New statement from Anṣār Allah Bangla Team: "Denial of Any Connection to So Called "Global Hitlist" Attributed to Us"

CQGs34RWIAA_44J
Recently the hired media published a so-called “global hitlist of writers and bloggers” attributed to Ansarullah Bangla Team.
Do they not tire of these lies?
As we previously announced, and reiterate once again, the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) is the only official outlet for Ansarullah Bangla Team releases.
Hence, any statement, press release, or article attributed to Ansarullah Bangla Team that is not published through the GIMF is not authentic and is considered fake.

Again we ask the media to maintain their professionalism and to verify the source of news and investigate before reporting fake statements and deluding the public.
As for the targets, they know who they are.
Wait, for we too are waiting with you.

We repeat, the only authorized source for releases from Ansarullah Bangla Team is the GIMF though its official accounts on al-Fida’a, Shamoukh al-Islam, and Twitter


But honour belongs to Allah and His Messenger, and to the Believers; but the Hypocrites know not.
