You are quite right, I hadn't thought of it that way. Same agenda just a bit more subversive.

"Same agenda..."

Ditto -- the jihadis are focused and stay focused on their evil agenda.

Dhaka arrests 10 Islamist militants (Bangladesh)
Saturday 3rd March 2007

DHAKA: Bangladesh police have arrested 10 activists of banned Islamist groups on the heels of the country's interim government saying it will enact a law soon providing tough penalties to convicted terrorists.

The 10 members of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen and Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh were arrested in a raid on their hideout in Rajshahi district, 270km northwest of the capital, Dhaka. Top leaders of the two groups - Shayek Abdur Rahman of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen and Siddikul Islam Bangla Bhai of the other group - are facing death, along with four others, after being convicted in trials over countrywide bomb blast in 2005.

They were convicted for planning and involvement in the explosion of some 500 bombs across the country on August 17 and more bomb attacks through rest of that year, killing at least 30 people and wounding 150. An adviser to the interim government, Mainul Husein, said that a new law was being framed to ban all organisations if they were found to be linked to terrorism in any form.

Pakistan police arrest 5 militants over 39 bomb attacks
March 3, 2007

KARACHI, Pakistan: Five Islamic militants have been arrested for their alleged involvement in 39 low-scale bomb attacks in southern Pakistan, police said Saturday.

The men were captured late Friday as they tried to plant a bomb on a railway track to blow up a train in Hyderabad, a city 150 kilometers (90 miles) northeast of Pakistan's largest city, Karachi. Hyderabad police chief Shaukat Shah said the men had links with an outlawed militant group, but he would not give details.

"So far these terrorists have confessed to their role in blowing up railway tracks and planting bombs in buses," he said. It was not immediately clear how many people were killed or injured in the attacks, and Shah said officers were still investigating.
