Meanwhile, former lance naik of Army Harunur Rashid, who was arrested from Manipuripara in the city on Tuesday on charge of training JMB cadres in using sophisticated arms, confessed to his link to the August 17 bombings and disclosed the names of some VIPs including an influential leader of an Islamist party, he added. On the other hand, DB police arrested two more suspected JMB leaders including a district level leader of the outlawed party from Gazipur yesterday for their suspected involvement in the August 17 countrywide serial bombings in which two people were killed and more than 200 injured. The arrested are Abdur Rahman alias Masud (18) and Nurul Islam alias Ujjal alias Jubair. Both of them confessed to their links to the August 17 bombings and gave vital information about the terror attacks. It is learnt that there are five tiers in the organizational structure of JMB. The five tires from lower level are Sathi or Sudhi, Gaiyer Ahsar, Ahsar or Ameer, Majlish-e-Sura and Shaikh. The Sathis or Sudhis are selected from comparatively young aged people and devotees. Those who are in charge of districts are called Gaiyre Ahsar and the divisional level leaders are called Ahsar. The Majlish-e-Sura is the second tier of JMB comprising seven leaders including Bangla Bhai. The seven members have veto powers. If one of the seven members uses his veto power against any particular decision, the matter is rejected by the organization. The seven members of Majlish-e-Sura played a key role in the August 17 bomb blasts. The supremo of JMB is called Shaikh and Shaikh Abdur Rahman is the chief its supreme body. | |
