India carried mutiny mayhem: Nizami

Look at the face of the nation and Oishee---the daughter of Shaheed Major Kazi Ashraf as in the daily Star @ 6-3-09. [See archive at The Daily Star : Carnage plotted at least 2 months back]

Looking at that how to relax, then, Halaku till full disclosure of facts are there, and justice applied ?

The 1st credit goes to Nanak for disclosing that (1) Outsider are involved (2) Crores of Taka spent. Any idea whether he has also disclosed the source of above info and related details, if any, to his Govt. or his leader, the PM ? If not, WHY ? Any idea ?? Yet PM is going unabated handing him clean bill of bravery in any opportunity that comes along.

The Daily star reported on 6-3-09 that He (Another investigator) said the suspects being grilled have disclosed that plotters who include outsiders had been motivating the border guards against their commanding officers. Any further light / idea on who are those ???

Sure, full facts will be known after chaps like Touhid are interogated.

Let's wait until Touhid sings, shall we? Then your Govt should make an official statement.
 
A tribute to Col. Gulzar Uddin Ahmed, son of a Liberation War Shaheed, and now himself a Shaheed - a great loss for the people of Bangladesh:

Dhaka sees terror link in border guards' mutiny


Dhaka (IANS): A senior army officer engaged in investigation and nabbing of Islamist militants was among those killed in last month's revolt by Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) troopers, a media report said on Thursday.

Saying that the mutiny bore "the hallmarks of terror attacks", The Daily Star said that one of the brightest army officers killed was Col. Gulzar Uddin Ahmed, "best known for his efficient detection and operations against Islamist militants and terrorists".

Some government officials pointed to "elements of terrorism" in the carnage, but all spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

"A disciplined force cannot take to such brutality. It appears terror elements were at play," an official told the newspaper.

The border guards revolted Feb 25-26 over low wages and poor working conditions. The carnage left 74 people dead.

Col. Ahmed had been engaged in anti-militancy operation for some time during which he had successfully handled many cases of activists of banned outfits, including the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami (Huji).

The newspaper said Col. Ahmed's body had been badly mutilated and was wrongly identified initially. His family has been unable to identify his body.

"His body was found mutilated beyond recognition in a grim discovery that parallels a grisly death fed by deep-seated grudge," the newspaper said.

Sources say the killers smashed his body.

"Some of his relatives were too afraid to see the decomposing, ruined body."

"Those who saw his body said his eyes might have been gouged out; his spinal cord was broken and his body bears the mark of terrible torture. Apparently, he was killed by gunshots," the report said.

A family member said his face was bloated. "It was impossible for anyone to recognise him from seeing that face."

Dwelling on the colonel's family background, the report said the Pakistani occupation force had taken the life of his civil servant father during the War of Liberation in 1971.

Quoting anonymous officials, the report said: "Some believe `terror elements' infiltrated the BDR through the route of recruitment in recent years."


Col. Ahmed was sent on deputation to the elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB). As a RAB officer, his first sensational case was handling the grenade attack on British High Commissioner Anwar Choudhury in May 2004. Mr. Ahmed was a member of the government committee formed to investigate the attacks.

In 2005, Ahmed was appointed the head of the Intelligence Unit of RAB from where he took up several major assignments. Of them, the most important was spearheading the investigation and operation against the Islamist militants and terrorists.

Mr. Ahmed led the drive against Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorists and succeeded in detecting and arresting the dreaded Bangla Bhai, JMB chief Shaekh Abdur Rahman and their armed followers.

He also spearheaded the drive against Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami, one of the largest Islamist militant groups found to be involved in many bomb attacks, including the grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina, now the country's prime minister.

BDR Massacre: Ruling party leader arrested in Bangladesh

President of Bangladesh Awami League City Ward Committee [Dhaka], Haji Torab Ali Akhand has been arrested by the members of Rapid Action Battalion [RAB] on Wednesday evening from a sawmill named Madina Sawmill [which is located near the Bangladesh Riffles headquarters gate number 5] for his involvement in bringing out procession in favor of the killer BDR men during February 25-26 in Dhaka.

Ali is a former Subedar of Bangladesh Riffles and father of Harunur Rashid aka Leather Liton, a top terrorist in Bangladesh. Leather Liton is a former leader of the student wing of Awami League.

It is learnt that, Madina Sawmill owned by Haji Torab Ali was a regular gathering place of BDR men. His son-in-law Rezaul Karim Razu works as a contractor at the BDR headquarters.

Meanwhile, there are indications that a number of front-ranking figures in Bangladesh Awami League may also be arrested soon for their involvement behind the BDR Massacre in Dhaka. State Minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Parliamentary Whip Mirza Azam [brother-in-law of Islamist militancy kingpin Shaikh Abdur Rahman], Haji Mockbull, Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, Abdul Jalil, Shamim Osman and several more are already in the suspect list of the investigators.

There is a specific eye of the investigators on Mirza Azam when the case of murder of Colonel Gulzar Uddin Ahmed turned public. Gulzar, one of the brightest army officers who were killed in the "armed rebellion", is best known for his efficient detection and operations against Islamist militants and terrorists. He was the man behind arrest of Jamaatul Mujahedin kingpin Shaikh Abdur Rahman.

Gulzar was known as one of the brightest army officers of the country. Because of his knowledge about the militants' network, Gulzar was a revered name in the country's law-enforcement and defence agencies.

Gulzar is a legend in the anti-terrorist and anti-Islamist drives. His skill, professionalism, knowledge and sincerity are beyond question. His commitment was unparallel. He was all along a resourceful and professional officer in regards to militancy, terrorism or any heinous acts. He was honest down to the core."

As the Awami League government's explicit commitments include a fight against terrorism and religious extremists, it was expected that the government would benefit from Gulzar's skills and knowledge on the matter. But he was transferred to BDR as the commander of Sylhet Sector at the end of January.

Colonel Gulzar’s voice was last heard by friends and colleagues over cellphone when the killings began inside the Pilkhana Headquarters around 9:00am.

Killers smashed his body. "Some of his relatives were too afraid to see the decomposing, ruined body," says a rescuer.

"Those who saw his body said his eyes might have been gouged out; his spinal cord was broken and his body bears the mark of terrible torture. Apparently, he was killed by gunshots," the rescuer adds.

A family member said his face was bloated. "It was impossible for anyone to recognise him from seeing that face."

On February 25, when the mutiny degenerated into a bloodbath inside the BDR HQ, Gulzar had no time to call his family. He last saw his family members at his Dhaka home earlier that morning.

In a frantic bid to resist the "mutineers", Gulzar called his former colleagues at the Rapid Action Battalion [RAB] repeatedly, seeking help.

Colonel Gulzar’s father Anwar Uddin Ahmed was killed by Pakistani occupation forces during the war of independence of Bangladesh in 1971.

Meanwhile, government is going to remove Home Minister Sahara Khatun from her position soon, for her severe failure in properly handling the BDR Massacre issue. State Minister for Home Affairs, Sohel Taj will also be removed from his post.

There is also indication of change in the Foreign Ministry. Barrister Anisul Islam Mahmud [Member of Parliament] may replace Dr. Dipu Moni. Barr
