Abstract

The article compares the biography and terrorist portrait of two terrorists of Bangladesh: Mufti Abdul Hannan, a pioneer leader of the prominent terrorist organization Huji-B, and a lone wolf operative named Faizul Hasan. The study reveals the existence of the multifaceted dynamics of the leader (Mufti) and lone wolf (Faizul) encompassing organizational affiliation, operational independence, radicalization processes, motivations, objectives, and the scale of their operations. The study also finds that the pattern of operation of a terrorist leader (Mufti) and the lone wolf terrorist (Faizul) differed significantly in terms of planning, execution, and level of organizational support. While the terrorist leader planned and coordinated activities within a structured group, the lone wolf operated independently, planning and executing actions without coordination with others. Mufti was capable of planning and executing large-scale operations, utilizing the manpower and resources of the organization while Faizul was engaged in smaller-scale operations due to limited resources and the lack of organizational backing. The most important measure of countering terrorist leaders is intelligence gathering to understand the organizational structure and communication channel. In contrast, enhancing monitoring of online platforms to identify the signs of radicalization and raising awareness are the key measures for countering lone-wolf terrorists.

Abstract

This article analyzes the societal consequences of the news framing of the terrorist attack in the Holy Artisan Café of Bangladesh on 1st July 2016, which killed seventeen foreigners, three Bangladeshis, and two Bangladeshi police officers. Combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, this study investigated 134 news articles regarding the attack on the two prominent newspapers of Bangladesh: The Daily Star and The Prothom Alo, dated from 1 July 2016 to 1 July 2017. From a quantitative comparative framing analysis of these two newspapers, this study found that: 88.81% coverage were generically news articles, the major source (41.04%) of the news was Bangladesh Police, only 11.94% articles interpreted the reasons and political consequences of the terrorist attack, 88.16% news were descriptive, and the contextual framework of 63.43% news were episodic. The qualitative analysis found that the news coverage of the two newspapers regarding the attack had far-reaching societal consequences impacting public perceptions, government policies, security measures, and social dynamics.    [This article has been retracted by the editors due to redundant publication without proper attribution to previous sources or disclosure to the editor--based on COPE Standard]
