Rab unearths gun-making factory
2009-08-14
[Bangla Daily Star] An arms factory was unearthed with eight rifles and huge gun-making materials at Sukuriakata village in Maheshkhali upazila yesterday.

Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) launched the operation at about 4:00pm and discovered the illegal arms factory in the hilly area in close proximity of the Bay.

Raiding the arms-house, they seized eight rifles and huge materials used for making various types of arms and arrested three persons engaged in making guns at the factory.

"A hectic operation is being carried out in the hill area to track down those involved in gunrunning," says a report from the area.
Yet another demonstration that Bangladesh is not Pakistan-on-the-other-side. In Pakistan arms-making seems sometimes to be the occupation of a quarter of the country, cf. the Peshawar arms bazaars.
