Islamic State has made its intentions clear of launching terror attacks in India through its bases in Bangladesh and Pakistan. In an interview with the group's online magazine Dabiq in April, Shaykh Abu Ibrahim Al-Hanif, 'Amir of Khilafah in Bengal' said that once the group manages to build bases in Bangladesh, it will launch raids in east and west of India.

Shaykh asserted that Bengal (IS calls Bangladesh as Bengal) has a strategic location and building a jihadi base there will facilitate IS to launch guerrilla attacks in India.
