In filmy style, a large group of miscreants intercepted a prison van, opened fire on police, killing a constable, and snatched away three including two death row activists of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in Trishal upazila of Mymensingh this morning.

Police could not arrest the absconding JMB convicts till filing of this report at 3:30pm.

Around 45 minutes after the incident, police seized a black microbus (Dhaka Metro CHA-11-6048) in Shakhipur Upazila of Tangail, which was suspected to be involved with the snatching.

Zakaria Hossain, 29, driver of the microbus, was detained with a pistol, five live bullets and 10 bombs around 11:00am, Tangail Additional Superintendent of Police Hasibul Alam told The Daily Star.

Locals caught Zakaria, hailed from Gomostapur upazila in Chapainawabganj, after its microbus crashed into a CNG-run auto-rickshaw during his attempt to avoid a police check post setup following the incident.

Around two hours later, police detained two more people from Shakhipur suspecting their involvement with the attack, said Mokhlesur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Shakhipur Police Station.

The law enforcers rounded up Nurul Islam Raihan, 35, of Alachpur of Muktagacha in Mymensingh, and Md Rasel, 30, of Kaliakoir upazila in Gazipur, during a combing operation at Taktarchala, our Tangail correspondent reported quoting the official.

The snatched condemned convicts are: Salahuddin alias Salehin, JMB in-charge of Sylhet-Mymensingh region; Mohammad Rakib Hasan Russell alias Hafez Mahmud, Khulna divisional commander of JMB; and Jahidul Islam alias 'Boma' Mizan, an explosives expert of the outlawed group.

The deceased policeman, Atiqul Islam, was posted at Gazipur Police Station, reports our Mymensingh correspondent quoting local police control room.

ATTACK IN FILMY STYLE

The three JMB activists were scheduled to be produced before a court in Mymensingh in connection with a sedition case filed on March 11, 2006.

Salahuddin, Mizan and Russell were kept at three different jails in Kashimpur: Jail-1 and Jail-2 and High Security Jail respectively.

They were picked up between 8:30am to 9:00am, Jamil Ahmed, superintendent of the jail-1, told our Gazipur correspondent.

When the prison van reached Signboard area in Trishal around 10:15am, around 25 to 30 miscreants coming in two microbuses intercepted the van.

"They first tried to intercept our prison van with a truck. As we removed it, there was a microbus," Subedar Habib, who was injured in the attack, told reporters at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH).

At least 10/15 masked men jumped out from the microbus and opened fire on the prison van, said Habib.

"A bullet pierced through the windshield and hit me in the abdomen," he added.

The attackers blasted several bombs.

"They were firing bullets indiscriminately," said constable Sohel Rana, who was hit in the hand.

Badly shot, constable Atiqul Islam died on the spot.

The miscreants took the key from the law enforcers, opened the door of the prison van and took away the three JMB convicts.
The criminals left the scene in a microbus, said Firoz Talukder, officer-in-charge of Trishal Police Station.

Injured Subedar Habib and constable Sohel Rana were rushed to MMCH.

ESCAPING TOWARDS TANGAIL?

As the authorities sent an alarm across the country after the snatching in Mymensingh, law enforcers mounted vigilance in surrounding districts.

A black microbus, while speeding away in Proshika area in Shakhipur Sadar upazila town, hit a three-wheeler around 11:00am.

Alarmed by the incident, police intercepted it and arrested the driver.

Searching the vehicle, police found a pistol, five bullets and 10 homemade bombs.

The law enforcers were conducting combing operation in different jungle areas of Tangail, our correspondent reported.

PROBE COMMITTEE

Home ministry has formed a four-member probe committee with Nazim Uddain Chowdhury, additional secretary of the ministry, as its chief to investigate the incident.

The committee has been asked to submit its report in three-working days, sources at the home ministry said.

The committee will also investigate whether adequate security measures had been taken maintaining the jail code when the condemned prisoners were taken to Mymensingh from Gazipur Jail.

One of the militant terrorists Rakib Hassan finally got killed in encounter.

Rakib killed hours into recapture
No trace of 2 absconding JMB activists; 4 cases filed in Mymensingh, Tangail

Star Online Report

Rakib Hasan Russell alias Hafez Mahmud

JMB militant Rakib Hasan Russell , who was recaptured five hours after he was snatched along with two other JMB convicts from police custody in Mymensingh yesterday, was killed in a 'shootout' with police in Mirzapur, Tangail early today.

The law enforcers have yet to track down the absconding JMB (which stands for Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh) operatives -- Salauddin Ahmed alias Salehin and Zahidul Islam alias "Boma" Mizan -- who face death penalty and life term imprisonment respectively for militant activities.

Though Russell, who is also known as Hafez Mahmud, died around 4:30am, none of his family members contacted police to receive his body till 2:30pm today, our correspondent reports quoting Golam Mostafa, officer-in-charge of Mirzapur Police Station.

Meantime, police in Mymensingh today filed two cases against 16 to 18 people naming six accused -- one for attack on police and murder of a constable and the other under explosives act.

Earlier in Sunday night, Tangail police filed two separate cases -- one under arms act and the other under explosives act -- in connection with recovery of a microbus used in the snatching and recovery of a pistol, bullets and bombs.

In a well-orchestrated plan, an armed gang ambushed a prison van and snatched away the Salahuddin, Rakib and 'Boma' Mizan in Trishal upazila of Mymensingh yesterday.

The attack on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway took place when the van carrying the three was going to Mymensingh to produce them before a court in a sedition case.

While fleeing through Tangail in a three-wheeler, police arrested Rakib in Shakhipur upazila.

'CROSSFIRE'

Around 14 hours into Rakib's arrest, a joint team of police from Mymensingh and Tangail took Rakib to Mirzapur upazila to nab Salahuddin and 'Boma' Mizan, OC Golam Mostafa said.

