'ISIS' threat letter received by TN press club and police


Chennai, April 15 (IANS): The Chennai Press Club on Wednesday received an anonymous letter, ending with the acronym "ISIS", warning of killing 10 Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh (RSS) members and also carrying out serial bomb blasts here by April 24, a club official said.

Confirming the receipt of the warning letter, a press club official told IANS that the letter has been handed over to police.

"Identified 50 RSS active terrorists in Chennai. We swear to shoot at least 10 of them and repeat Kovai blasts by April 24," said the letter typed in red.
