UNB, Dhaka :Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Benazir Ahmed on Monday said those carrying out terroristactivities in the country are homegrown criminals.He came up with the claim while talking to reporters after inaugurating a mobile app, ‘Report 2 RAB,’ at the RAB headquarters. The RAB DG said those involved in the Gulshan and Sholakia attacks had a link withJama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). “However, the details will be known following investigation,” he said.Noting that many young men reappeared as militants after remaining missing for a long time, he underscored the need for taking a social initiative to find out the rest of the missing youths.Talking about the new app, Benazir said people can send information and photos related to any terrorist act to the elite force through the app keeping their identity secret. “As a result, RAB can easily get crime-related information from people.”
