"HuJI-B was established reportedly with assistance from Osama bin Laden’s International Islamic Front (IIF). On April 30, 1992, several of the HuJI-B leaders addressed a press conference at the Jatiya Press Club in capital Dhaka and demanded that Bangladesh be converted into an Islamic State. The outfit’s activities, however, were noticed in June 1996 after the Awami League (AL) came to power." From TRAC
