In an unprecedented show of force, organization and skill, two
proscribed Islamist militant organizations exploded more than 450
bombs within a span of less than an hour throughout Bangladesh on
17 August 2005 sending a strong message that they were a force to
be reckoned with. This catastrophic event, followed by a number of
suicide attacks, forced the then reluctant Bangladeshi government,
a coalition of center-right parties with two Islamists among them,
to acknowledge the existence of a network of militants and take
action against this threat. Against this backdrop, this book is the
first academic study on the growing Islamist militancy in
Bangladesh. It examines the relevance, significance and
trajectories of militant Islamist groups in Bangladesh, exploring
the complex web of domestic, regional and international events and
dynamics that have both engendered and strengthened Islamist
militancy in Bangladesh. The three factors - domestic, regional and
international aspects - are each discussed separately and their
connection and links are analyzed. It goes on to consider possible
future trajectories of militant Islamism in Bangladesh. This book
addresses an issue of great importance for contemporary Bangladeshi
politics, and will be of interest to scholars of international
politics and security studies, including terrorism and the politics
of South Asia.
