ISIS at-Tamkin has posted a (shortened) translation of an article by Shaikh Abu Muhammad al-Bengali which was published recently in Shabab al-Khilafah magazine. I think I have an idea who Abu Muhammad really is *but* will focus in this thread on his article.
@siteintelgroup says the article was published in the sixth issue of the magazine but I have not seen the original version. I am relying on the Bengali translation published by at-Tamkin on March 11.
Abu Muhammad directly addresses members and supporters of ISIS in Bangladesh (Bengal) and has 3 main points.
1. Members must stay loyal towards their group leaders. And, all the cells (ISIS affiliates) must immediately establish contact and rally behind the *representative of the Khilafah* in Bengal ("খিলাফাহর পক্ষ থেকে নিযুক্ত বাংলার প্রতিনিধি") -- the representative is not named.
2. Members and supporters must not be fearful of the security agencies, despite the onslaught of arrests and torture.
3. A clear call for lone-wolf attacks on taghut (secular state) targets using cars ("আপনার যদি একটি গাড়ী থাকে তাহলে তাগুত কাফির ও তাদের সহযোগীদের যেখানে পাবেন চাপা দিন") and knives.
These are all concrete calls for action that show ISIS is trying to regroup and launch new attacks in Bangladesh, esp. attacks targeting security forces and government officials.
That ISIS still has a representative for Bangladesh is also very interesting. Is it Abu Ibrahim al-Hanif (Saifullah Ozaki) who was apparently hiding somewhere in the Philippines last time I checked or is it someone new? Maybe we will find out soon or never 🤷🏻‍♂️/