As they reached in Beltoli Ceramic area around 4:30am, Rakib's cohorts opened fire on the law enforcers in a bid to snatch the JMB man from police, according to him.

In self-defence, the law enforcers shot at the attackers, triggering a 'gunfight', Mostafa added.

Rakib was hit by three bullets during the 'gun battle', was immediately taken to the Mirzapur Kumudini Hospital where on-duty doctors declared him dead, said the OC.

Three police personnel were also injured during the incident and they were rushed to Tangail Police Lines Hospital, he claimed.

Police recovered a gun and three bullets from the spot, the OC added.

A Majlish-e-Shura (highest policymaking body) member of JMB, Rakib was on death row for the murder of Joseph Gani Gomez Mandal, a medicine trader of Melandah in Jamalpur.

After passing Dakhil from a local madrasa, he later studied in Mohammadia Arabia Jatrabari Qawmi Madrasa.

Rakib, who can speak Arabic and Urdu, had dissociated himself from Jamaat after the party had joined a government led by BNP chief Khaleda Zia in 2001.

A private TV channel a few years ago had aired footage of 2003 where Rakib says he had been involved in Shibir before joining JMB.

"As I was not a student, I could not work directly with Shibir. But I worked for a Jamaat candidate in 2001 election," he said in the clip.

Acting on intelligence information and Rakib's confession, Rab in March 2006, cordoned off the JMB chief Abdur Rahman's house in East Shaplabagh in Sylhet, which led to the kingpin's arrest.

AL blames BNP-Jamaat for militants’ snatching
Reported by: UNBconnect

Reported on: February 25th, 2014 12:06:42 am

Dhaka, Feb 24 (UNB) – Awami League leader Dr Hasan Mahmud on Monday alleged that BNP-Jamaat alliance along with an international militant group was involved in the snatching of three convicted members of the banned militant outfit Jama’at-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).



“BNP, Jamaat, JMB and al-Qaeda have been carrying out militant activities to destabilise the country. And the BNP-Jamaat alliance was involved in yesterday’s (Sunday’s) film-style snatching,” the AL publicity and publication secretary said.


Hasan Mahmud, also a former minister, said this while addressing a discussion organised by Bangabandhu Academy at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU).


On Sunday, in a daring terror strike on a prison van militants snatched three convicted members of the banned militant outfit Jama’at-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in Trishal upazila of Mymensingh killing a cop, but one of them was recaptured hours later in Tangail.


About upazila elections, the Awami League leader said BNP leaders are now bragging as they won more seats than that of the AL in the first phase elections.

“They (BNP) have to keep in mind that the polls will be held in five more phases. It’ll be clear whose candidates got more seats only on completion of the elections in all the phases. And then their bragging will vanish in the air,” he said.

Krishak League general secretary Shamsul Haque, among others, spoke at the programme held with Bangabandhu Academy adviser Nazir Mia in the chair.

• JMB is indian creation and operated by borther-in-law of Awami League minister Jahangir Kabir Nanok. Nanok.
• Jahangir Kabir Nanok was sheltered by India from 2007-2009 while army led interim regime in power.
• Then Nanok came back from india worked as an active conspirator for 57 army officer massacre in Philkhana.

JMB pop up whenever india tries to undermine Bangladesh nationalists and tries tag them with false flag "extremist" india created.

Everyone in Bangladesh and outside Bangladesh know about these false flag indian ops designed to deflect pressure from indian subservient Awami League regime. There are clear indication no one buying such indo Awami propaganda.

Incumbents have a lot of explaining to do

THE ambush on a prison van in Trishal on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway and consequent escape of three convicted members of Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh, a religion-based extremist organisation, on Sunday morning seems to have given rise to intense debates and discussion on the possible re-emergence of Islamist militancy — not unjustifiably, one must add. Such debates and discussions could, however, overshadow another major cause of concern, i.e. the not-so-subtle failure of the police to ensure what is essentially a routine transfer of criminals from jail to court and back. According to a report published in New Age on Monday, only four policemen, including the driver, were accompanying the three militant convicts at the time of the ambush, which left one constable dead on the spot and a sub-inspector and another constable with bullet wounds.

Moreover, such slapdash security arrangement for the under-trial accused could appear systemic even, in view of the escape from the courtroom, also on Sunday, of four suspected killers of Jahangirnagar University student Zubair Ahmed, who died in hospital a day after some activists of the Bangladesh Chhatra League, student front of the ruling Awami League, had tortured him on the campus on January 8, 2011, soon after the court had cancelled their bail. According to a report also published in New Age on Monday, the public prosecutor of the case alleged that ‘on the day, no policemen were deployed on court duty.’
Besides, the cause and context of the two incidents could also raise the question if the inadequate security arrangement for the prison van and the courtroom was by design. According to latest reports, quoting the police, one of the JMB members, who had been arrested within five hours of his escape from the prison van, was killed early Monday in ‘crossfire’, which, needless to add, is official euphemism for extrajudicial murder by law enforcers. As for the other incident, given that the accused in the Zubair murder case belong to the Chhatra League, the alleged non-deployment of law enforcers in the courtroom appear too convenient to be called a coincidence.

Overall, the two incidents raise a number of questions that demand credible, and not convenient, explanations from the police and the government. The security failures, as pointed in the media reports, and the contexts, as explained above, seem to indicate that the obvious failures on the part of the police — and, by implication, the government — may have been more than just accident or coincidence. While the fugitives need to be put back behind bars, the government needs to initiate a competent and credible inquiry into both these incidents, identify the source of such grave breach of security and have the people responsible punished. Most importantly, it needs to assure the people that such failures were not part of any covert agenda.
