| [Dhaka Tribune] Banned bully boy outfit JMB was reportedly planning to attack the president and the prime minister along with other VIPs in a bid to draw the attention of the international bully boy organization Islamic State (IS) and jump-start its activities in Bangladesh. To implement their plan, the Jama'atul Mujahedin Bangladesh holy warriors had already gathered large amounts of explosives and were reportedly waiting for an opportune moment to carry out the attacks. The plans came to light after detectives of Dhaka Metropolitan Police held seven JMB members, including the outfit's acting chief, from Ashulia Landing Station area in the early hours of yesterday. Ten kilograms of explosive gel, four brass idols, books and leaflets preaching militancy were also recovered from their possession. |
