New Delhi: The pro-IS twitter account which claimed of a car bomb during US President Barack Obama's India visit is again playing notorious. This time it is targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The account which was suspended last month, is suspected to be operated by one of the four alleged IS recruits from Mumbai however; it shows the location of its owner in Turkey.

Currently, the account has more than 500 followers and 220 pro-IS messages.

Reportedly, in the earlier message during Obama's visit, it tweeted, “Modi Obama the two Enemy of Allah. #26 January#flag hosting#car bomb#chemical,” said a tweet through the new account @Magnetgas1 on January 25, adding: “The people of kufr is one Millah.#Modi#Obama.”

The observation was an outcome of the intensified vigilance of the intelligence agencies after noticing increase in the number of Indian nationals flowing to war-stricken areas of Iraq and Syria.

Recently, a 19-year-old girl from Hyderabad had flown from Qatar to Turkey to join the militant group.

Sometime before, in another case, a group of nine people were deported from Turkey and detained by Bengaluru police for allegedly attempting to enter Syria.

According to an official's report who spoke to Times of India daily, “The threat of people getting radicalized on the Internet is real, and therefore, there is an urgent need for the agencies to take preventive measures.”
