A leader of the banned militant outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad (HuJI) has been arrested in Bangladesh, police said.
Md. Ibrahim, 40, was nabbed from Sayedabad area of Dhaka Tuesday night, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Detective Branch (DB) additional deputy commissioner Saidur Rahman.
Detective Branch deputy commissioner Jahangir Hossain Matubbar said that Ibrahim, who recently received terror training abroad, was the chief of the organisation's operations wing.
Details of the arrest will be provided in a media briefing later, said the police official.
On Saturday, three HuJI members were held from Dhaka's Postogola area. Two of them were planning to take training in Pakistan, police said.
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), earlier, arrested some members of the outfit, who were caught with explosives, detonators and other bomb-making materials.
