BNP and its high command, self-exiled in London, have issued statements in favour of Jamaat leader and a top brass war criminal Deloar Hossain Sayedi.
And it is nothing new. BNP has always been working in favour of anti-liberation forces as the party itself has no respect for country’s independence and its founder.
Political analysts suspected that after failure of BNP’s one point movement, it has resorted to violence and militancy to distablise the present government.
BNP and its key-ally Jamaat are instigating and patronizing militant groups to realize their dangerous political goals.
Newly emerged militant organizations are active under their instructions, the informed sources believed.
According to the sources in the security forces, old militants are re-organising under the banner of new terrorist outfit to distablise the country.
In an effort to carry out terrorist activities in mainly remote areas of the country, some notorious militant groups are re-emerging to establish strong network, recent intelligence reports say.
Counter terrorism officials warned that the notorious militants may try to carry out deadly attacks taking advantage of the current political unrest situation in the country.
The Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) arrested twenty seven suspected militants only in two days from the hills of Karmadha union of 's Kulaura Upazila in Moulvibazar district.
CTTC officials claimed that the militants of the newly identified outfit Imam Mahmuder Kafela are receiving terror funds from Middle Eastern countries.
Political annalists suspected that after failing the anti-government movement, BNP and it’s key-ally Jamaat are instigating and patronizing such militant groups to realize their evil political missions.
Newly emerged militants organizations are actually umbrella organization of BNP-Jamaat, they further suspected.
According to the sources in the security forces, old militants are trying to re-organize under the banner of a new terrorist outfit to destabilize the country.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Wednesday also admitted that the government has not been able to completely eradicate militancy.
“Some sleeper cell of the militant group is still remaining. They are trying to re-emerge and reorganize. Our security forces and intelligence agencies are highly efficient. They are deactivating militancy and bringing them to book,” the home minister further said.
Meanwhile, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Legal and Media Wing Director Commander Khandaker Al Moin also claimed that some former militants are trying to reorganize to destabilize the country.
He said, “Militancy has been inactive during last few years but in recent times the militants are again trying to destabilize the country by reorganizing themselves.”
Those are still active in the old organizations like, Harkatul Jihad Al-Islami (HUJI) joined the new militant outfit titled - Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya, which has already been banned.”
The spokesperson said that those who were involved in the militancy earlier are mobilizing to destabilize the country under a new name.
He said they are also recruiting new members, while the RAB detectives are working intensively to arrest them. Apart from RAB, other law enforcement agencies are also working on it.
Earlier on Tuesday , security forces discovered another hideout of the new militant group "Imam Mahmuder Kafela" in the hills of Karmadha union of 's Kulaura Upazila in Moulvibazar district.
They recovered approximately five kilograms of explosives and 14 bullets from the hideout.
The Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit's Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team along with the bomb disposal unit, conducted a four-hour-drive since Tuesday noon.
On Monday, the CTTC initiated a drive and took into custody 17 suspects who were apprehended by locals as they were trying to flee the area on five three-wheeler. CTTC chief Md Asaduzzaman said 17 suspects militants were living in these houses.
Abdul Ahad Mendi, who identified himself as "Imam Mahmud," was among the arrestees, according to the CTTC chief.
SM Nazmul Haque, deputy commissioner of the CTTC, said the outfit used to receive funds from Middle Eastern countries. "One of the arrestees, Jamil, once lived in Oman. Jamil had good relations with Qatar expatriate Rashid Ali, who hails from Kulaura in Moulvi Bazar district. Jamil used the relationship to buy 50 decimal of land in the area and then built the hideout," said Nazmul.
Earlier this month, the CTTC arrested 21 members of the outfit. The suspects had 11 children with them.
Around 500 bombs went off simultaneously at 300 locations in 63 districts on August 17 in 2005. The bombs exploded in half an hour from 11:30am. The banned outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) claimed responsibility for the blasts.
