Asian security services indicated that militants from the Jemaah Islamiah – which is connected
to the Al Qaeda and seeks to set up a gigantic Islamic state encompassing Malaysia, Singapore,
Indonesia and southern Philippines – were also hiding out in these camps, which were set up
in the early 1990s to train rebels from the Muslim Rohingya minority in Myanmar's Rakhine

Bangladesh - A Lengthening Shadow of Terror


Both local residents and foreigners are recruited into the HuJI-B. Besides, refugees from
Myanmar are a significant source of cadres for the outfit. They include stateless Rohingyas,
whose families have fled Myanmar over the years allegedly due to religious persecution.
Cadres of the HuJIB are primarily recruited from various Madrassas (seminaries).
The Madrassas essentially impart religious training and most of them are financed by Arab
charities. Reports also indicate that many HuJI-B recruits have seen ‘action’ in the Indian
State of Jammu and Kashmir, Chechnya and Afghanistan.
