Many more terror attacks took place in the country after the series bombings, in which freethinking bloggers, writers, professors and people with different religious views were targets. According to the Police Headquarters, a total of 1,106 people were accused in 159 cases over the 2005 series bombings. The next militant strike after the series bombings on Aug 17, 2005 came on Nov 14 the same year. The law enforcers have blamed the JMB's reincarnation Neo-JMB for the Gulshan cafe carnage and the attack on law enforcers in Kishoreganj's Sholakia only a week later. After the hanging of the top leaders, the JMB was reformed under the leadership of former Jamaat-e-Islami leader Maulana Saidur Rahman.
