JMB issues death threat to 6 journos in Rajshahi


Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) threatened six journalists of Rajshahi on Wednesday saying they are creating obstacles to establishing Islam.

Local newspaper Sonali Sangbad received a letter, claiming to be from JMB, on Wednesday that gave death threats to the journalists.

The letter threatened local correspondent Jahangir Alam Akash of the Sangbad, Anisuzzaman of Janakantha, Bulbul and Tanjibul of Jugantor, Mahtab Chowdhury of Sonali Sangbad and Rajshahi correspondent Anwar Ali Himu of The Daily Star.

The letter published yesterday on Sonali Sangbad said action will be taken against these journalists who always write against JMB and the people concerned have been given directions to take necessary steps against these journalists.

However, local journalists suspect Ahle Hadith of Rajshahi to be behind the death threats.
