Thursday, 27 November 2014
A delegation of Bangladesh intelligence officials is set to leave Dhaka for New Delhi on Thursday. The tour by the 7-member intelligence team is a follow-up to the Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA) delegation's visit to Dhaka. The 2 neighbouring countries agreed to share intelligence after the alleged involvement of Bangladeshi militants in the October 2 bomb explosions in India's Burdwan town which left 2 killed. The NIA has been investigating Jihadi (Islamist) networks after the explosion in a house in Burdwan in India's West Bengal state. The house, Indian investigators said, had been turned into a factory for making Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) by members of the banned militant outfit, Jam'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). Two suspected militants died in the explosion and their wives, believed also to have been trained by the JMB, were arrested, according to a news agency.
