New Delhi: During Friday prayers about 30 CDs were thrown in a mosque in Srinagar and news agencies in the Jammu and Kashmir capital also received CDs and a statement allegedly from the al-Qaeda saying that it is declaring war on India.
The CD shows a man called Abu Abdul Rehman Ansari, who claims to be a top al-Qaeda leader.
In the CD, Ansari announces that the terrorist organisation is launching a jehad (holy war) against India. The statement is both in Arabic and Urdu.
Reacting to the CDs, the Union Home Ministry said that there is no need to panic and they are conducting necessary inquiries.
"This has come to our notice and we are conducting the necessary inquiries. We view such activities and threats as a desperate effort by terrorists and anti-national elements to try and create problems in the country and scare among the people. A close watch is being maintained by the state and central government agencies and action is being taken on a continuous basis to foil such designs. There is no need for any panic," a Home Ministry official said in New Delhi.
