A Kerala resident who is said to have gone to Afghanistan to join the Islamic State terror group was reportedly killed, an intelligence official said on Monday.
The news about the death of Sajeer M. Abdullah and a picture of his body was received on the mobile phone of a man, whose relative is among the 21 Keralites who left their homes here to join the IS, said the official of the Kerala police’s intelligence unit. However, there was no information about the time and cause of Abdullah’s death.
An intelligence official, who did not wish to be identified, said that the news and picture came to the same person who received reports about the death of three others of this group during the course of this year.
