Bangladesh: 17 Muslims arrested in front of a mosque, planned to go to Saudi Arabia to wage jihad

May 10, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A mosque? Had the 17 arrested Muslims just come out of that mosque? Has that mosque’s teachings been investigated? Why not?

“Bangladesh Arrests Suspected Militants Bound for Saudi Arabia, Police Say,” by Kamran Reza Chowdhury, BenarNews, May 5, 2020:

Bangladeshi police have arrested 17 suspected militants who wanted to travel to Saudi Arabia by land to meet up with an engineer believed to be recruiting for jihad, a counter-terror official said Tuesday.

Terrorism-related cases have been filed against the suspects who remain under detention after their arrests late Monday in front of a mosque in Dhaka, according to Saiful Islam, a deputy commissioner of the police’s counter-terrorism and transnational crimes unit.

“They belong to the old JMB,” Islam told BenarNews, referring to the banned militant group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh, which affiliated with al-Qaeda in the past.

“During primary interrogation, they informed us that they were going to Saudi Arabia via India,” Islam said.

He said an expatriate Bangladeshi engineer “spread an online message to go to Saudi Arabia to wage the so-called jihad there,” and 19 men had assembled outside the Kakrail mosque in Dhaka to begin the journey….

“[M]ilitants have been exploiting the situation. They have been circulating among the people that coronavirus was sent by Allah to punish the people,” retired Army Maj. Gen. Abdur Rashid told BenarNews….

Ataur Rahman Miazi, a professor of Islamic history and culture at Dhaka University, told BenarNews that the militants, possibly including the Bangladeshi engineer in Saudi Arabia, had been brainwashing regular citizens.

“We very often see that some people claim themselves as the messenger of Allah,” Miazi said. “This engineer could have taken such a ploy to mislead people.”

    Did they give their bank account and credit card information to the engineer?
