Al-Qaeda has tried in the past and failed to woo Indian Muslim youth !

Aziz Mubarki, national secretary of South Asia Ulema Council in Kolkata, said the al-Qaeda stunt could hurt Indian Muslims, already vulnerable to counterterrorism operations and communal violence.

"If al-Qaeda really spreads its network in India …we shall see an increased number of innocent Muslims suffering in jail," he told Khabar South Asia.

Al-Qaeda has tried in the past and failed to woo disaffected Indian Muslim youth, he said. "In fact, it failed miserably to attract Indian Muslims… This time too Indian Muslim youths will not respond to the call of al-Qaeda, I am sure," Mubarki told Khabar.

In Kashmir, separatists dismissed Zawahiri's statement.
