| 2007-05-08 |
| A Dhaka court yesterday placed a Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) member on a seven-day remand in connection with a case filed for bomb explosions at Ramna Batamul in 2001. Metropolitan Magistrate Mir Ali Reza passed the order when CID Inspector Abu Hena Mohammad Yusuf, who is also the investigation officer (IO), produced the JMB member, Abdullah Al Tasnim, before the court amid tight security. He was brought to the court on completion of his seven-day remand in connection with bomb blasts at a CPB rally at Paltan in the capital on January 20, 2001. In the forwarding report, CID Inspector Anwar Hossain mentioned that Tasnim gave important information about the bomb explosions. So, he should be confined to jail custody until the investigation of the case completes, the IO said. Seeking a ten-day remand for Tasnim in connection with the Ramna bomb blast case, IO Abu Hena said Tasnim is an active member of JMB and vital clue will be found out if he is quizzed. Ten people died and several others were injured on April 14, 2001 when bombs went off at Ramna Batamul during the Bengali New year's celebrations. |
