Delhi court convicts 4 Al-Qaeda operatives for plotting against India

Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Friday convicted four Al-Qaida Indian Subcontinent (a wing of Al-Qaida) operatives for conspiring terrorist acts against India. The court also acquitted two men who were suspected to be the operatives.

According to the Delhi police, in December 2015, information was received that Al-Qaeda was trying to set up its base in India under the banner of Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and had declared one Asim Umar as its chief.
