Security forces raiding two militant hideouts in Moulvibazar

[Russell]

Update from the 1st hideout (Nasirpur) -

CTTC unit Deputy Commissioner Moinul Islam says that 7-8 dead bodies have been found in the Nasirpur hideout. He says it is difficult to ascertain the exact number of dead as many of the bodies have been torn to pieces.

He spoke to the media and said - the bodies had been blown to pieces and were spread out in 2-3 rooms. There were women and children in the house.

Authorities tried repeatedly to get the children to be let out - the male and female adults were beyond reasoning...but, these evil bastards didn't even spare their own kids.

All inside died last night and the damage to the bodies indicates - they blew themselves up rather than get caught alive.

A mini drone was brought in from Dhaka to recce the premises for grenades and IED's - the authorities spent the best part of today letting the bomb disposal unit deal with them.

He also said SWAT will most likely take down the 2nd hideout (Borohat) in the early hours (local time)

50% of the radicals are actually well off english medium kids.

You are exaggerating. There some English medium kids. But no way it makes 50% of the radicals. Probably doesn't even makes 10%

Militants kill themselves with grenade in Bangladesh

As many as eight militants blew themselves up with a grenade north of the Bangladeshi capital rather than surrender, police said on Thursday, the latest clash in the South Asian country that has seen a rise in Islamist violence.

Police urged the militants, holed up in their hideout in Nasirpur, northeast of the capital Dhaka, to give themselves up on Wednesday, but instead they detonated the grenade.

"Up to eight militants, including a female, were killed," Monirul Islam, the chief of police counter terrorism and transnational crime, told reporters.

On Monday, Bangladesh army commandos killed four Islamist militants in the northeastern city of Sylhet during a raid on a building where they were holed up.

On Saturday, six people, including two police, were killed and more than 40 wounded in two bomb blasts near the militant hideout in the Sylhet building.

Islamic State claimed responsibility "for a bombing on Bangladeshi forces in Sylhet", the SITE monitoring service said, citing a report on the militant group's news agency Amaq that appeared to refer to that incident.

Islamic State and al Qaeda have made competing claims over killings of foreigners, liberals and members of religious minorities in Bangladesh, a mostly Muslim country of 160 million people.

The government has consistently ruled out the presence of such groups, blaming domestic militants instead.

Good. As long as they kill only themselves, its a victory. They probably knew what was gonna happen if they surrendered anyway.

I didn't add anything.
They probably edited the original article later after I posted it here.
It still shows up on reprints.

I guess the reason being that you cannot really call an infant a militant.. that was an editorial blunder...

হাসপাতালের তত্ত্বাবধায়ক পার্থ সারথী দত্ত বলেন, “ছিন্নভিন্ন লাশের যেসব অংশ এসেছে তা ময়নাতদন্ত করা হয়েছে। চারটি শিশুর মধ্যে বাকি তিনটির বয়স ২ বছর, ৭ বছর ও ১০ বছর। আর নারী দুজনের একজনের বয়স ২৫ ও অপরজনের ৩৫ বছর। পুরুষটির বয়স ৩৫ বছর। লাশগুলো এখানে আনার দুই একদিন আগেই তাদের মৃত্যু হয় বলে মনে হচ্ছে। পচনও ধরেছে।”

ডাঃ পার্থ সারথি যা লিখেছেন, তাতে কি ইঙ্গিত করলেন? - জঙ্গি অভিযানে নিহতরা অনেক আগেই নিহত হয়েছেন? এই লাশগুলি কি অন্যখান থেকে আনা? আমি মেডিকেল সাইন্সের ছাত্র নই। বিষয়টি সম্পর্কে কারো জানা থাকলে একটু শুনতে চাই।

আরেকটি পয়েন্ট- এখানে ৪টি শিশু হত্যা করা হয়েছে, যাদের বয়স ৩ মাস, ২ বছর, ৭ বছর, এবং ১০ বছর। এরা কি জঙ্গি? এদের কি অপরাধ? এরা কেনো বেঁচে থাকতে পারল না- রাষ্ট্র কি জবাব দিবে এর? (সুইসাইড ভেষ্ট ফাটাইছে এমন গল্প কেহ দিবেন না, প্লিজ)

Hospital Administrator Dr. Perth Sathi Dutta said ,"Autopsy of shredded body parts sent had been carried out, they consisted of four children. Three of them could be identified, ranging from 2, 7 and 10 years old, respectively. The two women were amongst them aged 25 and 35 years and a lone male aged 35. They probably died a day or two earlier, during the operations as their bodies were decomposing.”

According to the report written by Dr. Partha Sarathi, the terrorists killed in this operation were killed much earlier? What does this imply? Were these bodies brought from somewhere else? As I did not study medical science, could anyone, having adequate knowledge enlighten us on this matter?

Another major point- the four children killed as mentioned in the report – were they also terrorists, what was their fault, why were not they allowed to survive, what will be the States explanation? (That suicide vests exploded? These type of stories should not be told by anyone, please)

Are you telling me 3 of the 8 of those killed by their grenade were children?

Comilla's Kotbari Terrorists Den. Operation "Strike Out"
Repeated gunshots,explosions, finally no one found . With whom was the fire fight taking place?

 

[Allah Akbar]

The problem is that force alone cannot solve this problem.

The root cause of extremism (social marginalization, lack of economic opportunities, lack of State control over mosques/madrassas/Jummah khutbaz, etc.) need to be tackled as well. Kinetic Ops + Aggressive De-Radicalization is the key.

The time has been changed. You will see the number of hijab and beard people is rapidly increased. I have never seen them before 10 or 15 years ago.it clearly shows that a massive number of people are become too religious or islamist. Even in the West the right wings are gaining the part of the government. Trump is the example. The world is falling apart

Bangladesh did good..apart from moron who blew up himself and his family
There were no civilian or military casualties.Now they should probe how the militants got that kind of firepower

gotta get back......back to the past......

Nope...4.

The oldest was around 10-12...the youngest 3-6months. How do you reason with this kind of evil and depravity?

The 2nd hideout in Sylhet has also been cleared. 3 terrorists were killed there - 2 men and 1 female.

3rd hideout in Comilla was a miss...they found bombs and bomb making material, but the terrorist had already fled before the security forces launched the operation.
