- Abstract
In 2023, Bangladesh faced a complex security situation marked by the resurgence of Al-Qaeda-centric threats, as the influence of Islamic State-affiliated groups seemingly declined. The breakaway factions from established militant groups actively recruited and trained members for surprise attacks, with a specific focus on key installations like prisons. At the same time, extremist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir were also active in major cities. At any rate, Bangladeshi law enforcement agencies undermined militant groups' ability to coordinate attacks through arrests and timely identification of emerging threats. As a result, Bangladesh's ranking in the 2023 Global Terrorism Index improved. Though Bangladesh has made progress in addressing security threats, sustained vigilance and counter terrorism efforts remain essential.
