Dhaka, Bangladesh (IINA) - Bangladeshi authorities disclosed that they have arrested two men who are members of ISIS extremist group, BenarNews reported.
Aminul Islam Beg and Shakib Bin Kamal were arrested separately in the Lalmatia and Uttara suburbs of Dhaka, police announced.
“Aminul is the regional coordinator of the banned Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). His objective was to establish a caliphate as directed by the IS,” Monirul Islam, joint commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan police (Detective Branch), told reporters at his office.
“To fulfil his objective, he was involved in collecting money, recruiting members and assassinating important personalities as a coordinator for the IS,” he added. “Shakib was recruited by Aminul as an IS member.”
Indeed, there has been no final verdict in any militant-related cases since seven top leaders of JMB were hanged in 2007 by an army-backed caretaker government.
“The way law enforcement agencies are publicizing these matters without any concrete evidence is bound to raise serious questions about whether they are militants or there is a motive behind it,” Syed Abul Maksud, a well-known newspaper columnist, told BenarNews.
