The mysterious Kashmiri terrorist group al-Madina, is threatening potential participants in the Indian version of American Idol. al-Madina is responsible for several low-profile terror strikes mainly on Indian government and military targets. Indian intelligence suspects them of being a front group for the more substantial and dangerous Pakistani group Lashkar-e-Taiba or “Army of the Righteous.”

Al-Madina has threatened to kill anyone who will take part in the show.
