Bangladesh launched a major hunt to nab terrorists responsible for the bomb blasts at Northeastern town Sylhet. Over 1000 security forces laid siege to a house suspected of harboring 9 terrorists of a banned Islamic group Jamat ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) including their leader Shayekh Abdur Rahman. Hundreds of JMB and Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) have been detained since the bomb blasts including top JMP leader Hafiz Mahmud. The occupants of the besieged house have not surrendered.
