ISIS-Backed Ricin Terror Plot Foiled in India
A group of terrorists linked to ISIS was caught planning to use a very poisonous substance called ricin to hurt people in India.
They had some of the things needed to make the poison, and police found videos of one of them leaving a hotel.
Other dangerous things like ISIS flags and maybe guns were also found.
This happened after a big bomb attack in Delhi, so everyone is being very careful now.
