Arrested ISIS operative was storing gunpowder from past 2 years, says his wife

Arrested ISIS operative Abu Yusuf was bringing gunpowder and other material in small quantity and storing them at home, for the past two years, informed his wife Ayesha on Sunday.

Talking to media, Ayesha said that she had known about his activities, but kept quiet because Yusuf strictly asked her not to reveal the information to anyone.

"He was storing gunpowder and other material at home here in a box. When I told him he should not do such things, he told me that I should not stop him, and he would do wherever he feels like. He asked me strictly to not tell anybody, even family," she said.

The wife of the ISIS operative added that she wishes her husband could be forgiven. "I have four kids. Where will I go," she added.

Other family members of Yusuf, including his father, mother and younger brother deny having any knowledge of his involvement with the terrorist outfit.

"We came to know about his involvement with ISIS through police yesterday when they came to search our house. A black flag with white Arabic inscriptions was recovered from his belongings, among other things," said Yusuf's younger brother Aakib.

As per Aakib and his parents, from past few years, Yusuf and his wife were living separately. "The family had limited communication with them," he said.
