"They usually invite people to namaz and later indoctrinate them to resort to the path of jihad on Facebook. They are using Facebook to communicate among themselves, to collect members and seek financial help." He said the turban group was planning to kill a pir (religious preacher) in Dhaka. Monirul also said they are the followers of al-Qaeda and used the same styles like banned turban 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. Other organizations, such as Jama'atul Jihad, JMB, Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI), Hizbut Tawhid, Tawhidi Janata, Islami Jubo Shangha, Islami Shangha, Al Falah A'am Unnayan Shanstha and Shahadat-e al Hiqma are believed to be part of the Al Mujahideen network. 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. JMB allegedly received financial assistance from individual donors in Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Libya. Reports have claimed that funding of JMB by international NGOs like Kuwait based Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage (RIHS) and Doulatul Kuwait, Saudi Arabia based Al Haramaine Islamic Institute and Rabita Al Alam Al Islami, Qatar Charitable Society and UAE-based Al Fuzaira and Khairul Ansar Al Khairia. The top leadership of JMB was captured in 2005 and hung in 2007, which pretty much shot their bolt. (JMB) for criminal activities. The arrestees are involved in different professions. They spend a portion of their salary on living and the rest is spent on turban work. Their big leader, Masum has already been arrested. The arrestees were produced before the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate court with a 10-day remand prayer. The court, however, granted a six-day remand for each of them. |
