Seven firearms have allegedly gone missing from the strongroom of the burnt cargo complex at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Assistant Manager (Security) Jamal Hossain filed the GD on behalf of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, which is in charge of ground handling at the Dhaka airport. A fire broke out at the Shahjalal Airport import cargo complex on the afternoon of Oct 18. News of the break-in at the vault and potential theft of firearms has once again sparked security concerns. However, the next morning, around 7am, I came to know through the duty officer of the Biman Security Branch, Jahangir Alam Khan, that the vault of the strongroom was not locked.
