5 ‘militants’ held in Dhaka
2019-08-11
[DailyStar] Police today claimed to have arrested five suspected "self-radicalised" members of what they said a "wolf-pack of Neo-JMB"
.... sometimes called New JMB after the Bangladeshi jihadi group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen. This time it’s linked to ISIS, but still on the Pakistani payroll. Shaykh Abu Ibrahim al-Hanif is the nom de guerre of their big turban, who may be Sajit Debnath aka Muhammad Saifullah Ozaki, the Japanese-Bangladeshi jihadi and former associate professor of Ritsumeikan University. Their big attack was on the Holey Artisan Bakery in 2016...
in Dhaka for allegedly planning to launch attack on law enforcers.

"They were self-radicalised by watching online videos of various bully boy groups, and were planning to launch attacks on law enforcers," said Saiful Islam, deputy commissioner of Counter Terrorism unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).

The arrestees were identified as Md Shiblee Shahjad alias Sadi, Shah M Asadullah Mortuza Kabir alias Ababil, Masrik Ahmed, Md Ashraful Al Amin alias Tarek and SM Tasnim Rifat, he added.

They were arrested yesterday around 1:45pm from Bashundhara Residential Area in the capital, the police official said.
