[Dhaka Tribune] The imam of an Ahmadiyya mosque in Mymensingh was critically injured after being hacked inside the mosque by a group of three men in a suspected turban attack Monday night.
Of course. Isn't that what Allah invented them for?
Imam Mostafizur Rahman, 35, of Khanpur mosque in Ishwarganj area was hacked by the assailants indiscriminately with sharp weapons inside the mosque around 9pm, after the end of Esha prayers. The attackers tried to flee as locals came to his rescue.

The imam was first taken to the Upazila Health Complex and then shifted to Mymensingh Medical College as his condition deteriorated.

One of the three attackers, Ahad, has been detained by the locals. He is also undergoing treatment at the hospital under police custody. Ahad hails from Kalmakanda of Netrokona.

Police Superintendent Syed Nurul Islam visited the injured imam at the hospital around 10:30pm. He hoped that the two others would be nabbed
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
 soon. He, however, did not say anything about the motive of the attack.

OC Badrul Alam of Ishwarganj police could not be reached over the phone.

Mostafizur hails from Dohanda village under Kahalu Upazila in Dinajpur. He has been working at the mosque for the last two years.

The jacket wallah, Md Tarek Aziz alias Musa, was killed in the kaboom while Jamal Uddin, who helped Aziz to carry the bomb inside the mosque, was killed in a shoot-out at Godagari of Rajshahi on June 7, 2016, a day after his arrest.

New JMB has carried out most of its attacks with the help of three-man teams.
