Militant Leadership Monitor – October 2024

The October 2024 issue of Militant Leadership Monitor starts off with a look at former Jemaah Islamiya (JI) jihadist Yudi Lukito Kurniawan, who was arrested in August 2024. Following the brief, there is an examination of Hafiz Gul Bahadur a Taliban-aligned militant who formerly enjoyed a positive relationship with the Pakistani state, once being called “the good Taliban.” In the next article, the publication considers Shamin Mahfuz, the founder of Jama’atul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya (JAFHS), a prominent jihadist group in Bangladesh. The publication ends with an account of Mohammad Bazzi, Talal Chahine, and Nazem Ahmad, three key individuals who used legal means to launder money to Hezbollah.
