NIA identifies 43 suspects involved in attacks on Indian High Commissions in UK, US and Canada
Sunday, 31 December 2023 NIA identified 43 suspects involved in attacks on Indian High Commissions in UK, US, and Canada. The agency conducted over 50 raids, examined 80 individuals, and achieved a 94.70% conviction rate. They arrested 625 accused and seized 240 assets worth Rs 56 crores. NIA recorded 28% more arrests in 2023, including cases related to ISIS, jihadi terror, human trafficking, and left-wing extremism. The agency registered 68 cases and charged 513 persons. They also attached properties worth Rs 56 crores and dismantled terror and crime ecosystems.
The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region. The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria. Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces. The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region. Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants. The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.
