Bangladesh probing background of NY terror suspect

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - Police say they are investigating whether a Bangladeshi man charged with trying to blow up the Federal Reserve building in New York had connections with radical groups in Bangladesh.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police official Monirul Islam says detectives on Saturday will visit North South University in Dhaka where Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis studied before going to the United States.

They will interview teachers, classmates and school officials.

Detectives have already visited Nafis' village, where they found no evidence of connections with radical groups.
