The cache seized in Gazipur includes three kilograms of gunpowder, one pistol, two country-made shooter guns, one foreign-made shooter gun, 16 bullets, five cartridges and three knives.

Sources said following confessional statement of suspected JMB commander Enayetullah alias Enayet alias Jewel alias Walid, Gazipur police conducted a raid on a graveyard and found the arms around 11:00pm.

"In a novel way, the weapons were buried in an abandoned grave," says a spot account of the discovery.

The arms haul was made in the wake of reports on arms build-up by the militant outfit around the capital.
