Islamist Militant Groups and Crime-Terror Nexus in Bangladesh / Ashraf, A S M Ali; Islam, Mohammed Saiful

Ashraf, A S M Ali	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This paper employs a mixed-method approach to explore the criminal nexus of Islamist militant groups operating in Bangladesh. Data for 98 (14%) of 710 militants profiled in this study suggest various types of criminal involvement. By blending a qualitative social network analysis of top leaders from four militant groups, we find a much better picture of how terrorists pursue the strategies of appropriation, cooperation or transformation in developing criminal nexus. Findings also reveal the organizational level at which terrorists interact with criminals, and the processes through which they use marketplace interactions, prison-based radicalization, and virtual crime-linkage to expand their operations.
