Daily Star reports that Bangladesh is looking to set up Joint Working Groups (JWG) with a number of countries including the United Kingdom and United States for tackling terrorism, money laundering and human trafficking through sharing of information and counter-terrorism training. The Government is scheduled to hold a meeting on April 11 (today) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to finalise its strategy to form a JWG on Counter Terrorism with the British Government. According to the report, the proposal for setting up a JWG had been made by the UK Government during the caretaker Government's regime. Bangladesh Home Ministry officials said they would also hold a meeting on April 27 to finalise a strategy for a JWG with the US. Gradually, the Government will form JWGs with Australia and Russia too, the report added.

HuT in its different publications being distributed among youths is trying to teach them that jihad or military programme or armed struggle is a must to establish the rule of Islam. The outfit campaigns for armed struggle using the verses of the holy Quran. "… [if anyone] leaves jihad or armed struggle, they shall not be accepted to Allah as a Momen (devout)," reads a publication of HuT titled "Islamer Prokrito Salah" (Real advice of Islam). In the book, the HuT says Muslims as a whole are a military nation. The whole nation is a military force; each and every Muslim is a soldier, a Mujahid (Holly fighter) and a warrior. "The training of this military force is called Salah," the book reads.

On April 17, Police arrested 31 Hizb-ut Towhid (HuT) militants, including its Kushtia regional chief, and seized books and leaflets on Jihad from the Pather Disha office at Bara Bazaar in Kushtia town, while they were holding a secret meeting, reports Daily Star.

Press Trust of India reports that Akbar Hossain Khan, a Field Officer with the National Security Intelligence, was arrested on April 19 in connection with the April 2004 seizure of 10 truckloads of arms meant for the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). Bangladesh authorities have revived investigations into the seizures case recently. A Criminal Investigation Department official said that Akbar Hossain Khan "is now being interrogated after he was remanded in custody for two days under a court order following his arrest." The investigations have revealed that Hossain had hired the 10 trucks under a fake name to carry the weapons. Investigators had earlier questioned 26 Navy officials, who were serving at that time in Coastguard on deputation. Officials said there was a deliberate attempt on the part of the then administration under former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led government to suppress facts in the case.
