8.) Hyderabad IS module was told to use `rival' Qaida's mobile encryption software
Even though al-Qaida and the Islamic State (IS) are often portrayed as rivals, probe by Indian agencies against IS's Hyderabad module showed how a tool developed by one is coming in handy for the other.
The handler of the Mohammad Ibrahim Yazdani-led IS module, who claimed he was in daily contact with IS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, told the Indian members to use mobile based encryption software programme Amn al-Mujahid (security for mujahid) for interactions as it made the chats secure and impossible for intelligence agencies to track, said sources. Amn al-Mujahid was reportedly developed by al-Qaida's exclusive online distributor Al Fajr Media Centre for use by its jihadis.
