In a statement released by its official mouthpiece al-Sahab media, the terror group claims that its "mujahideen" are ready to blow themselves up in Delhi, Mumbai, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. The Al-Qaeda threat statement mentioned the ruling party as "Hindutva terrorists occupying India" and claimed that their fighters would die for the dignity of the Prophet. It also repeated claims about a so-called Muslim victory in the battle for India or Ghazwa-e-Hind. On the other hand, the Al Qaeda is no longer as powerful as it was in 2001, when its suicide bombers crashed commercial airliners into New York's World Trade Centre. In most parts of the Middle East, the terror group Islamic State has overtaken the Al Qaeda. So is this latest threat a desperate attempt by Al Qaeda, to stay relevant?
