If all 12 militants had got down from the van at once they would have tried to take them all. Further information on their plan can be known after arresting the miscreants involved in the operation.” CTTC chief Asaduzzaman said both the convicts were top level militants of Ansar-al-Islam who were arrested by CTTC in 2016. “Arresting them again is equally important to us as before,” he added. Replying to another question he said “We are maintaining the highest alert to arrest them but I don’t believe there is any such word as ‘Red Alert’ in police jargon. All the points have been alerted to ensure the militants cannot leave the country.” He said no new militant outfit was involved in Sunday's incident . On Sunday, two members of the banned militant outfit Ansar al-Islam, who were sentenced to death in Jagriti Publications publisher Faisal Arefin Dipan murder case, escaped from the premises of Dhaka Chief Judicial Magistrate Court (Dhaka CMM Court).
