Bandarban Dhaka: The Rapid Action Battalion personnel of Bangladesh have arrested nine members of the terrorist group Jamaatul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya from Bandarban, media reports said on Monday.
The arrested people included a training commander.
The RAB also seized a huge cache of arms and ammunition during an operation in Bandarban’s Tonkabaty on Sunday night, ANM Imran Khan, deputy director of RAB, said in a statement as quoted by bdnews24.
