| Police claim success in Avijit murder case |
| 2016-02-24 |
[Dhaka Tribune] Investigators have got some crucial information in connection with the murder of secularist writer Avijit Roy from the two alleged murderous Moslems enjuggedMaw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! recently in the city. Sources said that the duo -- Kamal alias Shahin and Shah Alam alias Salauddin -- had been involved in the gruesome murder that took place on February 26 last year. Police say they are members of banned bully boy outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team. A senior police officer, seeking anonymity, confirmed the matter to the Dhaka Tribune, but refused to elaborate further. The newly-formed Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CT) unit and the DB police arrested the two murderous Moslems from Badda on Friday. They were placed on six-day remand on Monday. Former Buet teacher Avijit Roy, also founder of Mukto-Mona blog, was hacked to death by assailants near TSC when he and his wife Rafida Ahmed Bonya were returning from the book fair. Bonna sustained severe injuries in the attack. Ansarullah has ties with HuJI-B Founded in 1984 by Fazlur Rehman Khalil and Qari Saifullah Aktar. The Bangla branch was established in 1992 with assistance from Osama bin Laden. Recruits come mostly from Deobandi madrassahs. HuJI and Fazlur Rehman Khalil are signators of bin Laden's declaration of war on the west. Bombs recovered from the alleged den of Ansarullah in Mohammadpur are similar to those found in Narayanganj on October 25 last year, Sherlocks said. They think that either some members of banned Islamist group Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami (HuJIB) joined Ansarullah or they trained the Ansarullah members. Both the groups want to establish Islamic rule in the country. DB Bomb Disposal Unit officials told the Dhaka Tribune that they had found the bombs inside the false ceiling of the flat. Similar arrangement was seen in Narayanganj. DB Assistant Commissioner Rahmattullah Chowdhury said they had found six grenades which were made of local materials. Moreover, they found bomb-making manuals written in Bangla and Arabic. "We saw similar preparation of grenades from the HuJIB members detained earlier. May be some bomb makers of HuJIB have joined Ansarullah," he added. At least seven members of HuJIB were arrested by the DB police in Narayanganj last year. They had returned to Bangladesh after getting military training from Pakistain-based bully boy group Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... for two years. |
