AS IT IS 2016-06-19 Police: ‘Important’ Arrest Made in Bangladesh 孟加拉国警方逮到一条“大鱼”！

Police in Bangladesh have arrested an Islamist militant¹ who is suspected of attacking a publisher last year.

Police described the arrest as an important breakthrough in their investigation² of recent violence.

Sumon Hossain Patwari, 20, is accused of being involved with an attack last October on publisher Ahmed Rashid Tutul and two writers. They were shot and stabbed in the office of a publishing house in Dhaka.

Police said three men carried out the attack.

Patwari is a member of the Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) militant group, police said. The ABT is banned in Bangladesh.

The head of the police force’s anti-terrorism office told reporters Patwari admitted that he hacked⁴ Tutul three times during the attack.

Police have arrested thousands of people since Friday because of a series of violent attacks. The victims include bloggers, Christians⁶ and Hindus.

The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for more than 20 of the killings⁷.

In the past week, Islamic State militants⁸ have claimed responsibility for the deaths of a Hindu religious worker, a Hindu religious leader and a Christian⁵ businessman. All three were hacked to death.

A Muslim woman also was stabbed and shot dead. She was the wife of an official involved in anti-terrorism operations.

Bangladesh officials continue to state there are no foreign terror groups operating in the country. Instead, they blame home-grown militants and the political opposition⁹ for the violence.
