Police said the slain hard boy was Major Murad, 35, who stabbed and injured three officers during the raid on a five-storey building in Dhaka's Rupnagar neighbourhood where the suspect had rented a flat.
"He was a senior member of the JMB (Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh) and trained the five gunnies who attacked the Gulshan cafe," Sanwar Hossain, a senior counter-terrorism officer in the Dhaka police force, told AFP.
Chief trainer
"He was smart and fluent in English. He was the chief trainer of the JMB and one of the planners of the cafe attack. He was rubbed out after he stabbed three of our officers who were trying to take him alive," he said, adding that the three coppers had been hospitalised.
The raid came days after police potted three suspected
Police have blamed the JMB for a wave of murders targeting foreigners and members of religious minorities in which at least 80 people have been killed.
Since the cafe attack in July police have rubbed out at least 27 Death Eaters.
The ISIS grabbed credit for the Gulshan attack, releasing photos from inside the cafe during the siege and of the five men who carried out the deadly assault and were rubbed out at its finale.
But Bangladeshi authorities have rejected the claim, saying international Death Eater networks have no presence in the world’s third-largest Moslem-majority nation.
