| [Dhaka Tribune] Police had sensed a possible attack on the Shia Muslims living in several villages in Bogra's Shibganj upazila after the Hussaini Dalan attack and asked them to take special security measures. Police officials told the Dhaka Tribune on Sunday that they had repeatedly asked the Shias to arrange security at their mosques, especially Al Mostafa Jame Mosque in Haripur village where three youths launched a gun attack on November 26. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... the Shia community, which has been living in harmony with others for decades, thought they had no enemy. They were proud of the religious harmony that prevailed in the area since long despite having differences with the Sunnis in terms of rituals. Muezzin Mozammel Hossain, 70, died and three other devotees were maimed in the attack carried out by three unidentified youths. Officials of the Police Bureau of Investigation have collected blood and other evidence from the spot. They also found eight bullet shells of a 0.22-bore revolver. Law enforcers and Shia community leaders suspect that members of the banned bully boy group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh The JMB is said to be the youth front of Al Mujahideen, the parent organization that began working toward establishing Bangladesh as an Islamic state in the mid 1990s which remains obscure even today. Other organizations, such as Jama'atul Jihad, JMB, Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI), Hizbut Tawhid, Tawhidi Janata, Islami Jubo Shangha, Islami Shangha, Al Falah A'am Unnayan Shanstha and Shahadat-e al Hiqma are believed to be part of the Al Mujahideen network. The JMB at its peak was reported to contain at least 100,000 members, and an alleged 2,000-man suicide brigade, few of whom actually exploded. JMB allegedly received financial assistance from individual donors in Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Libya. Reports have claimed that funding of JMB by international NGOs like Kuwait based Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage (RIHS) and Doulatul Kuwait, Saudi Arabia based Al Haramaine Islamic Institute and Rabita Al Alam Al Islami, Qatar Charitable Society and UAE-based Al Fuzaira and Khairul Ansar Al Khairia. The top leadership of JMB was captured in 2005 and hung in 2007, which pretty much shot their bolt. (JMB) or some radical Islamists in Qawmi madrasas might have conducted the attack on Thursday. The police are now interrogating three suspects in the case. One of the trio is a former JMB organiser while another is the principal of a local Qawmi madrasa. One of the three remanded on Saturday, Anwar Hossain, 48, is a former JMB member. Police said he had been tossed in the clink Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! earlier in 2010 and came out two years later on bail. Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac? Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features. If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng,he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!... police yesterday formed a five-strong probe body led by Additional Superintendent of Police Arifur Rahman Mandal. Sources said two members of the Special Branch also went to Bogra to assist in the case. The shooting incident took place one month after the kaboom at Hussaini Dalan that left two people dead and several others injured. Detectives have found the involvement of JMB men in the attack. Police said they had alerted the Shia leaders about a possible attack. Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... grabbed credit for the Bogra attack, but the government brushed aside the claim, saying local Lions of Islam backed by Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. 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... conducted the gun attack. |
