Thread: New Bengali video (8 mins 9 secs) purportedly from ISIS in Bengal, released via Telegram on August 9/10. Feat. 4 guys, guy second from left (with glasses) is the speaker. Video is a call for attacks in Bangladesh.
Video itself looks very strange esp. b/c of the props used. Toy rifles with scopes (!), wireless sets (ISIS in BD *never* used these) and suicide vests with dummy (!) bombs 💣 Someone is trying too much to impress🤷‍♂️
Re: content. Speaker gives out a possible list of actors to target as part of jihad in Bengal: members of parliament; leaders and activists of democratic political parties; LEA members. They are labeled as murtads and their blood and property are declared halal.
There is a specific point made about engaging in attacks against the *near enemy* in Bangladesh which is as good as engaging in attacks against US crusaders and mal*** (Hindu) Indians.
Noted repression, oppression, attacks against Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Arakan, Baghuz. Special mention of Uyghur concentration camps. The only solution and response to these, according to the speaker, is jihad and qital. This is a call for action by Muslims.
Speaker addresses the taghut and murtad of Bengal and Hind, threatens mass slaughter. Dawlatul Islam (ISIS) is still active in the region and is preparing for new attacks, that is the message. There is also a call for Sunni Muslims in the region to provide support to ISIS.
Warning issued: Do *not* go near political party rallies; political party offices; polling centres; police stations and check-posts; government offices; court buildings; Hindu gatherings. "If you are unable to support the Khilafah, then stay indoors," says the speaker.
Video ends with the four guys pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This is administered by the guy with the yellow scarf.
Nothing really new here though. One would expect more concrete messaging in a Bengali video released by ISIS after such a long break. Definitely underwhelming compared to earlier Bengali videos or even texts.

I wonder why did they release something like this right now🤷‍♂️ //

The IED attack against police in Dhaka yesterday is not at all a surprise. Though the CTTC chief claimed that "terrorist groups in Bangladesh do not have the capacity to carry out an organised attack," we *knew* something was coming. In fact I tweeted a warning on March 13.
As @muktadirnewage quoted my tweet in a report for New Age on March 16: "... ISIS is trying to regroup and launch new attacks in Bangladesh, esp. attacks targeting security forces and government officials..."

newagebd.net/article/67543/…
Yes, that was me on March 13, warning about ISIS attacks against security forces and government officials in Bangladesh. That tweet my part of my thread on an article by ISIS' new representative for Bangladesh, Shaikh Abu Muhammad al-Bengali

Security czars in Bangladesh (the very ones who failed to stop Holey Artisan b/c of sheer incompetence and turf wars) are known for hyperbole and lies. CTTC chief Monirul Islam is no exception. But, his latest claims are mind-boggling. A thread.

thedailystar.net/backpage/news/…
At a time when ISIS and AQIS are regrouping in Bangladesh (and we know this based on their renewed propaganda efforts), Monirul says jihadis do not have the capacity to carry out an organised attack. I wonder how he is going to walk back on that once there is an attack.
More serious is the claim that Bangladeshi ISIS jihadis who went to fight in Syria, Iraq are either dead or captured. If that really is the case, CTTC can easily publish a list of individuals and account for all the fighters we know of. Who was captured and who died? Let us know!

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.

#THREAD: What help did #Saudi give to its neighbour, #Iraq ?
1-#IRAQ 🇮🇶 : On the wake of the Iran-Iraq war, Saudi Arabia provided Iraq with $25 million in support for its war against the expansionist Mullah regime. Moreover, a part of the Kingdom’s oil production was reserved for Iraqi customers.
2-#IRAQ: #Pipelines were also constructed to help #Iraqi #oil flow through #Saudi territory during the war, this was sadly returned by an Iraqi invasion of #Kuwait and the firing of missiles to Saudi during the #gulfwar.

Earth Day #thread on some video work and campaign finance research I did my senior year of high school in 2014 about the oil and gas industry's destruction of Louisiana's coast and political system, which I couldn't have done without @mikewstagg.
Also couldn't have done it without my mom @ElizabethRobeso, then working for the exec. director of @RestoreLa_Now, a historian, John Barry, who spearheaded what @NathanielRich called "The Most Ambitious Environmental Lawsuit Ever"—he sued 97 oil companies to restore southeast LA.
In 2014, I filmed the "No Big Oil Bailout" bus tour of the Louisiana Coastal Zone by the #GreenARMY, @labucketbrigade, and @RestoreLa_Now, the basis of an amateur mini-documentary, "Lost Paradise," feat. John Barry, @mikewstagg, @GeneralHonore, and others. vimeo.com/93740065
