Another JMB leader held
An anti-militancy unit of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested another leader of the banned Islamic militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) from Kurigram district early Saturday.
Arrestee Saju Miah alias Saju, 25, a close aide to the former JMB chief Matin Mehedi, is a 'Gayree Ehsar' (a part-time member) of the militant organisation, said Rab officials.
A Kurigram court yesterday sent Saju to district jail after being produced before the judge.
According to Rab-5 officials, the Rab team during a raid to Mollikpur village in the Sadar upazila caught Saju while holding a secret meeting with his accomplices at around 12:30am.
Saju escaped arrest in April 2007 when police arrested Matin Mehedi with three others from Hatir Par area of Kurigram with bomb making materials and jihadi book.
