A banned Islamic terrorist group, blamed for hundreds of bomb blasts in the third week of August 2005 across Bangladesh, has threatened to strike again unless the government, considered sympathetic to right wing religious groups, introduces Islamic rule in the impoverished country, earning the dubious distinction of ranking among the few last in the World Development Report’s list.
If Dhaka ( capital of Bangladesh in the Indian sub-continent) authorities failed to establish Islamic law or tried to arrest any member of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, “(we) will take direct action,” the group forewarned in a English language statement on the website ‘jihadunspun.com’.
“Everybody, who wants to launch democracy as an institutional form, is the enemy of Islam”, added the statement. “Therefore, we invite the ruling party and also the Opposition to initiate the rule of Islam within a short time in Bangladesh.”
