‘New JMB initiated umbrella group’
[Dhaka Tribune] To materialise their dream of establishing a Shariah-based state in Bangladesh, the so-called New JMB highups wanted to strengthen the organization by unifying other murderous Moslem groups under a single umbrella.

Efforts taken to this end separately by New JMB ameer Abu Ibrahim al-Hanif and operations chief Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury did not work, but some members of the local murderous Moslem outfits did join the new group, according to police’s elite force Rapid Action Battalion.

After coming to Bangladesh in 2013, Canadian citizen Tamim Chowdhury, who co-ordinated the July 1 Dhaka attack, tried to form a platform of murderous Moslems named Junud Al Tawhid. At one point, he met Hanif and they agreed to work together, RAB claims.

Later Hanif planned to float a new platform with members of the banned murderous Moslem outfits including the main Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Ansarullah Bangla Team (now Ansar Al Islam), Hizbut Tahrir
...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate...
and HuJI
Founded in 1984 by Fazlur Rehman Khalil and Qari Saifullah Aktar. The Bangla branch was established in 1992 with assistance from Osama bin Laden. Recruits come mostly from Deobandi madrassahs. HuJI and Fazlur Rehman Khalil are signators of bin Laden's declaration of war on the west.
B as their aim is the same. Hanif also engaged his associates to work on the matter.

But they did not succeed, RAB says, because they all have different ideologies and their activities are also different.

The elite force was confirmed about the developments from documents seized at Hanif’s house in Ashulia area of Savar after the October 8 raid.

Hanif, known as Abdur Rahman and Sarwar Jahan, died at a hospital on that day. He was injured after jumping off a five-storey building to evade arrest and held by the RAB personnel. RAB claims he was a key financier of the New JMB which got financial support from local and foreign sources.

On the other hand, Tamim alias Abu Dujanah ‐ previously thought to be the chief of New JMB ‐ and two of his associates were killed in a raid by counter-terrorism members in Narayanganj on August 27.

According to detectives, the New JMB ‐ an affiliate of Syria-based terrorist outfit 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

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...

RAB now claims that the strength of New JMB has already waned after the death and arrest of most of its leaders and members.

Detectives earlier said that the chiefs and top leaders of JMB, Ansarullah, HuJIB and Hizbut Tahrir at a meeting in Kashimpur jail in late 2014 had agreed to work together. Similar move was reported from Chittagong during the same time.

Such a move was made at a time when different murderous Moslem groups were carrying out small sclae attacks separately and in a scattered way.

It was also learnt from the holy warriors incarcerated

in the last couple of years that they had been planning to free their leaders from jail through legal processes, and if needed, by attacking on police vans when the top leaders are taken to courts for case proceedings.

On the other hand, RAB’s claim that Tamim was behind the formation of murderous Moslem platform Junud Al Tawhid sheds lights on the long preparation of the jihadists for their operations in Bangladesh.

Since September last year, New JMB carried out at least 26 attacks killing 45 people and injuring around 180 others. Most of the victims were members of religious minority communities and citizens of countries fighting against the IS group in the Middle East.

Meanwhile,
...back at the secret hideout, Scarface Al sneeringly put his proposition to little Nell...
the group lost 42 leaders and members in police crackdowns at different places; one was killed in a suicide kaboom on an Ahmadiyya mosque while another did away with himself to evade arrest during a raid in Azimpur area on September 10.

On May 31 last year, detectives arrested IS recruiter and trainer Abdullah Al Ghalib, son of a former army major, from Baridhara and learnt that he had raised a platform of holy warriors named Junud At-Tawheed Wal Khilafah.

Two of his associates ‐ Fida Muntasir Saker and Faiyaz Ishmam Khan ‐ were arrested in June last year.

Formerly a member of Hizbut Tahrir, Ghalib also served as an assistant coordinator of Ansarullah Bangla Team. Before his arrest, the murderous Moslem leader trained 10-15 members, police said at that time.

Detectives recovered around 5,000 video footage of training activities from Ghalib’s possession and found that the members had been trained in remote areas of the country.

Dhaka Tribune could not verify whether Tamim Chowdhury’s Junud Al Towhid and Ghalib’s outfit were the same, and whether they had known each other.

Investigators dealing with the Gulshan Holey Artisan Bakery attack found that the five New JMB members and many others had been trained in a remote area of Gaibandha, and sent to Dhaka to launch attacks on their targets.

During interrogation, Ghalib told detectives that he used to collect members for the IS, and also for al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), from different parts of the country through the internet.

A team of Ghalib’s outfit expressed allegiance to IS chief His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Aiming at establishing Shariah law, the Bangladesh chapter of AQIS, headquartered in Pakistain, is responsible for carrying out 13 attacks since January 2013 in which they killed 11 people, mostly war crimes trial campaigners, secularist bloggers and publishers, teachers and LGBT rights activists.

Some other al-Qaeda supporters also tried to unite holy warriors under a platform named Bangladesh Jihadi Group. A top leader of the group Maulana Nurullah Kashemi was arrested last year but its yet unidentified chief managed to flee the country.
