Bangladesh Arrests Another Top Militant Wanted in India


Police in Bangladesh say they have arrested another leading member of Laskhar-e-Taiba, a group suspected of being involved in last year's deadly terror attacks in Mumbai, India.

Police say they detained Maulana Habibullah Monday in the capital, Dhaka. On Saturday, police arrested Mufti Obaidullah, who they say is a close associate of Habibullah.

Both men are Indian citizens who have been on India's most wanted list. Officials say the men entered Bangladesh in 1995 and have been teaching in different Islamic schools since then.

Police say they suspect Habibullah went to Afghanistan more than 20 times when he was living in India. They also suspect he has connections to another militant group, HUJI.

Officials accuse Obaidullah of trying to encourage people for jihad, or holy war.
