"We've told her that the nation unitedly faced the JMB militants. They are not completely eliminated, but weakened," Jamaat leader Barrister Abdur Razzak told the news agency over telephone.

He said the religious leaders condemned the militancy and bomb terrorism by the JMB.

Rocca wanted to know about JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman and JMJB chief Bangla Bhai and "We've said they must be caught, there is no reason that they will not be arrested," the Jamaat leader said.

On election issue, he said Jamaat believes that next general elections will be held free and fair under the caretaker government like the three previous elections.

About the opposition demand for reforms of the caretaker government system, Barrister Razzak said: "We've told her (Rocca) that it is not possible to find out a person acceptable to all as chief advisor as being pressed by Awami League, and such provision of acceptable person can not be included in the constitution. It would be an absurd proposition."

Jamaat, however, agreed to strengthen the Election Commission by enacting laws, he added.

The meeting, which lasted for 45 minutes, was attended, among others, by Jamaat leader Mohammad Qamaruzzaman and US Charge d'Affaires Judith Chammas.
