| [Bangla Daily Star] Police busted a cut-thoat den and jugged an alleged cut-thoat of banned Islamic outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) yesterday at Alipur Hospital Gate area under Hathazari upazila. One JMB cut-thoat, living as tenant at a building, managed to beat feet while hurling a bomb at police. Police later recovered four bombs and a number of Jihadi books from the spot. The arrestee Shamim Hasan, 22, hailing from Lalmonirhat, was living at one of the rooms in guise of a rickshaw puller, police said. Sub-inspector (SI) Md Omar Faruq of Hathazari Police Station said he, on way to office from his Alipur residence, approached rickshaw-puller Shamim to hire rickshaw around 5:30pm. On suspicion over his (Shamim) behaviour, SI Faruq who was in plain cloth, started inquiring of his whereabouts. The SI then took Shamim to his mess on the ground floor of a three-story building owned by one Dr Shafi at Alipur area. "As we entered into a room, a youth sitting on a bed tried to hide some Jihadi books," said SI Faruq. The youth from inside the room then hurled a bomb at SI Faruq but he missed, Faruq said. Both the two faceless myrmidons tried to flee the scene but the locals managed to hold Shamim. Later, police from Hathazari Police Station raided the rooms and recovered the bombs and books, said Officer-in-Charge Abul Kalam Azad. Quoting Shamim, SI Faruq said nine faceless myrmidons have been living at three rooms of the building while one Masud gave them training over guerrilla attacks. They were planning to hurl bombs at public places, SI Faruq said quoting Shamim. |
