| [Bangla Daily Star] Suspected myrmidon leader Muhammad Jasimuddin Rahmani, inspired by Anwar al-Awlaki ... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and UndieboomerUmar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list... , "spiritual leader" of al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula, has been building radical Islamist network in the country at least for the last five years, Sherlocks say. The Sherlocks, who have been following his speeches and activities since 2007-08, found that Jasimuddin was not a follower of al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden ... who doesn't live anywhere anymore... Rather, he preferred to follow Awlaki, a US-born Yemeni who was killed in Yemen in an American drone attack on September 30, 2011.
But he and his followers used to share their views on a website named "Ansarulla Bangla Team". Investigators consider them as members of Ansarulla group. They found that the hosting server of this website was in Pakistain. A source said the Sherlocks do not have a clear picture of the total strength of this group in the country. But they have learnt that there are 200 to 300 people who are active with the website and who believe it is their duty as Mohammedans to kill if someone talks or works against Allah, Koran, Hadith and the Prophet. "They believe it is the duty of the state to take action against atheists or those who talk against the Koran, Hadith or Prophet," said an investigator on condition of anonymity. "They also believe the government does not follow Islamic principles, so it is their duty as citizens to kill them [those who are anti-Islam]." | |
