Officials of the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) said that Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) is working with Ansar al Islam and Neo-Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (Neo-JMB) to revive militancy, reports The Daily Star.

According to data from Police Headquarters and court documents, as many as 42 percent of all arrested members of Ansarullah Bangladesh Team (ABT) have secured bail and are moving around freely, reports Dhaka Tribune on August 31. Altogether 350 ABT operatives were arrested in 76 cases filed on charges of murder and militancy beginning 2013. Among them, 148 have secured bail, this correspondent has found. Ominously, 17 of the accused who secured bail have been missing since their release. They have not shown up for hearings and it is suspected that they have returned to militancy. So far, trials have been completed in only seven cases, and the remaining 69 cases are still under trial and investigation. Police and investigators claim it is not their fault if the militants they capture secure bail in court. However, court sources argue that Police are to blame for failing to gather sufficient evidence against those arrested. Trials in militancy cases are a lengthy process, sometimes taking years, which allows the accused to secure bail, the court sources added.
