AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed, condemned to death for killing Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family on August 15, 1975, was brought back to the country yesterday, after over a decade on the run in the United States. Immigration police arrested him on his arrival at Zia International Airport (ZIA) at 12:18pm and took him straight to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka. From there, the ex-army major who was tried in absentia for his part in the gruesome August killings was sent to Dhaka Central Jail.The US Homeland Security got him on board a flight to Dhaka after a district court in Los Angeles on June 14 ruled that it could not overturn an immigration judge's order for his deportation. The immigration case dragged on for years as he appealed the deportation order issued against him in 2002. On February 27, a judge in the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco allowed the order to stand. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested Mohiuddin at his house in Los Angeles on March 13. Since then, the government has been after bringing him back to the country.
