Police in Bangladesh have arrested 31 men suspected of plotting a terrorist attack, an officer said yesterday.
Police chief Masudul Haque Nuruzzaman, from Kushtia district 100km (62 miles) west of the capital Dhaka, said the men were members of the Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Among the 31 arrested was the groups chief of the Kushtia district who trained and fought in Afghanistan, said Nuruzzaman.
The arrests were made on Friday during a raid on a meeting. We have intelligence to suggest they were preparing an attack.
Jihadi books, leaflets, gunpowder and bomb-making materials were seized during the meeting, he said.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a worldwide group which wants to combine all Muslim countries in a unitary Islamic state or khilafat. The group is banned in some countries but not in Bangladesh.
Last month the police raided an Islamic school, or madrasa, on the remote southern island of Bhola and seized a cache of weapons and explosive devices, as well as jihadi literature urging Muslims to take up arms.
The school is run by the British-based charity Green Crescent, which is owned by Briton Faisal Mostafa, who has since been arrested by the Bangladeshi police.

Oh, I thought it was a VFW meeting. My mistake.
You mean, it wasnt about the American Legion?
:>)
Thank goodness it wasn’t those Amish again.
Nice cover.
The leftists right here in the USA are working on getting Islamic/Muslim schools going with our tax dollars.
Maybe they already have.
Like mosques, Islamic/muslim schools have one purpose.
BTTT
Thank you Jet Jaguar for the bump — global jihad/gwot.
Quick ... someone inform our Homeland Security head that these weren’t returning veterans.//sarcasm off
Every post made is public... so I think DHS knows now.
I saw the headlines. I was expecting a story about returning Iraqi vets who went to a Catholic mass. DHS says these are real bad people.
Were they white male veterans who believe in Christ? I THOUGHT so! Damned tax protesting, anti-abortion, Constitutionalists!
By the way, does anyone have any Clearasil for my nose?
I think they are warts. Handling frogs during a spell party around the pot causes this.
On a serious note, how many more mosques and islamic charities have to be exposed before it becomes official policy that they are suspect?
