Missing brothers reappear on Facebook as ‘IS followers’
2016-09-15
[Dhaka Tribune] Wanted by police for bully boy ties, two brothers missing since December last year have posted their photo on Facebook with an 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
flag and guns

Ibrahim Hasan Khan, a high school graduate from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and resident of Bashundhara area in Dhaka, posted the photo as his profile picture around 10pm Wednesday. He is the one sitting in the middle wearing black shades.

On his right is his brother Junayed Hasan Khan. The one on Ibrahim’s other side could not be identified immediately.

All clad in black, the photo is reminiscent of the Gulshan attackers and the turbans killed in Kallyanpur raid who claimed themselves as IS supporters, except that the three here are holding glasses, apparently of beverage, instead of guns.

In the photo, a rifle is seen kept beside the chair of Ibrahim, who appears to be the leader of the group, while another rifle, two pistols, two magazines of ammunition and a mobile phone rest on the table in front of them.

The photo, however, bears no caption or location details.

The siblings came into limelight after the horrific July 1 Gulshan attack in which 23 people including 17 foreigners were killed by five turbans posing as IS supporters. The brothers’ names appeared on the elite force’s list of missing youths with suspected bully boy links.

Police later said they were looking for the two and 10 others, all accomplices of Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury, the Gulshan attack criminal mastermind killed in a raid in Narayanganj on August 27 this year.

Ibrahim and Junayed’s father Munir Hasan Khan is an expatriate in Saudi Arabia. According to his Facebook profile, Munir Hasan works at Al Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh.

Ibrahim studied at Bangladesh International School in Saudi Arabia. Their flat in Bashundhara residential area remains vacant as according to media reports the family has been living abroad for the last one year.

Before posting this photo, Ibrahim remained inactive on the Facebook for more than a year. His last public post on the social media was on July 13, 2015.
