An IT manager at a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Co was one of two men arrested in Bangladesh on suspicion of planning to fight for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), police and company sources said on Monday.
The pair were detained during a raid in the capital Dhaka on Sunday night, said Sheikh Nazmul Alam, a senior official of the police detective branch.
One man, Aminul Islam, was the information technology head of a multinational company, and worked as a regional coordinator for ISIS, while the other, Sakib Bin Kamal, was a teacher at a school in Dhaka, he added.
A police official and a company source told Reuters that Islam worked at International Beverages Private Ltd, a Coca-Cola unit. The company source, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, confirmed the arrested man was the head of IT, and said he had been absent from work for several days. In a statement, the subsidiary said it was aware of media reports that the employee, whom it named as Aminul Islam Baig, had been arrested. “We will fully cooperate with the law enforcement agencies as required,” it said. Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Police official Alam said the suspects had confessed to having persuaded at least 25 students to join ISIS, the militant group that has captured large parts of Syria and Iraq.

Today, they are recruiting students to join jihad. Tomorrow, they’re poisoning Coca-Cola. That could happen, and one day, it might. And not in Bangladesh, but here.
If you think these things can’t happen here, you are in dreamland and need to wake up.
“Id bery much like to buy the world a coke......ALLIHU ACKBAR”
Pretty sure Coca-Cola is already poison.

Typical fun-loving moozlums. They have a chance to murder many innocents...and they took the chance.
Love Indian food.
Will not partake in local Islamic Indian resturaunt. Having the staff, all wearing Palistinan scarves all staring at us from the bar was unnerving. The food wasn’t that good.
I choose predator drone strikes.
Chances are its a Paki restaurant. Most Indian restaurants are owned by Sikhs or Hindus.
This is frequent - few Paki and Bangladesh owners like to advertise their cuisine as being from B’desh or Pakistan - too exotic (and unhygienic).
