Signalling its growing concern over IS terror and radicalisation, the government has appointed the former Intelligence Bureau Chief Asif Ibrahim to a key post in the Prime Minister�s office. Mr. Ibrahim, who retired in December 2014, will be the PM�s �Special Envoy on Countering Terrorism and Extremism,� with a charter to liaise with governments in West Asia, Af-Pak and South East Asia. As Director IB, Mr. Ibrahim started work on the government�s new counter radicalisation strategy in 2014, which was triggered by the Islamic State takeover of parts of Iraq and Syria, after it emerged that at least a dozen men of Indian origin had joined the terror group. He is also known to have negotiated with the top leadership in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia on terror cooperation. Source: The Hindustan Times
