03. Cops in southwest in suicide squad scare
OUR CORRESPONDENT, Khulna
THE police stations and police outposts in the south western region
in the country have been put on alert against the backdrop of
formation of a suicide squad comprising the widows of some members of
underground parties who were killed in crossfire by law enforcers and
seizure of huge explosives and ammunition by the Indian Border
Security Force.
Intelligence sources said the BSF men seized 2 sacks full of
explosives and ammunition from a bordering village, DNC, under
Lalgola thana in Murshidabad district of West Bengal in India.
The Bengali newspapers published from Kolkata in their January 17
issues said two people were trying to trespass into Rajshahi district
of Bangladesh while the BSF men chased them and they fled away
leaving the sacks, the sources added.
The sources said the sacks contained 325 grams of RDX, 198 electronic
detonators, 47 power cells, 2 automatic revolvers and bullets which
were submitted to Lallbag thana in Murshidabad district. More
explosives may enter into Bangladesh because 198 electronic
detonators will need more than 325 grams of RDX, according to the
intelligence.
The police said they have taken the matter seriously as they have
information that the underground parties are getting united and
planning assault on the members of the law enforcing agencies to
destabilise peace in the country. Besides, there are reports that
some underground party-men are working on uniting the widows of the
killed party-men to form a suicide squad that will attack on the
police officials in the guise of visitors, the police said.
Meanwhile, the police nabbed two members of the so-called suicide
squad, Rina Begum and Rashida Begum, at Nehalpur village under Rupsha
upazila in Khulna district. The arrested women confessed their
involvement with the squad and disclosed names of some of their
fellows.
The police said they keep an eye on any dispatch of explosives as a
gang in Jhinaidah district was reportedly importing bombs. Police
recovered 4 sacks of explosives from Kushtia district, a few miles
away from Jhinaidah district, in December.
A top official of the Khulna police told New Age that kept watching
over the entire situation.
