The Daily Star reports Abul Hashem was captured when he emerged from a Pakistani mosque and asked for directions to Karachi.^[7] According to the Daily India:

"A Pakistani intelligence officer captured him when he was again trying to enter Pakistan from the Afghan city of Jalalabad in 2001,"

Repatriation

The Miami Herald reported on December 17, 2006 that Hashem was repatriated to Bangla Deshi custody.^[6]

Bangladeshi detention

Qatari newspaper The Peninsula quotes an unnamed Bangladeshi Police official, stating:^[8]

• “A magistrate of a special court has given him one-month detention late Friday for suspected anti-state activities.”
• “During this time we will investigate whether he has any connection with international or local militant groups.”
• “He went to Pakistan in late 1998 with a three-month tourist visa but overstayed there for more than two years before he was arrested by American intelligence officers.”
