Good. Keep it up Bangladesh.

Watching this on TV atm...was waiting for the police to confirm via press briefing, which they have done now.

Police saying the photo they circulated to the media more than a month ago matches perfectly with one of the dead scumbags.

I wonder if someone tipped the cops off because of the reward on offer.

One more to go...Major Zia, kill him and this 'cell' of jihadi bastards will have been completely eliminated.

On a side note...they need to come up with better names for these ops - 'Hit Strong 27'

There is another one, Salahuddin, chief of the original JMB... He was previously under the police custody but succeeded to flee from a prison van...

There is another one, Salahuddin, chief of the original JMB...

He is likely inside Bangladesh currently?

 

[extra terrestrial]

He is likely inside Bangladesh currently?

Not sure... There was a report that some top JMB personnel have fled to India...

 

[Nilgiri]

Not sure... There was a report that some top JMB personnel have fled to India...

Yes I read this too. Some Bangladeshi members were caught in Assam and may provide some intelligence....WB is a real mess and will have to be sifted and combed through if he is there.

succeeded to flee from a prison van...

must have had some insider help.

Bangladesh: Dhaka cafe attack ‘mastermind’ among 3 extremists killed in raid

Bangladesh police stormed a militant hideout just outside Dhaka on Saturday, shooting dead three Islamist extremists, including the suspected mastermind of an attack on a cafe that killed 22 mostly foreign hostages last month.

“We can see three dead bodies here,” senior police officer Sanwar Hossain told AFP.

“Tamim Chowdhury is dead. He is the Gulshan attack mastermind and the leader of JMB (Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh),” he said, referring to a Bangladeshi-Canadian citizen believed to be behind the attack on the cafe in Dhaka.

Police earlier staged an hour-long gun battle with extremists at Paikpara in Narayanganj, a city 25 kilometres (16 miles) south of Dhaka, Hossain said.

Bangladesh national police chief AKM Shahidul Hoque told AFP police were “99% sure” that Tamim Chowdhury was in the hideout when police launched the assault.

Chowdhury, who returned from Canada in 2013, has been leading the banned JMB, which police say carried out the cafe attack in which 18 foreigners were shot and hacked to death in the country’s worst terror attack.

Not to throw water on your happiness, but as the old saying goes - 'pics or it didnt happen'.

Staging stuffs up is a ploy of our police/RAB for ages. I personally smell bullshit written all over it - but I would love to be proved wrong any day of the week.

 

[kobiraaz]

Said it before and will write it again

Bangladesh is no place for terrorists. Any adventure from them is temporary. Anyway, People like Tamim should be caught Alive not Dead.

 

[Russell]

Some one said pics or it didn't happen....

Here you are...hopefully you can find previous pics and see the similarities. Proven wrong on Saturday...not sure about the rest of the week
