A Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) leader wanted in connection with the Holey Artisan Bakery attack in Dhaka was arrested from a central Kolkata hideout earlier this week, reports Indian English daily ‘The Telegraph.’
Mohammad Idris, one of the “most wanted”
suspects in the Jul 1 attack in which 20 people were killed at an upscale eatery, was hiding in the Burra Bazar area, according to information passed on by a special cell of Delhi police to Kolkata police. The Telegraph report cited a source saying Idris was moving between Hyderabad and Kolkata, trying to recruit and radicalise youth through the Rohingya crisis.
Concentrated in Myanmar’s western province of Rakhine, the Rohingyas are considered by the UN as the “most persecuted minority group in the world.” As the persecution of Rohingyas is an emotional issue in Bangladesh, the JMB, intelligence sources said, is trying to use it to regroup after the government crackdown on extremist elements after the cafe attack.
