| 2009-08-06 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] Banned militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) had planned to assassinate either Sheikh Hasina or Khaleda Zia in its failed bid to foil the ninth parliamentary polls. This chilling information was revealed by Zahidul Islam Sumon alias "Boma" Mizan during interrogation, say sources in the elite Rapid Action Battalion (Rab), which arrested him in Mirpur in the capital on May 14. Mizan also told the interrogators they had even hired about a dozen JMB members from India to execute the blueprint, says an investigator on the understanding of anonymity. The investigator who interrogated Mizan on several occasions says the militant leader admitted that JMB has a network in West Bengal in India which is weakening gradually. |
