WorldIndian police on Wednesday shot dead a self-radicalised Islamic State sympathiser who they said was involved in a train explosion that injured 10 people. Police said they ended a nearly 12-hour stand-off in the early hours by storming the house where the suspect, identified as Saifullah, was holed up in northern Uttar Pradesh state. About four to five bullets hit him and then Saifullah died,” Aseem Arun of India's anti-terror squad told reporters.
