Burdwan blast has exposed the deep network Jamaat-ul- Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) has in West Bengal. According to preliminary National Investigation Agency (NIA) report, JMB may be recruiting youth from Bengal to supply them for global terror activities now.​

According to a report in 24 Ghanta, Bengali channel of the Zee group, NIA report has some pretty damning information likely to keep security agencies at edge. There are around 65 terror modules currently active in Bengal. NIA believes top leaders of JMB may be also confiding in the statem, using West Bengal as a safe haven to export explosives to Bangladesh. Additionally, several youth are being recruited to join global jihad.

According to NIA's report, recently a top JMB terrorist was hauled up in Bangladesh. JMB's working president Abdullah-Al-Tasnim alias Nahid said that hundreds of youth trained in terror activities from India and Bangladesh have joined ISIS in the last few month. Nahid along with his six other colleagues have exposed some the terror designs to Bangladesh agencies. NIA in their preliminary report has mentions Nahid's confession.

JMB started their operation in 2010 in Bengal with a paltry 10 members and two modules. Two of the top JMB leader Anisur and Mofazzel Hossain had the job of recruiting new people. Since then, within 4 years, JMB has spread its network at a menacing pace to reach over 65 modules. One such module was operating in Burdwan.

The NIA report also says that the money for this has been funded by hawala sources from West Asia via Bangladesh. The main work of these terror modules is to supply men and ammunitions for terror activities in Bangladesh. Four of the top JMB operatives including founder member Sohail Mehfuz controlled the entire operation from India. A religious preacher from Basirhat arranged for their accommodation. But what is keeping investigators on tenterhooks is the huge number of trained militants who have reportedly joined terror groups. In the unauthorized Madrasa of Shimulia, nearly hundred girls also got training in jehadi literature.

On Tuesday, National Security Adviser Ajit Dova lsaid to Mamata Banerjee in no uncertain terms that the state is becoming a safe haven for anti national elements. It is up to the West Bengal government to crack down on this extremely worrying trend with the help of central agencies.
