Bangladesh-born Briton calls for jihad

Update : 24 Jun 2014, 02:36 PM

A Bangladesh-born youth has been found calling the British Muslims to join jihad, in a recruitment video for the Islamic militant group, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Raqib, the Bangladesh-born youth, lived at Aberdeen in UK.

BBC revealed the youth's identity in a report in the early hours of Tuesday. The 13-minute video surfaced on Friday.

Quoting an acquaintance, the BBC report said Raqib had moved to the UK from Sylhet of Bangladesh some years ago.

The acquaintance said he had not seen Raqib for the past couple of years and believed that his family had moved to Leicester.

The footage posted by accounts linked to ISIS, emerged after militants led by ISIS made rapid advances through Iraq in recent weeks. The video shows them urging other British Muslims to join their war.

Raqib is identified in the video as "Brother Abu Bara' al Hindi".

In the video, he says: “Are you willing to sacrifice the fat job you've got, the big car you've got, the family you have?”

“Are you willing to sacrifice this for the sake of Allah? Definitely! If you sacrifice something for Allah, Allah will give you 700 times more than this.”

Two of the six fighters shown in the film urging Muslims to join a holy war have been identified as, Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan from Cardiff.

The men are believed to be among 500 Britons fighting in the conflict in Syria.
