Bangladesh strongly rejected U.S. charges this week that al-Qaeda cells had committed attacks on the South Asian nation, although the U.S. State Department had documented such incidents in its annual reports on terrorism around the world.
In a talk in Washington on Tuesday on al-Qaeda’s “new home base in Iran,” U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that if Iran were to give the terror group support and access to satellite networks, it could “increase turmoil in places like Bangladesh, where al-Qaeda cells have carried out attacks.”
Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry issued a sharp rebuttal the following day.
The NDAA created new programs for combating white supremacy and domestic terrorism, but it omits two important proposals included in earlier versions of the bill. The Biden administration should consider adopting both into its security strategy.

Israel has confiscated $4 million in funds transferred from Iran to the Hamas terrorist organization, the Ministry of Defense announced Tuesday.
Acting on the recommendation of the National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing, Defense Minister Benny Gantz signed the order seizing the funds.
The money was intended for the development of Hamas’ terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, including the production of weapons and payment for the organization’s operatives, and was sent by the Iranian government, the Ministry of Defense said.
