What are Ansar Al Islam's plans regarding South Asia?

Bangladeshi militant group Ansar Al Islam is working on major plans like using the Rohingyas in militancy; attacking atheists, people of different religions and from foreign missions, even taking control of the Indian subcontinent! Although no attack is imminent, the militant group is planning to recruit and train new members in Indo-Bangladesh border areas, according to the counter terrorism unit of the police.

How active are the militant groups in Bangladesh right now? Can we rely on the law enforcement agencies' narrative that everything is under control? Are we working with other countries to combat the internationally-backed militant organisations?

In Straight from Star Newsroom, The Daily Star reporter Mohammad Jamil Khan speaks with Debjani Shyama about the current situation in Bangladesh, and our law enforcers' capacity to prevent militants.
