JMB finds chars, hills safe for training

Shariful Islam
Not only in hill areas, Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh has training facilities in far-flung chars as well to stay beyond the reach of the law enforcers.
The banned outfit shifted their camps to distant places after Rapid Action Battalion had busted militant dens in the capital in recent months.
Lt Col Ziaul Ahsan, director of Rab's intelligence wing, told The Daily Star, “We are working to'dismantle the JMB camps in chars (land mass on river) and deep forest areas.
"We have already broken their backbone. No matter how hard they try to regroup, it all flashes on our radar screen."
Rab busted a JMB training camp at remote Matiranga hill forest in Khagrachhari on Friday following up intelligence from the field.
During die raid, they arrested Abdur Rahim, second-in-command of Chittagong division JMB, and seized bomb-making materials.
The following day, the crime busters captured four other JMB operatives.
Fearing attacks in reprisal for arrest of the five, Rab has stepped up vigilance in the city, particularly at Puja mandaps.
"We have employed full strength to ward off militant attacks,” said Ziaul.
Rab sources said they first learned about JMB moving its training camps following the arrest of a militant leader in Comilia around

The outfit is no stranger to relocation, they added. It used char areas in Tan gall, S i r a j g a n j, J a m a I p u r, Gaibandha, Pabna and other northern districts for training in the past too.
It had its activities concentrated in Dhaka and adjoining districts to flee the anti-militant drive in char areas after the countrywide blasts in 2005.
It organised training programmes and stored huge bombs and grenades in its dens across the capital.
Zahidul Islam alias "Boma” Mizan, captured a few months ago from the city's Monipur area, divulged the information to the interrogators.
Acting on leads obtained from him, Rab unearthed a mini-munitions factory In the city and seized a huge amount of explosives.
Meanwhile, the five JMB men arrested on Friday and Saturday from Khagrachhari, Gazipur and Comilla were produced before courts yesterday.
Our correspondent from Khagrachhari reports: The Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court here sent three detained JMB members including Rahim to jail.
Matiranga police prayed for Rahim, Delwar Hossain and Yunus Miah to be remanded for seven days.
But the court rejected the prayer as police failed to submit case dossiers.
Asked about the investigation officer's absence in court, Superintendent of Police Ameer Jafar said he had failed to attend because of duties at Puja mandaps.
In Gazipur, a court placed Delwar Hossain, one of the five arrestees, on a three-day remand.
SI Mobarak Hossain of Joydevpur Police Station, IO of the case, prayed for a 10-day remand.
Monir alias Ripon, another arrestee, was sent to jail by a Comilla court.
Rab sources said the arrestees will soon be quizzed at the Taskforce for Interrogation Cell for more information -about-.the. militant network.
