The suspected members of Ansarullah Bangla Team were caught by the elite police unit during a raid at the suburb area on early Friday. The details were provided in a media briefing at the RAB’s media centre following the arrests. The suspects have been identified as Ammar Hossain, 20, Rasel aka Sajedul Islam Gifari, 24, Md Rabiul Islam aka Nurul Islam, 28 and Md Abdul Malek, 31. RAB said they were planning to kill the editor of a national daily, which published a criticism of hadith, or Islamic tradition, on marriage. The article was published on the newspaper on Jul 28 last year, for which the militants blamed the editor, whose name was left out in the briefing.
