Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh Jmb

Bangladesh police said Tuesday they had killed the chief of Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an extremist group accused of murdering secular activists and inspiring a cafe siege that killed 22 people.

Bangladesh police said Friday they had arrested the "spiritual leader" of a banned Islamist outfit alleged to have carried out a series of deadly attacks in the country.

Five people linked to the Islamist extremist group behind July's Dhaka cafe siege that left 22 hostages, most of them foreigners, dead have been arrested, Bangladesh police said Thursday.

Security was tightened in a Bangladesh southern city on Sunday ahead of the expected execution of a senior Islamist extremist whose group has been linked to the murder of foreign hostages, police said.

Bangladesh police shot and killed a top terrorist who was the main suspect behind deadly bomb blasts at a Shia shrine during late-night raids, officers said today.

An explosives expert from a banned Islamist group was killed in Bangladesh today when he detonated a device while security forces searched for weapons in one of the group's hideouts, police said.
