Based on interrogation of the JMB leader, Police on March 23 revealed that militant groups are working in concert to establish a Sharia-based state with the help of international terrorist group Islamic State (IS), reports Dhaka Tribune. The JMB leader confessed that the JMB members were working jointly with banned Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) and Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) and other extremist groups including Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI). Their aim is to turn Bangladesh into a model Islamic country by 2020 incorporating parts of India and Myanmar with it. A new umbrella of militants named “International Lions Force of Hindustan” has also been working to turn the three neighboring countries into one unified Islamic State in the long run. According to the information given out by the militant commander in custody, a four-member delegation of the IS from Syria visited Chittagong District in October 2014 and sat with the top leaders of banned Islamist outfits JMB, HuJI-B and HuT, and the recently-emerged Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT). Ershad also told the Police that JMB alone has over 1,000 camouflaged members in the Chittagong District preparing for jihad. Many of them were trained in Pakistan. Under his leadership, the Chittagong District unit of JMB had about 15 commanders who control around 150 Eshar (key members), 500 Gayri Eshar (mid-level members) and a number of Ansars (associate members).
