COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH - Bangladesh police said on Sunday that they have arrested the brother of a notorious insurgent leader whose organisation has been blamed for murders and drug trafficking in sprawling Rohingya refugee camps.
The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army militant group has been accused of assassinating political opponents, running narcotics and instilling a climate of fear in the camps. He was caught in a camp near the coastal city of Cox's Bazar with"arms and drugs", the battalion said in a statement. Ali's capture is the most high-profile arrest of an Arsa member since the group was accused of murdering influential Rohingya community leader Mohib Ullah in September last year, and killing seven others at an Islamic seminary soon after.
