Moslehuddin hiding in India-Nepal border area?

Moslehuddin, one of the main accused in the Bangabandhu Murder Case, is hiding somewhere in India-Nepal border areas, BBC said last night quoting the Indian Intelligence Bureau.

A high official of the Bureau told BBC's Calcutta correspondent that they had "specific information" that he was hiding in the area.

The BBC monitored in Dhaka said that the Bureau started searching for activists of a "terrorist" organisation named Laskar-e- Taiyeeba following the arrest of a "terrorist", Mohammad Asgar, last month.

A total of 11 activists of the organisation have so far been arrested in five Indian cities, the BBC said. One of them, Abu Nazir, confessed to the Indian police that they had plotted to "blow up US consulates in India".

Of the eleven, four were arrested in Shiliguri. The Bureau officials told BBC that one of them confessed to police that he knew Moslehuddin and saw him several times.

Earlier, some Calcutta-based newspapers had reported that Moslehuddin was staying with guerillas of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA).

But the ULFA chief denied the allegation terming it "baseless". The Bureau now says, Moslehuddin is not staying with ULFA but with another extremist group.
