Jaib Ansari, a 31-year-old US returnee, has been arrested for stabbing two security guards in Mira Road near Mumbai. Police said he first asked the guards their religion and if they could recite the Kalima. When they said no, he attacked them with a knife. Investigators said Ansari had been watching ISIS-related videos online, which is now a key focus of the probe.
