FPJ gains exclusive access to classified intelligence
FPJ exclusively have access to the classified intelligence from a central organisation revealing that during a thorough analysis of terror threats, the Agency pinpointed Abu Mohammad as the suspected ISIS handler. Shockingly, he disseminated a cryptic Urdu article, titled 'Lone Mujahid Pocketbook,' on a deceptive Instagram channel. The article intricately detailed sinister methods, including torching parked vehicles, orchestrating road accidents, igniting forest fires, demolishing buildings, and crafting lethal explosives with IEDs and remote control detonations, all aimed at executing jihad and eliminating 'kuffars'.

The Agency also identified a suspicious figure associated with the 'Lone Mujahid Pocketbook' named Adyan Sandhu. Startlingly, Sandhu is implicated in guiding Indian youth to tamper with railway tracks, particularly those carrying freight such as oil and coal. This revelation adds a concerning dimension to the potential threats posed by individuals influenced by the nefarious ideologies outlined in the pocketbook.
More about the 'Lone Mujahid Pocketbook'
According to top official sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, the Al-Qaeda 'Lone Mujahid Pocketbook' was first published in 2013. Multiple editions were subsequently released by Al-Qaeda through online propaganda, with the intent of facilitating lone-wolf terror operations in the United States and other Western countries. This pocketbook remains highly threatening, containing dangerous content that guides lone wolves.

In Western countries, possession or sharing of pages from the book, or paper cuttings of the pocketbook, is considered grounds for suspicion. Through this propaganda pocketbook, Al-Qaeda successfully instigated and inspired youth to carry out small-scale terrorist attacks within Western countries. The guidebook suggests using easily obtainable materials such as motor or cooking oil, sugar, and matches to trigger massive traffic accidents, devastating fires, and deadly explosions, thereby amplifying the impact of their acts.

According to a highly placed source, the act of disseminating this pocketbook on social media at this crucial moment is a conspicuous indicator of a substantial threat, particularly amid the fervor surrounding the 'Pran Prathishtha' ceremony at the Ayodhya Ram Temple.
Risk not confined to Ayodhya alone
However, the risk is not confined to Ayodhya alone; Mumbai, Maharashtra, Delhi, Kolkata, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and every state involved in the ceremony, including their respective pooja sthal, are potential targets. In the current scenario, many individuals are linking it to caste-based discrimination and interpreting it as a direct affront to their community.
In this context, the potential for an attempted minor lone-wolf attack at any worship place in India, orchestrated by a dissatisfied or disruptive individual, not only has the capacity to intensify communal tensions but also stands as a symbolic representation of communal violence, providing an ominous platform for the proliferation of terrorist activities.
