BD police arrest top militant over cafe attack
DHAKA: Bangladesh police have arrested an Islamist militant over last year’s deadly Dhaka cafe siege, officials said on Saturday, as authorities continue to ***** down on militant outfits a year after the attack.
The counter-terrorism unit arrested Sohel Mahfuz, who allegedly supplied the ******* used in the Holey Artisan Bakery attack where armed gunmen killed at least 22 people, mostly foreigners, after taking them hostage. "He was the supplier of the ******* in the Holey incident. We were hunting him way before the attack," Abdul Mannan, counter-terrorism additional commissioner, said. Acting on a tip-off, police arrested the 33 year old from the **rthwestern Chapainawabganj district along with three associates, Mannan said. Mahfuz is the chief of the **rthern command of Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), a homegrown Islamist extremist outfit blamed for the attack. The arrest came within days of US-based monitoring group SITE publishing a statement of an Islamic State operative who warned of many more attacks in West Bengal, Bangladesh and Myanmar. The Islamic State claimed the Holey Artisan Bakery attack but the government has blamed homegrown JMB. أكثر... ??????? ??????: BD police arrest top militant over cafe attack || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
