Summary

Islamic State – Bangladesh is a violent extremist group that was formed in August 2014, when a group of unidentified Bangladeshi nationals pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and vowed to organize Bengali Muslims under the leadership of IS Chief Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi. The group's primary goal is uniting the world under one Muslim caliphate. To achieve this, the group encourages followers in Bangladesh to target the country's political leaders, parliamentarians, and members of the security forces and law enforcement, as well as non-Muslims. The group was thought to have been led by a now deceased Canadian-Bangladeshi, who was one of two masterminds of the 2016 attack on the Holey Artisan café in Dhaka resulting in the deaths of twenty two people, mostly foreigners. Members were likely responsible for a February 2020 improvised explosive device explosion at a traffic police box in Chittagong, among other attacks. Investigative reports from 2024 indicate IS-B members in Bangladesh prisons continue to conduct online communication and operations to coordinate terrorist activities and generate funds.
