A team of Bangladesh Army and US Central Intelligence Agency (FBI) have already

visited the data centre and praised the initiatives, according to officials.

Regarding the use of IED by militant outfits, BDU officials said three homegrown
militant outfits – Huji, JMB and Neo JMB – were mainly found to use the IED and
bombs.

But all of the IED's were prepared by the militant outfit watching different tutorials and
videos and the elements were also collected from a local source, they said.

For this reason, the data centre is also keeping the updated data of the country's chemical
traders and which type of chemicals they are selling so that it did not goes to any wrong
hands.

Abdul Mannan, deputy commissioner of special action group of CTTC unit, told The
Daily Star that they are working to turn these bomb data centre into an institute, from
where the officials working in law enforcement agencies can receive training.

"We have also plan to share intelligence and dataset with developed countries so that the
people from the abroad can also get the scope to have training from the centre," he added.

Frustration grows in BNP grassroots

They wait for top leaders’ decision on way forward

The BNP, out of power for the longest period since its inception four
decades ago, is now in a quandary over whether to run in the next
election after a movement or without one. 

Some top leaders, like the grassroots, believe there is no alternative to

launching a fierce movement to force the government to hold a free and
fair election.

For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel.

Some others, however, think that might not be plausible given the waning
strength of the organisation. The party should rather focus on talks with
the government and other stakeholders on how to ensure a level-playing
field for all parties for the polls.

Meanwhile, the grassroots are frustrated because they have no clue

about what the party is thinking even though the election is only around
two years away -- in 2023.

"A free and fair election is not possible under this government and it is
now clear to the world. So, in my view, there is no way but to launch a
movement," Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu, BNP organising secretary, told
The Daily Star yesterday.
