Nevertheless, the capture of the country’s two top terrorists constitutes adefinite setback for the twin outfits, the JMB and the JMJB, which haveengineered several terrorist strikes over the past years, including thecountry-wide blasts on August 17, 2005. These arrests, however, do notnecessarily auger the immediate collapse and death of these groups, althoughfive of the seven members of the Majlis-e-Shura (the highestdecision-making body) of the JMB are now behind bars. These include Ataur RahmanSunny (arrested on December 14, 2005), Abdul Awal (arrested on November 18,2005) and Rakib Hasan Russel alias Hafez Mohammad (arrested on February 28,2006). The remaining members of the Shura, Salahuddin alias Salehin(‘commander’ of the Sylhet-Mymensingh region) and Faruq Hossain alias KhaledSaifullah (‘commander’ of the Rangpur-Dinajpur region), remain at large.Salahuddin, considered to be an expert in bomb-making, masterminded theNetrokona suicide attack on December 8, 2005, with the help of his associateMujahiddul Islam Sumon, who was later arrested in Mymansingh. Faruq Hossaincoordinated the suicide attacks targeting judges in Chandpur, Laxmipur andChittagong.
