Banned Islamic extremist group Jamayetul Mujahideen is linked to a wave of bombings across Bangladesh that killed two people and injured 100, police said Thursday. âOne of them has confessed that he was Jamayetul Mujahideenâs local leader and that he carried out an attack here,â said Abdur Rahim, superintendent of police in Satkhira district, where two people were detained. âWe are still questioning both men to get an idea about this organisation,â Rahim said. The home ministry said leaflets bearing the name of Jamayetul Mujahideen were found at all the blast scenes.Jamayetul Mujahideen and another hardline group, Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh, were banned in February for alleged links to a series of bombings of non-governmental groups, religious shrines and other targets. Bangladesh security forces arrested almost 90 people in connection with a wave of simultaneous bombings that police said Thursday were linked to a banned group of Muslim extremists. Around 350 small homemade bombs exploded on Wednesday within an hour of each other in almost every town or district across the country, killing two people and injuring more than 100.
