The Bangladesh Police have arrested a wealthy businessman who was a senior member of a banned ISIS group that killed 22 people in the country’s worst terror attack at a popular cafe here.
Imran Ahmed, the owner of a garment factory, and his driver Shamim Mia were arrested near the capital during a raid on Saturday, the elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) said. Ahmed admitted to have funded neo-JMB, which carried out the deadly attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery and Kitchen in Dhaka’s diplomatic zone last year, an RAB spokesman told reporters. He admitted that he helped the terrorist group in procuring weapons and explosives.
