HuJi planning to carry out subversive acts:Daily Sun

  Different banned militant outfits, including Harkat-ul-Jihad (HuJi), are reportedly planning to destabilise country’s law and order by carrying out subversive acts, intelligence sources said. Militant groups having link with some international terrorist organisations have become active again and are planning to carry out subversive acts, a senior detective police official said. “We have informat
ion that many activists of different banned outfits such as HuJi and JMB and their foreign aides are now in the capital and they may launch attacks any time,” he added. Meanwhile, members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in a drive on early Tuesday arrested a suspected HuJi activist from a residence in the capital’s Khilgaon area. The RAB striking team also seized many books on militancy, photos of militancy training and various documents from his possession,” said Maj Mohiuddin of RAB-3. Last week, detective police in separate drives nabbed four HuJi leaders and activists along with powerful bombs and bomb-making materials in Narayanganj, and in the capital. The arrested were identified as Md Rafik Ahmed alias Sajid, 38, Md Omar aka Faizul alias Rabi, 25, Md Nadim Ahmed alias Sumon, 30, and Md Salauddin Ahmed, 29. They are the active members of different local and international militant outfits, including Huji, according to detective sources. The sources also said that that they were trying to collect activists of different banned militant outfits under the banner of ‘Bangladesh Jihadi Group’. The arrested have been placed on six-day remand for interrogation. Militant outfits having link with some international terrorist organisations, including Pakistan-based Laskar-e-Tayeb, may carry out subversive acts in the capital and other parts of the country. HuJi kingpin Mufti Hannan, its spiritual leader Farid Uddin Masud and many others were arrested in connection with bomb attacks and they are now facing trial. Huji was directly involved in grenade attacks on the Awami League rally on August 21 in 2004 on Bangabandhu Avenue and Pahela Baishakh celebration venu at Ramna Batomul, leaving many people dead and scores of others injured. A number of many militant activists and their foreign associates are now staying at different parts of the capital hiding their real identities, intelligence sources said. Detective police recently intensified their operation in the capital and elsewhere in the country to nab militant activists, Deputy Commissioner (DC) (media) Masudur Rahman said.
