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 two leaders of its student affiliate Islami Chhatra Shibir ... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh... were killed in separate incidents of "shootouts" with the police in Jessore, Rajshahi and Comilla yesterday. Shahbuddin Mufid, 22, information secretary of Shibir's Rajshahi University unit, was killed when Shibir men launched a crude kaboom on a police patrol car, the police claimed.
