A bomb was exploded on October 1 at Awami League (AL) office in Khanjahan Ali area in Khulna city of Khulna District in Khulna Division, reports New Age. No one was hurt in the incident. AL activist Sumon was inside the office but he escaped injury. The bomb went off around 6:00pm, moments after an unknown man placed some bananas packed in a shopping bag. Sumon said the man came with a shopping bag filled with bananas and kept it inside the office and left in the pretext of going to the toilet. After 10 minutes, the packet exploded. Sumon ran away while some chairs were damaged in the blast. Meanwhile, the United States-based SITE Intelligence Group said the Islamic State (IS) claimed the responsibility of a bomb explosion at AL office in Khanjahan Ali area in Khulna city of Khulna District in Khulna Division, reports New Age on October 2.

An alleged jihadi terrorist recruiter identified as Mohamed Ameen was arrested on October 23, reports The Edition. According to the Police, Ameen was suspected of “spreading extremist ideology widely in the Maldives, sending Maldivians to wars outside the country, and leading efforts to recruit people for militant group.” His arrest comes after the anti-terrorism law was revised last month to authorise police to arrest terror suspects and search private property without a court warrant. Mohamed Ameen is also the first Maldivian to be named on U.S. Department of the Treasuries Office of Foreign Affairs Control (OFAC)’s publicised list of terrorists. As Maldives Independent reports, U.S. OFAC identifies Ameen as both a recruiter and key leader for ISIS in Syria, Afghanistan, and the Maldives. He is allegedly known to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K), which is a branch of the IS based in Iraq. In Maldives, Ameen was suspected to be involved in 2007 Sultan Park bombing that injured dozens of tourists.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 24 filed a supplementary chargesheet against alleged Islamic State (IS) militant Riyas Aboobacker alias Riyas A in the Kasaragod case before a Special Court at Ernakulam District, Kerala, reports Times Now. Riyas was arrested on 28 April, 2019 from Palakkad District, Kerala for allegedly conspiring to commit a terrorist act in the state. The probe by NIA revealed that a conspiracy was hatched from mid-2015 onwards by 14 people from Kasaragod District, Kerala to join and support IS in Afghanistan and Syria. They joined the terror outfit around May or July 2016. In April, 2019 the NIA learnt that Aboobacker and his three associates were radicalised through social media platforms by Abdul Rashid Abdulla and Ashfak Majeed. The investigation found out that Aboobacker, from July 2018, had contacted his associates and shared the ideology of the ISIS. In October, 2019 he organised conspiracy meetings at Kochi (Ernakulam District) where he had decided to carry out suicide attacks for furthering the terror outfit's activities in India.

Islamic State (IS), had also tried to get a foothold in India first through Uttar Pradesh in 2016-17, reported Economic Times on. In May 2016 a purported IS video showed jihadists supposedly from India threatening to "return" to "avenge killing of Muslims in India". Two Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, Abu Rashid Ahmad and Mohammad 'Bada' Sajid from Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh District were identified amongst those featured in this video. The release of this video led the then Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to intervene in the matter, announcing that the Centre was taking all steps to tackle the issue. The cause of concern for the Uttar Pradesh Police stemmed from arrest of two UP youths, Shakir and Rizwan, who were in touch with the IS through its social media network. Shakir was arrested by the Delhi Police on May 4, 2016 from Deoband in Saharanapur District for his alleged links with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM) while Rizwan was held by the Mumbai Police from Kushinagar District in Uttar Pradesh on January 23, 2016. In March, 2017, investigators unearthed a suspected IS terror module operating in India. Ghaus Mohammed Khan, an ex-Indian Air Force officer, was the leader of the group planning attacks in the country. The Uttar Pradesh ATS on March 7, 2017 managed to kill a terrorist hiding inside a house in Thakurganj area of Lucknow. Uttar Pradesh ATS Inspector General Aseem Arun revealed that the neutralised terrorist was a member of the IS of Khorasan module. Terror suspects Atif and Danish were arrested in Lucknow by the NIA in connection with the Lucknow terror operation. The NIA then registered a First Information Report (FIR) in the IS- inspired cases in the Madhya Pradesh and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) terror operations.
