New Delhi: In an attempt to lure more fighters from the country, Islamic State has made an Indian, the poster boy of the the outfit.

Anwar Hussain, a 39 year old man from karnataka's Bhatkal town was reportedly killed in Afghanistan fighting for ISIS in 2014.

The terror group has released a new video, where the Indian terrorist Anwar Hussain could be seen saying, "Jihad is our duty. For this we (jihadists) have come from several parts of the world. Despite this, Allah ensured good food for all of us. We got best of best food and friends here. In this fight Allah has given us all those things, which one cannot get, even being rich."

The National Investigating Agency which had arrested more than 40 ISIS handlers across India believes the latest video is an attempt by the global Jihadi outfit to revive the recruitment drive in India as

it had failed to attract any major attention from the country.

The narrative of Hussain's sacrifice in the 14-minute video is that he wanted his family in India to be informed if he was "martyred". In the beginning of the video, the narrator describes the background of Anwar Husain and the views of other jihadists about Hussain who say he was fasting the day he was killed.
