Islamic militants have threatened to kill Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and blow up a high-security jail in northeastern Chittagong city if their associates are not released from the prison within a month.
The jailer of the prison in Chittagong port city received a letter containing the threat, with its sender calling himself a member of the outlawed Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), the 'Daily Star' newspaper reported.
"She (Hasina) survived this year's August 15 but she will not be alive in future as she will also be blown to smithereens," the letter said in an oblique reference to August 15, 1975 when her father and the country's founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated along with most of his family members, according to the report.
