| JMB men guided by manual |
| 2010-12-29 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] The instruction manual recovered by crime busters from a JMB den compiles a set of guidelines for underground gunnies reorganising the terror outfit. Police raiding a hideout of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh in Alipur Hospital Gate Area of the district's Hathazari upazila found the document along with some jihadi books. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... a Chittagong court yesterday placed JMB bully boy Shamim Hossain, jugged during the raid, on a three-day remand. Shamim disguised as a rickshaw puller was living in Alipur along with others bully boys. Law enforcers on Monday busted another JMB hideout in nearby Patika area. The Daily Star has obtained a copy of the handbook containing 29 instructions on different topics for members and leaders of the banned outfit. The topics include selection of members and maintaining their profiles, hideouts, safety measures, and also some guidelines for Eshar members -- full time activists -- working underground. It has a separate topic titled "Management and Monitoring" meant for the higher-tier members like commanders. The manual reads six instructions on hiding. The gunnies have been directed to select rooms on ground floors so that they could easily flee or put up good defence in a fight. Places close to cop shoppes and Rab or other intelligence offices, slums where people are close to each other, and already raided areas have been strictly prohibited to be chosen. Areas where most people are unknown to each other are suggested as better options. While renting a house, members have to use a false identity. In Alipur and Patika, gunnies were posing as rickshaw pullers and day labourers. The manual instructs them to get ready for frequent arrival of the gunnies from outside for training. If some outsider gunnies frequently visit a den for training, the manual puts as an example, the shelter could be made known as a coaching centre. The underground gunnies are instructed to gather furniture that synchronises with their identity and avoid Islamic appearance in the room so that no suspicion falls on them. There are ten instructions on "Security Rules". In one of the directives, gunnies have been asked to maintain a little relation with locals. The manual has three guidelines on arrest or sudden drives by law enforcers. If any bully boy is jugged he should try to misguide police with wrong information about the whereabouts of his associates. A separate sub-head meant for leaders has two instructions that include keeping statistics of hiding members and managing a network so that they can take steps to evacuate from the nearby hideouts in case of sudden raids. |
