Dabiq: Operations in Bangladesh
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The May 2016 edition of ISIS’ Dabiq magazine devoted a significant portion to discussing its operations in Bangladesh, and how they hoped to expand operations to Burma.
Page 50 of this included a profile of a young Bangladeshi named Abu Jandal al-Bangali. Abu Jandal was killed during a battle in Ayn Issa, northern Syria. Just like the perpetrators of the Dhaka attacks, Abu Jandal came from an affluent family in the capital city of Dhaka and his family had military connections.
He was an avid reader of
the works of Shaykh Taqi’ ad-Din Ahmad ibn ‘Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyyah (r.a.)
and significantly, books of ‘aqidah authored by Muhammad ibn ‘Abd
al-Wahhab, the arch-heretic and founder of the Wahhabi sect. Dabiq also published a short letter by Abu
Jandal himself, addressed to “brothers in Islam,” whom he encouraged to be
prepared to join ISIS.
