Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) personnel have found huge amount of arms and ammunition at Satchhari National Park in Habiganj.
Some 184 rocket launchers with 153 chargers, some anti-tank and mortar shells and many other weapons were recovered by RAB-9 personnel.
Seven bunkers were found during the drive, Wing Commander ATM Habibur Rahman, Director of Legal and Media Wing of RAB, said.
He told the Dhaka Tribune: “The RAB members have recovered some 184 high explosive anti-tank rockets and 153 charges so far. They are searching for more ammunitions.
We are trying to collect more information in this regard. But, as it is a remote area, it will take some times to get the accurate information,”he added.
The drive to recover the arms and ammunition was still going on till filing the report at 2:20pm.
RAB 9 and RAB headquarters are jointly launching the operation led by Lt Col Ziaul Ahsan, director of RAB’s intelligence wing.
They suspect a huge amount of explosives might be found in the area, which the dog squad is giving a notion about.
Habibur Rahman said: “Although we are thing that one-third of the arms and ammunitions have already been recovered, we are suspecting that more will be found in the drive. We are also investigating the possibility of damping the arms by any Indian terrorist group.”
