Bangladesh bomb plot fallout: Fugitive ISIS regional chief allegedly linked to Yunus advisor
By mid-October last year, when Pakistan’s espionage agency sensed that general elections in Bangladesh scheduled for February 2026 were becoming inevitable – a development that would potentially end the 18-month grip Islamabad had allegedly established over Bangladesh with the active collaboration of at least four influential advisors of the Yunus regime – the so-called “Dhaka Cell” of the ISI reportedly sent an urgent message to Lieutenant General Asim Malik, seeking his “immediate action” to sabotage the electoral process.
Subsequently, one influential advisor of the Yunus regime was invited to visit Pakistan. Although the “official visit” was scheduled for four days – November 4–7 – the trip was extended until November 10, reportedly in violation of established protocols.
According to a highly placed source, on November 8, 2025, the advisor held a two-hour secret meeting with Lieutenant General Asim Malik at an ISI safe house in Islamabad. The meeting was allegedly kept completely confidential, without informing the Bangladesh High Commission or relevant diplomatic officials. During this meeting, the advisor reportedly described the possible “catastrophe” of a “recapture of power by anti-Pakistan elements” and sought “urgent initiatives” from the ISI chief.
There are also claims of another meeting between the same advisor and Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir. During these interactions, the advisor allegedly urged immediate measures to disrupt the February 2026 elections in Bangladesh.
Following these meetings, several members of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), along with covert ISI operatives, allegedly entered Bangladesh. These operatives reportedly established contact with Sheikh Al Amin, later identified as the “regional commander” of the so-called Islamic State Bengal (ISB).
Al Amin was allegedly tasked with organizing a series of terrorist attacks, including suicide operations........
