According to a report published in the Time in its June 16, 2003 issue, Islamist extremists in Bangladesh may be attempting to make a radioactive "dirty" (nuclear) bomb. The report said that police had arrested four suspected members of a militant Islamist group, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM), on May 30 from a house in the northern village of Puiya. It recovered from them a football-size package, which was later found to be uranium manufactured in Kazakhstan besides 23 pages of documents describing how to manufacture bombs. However, Government officials are still not sure who was behind the smuggling of uranium. The village of Puiya is reportedly known for it sympathies to the Al Qaeda and recently, 17 suspected Islamist militants were arrested from there for distributing posters and tapes featuring Osama bin Laden.
