Praying Bengali-Muslim-Talibans at Bangladeshi Border. |
Over two dozen high-definition images
reportedly published in an Urdu-language Internet forum suggest the Taliban has
successfully recruited Rohingya Muslims, Bangladeshis, and Indonesian nationals
and are training them in an undisclosed camp in Myanmar, a report by Asian News
International (ANI) says.
The images that come with Urdu captions
were posted on the ‘Bab-e-Islam Jihadi Internet Forum’ and sourced from a
Facebook account on July 12, according to a leading Washington-based research
institute, Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM) of the Middle East Media
Research Institute (MEMRI).
The institute specialises in
translating and monitoring radical Islamist media materials and networks
operating in local languages through the social media. The Bab-e-Islam Internet Forum images
show the outfit engaged in combat training in Burma, but the camp’s exact
location is not mentioned.
A photograph of one of the trainees
offering prayers has appeared in the website, Arrahmah.com. Other pictures
reportedly show men with blurred faces, presumably high-ranking Taliban
commanders, conducting the training.

JTTM has translated an accompanying
photo caption into Urdu as saying, “This new jihadi force has entered Burma,
Myanmar, under the leadership of Commander Abu Sufiya and Abu Arif.”
The caption also claimed that these recruits recently destroyed two
Burmese military combat vehicles, killing 17 soldiers. It also claims the
recruits beheaded three Buddhists — a priest among them — who, it says, were
responsible for slaying Muslims.
Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims have made
international headlines over the past year as they suffered communal attacks
inflicted by the country’s majority Buddhists. Hundreds of ethnic Rohingya
Muslims were butchered and over thousands have been displaced.
The images show around 100 to 200
individuals in military fatigues taking part in a shooting practice. The
Washington-based research institute says the Urdu version of the Ansarullah
jihadi forum in Arabic mainly functions via the Bab-e-Islam forum.
