New York Fed bomb plot: how Quazi Ahsan Nufis became radicalised Between March 26 and October 15 2011 he answered a series of questions about himself in which he revealed his love of the children's cartoon series Swat Cats, his passion for Monopoly and admiration for M.A Mohit, the mountaineer who became Bangladesh's first to scale Mount Everest in 2011. He confesses prawns are his favourite dish, enjoys listening to the American rapper Eminem, and proclaims his former university North South as Bangladesh's best private college. The first signs of rebellions emerge in early July last year when he answers a question on how he feels about an opposition-led strike in the capital Dhaka:"------- excellent," he replies. Between January 24 and October 3rd this year, however, after his arrival in the United States and as he set out to make contact with fellow Muslim jihadis in New York, he answered another series of questions in which he hailed the prophet Mohammed as "the greatest man ever" and predicted that the "future of Bangladesh" would be in a "Khalifa" - an Islamic caliphate under Sharia law. By that time, he did still, however, have a favourite Star Wars character - the Sith lord. From August 2nd to September, as his terror plan took shape, he posted a series of Islamic photographs and slogans proclaiming "Islam is not just a word, Islam is a way of life" and that the "Quran breaks hard hearts and heals broken hearts." On September 20th, he updated his cover photograph to a picture of Muslims performing their Haj rituals at the Kabaa at Mecca with the prayer:"Oh my Lord, I am here at Your service, here I am." By then he had also changed his personal information to include his motto: "Dis world worth nothing. tryin to save everything for da hereafter" and his favourite quote: "It is You (Allah) we worship and You (Allah) we ask for help. (Lord), guide us to the right path. Relatives at his family home in northern Dhaka on Thursday said they could not account for his apparently sudden radicalisation and that they had discussed potential brides for him only this week. We heard the news this morning. Everyone is crying here," his brother-in-law, who gave only his first name, Arik, told the news agency AFP. Nafis never showed any form of radicalisation when he was in Bangladesh. "He said prayers five times a day and used to read the holy Koran every day," he added. One possible clue lies in his expulsion from North South University in Bangladesh earlier this year after he performed poorly in examinations. A spokesman for the university told The Daily Telegraph he had studied in the electronic and telecommunications department but had been absent since December 2011. He had come from a good family, his father was a banker, Kazi Ahsa Nullah, and he had studied at Dhaka's respected Ideal school. In his exams then he got 1.95 CBA [out of a possible 5]. If any student got 2 or below CBA he is not allowed to study here, due to poor result, we have dismissed him. The minimum requirement was 2.5. He completed seven to eight semesters so that means he was here for almost 2 and half years," he said. The university gave him three months to improve but did not hear from him again and expelled him last month. The university did not know he had moved to an American university.
