A Dhaka court today placed a member of a gang -- linked to the trafficking of 26 Bangladeshis killed in Libya on May 28 -- on a three-day remand. Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yasir Ahsan Chowdhury passed the order after detectives produced Md Kamal Hossain before his court with a seven-day remand prayer. On May 28, 38 Bangladeshis and some Africans were held hostage by human traffickers in Libya. At one stage, the trafficking gang fired shots, leaving 26 Bangladeshis dead. With Kamal Hossain, a total of 39 people including Kamal Uddin alias Haji Kamal, the ring leader of the human trafficking gang, were arrested so far in 22 cases filed across the country over human trafficking to Libya.
