RAB arrests two suspected JMB members in Dhaka
2019-10-31
[Dhaka Tribune] Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested two suspected members of banned holy warrior outfit 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 and probably defunct 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).

They were arrested from Mirpur's Rupnagar area of Dhaka early Wednesday.
“Stick ‘em up, boys, and come quietly, or we shall be forced to have an encounter.”
“Aieee! Not an encounter! We’ll come quietly, we will. Aieee.”
“Aieee! Quietly, yes. Aieeeeee!”
The arrestees are Shahjalal, 30, and Shamim, 28, from Barisal and Munshiganj.

RAB legal and media wing Senior Assistant Director Mizanur Rahman Bhuiyan said: "They are active members of JMB."

"We are questioning them and will soon take legal action."
“Sergeant Rafiq, send out for tea and biscuits, and a barrel of #4 mustache wax. It’s going to br a long night.”
RAB 4 Senior ASP Sajedul Islam Sajal said: "They were on their way to Cox’s Bazar to recruit Rohingyas for JMB."
...illegals doing the jobs good bad Bangladeshis won’t do...
"Earlier, they managed to include some Rohingyas in their group."
This explains the poor quality of miscreants they’ve been seeing recently. You get what you pay for, I always say.
However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
the ASP did not reveal the name of Rohingyas, allegedly involved with JMB.
Yup. They vanished as if they had never been. Shipman could have told you.
RAB also recovered arms,
...the hands were stored elsewhere...
bully boy books and leaflets from their possession.

#2  I'm guessing Rohingyas are easy to recruit for nefarious purposes.

#1  *Happy sigh* I do love marking up RAB stories. They are so delightfully formulaic, though less so than in the early days.
