A 7.65 foreign made pistol, seven bullets, 15 to 16 jihadi books were also recovered from the house around 10:00am, the DIG said.

The recovery was made after members of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit resumed their operation for the second day at the house in the morning.

Under the code name “Southpaw”, law enforcers started to dismantle a tin-shed house there around 9:15am.

A team of 30 counterterrorism members led by ADC Nazmul Hasan is conducting the operation in presence of Deputy Inspector General of Khulna range Didar Ahmed.

However, police yesterday claimed that suspected militants already fled the spot before the CTTC began the drive.

Owner of the house Abdullah, a suspected militant, converted to Muslim from Hinduism in 2012, according to police.

The CTTC members yesterday also claimed to have recovered a huge stash of explosives and a 9mm pistol from the den in a house at Porahati.

The explosives include three suicide vests, a pressure cooker bomb, around 20 plastic containers of bomb-making chemicals and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and detonators.

Last month, CTTC officials busted five hideouts of “Neo JMB” -- two in Chittagong, one in Sylhet and two in Moulvibazar. Nineteen people, including five children and five women, were killed in those incidents.

According to police, 16 of them were killed in suicidal blasts.

“Neo JMB”, which is believed to follow the ideology and strategy of Islamic State (IS), was responsible for the Gulshan café attack. Twenty-two people, including 17 foreigners and two police officials, were killed in the attack, said police.

Since the attack, around 57 "Neo JMB" operatives have been killed in different drives.

This user Ashes/SHK is a huge extremist/fanatic ideology promoter. Looks like he is advertising militant capacity in BD. Some days back a black American killed three white Americans in USA, after that this user Ashes/SHK repeatedly changing his avatars with his black idols. Also changed his user name into ashes which resembles something related to blacks. When Trump was ahead in presidential race this user was using derogatory. When Trump was elected as president this user Ashes/SHK wanted to leave USA. A frustrated guy who once said he isnt happy with his own genetics. Once I remember he was encouraging molestation in BD. FBI, Homeland security should monitor his activities, a highly suspicious guy.

You're a new breed of stupid aren't you? I've been more active on this forum than you and almost nothing you say is remotely true. I've had David Bowie, a white man as my avatar once @Nilgiri can vouch for that. Especially with my change in a username which had more to do with a song of his called Ashes to Ashes. What does Ashes have to do with Blacks? Do you want to burn black people or something? Yeah, that sounds like something you would do. If you want to make dumb assumptions based on a username I can do the same thing. Except mine would be far more accurate. I have no hatred for white people, but I have hatred for terrorists like yourself.

And what is this about black idols? Are you implying that just because they're black they're going to be violet killers too? So not only are you stupid, sympathetic to terrorism, you're also racist as well? You really are a waste of oxygen.

Exiled Soldier? Based on your beliefs you are likely an exiled JMB supporter. The only difference here is that you are delusional to think you were a soldier of your country. You are a terrorist sympathizer, pure and simple. I was never encouraging molestation, I was encouraging you to do humanity a favor and blow yourself up like your JMB buddies. Yes I despise Trump, but that has more to do with his foreign and environmental policy. You don't know shit, stop blithering bullcrap you JMB sympathizer. Watch in rage as your friends and family get shot and blown up in desperation of a losing battle.

There's a reason why my profile is open for all to see, I have nothing to hide. You, have everything to hide.

Alim was also a close aide of recently executed Mufti Hannan, the chief of a faction of the militant outfit, RAB said.

RAB-6 Jhenaidah camp commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police Golam Morshed, said they, in four teams, carried out raids at the district’s Hathgopalpur village in the wee hours.

They finally arrested him from in front a graveyard around 4am.

Later in the day, he was produced at a Chuadnga court amid tight security in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act, where he admitted planning sabotage in Chudanga, Meherpur and Jhenaidah.
