Rahmani is convicted for abetting the murder of a blogger-activist, and a vocal supporter of the terror outfit Al-Qaeda and its offshoot Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) He is also one of the several high-profile prisoners from the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League era either released or cleared of all charges.

Early members of ABT were inspired by Islamist preacher Anwar al-Awlaki , an Al-Qaeda leader killed in Yemen in 2011 . The outfit started recruiting members, mostly young students, starting 2012 . ABT members were allegedly more tech savvy and used technology to propagate jihadist ideology and publish training material to plan and guide young members for terror attacks.
