Bomb factory found at Bangladesh mosque
2005-10-19
Police in Bangladesh uncovered on Wednesday a workshop for manufacturing small bombs on the top floor of a mosque in the northeastern Sylhet city, a television news channel said. Police raided the mosque belonging to the banned group Jamaatul Mujahideen and seized a large quantity of explosive material, batteries, wires and other materials used in making crude explosive devices, the privately-run ATN channel reported.

Local residents said the factory had been supplying explosives to Jamiatul Mujahideen militants for carrying out bomb attacks across the country. The police detained a suspected militant from the mosque after forcing entry to the building and also seized publicity materials belonging to the militant group.

Having established the mosque as the location of a bomb-making operation, the people associated with it can probably be safely called terrorists instead of "militants".

#4  I half-jokingly call the local Mosque the Terrorist Training School.

I should stop joking.
