London, Apr. 26 (ANI): Fifty-five-year-old Golam Mostafa, a restaurant owner in Birmingham, has been arrested in Bangladesh. In Britain, he has already been accused of heading a terror cell.

According to The Sun, British police are probing him for money laundering and frozen his bank accounts.

The terror cell he is accused of running was part of the Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami militant group.

Its chiefs - closely linked to al-Qaeda and the Taliban - support bin Laden"""s fatwa demanding the murder of all Americans and Jews, The Sun reports.

Mostafa"""s arrest is his second since returning to Bangladesh.

He had barely arrived when cops found guns, ammunition and books on bomb making at his home in Sylhet.

He was jailed for 17 years but launched an appeal - which saw him freed on bail.

Bangladesh police chief Shahidul Hoque said Mostafa's arrest was based on a fresh report of extremism. (ANI)
