Jamaat, militants planning attacks in CHT
[Dhaka Tribune] Members of Jamaat-e-Islami... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... and several outlawed Islamist bad boy groups have built up a strong base in the Chittagong Hill Tracts to carry out massive attacks on the indigenous peoples and their establishments. Intelligence agencies and law enforcement agency sources have said that they already foiled some plans, recovered arms and bombs meant for conducting the attacks, and kept under watch at least 32 websites instigating communal attacks.
