Doctors of DEATH! India hunts jihadi physician ‘al-Hindi’ leading calls for all medics to join ISIS terror groups
Indian security agencies are searching for information about a doctor, believed to be from the southern state of Kerala, who recently featured in a propaganda video for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Abu Muqatil al-Hindi, who appears to be in his mid-forties, is seen encouraging medical professionals from across the world to join the healthcare services at the ISIS-held zones of Syria in the name of Islamic brotherhood.
Intelligence officials said the last name — in this case
al-Hindi — is commonly given to identify the place of origin of an
ISIS recruit.
hey point out to another doctor in the same video, named Abu Yusuf al-Australi who turned out to be Dr Tareq Kamleh from Adelaide (Australia) who joined the terror outfit in 2015.
‘We strongly suspect al-Hindi to be at the helm of recruiting jihad-sympathisers from India,’ medical professionals to join terrorist group.
In the video clip, al-Hindi gives out details of ISIS healthcare services getting support and volunteers from several parts of the world.
‘We have doctors from Australia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia… and that’s the few to be named.
‘We have female doctors separately for the females and for the children,’ he says.
Al-Hindi describes how the ISIS healthcare service has grown from strength to strength due to continued support from foreign countries as they are able to provide medical services from 30 patients a week.
A logo at the bottom of the screen labels the video-makers as Islamic State Health Services while a small ISIS flag waves in the top-left corner of the monitor.
The video shows an operational medical facility with all the modern equipment.
Other doctors in the video identify themselves with their erstwhile nationalities, like Australia, Egypt and Syria, underlining their case as why Muslim medical professionals should join their ranks.
The footage features doctors in a variety of units, ranging from a special kidney centre to a medical school.
A senior officer said the video presents a rare strategy of ISIS, where instead of taking pride in their brutal actions as earlier they are employing a positive PR campaign to tout their medical successes.
‘But make no mistake. They still thrive on hatred for un-Islamic administrations,’ the official said.
