Shillong, Thursday, September 25, 2008: An email purportedly sent by the Indian Mujahideen, has threatened that the outfit will kill BJP leader L K Advani during his scheduled visit to Shillong on September 29.

The email, written in incoherent English, was dispatched to some local newspaper houses on Wednesday night sending the entire police machinery in the state into a tizzy.

Signed by self-styled North-East Field Commander of IM, Ali Hussain Badr, the email said Advani’s “Hindutva demand has pushed India into a fascist mould”.

Meanwhile, the senior police officials held a high-level meeting with Chief Minister Donkupar Roy.

Police visited a newspaper house where the email was sent and analysed it.

“We can’t say anything now, we are trying to trace the IP address,” a senior police official said, adding that prime facie it appeared that the email was sent from Shillong itself.
