I had no idea that Bangladesh's Islamist militants is linked to a series of nationwide bombings, but now the article stated that the militants are a lot weaker than they were two years ago due to lack of popular support and security needs. Besides Bangladesh being a largely densely populated country, it's not the time to build a terrorist camp because many people are at sake during flood reasons. Actually, these activists of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen and Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh attempted many attacks killing nearly 30 people who are also judges, lawyers, and police officials. However, since I do not know the political status or military control of Bangladesh well, it appears that they are just outlawed Islamist groups converting a Muslim, democratic Bangladesh into a "sharia-based Islamic republic". But the six top leaders were captured and executed in March this year which made the campaign's support fairly low. It is to be concluded that many of the active followers of the Islamist leaders are still trying to build their groups.
