#1 Does anyone have insight into this case who is not from Bangladesh since private Americans have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending Maj (Lancer) AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed (who claims to have been part of the coup, but not the murders...he was extradited (via a 9th Circuit ruling) from the US, so that says a lot)?

#2 Putting it into real simple terms, Sheikh Mujib was a genuine hero, from what I understand. There were multiple influences on the group who bumped him off, jealousy among them, but I'm guessing it was primarily Pak influence that put together the cabal who killed him. They couldn't come right out and ask to become part of Pakistain again, but they could -- and did -- chill Bangla's relations with India and institute a "forgive and forget" policy toward the collaborators from the 1971 war. Hence the ascendency of the BNP and the loathing with which the ANP leadership, headed by Mujib's daughter, views their political rivals, who're in my opinion damaged goods.
