Maulana Abdur Rahman

Among the cadres who fled after the encounter was Maulana Abdur Rahman, now the 'Emir' of the JMJB.
...
The 'Emir' of the group, Maulana Abdur Rahman began his political career by joining the Islami Chhatra Shibir and later its patron organization, the Jamaat-e-Islami.

In the early 1980s, he studied at Madina Islami University in Saudi Arabia and later worked at the Saudi Embassy in Dhaka for five years between 1985 and 1990.Thereafter, Rahman set up a mosque and a madrassa with financial help from two Islamic non-governmental organizations, the Rabeta-e-Islam and the Islami Oytijjho Sangstha.

Maulana Rahman went to Saudi Arabia to receive education who later worked in Saudi Embassy for many years.There, he must have been indoctrinated to Wahhabi teachings and ultimately to the cause of Jihad.

Meanwhile, the revival of fundamentalist politics had already started, with President Rahman giving it a major boost by permitting Golam Azam, a principal collaborator with the Pakistanis who had been accused of being instrumental in mass rape, torture and slaughter during the 1971 war, to return from Pakistan, to which he had fled before Bangladesh's liberation.
...
President Rahman, who had formed the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on September 1, 1978, was assassinated on May 30, 1981.Lt-Gen H.M, Ershad seized power in March 1982 by ousting Abdus Sattar, a former Supreme Court judge who had succeeded Rahman; Ershad proved to be very good news for Islamic militants.
...
In 2003, following a clash with police, its spiritual leader or Shaikh was Maulana Abdur Rahman.
...
Disappointment followed, notwithstanding the much-publicized hanging of Bangla Bhai, Maulana Abdur Rahman and four of their associates on March 29, 2007.Their death sentences had been confirmed by the Bangladesh High Court, and their appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court on January 21, 2007.The Government had no option but to execute them.

While the present caretaker government has been arresting and prosecuting activists of the JMB, JMJB, AHAB and even HUJIB (which the US described on March 5, 2008, as a foreign terrorist organisation, which enables it to take legal action against the outfit), it has done virtually nothing against the JeIB, the principal source of fundamentalist ideology.Maulana Abdur Rahman was an active member of the JeIB's ICS as a student and Bangla Bhai was also a member of the ICS.
