Bangla Bad Boy Bagged
2005-09-12
Police arrested Bahadur Munshi, 27, a suspected Janajuddha activist, in Dhaka on Sunday. “Bahadur fled his home in northwestern Bathiaghata village months ago and took a job in a garment factory,” a police officer said. “More like him may have hidden themselves in the city, disguising as factory workers or under other covers,” said the officer.

Police have arrested more than 200 Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen members and other activists for suspected involvement in the explosions, but have yet to find the group’s spiritual leader, Shayek Abdur Rahman, who they say might have bravely fled the country. Analysts and diplomats said the attacks were a ‘wake up call’ for Bangladesh - a Muslim democratic country which had long ignored the presence of Islamic militants. The US has offered to assist Bangladesh to hunt down the bombers.
