DHAKA, Aug 24: The law-enforcing agencies investigating last week’s blasts detained four more people at the Zia International Airport on Wednesday. Police said the suspects, whose identities were not disclosed, were offloaded from two flights as they were going outside the country.
One of the suspects was going to Saudi Arabia while the rest were on their way to Malaysia.
The four were taken straight away to the agency office in the city.
Police said they were detained for their suspected involvement in the countrywide bomb blasts on August 17.
The airport police also arrested a former president of the Sylhet district unit of Ahle Hadith Andolan, Abdus Sabur Mithu, in the airport area on Tuesday.
