Cox’s Bazar Correspondent :
Police have detained eight people over the deadly attack on an Islamic seminary in a Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar on Friday morning.
The suspects were detained from Ukhiya late on Friday during raids in the camps, said Superintendent (SP) Shihab Kaiser, chief of the Ukhiya-based unit of the Armed Police Battalion (APBn).
He, however, did not disclose their identities.
Sources said unidentified men attacked the Islamic seminary at Block H-52 of Camp No 18 before daybreak. Soon after the attack, one of the assailants, who was later identified as Jasim, was held in possession of a locally-made gun and a sharp weapon, said SP Shihab.
