An explosives expert and the bomb supplier for Dhaka Gulshan café attack [July 1, 2016], Sohel Mahfuz, was arrested along with three other accomplices in the bordering Shibganj upazila (sub District) of Chapainawabganj on July 8, reports Daily Star. “We arrested him at a mango orchard around 2:45am," Chapainawabganj Superintendent of Police (SP) TM Mujahidul Islam told local reporters. Sohel, who played a key role in organising banned terror outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) both in Bangladesh and India's West Bengal, was a most wanted militant in both the countries. Also known as Nasrullah in Indian militant circle, he is said to be the ‘ameer’ of West Bengal unit of JMB. One of the prime accused in the October 2, 2014 Burdwan blast case, he had INR 1 million bounty on his head. The three other arrestees are Jamal alias Mostofa (34), Hafijur Rahman alias Hasan (28) and Jewel alias Ismail (26).

Bomb experts said that the deadly explosive Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), used by terrorists in Paris, Brussels and London attacks, has of late become Neo-Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (Neo-JMB)’s explosive of choice in Bangladesh, reports The Daily Star on July 9. The experts said they had found evidence of its use in militant dens in Rajshahi, Jhenidah and Moulvibazar. The trace of the easy-to-make TATP, known as "the mother of Satan”, was found in surgical belts militants use these days instead of suicide belts, and in other bombs. It is made using hydrogen peroxide, which is found in products like floor washer, ear cleaner and furniture polish, said the experts. Acetone, another necessary ingredient, can be drawn from nail polish remover and some other beauty products, said an official of the bomb disposal team of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police. Despite the risks involved in handling TATP, Neo-JMB militants use it for several reasons: their supply of gel explosives from a neighboring country had been cut off by law enforcers; TATP can be prepared with ingredients of some products available in shopping malls; most scanners cannot detect its presence and its destructive capacity is huge, said another official wishing anonymity. “Only 300gm of TATP can kill everyone in a 10-meter radius,” said the explosive expert.

Counter terrorism officials said that militants have started using encrypted language to communicate among them, reports Dhaka Tribune on July 19. Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit’s (CTTC) Deputy Police Commissioner Abdul Mannan said: “Terrorists have begun using encryption to foil efforts by law enforcement to understand their plans. They regularly change the coding language that they use. They use them to encrypt messages sent across messaging apps. We have been able to decipher some of their messages after interrogating captured terrorists.” Arabic words are quite common in the code language used by terrorists.
