Top cleric held in Bangladesh for bomb blasts
(DPA)

22 August 2005 



DHAKA - A prominent cleric in Bangladesh was arrested on Monday for his
alleged role in the August 17 bomb attacks across the country which killed
two people and injured 200, officials said.


The cleric, identified as Maulana Fariduddin Mahfuz, was arrested at the
airport in Dhaka as he prepared to board a flight to Dubai.

Mahfuz, who once headed the state-run Islamic Foundation, is accused of
trying to flee the country after intelligence agencies unearthed proof of
his involvement in the series of cross-country explosions which triggered
nationwide panic.

The foundation publishes books and organizes seminars on Islam besides
running the biggest mosque in the country.

Government sources claimed Mahfuz had strong ties with the banned militant
group Jamiat ul Mujahideen which has been blamed for the bombings in cities
and towns across the country.
