Bangladesh (AhlulBayt News Agency) - Police have submitted the chargesheet in the case over bombing of a Taazia procession during Ashura a year after the incident.
As many as 10 'operatives' of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) have been named in the chargesheet submitted to Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, court police official Saiful Islam said.
Police officers said the home ministry took two and a half months to approve the chargesheet.
The accused are - Omar Faruk Manik, 28, Hafez Ahsan Ullah Masud, 29, Shahjalal Mia, 38, Chan Mia, 32, Kabir Hossain alias 'Rashed' alias 'Ashik', 28, Masud Rana alias 'Sumon', 24, Abu Sayeed Russel alias 'Solaiman' aka 'Saimon', 22, Md Arman alias 'Monir', 27, Jahid Hasan alias 'Rana' alias 'Musayab', 22, and Rubel Islam alias 'Sajeeb' alias 'Sumon', 22.
Manik, Masud, Shahjalal and Chan Mia are out on bail, according to the chargesheet submitted by Detective Branch Inspector Md Shafiuddin.
Arman, Jahid and Kabir gave confessional statements to the court, police said.
The chargesheet said 'Albani' alias 'Shahadat' alias 'Mahfuz' alias 'Hojja', slain in a so-called gunfight with police, had masterminded the attack along with 'Abdullah' alias 'Alauddin' alias 'Noman' and 'Sayeed' alias 'Hiron' alias 'Kamal'.
On Oct 23 last year, the main procession of Shia Muslims came under a bomb attack during Ashura at Hossaini Dalan's Imambarha amidst a spate of attacks by suspected Islamist radicals.
Two persons martyred and over 100 were injured in the attack.
