Police are saying that reports about the Islamic State’s link to the recent murders of foreigners are nothing but “grey propaganda” from a former Mossad official, who now heads the group that made the alleged IS link claims.
In a press statement, Police Headquarters yesterday said reports of IS claiming responsibility for the murders were “grey propaganda” by Rita Katz, the co-founder of Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Intelligence Group, a private firm based in Washington DC
During an attempt to verify the claim by SITE, Bangladeshi detectives said they found that Katz previously worked for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. In the past, Katz – the executive director of SITE group – also worked for the FBI, according to the police statement.
Bangladeshi intelligence officials pointed out that none of the seven known websites that officially represent the militant outfit IS had claimed responsibility for the murders.
