Burdwan bombers were working on rocket launchers

The terror group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) was planning to make rocket launchers with lathe machines, using designs downloaded from the internet on mobile phones, counter-terror agencies investigating the October 2 blast at Burdwan in West Bengal have uncovered.

Two alleged Bangladeshi bomb makers — Shamim Shakil Ahmed and Svopan Mondal — died in the explosion.

Abdul Hakim — also injured in the blast — confirmed that the entire group, including the two dead, belonged to the JMB, a terror outfit linked to the banned Jamaat-e-Islami that is bitterly opposed to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Hakim, however, refused to give out further details, saying he didn’t trust the Indian police.

Ahmed’s wife Rumi Bibi stated that the group was trying to reproduce the weapons using a lathe machine, investigators said.

Photos of rocket launcher designs and projectiles were found in the records of mobile phones destroyed in the blast, sources added.
