A Bangladesh-born British citizen has been put on a list of people facing sanctions from the UK treasury for “terrorism or terror financing”. Ruhul Amin alias Abdul Rakib Amin or Abu Bara Al Hindi moved to Aberdeen in Scotland from Moulvibazar district when he was a young. He was brought up in Aberdeen and went to primary and secondary school there, British media reported quoting a former acquaint
ance. The former acquaintance also said he had not seen Ruhul for the past couple of years and believed that his family had moved to Leicester. Ruhul, who has a British passport, is now believed to be in Iraq and he will be arrested when enters the UK, an official statement in London said. Dhaka has yet to issue a statement relating to Ruhul Amin. Contacted by The Daily Star yesterday, the Moulvibazar police chief said he had no knowledge about this. Last month, a Bangladesh-born US citizen, Rahatul Ashikim Khan, was arrested in the US on charges of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. Ruhul was recently seen in a recruitment video for the militant group Isis, BBC reported. He is said to be the third Briton in the video along with 20-year-olds Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan, who are both from Cardiff. The clip shows the trio armed with AK-47 rifles in Syria preaching terror and trying to promote jihad to Muslim worshippers back in the UK. They are believed to be among 500 Britons fighting in the conflict in Syria, according to media reports. Ruhul was identified as "Brother Abu Bara' al Hindi" in the video, which called for UK Muslims to join Isis in Iraq. He insists joining the group will cure the stress and “depression” of living in the West, writes Daily Mirror. He claims to be British and says in an English accent: “Are you willing to sacrifice the 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? "Then if you sacrifice something for Allah, Allah will give you 700 times more than this.” The video, “There is No Life without Jihad”, was posted on YouTube by the Isis Al Hayat Media Centre after militants led by Isis made rapid advances through Iraq in recent weeks.
