New Delhi/ Allahabad, Dec 13 (ANI): Experts on Saturday (December 13) said the arrest of a man operating a pro-Islamic State Twitter account was a wake-up call and called upon investigation agencies to work along with neighbouring countries to fight militancy.

Talking about the incident, cyber expert, Pawan Duggal, said that cyber terrorism was emerging as the biggest challenge.
