Dhaka, August 29, 2021: The DMP's Counter Terrorism Unit (CTTC) has arrested a female member of the country's first banned militant group Ansar Al Islam.

Her name is Zobaida Siddique Nabila. He was a high school examinee. He was arrested on August 28 from Badda area of ​​the capital. CTTC is currently interrogating him on remand.

The CTTC says no other female militants have been arrested before. Nabila is the first trained female militant. Although female members of other militant groups were arrested, Nabila was not as trained. On behalf of Ansar al-Islam, Nabila was in charge of the media, that is, the promotion of militancy. He had contacts with the military branch. He was ready to wage jihad at any time in the country and abroad.

On Sunday (August 29) at noon in the media center of the DMP CTTC, the company's chief additional commissioner. Asaduzzaman gave this information.

"In early 2020, Nabila opened a fake Facebook account under a pseudonym, hiding her name," he said. At one point, Ansar al-Islam's official Facebook page, Titumir Media, was found on Facebook.

He then joined this page to gain knowledge about the various extremist video and audio articles of Ansar al-Islam and to nurture their ideology. In this context, contact was established with the admin of his 'Titumir Media' page.

Later, the admin of that page sent him a link to the official website of Ansar al-Islam containing extremist jihadi content.

The woman then entered all the official websites of Ansar al-Islam and strictly adhered to their extremist ideology. Nabila chose online media platform to spread their ideology widely with everyone. Following this, he opened multiple accounts under various pseudonyms on Facebook, Telegram and online platforms called 'Iyaratdharitb'.

Asked what was the role of Nabila's family in her arrest for her involvement in a banned organization, Asaduzzaman said, "The family tried to keep her away from militancy. But could not. With the consent of the family, he went out to visit a relative's house. '
