A large quantity of military-grade explosives and arms was recovered in Bangladesh, near Tripura, and Indian security agencies are in contact with their Bangladeshi counterparts to find out where these explosives were planned to be used, sources said.
Bangladesh’s Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit reported on Monday that they seized a large cache of military-grade explosives and ammunition in the Satchhari National Park in Habiganj, four kilometers from the Indo-Bangladesh border in Tripura.
“Around 15 rocket-propelled grenades (RPG), 510 rounds of machine gun ammunition and 25 boosters, which are used as a propelling charge in RPG launchers, were found during the special drive at a place that is around 3-4 Km off the border with Tripura,” a source in the Indian security grid said.
In a recent report to the government, India’s intelligence agencies stated that terror outfits like Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) have been planning terror attacks not only in Bangladesh but also in India.
