Terrorists
It was reported in almost all dailies in Dhaka that the leader of banned JMB Mulana Saidur Rahman has been arrested with his 3rd wife and four other accomplices. The IG himself broke the news to the press. It was further reported in the media that this banned terrorist outfit was training suicide squads to manufacture and hurl bombs to stage a big attack in the capital very shortly. The police have also found in their possession huge bomb making materials, jihadi booklets and sketches of grenades and rifles. The police could also gather that this group had regular contact with Pakistani terrorist groups and evidences of links of this group with a religious based political party in Bangladesh. We were afraid, had this plot not unearthed by our law forcers, there would have been a big attack in Dhaka.
Only a few days earlier, on 19 May, Begum Zia in her address in a public meeting in Dhaka categorically denied existence of any terrorist in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh should ban all her nationals from visiting Pakistan. Pakistan has not accepted Bangladesh as an independent country. The Pakistani businessmen are producing and exporting taka counterfeit just to destabilise our economy. President Musharraf reportedly met a ULFA leader in Dhaka during his official visit during the alliance government's tenure. The west is sceptical about Pakistan, because they have found that all the terrorists, who were caught in Europe, were from Pakistan. Pakistan is a breeding place of terrorists and we should be cautious about Pakistani terrorist groups for our security and sovereignty.
