'JMB manpower crisis in Dhaka'After arresting five JMB operatives with explosives from Dhaka’s Darussalam area, police have said that the banned militant group brought these men into the capital from the country’s northern region to tackle the ‘manpower loss’ caused by the Jul 26 Kalyanpur raid. But they now say the terror outfit had reorganised in the past two years and has been carrying out attacks and murders.Police officials call this reorganised JMB the ‘Neo JMB’. Police said the dead men were JMB members too.To a question of why they were being called the Neo JMB, Monirul Islam said, “If you have followed our past briefings, you will remember that we have been saying that JMB has split in two.“Most of them had begun following Maula Saidur Rahman, but another group separated from them. He seems like an educated youth. We have also announced Tk 2 million rewards on each of them for information leading to their arrest.”Police say that dismissed army Major Ziaul was one of the conspirators of a 2012 coup bid aimed at toppling the Hasina government.
