Gunshots heard as SWAT resumes strike at Borohat den

Sounds of gunshots were heard as SWAT resumed “Operation Maximus” at the suspected militant den at Moulvibazar’s Borohat this morning.

Police originally cordoned off the duplex building around 1:30am on Wednesday and the team of Special Weapons and Tactics launched an assault codenamed “Operation Maximus” yesterday. Maximus is a Latin term for “greatest”.

Suspected militants at Moulvibazar's Borohat den held their ground by putting up a defiant resistance throughout the day yesterday, forcing police to eventually suspend their operation as soon as darkness fell.
