Days after the Dhaka cafe siege and the terror attack on the Eid gathering, Bangladesh's elite anti-crime force conducted a search in the city of Bogra to locate militant training camps and also promised a million Bangladeshi Taka (US $12,800) to any activist in exchange for specific information about the activities of militants.
"If someone wants to return to a normal life from the banned outfits and provide us information about his fellow militants, he will be given Taka 1,000,000 and all support for his social rehabilitation," the Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Benazir Ahmed told a media briefing at Bogra.
A total of 32 people, including seven suspected terrorists, were killed in the two incidents on July 1 in Dhaka and on July 7 in northern Sholakia during the country's biggest gathering to mark the Muslim Eid holiday.
