"Nearly 20 of the...suspects arrested following the spate of bombings claimed to be militants of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen and said they had acted under the instructions of their mentors," a senior police officer told Reuters on Saturday. Mohammad Mohsin, joint secretary of the home (interior) ministry, told reporters police had recovered 51 unexploded bombs and arrested 126 suspects. The government has long denied that the risk of Islamic militancy in Bangladesh was growing, but Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, who cut short a visit to China after the bombings, has now ordered a crackdown on militants. --More 1957 Local Time 1657 GMT
