[Dhaka Tribune] Members of 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 independent branch 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...
and several outlawed Islamist bad boy groups have built up a strong base in the Chittagong Hill Tracts to carry out massive attacks on the indigenous peoples and their establishments.
Intelligence agencies and law enforcement agency sources have said that they already foiled some plans, recovered arms and bombs meant for conducting the attacks, and kept under watch at least 32 websites instigating communal attacks.

These groups are now mobilising the anti-government quarters in the three hill districts and sharing information about the possible attacks among themselves through social media sites including Facebook, Twitter and blogs.
The government's Cyber Crime Unit officials found the information monitoring online activities of the religious Lion of Islams. The unit has also informed the law enforcement and intelligence agencies about their findings and requested them to take necessary measures.
The information came at a time when several law enforcement agencies together with BGB and army personnel have been conducting joint drives against Lions of Islam in the CHT.
Apart from Jamaat, the other outlawed bad boy groups involved with the network are Hizbut Tahrir
...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate...
, 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.
and Ansarullah Bangla Team. Sources said that these groups had established connection with some Myanmar-based terrorist organizations including the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO).
Based on the findings of the Cyber Crime Unit, the law enforcers conducted a drive at the house of Jamaat leader Tofail Ahmed, also chairman of Naikkhyangchhari upazila, and recovered three shotguns. Tofail allegedly criminal masterminded the 2013 Ramu attacks when dozens of Buddhist temples, monasteries and houses were attacked based on false propaganda.
The law enforcers have also found the involvement of two former politicians with these sabotage plans and would take legal action once the allegations are proven during investigation. In the face of strict surveillance, two top leaders of the network fled the country recently, officials said.
"We have tracked down 32 websites where the Lions of Islam share their information among the members. Analysing the sites and decoding some messages, we have found some sensational information including sabotage plans," said Tanvir Hassan Zoha, director of Insight Bangladesh Foundation and focal person of the ICT Ministry's Cyber Security Programme.
Without elaborating further, Zoha said that they were very close to busting a huge network of Lions of Islam working in the CHT region.
Dhaka Tribune has learnt about some of the websites currently under close monitoring. They are Al-Hayat Media Centre, Voice of Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
and Al-Amin's blog. The Lions of Islam are also using some Facebook pages including Hamza, Ansar Ul Islam, At-Tamkin Media and Daowatul Islam; and profiles that include Moumachi Moumachi, Sadapata and Jihadi Jeen.
When contacted, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said that certain quarters, who had been involved in the killing of foreigners and attacks at some places last year to embarrass the government, were now working on a new plan in the CHT.
"They have been found sharing information regarding the plans through online activities and some closed groups. Our officials are on alert to bring the criminals to book," the minister added.
