Bangladesh on Wednesday launched a hunt for the survivor of a police raid on an extremist hideout which killed nine suspected Islamists who claimed to belong to the Islamic State group.
Investigators hope the escaped extremist and another man who was arrested during the major gunfight in Dhaka yesterday will shed light on the group's proclaimed ties with the ISIS.
"We've alerted all checkpoints in the capital in a bid to arrest him (the escapee)," deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Masud Ahmed said.
