Dhaka : Bangladesh government has alerted its bureaucrats about a threat of abduction by outlawed Islamist outfit Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to win freedom for its jailed members.
“After getting reports of possible threats, we have alerted the officials,” Home Secretary Abdul Karim told a private news agency.
A notice titled ‘Security Threat-JMB’ was circulated yesterday among the senior officials and has been sent to all secretaries, BDnews24 reported.
The Home Ministry in the security alert for the secretariat asked the bureaucrats to be cautious while travelling as the militants could kidnap them.
“It has been learnt that the JMB members in guise of taxi drivers or with the help of the drivers are planning to kidnap high officials to bargain for the release of some JMB (highest policy making) Shura members arrested recently,” the notice said.
It warned that JMB members had “already started monitoring movement of some top officials.”
