Police arrested a Bangladeshi national with suspected links to the Pakistan-based outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) at Kamalnagar in Satkhira town in the night of July 22, reports Daily Star. The arrestee, identified as Muhaddis Obaidullah, was produced in a Satkhira court on July 23, which placed him on a 10-day Police remand for interrogation. His arrest followed leads from the arrested Indian national and a key organiser of the LeT, Mufti Obaidullah. Muhaddis is suspected to be an accomplice of Mufti Obaidullah who had taken shelter at his (Muhaddis) house in Satkhira after sneaking into Bangladesh in 1995. "We suspect Muhaddis Obaidullah is a hardcore militant since he had contacts with LeT organiser Mufti Obaidullah and talked to him even two months back,” Satkhira Superintendent of Police S.M. Moniruzzaman said. Muhaddis confessed to the Police that he had come in contact with Mufti Obaidullah while studying at the Sangu Madrassa (seminary) in India for a year.
