Lists of the deported from Singapore
Bangladesh authorities say 14 of its nationals deported from Singapore are being held over links to a group blamed for attacking secular writers, reports BBC.
The men were part of a larger group of 26 construction workers who were expelled from Singapore last year for supporting armed jihadist ideology.
Singapore announced the news of the deportations earlier this week.
The city state said they were planning to take part in extremist activities elsewhere and shared jihadist material.
A 27th man believed to be part of the same cell remains in detention in Singapore after he was arrested for attempting to flee, following the arrests of the others.
