The Indian government will send a report to the Bangladesh government detailing how that country is becoming a haven for Al Qaeda. The report will include an intelligence report that Al Qaeda’s number two, Ayman Al Zawahiri, has been in Bangladesh since September.
According to The Hindustan Times, this move will include sharing the latest information with the US.
The report stated that since June 2001 until September 2002, there have been a steady stream of Al Qaeda leaders either moving into Bangladesh or transiting through Bangladesh to southeast Asia.
In June 2001, 25 Al Qaeda members turned up in Bangladesh to train counterparts from Harkat-ul-Jehad ul-Islami (HUJI).
In February 2002, a large number of Al Qaeda leaders landed in Chittagong, while in April another boatload of them came in from Afghanistan, via Karachi, the report said. (Albawaba.com)
