[OneIndia] A special NIA court here on Friday sentenced three JMB Lions of Islam to life imprisonment and tossed in the clink
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
five others for 10 years in connection with a blast at the Bodh Gaya temple complex in 2018, an official said.

The eight 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 and probably defunct 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.

...nowadays it appears to be connected to Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent...

Lions of Islam were convicted on December 10, the official said. Paigambar Sheikh, Ahmad Ali, Nur Alam Momin have been awarded life imprisonment, while Adil Sheikh, Dilwar Hossain, Abdul Karim, Mustafizur Rahman and Arif Hussain have been awarded 10 years rigorous imprisonment, the NIA official said.

The case was registered in February 2018 regarding planting of three IEDs in and around the Bodh Gaya temple complex premises, the official said. After investigation, a charge sheet was filed against three accused in September 2018.

A supplementary charge sheet against the remaining six accused was filed in January 2019, the NIA official said. The official added that further trial against one remaining charge-sheeted accused continues.
