Monirul said police are yet to find any evidence that shows women joined “Neo JMB” on their own will.
Terming the incident of a suspected female militant blowing herself up “exceptional”, the CTTC chief said she might have done it “out of frustration”.
The female militant suspect Shakira tried to detonate her suicide vest in the midst of law enforcers during a police raid at a hideout of militant outfit “Neo JMB” in Ashkona of Dhaka’s Dakkhin Khan on December 24. But she ended up blowing herself up seriously injuring her daughter.
Shakira first married Iqbal, father of her four-year-old daughter Sabina. After Iqbal died of cancer, she married Suman, a suspected militant, who according to their family sources was arrested in the past, the counterterrorism chief said.
The law enforcers are yet to know the real name of Suman, he added.
