| [Bangla Daily Star] Police recovered 37 handmade bombs from a sand heap outside district Jamaat office at Bhadughar under Brahmanbaria Sadar Thursday night. Police said they reached the spot following a blast at the eastern side of Al Hera Complex at Bhadughar around 10:45pm. Led by Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Sadar Police Station Md Hamidul Islam, the team recovered 37 handmade bombs of different sizes--some weighing up to one kilogramme--from a sand heap outside the boundary of Brahmanbaria Jamaat office around 11:30pm. The bombs were brought to the police station and kept in water in a tub. An explosives expert would soon examine the bombs, sources said. Contacted, the OC said he had assigned second officer of the police station Sub Inspector Mahbubur Rahman to investigate how the bombs got there. Investigation officer Mahbubur Rahman told The Daily Star over phone that at least 48 handmade bombs were recovered from Jamaat dominated areas in Brahmanbaria. Earlier on February 13, police recovered three handmade bombs from outside the house of Brahmanbaria Jamaat Ameer. On the same day around 11:00am, they recovered eight more bombs from Brahmanbaria Cadet Madrasa. On February 11, seven people were arrested in connection with an explosion in a room of a dormitory of Brahmanbaria Residential School and College, a Jamaat dominated institution. A case was lodged in this connection. Contacted over mobile pone, district Jamaat Ameer Kazi Nazrul Islam Khadem said he had heard about the recovery of bombs from outside Jamaat office and Al Hera Complex. But he knew nothing about how the bombs got there. |
