Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

In a video released on September 3, 2014, Al Qaida (AQ) leader Ayman al-Zawahiri announced the creation of a new AQ affiliated group, AQIS. Al-Zawahiri named Asim Umar as leader of AQIS and Usama Mahmoud as spokesman. Since the announcement of its creation, AQIS has claimed responsibility for the September, 2014 attempt to hijack Pakistan Naval Ship Zulfiqar; the October, 2015 attacks on two publishers in Dhaka, Bangladesh; and several assassinations. In October 2019, there were reports that six AQIS militants had arrived in Karachi from Afghanistan with plans to reactivate their sleeper cell to carry out terrorist attacks. AQIS continued to propagate for violent jihad against Indian interests worldwide and against Indian government and military personnel. On October 2023, AQIS published a statement that praised the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, urging jihadists to kill citizens of Israel’s Western allies.
