New evidence shows deep Islamic State role in Bangladesh massacre
 [Dhaka Tribune] Before Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury orchestrated Bangladesh’s worst holy warrior attack, he sought and won approval for it from Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... A Canadian of Bangladeshi origin, he was told by his contact in the holy warrior group, Abu Terek Mohammad Tajuddin Kausar, to target foreigners, according to a senior police official who has seen communications between the two men. Chowdhury, located in Bangladesh at the time, proposed an attack on a Dhaka eatery frequented by expatriates. On July 1, a group of gunnies stormed the Holey Artisan café in the city’s Gulshan neighbourhood, murdering 22 people, most of them foreigners, in an overnight siege that shocked the country. The back-and-forth between Chowdhury, 30, and Kausar, 35, which includes drafts of articles later published in Islamic State magazines, has not been previously reported. Together with attempts by people linked to Islamic State to recruit and fund militancy in the country, the documents show the bully boy organization has built deeper connections with Bangladeshi turbans than was previously known.
