Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has detained eight suspected members of a new faction of banned militant outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (New JMB) from Narayanganj and Comilla.
The elite force did not disclose the identities of the detainees.
RAB Legal and Media Wing’s Senior Assistant Director Mizanur Rahman Bhuiyan confirmed the matter to the Dhaka Tribune Friday morning.
He said: “They were detained from different areas of Narayanganj and Comilla with jihadi books and explosives last night [Thursday]. They belong to JMB’s Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury and Sarwar Jahan faction.”
Details regarding the matter will be disclosed in a press briefing later in the day, he added.
RAB earlier claimed that Sarwar alias Abdur Rahman alias Abu Ibrahim al-Hanif and Gulshan attack mastermind Tamim belongs to New JMB.
Sarwar sustained injuries after jumping off a five-storey building in Ashulia where RAB conducted
a raid to arrest him on October 8. He died at a Savar hospital the same day while undergoing treatment.
Tamim was killed in a drive at a militants’ den in Paikpara area of Narayanganj town on August 27.http://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/crime/2017/04/07/8-suspected-members-sarwar-tamims-new-jmb-held/
