The much-talked about al-Qaeda audio clip on Bangladesh was uploaded from Arizona state of the United States, says the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulator Commission (BTRC).
A top official of BTRC public relations department wishing anonymity told this to the Dhaka Tribune on Monday evening.
The telecom regulator also asked the International Internet Gateway (IIG) operators to monitor the al-Qaeda audio clip.
The audio message, supposedly released by al-Qaeda, called Bangladeshi Muslims to join in a jihad against the western countries.
The website named “Jihadology” that posted an audio tape of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri on Bangladesh is hosted at a domain located in the US.
An IT expert after a quick look at the technical information of the website said “Jihadology” had been created on August 16, 2010, but came into operation in September the same year.
The “Jihadology” website at the top of the page said the video message titled “Bangladesh: A Massacre behind a Wall of Silence” was presented by “As-Sahab Media.”
The government has blocked the website “jihadology.net” in Bangladesh early on Sunday.
