“Questions About Alleged Terrorist’s Bangladesh Links”
by Daniel E. Rogell • Oct 22, 2012 at 3:11 pm
SNIPPET: “A Bangladeshi tabloid has speculated about links between alleged Federal Reserve Bank bomb plotter Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis and radicals at a national university.”
SNIPPET: “HuT advocates the overthrow of Western economic and political systems and the reestablishment of the Islamic super state, the Caliphate. Jamaat-e-Islami activists have been affiliated with terrorists, although the group generally works within the local political system to achieve a similar goal. But its leaders in Bangladesh have recently been indicted for participating in war crimes during the nation’s war for independence.”
SNIPPET: “The quotes may also shed some light on prosecutor Loretta Lynch’s statement that Nafis arrived in United States “already radicalized,” as well as comments by the would-be terrorist.”
SNIPPET: “Both HuT and Jamaat-e-Islami are active in the United States, with HuT maintaining a branch here.”

“Fed plot suspect expected to plead guilty in NYC”

NEW YORK —
SNIPPET: “A plea hearing in federal court in Brooklyn was scheduled Thursday for Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis. He was charged in October after an FBI sting with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaida. Investigators said in court papers that he came to the U.S. bent on jihad and worked out the specifics of a plot when he arrived.
Investigators said Nafis contacted a government informant, who then went to federal authorities.”
