| [Dhaka Tribune] Members of banned krazed killer outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh The JMB is said to be the youth front of Al Mujahideen, the parent organization that began working toward establishing Bangladesh as an Islamic state in the mid 1990s which remains obscure even today.

The JMB at its peak was reported to contain at least 100,000 members, and an alleged 2,000-man suicide brigade, few of whom actually exploded.

Under the system, which the police are calling the "cut-out" strategy, JMB activists are kept in the dark about the identities of top leaders of the outfit as they blindly carry out orders that they consider part of their "religious duty."
