in Kolkata. Following the incident, NIA has put in a petition seeking his trial through a video link. Abu Musa has been lodged in the Presidency jail under the NIA custody.

“As per the regular morning practice, warden Gobinda Chandra Dey, 45, opened the lock of Musa’s cell when the ISIS operative hit him on the head with a stone and as he fell down, the prisoner jumped on him and hit him with a fork before trying to slit his throat,” the official said.

The terror suspect was arrested by CID in July 2016, in Burdan railway station. He was arrested for allegedly planning lone-wolf attacks for the Islamic States and was also accused of radicalising the youth and pursuing them to join the terror organisation. In 2014, Abu Musa took to social media platforms to connect with like-minded people. He reportedly came in contact with Shafi Armar, a former Mujahideen operative, who later was seen as the dominant recruiter for India. Abu Musa also met Abu Sulaiman, a former member of the Jamaat-Ul-Mujahideen.

The leg of Islamic State in the region, known as, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province (ISIL-K) is largely functional in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province (ISIL – K) announced its formation on January 10, 2015, through an online video.
