In footage, Khalimov, who went missing in early May, is seen dressed in black and holding a gun. “Listen, you dogs, if only you knew how many boys, our brothers are here, waiting and yearning to return to Tajikistan to re-establish sharia law there,” he said.

“We are coming to you, God willing, we are coming to you with slaughter,” he added.
