Condemned killer of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman--retired army major AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed was supposed to be brought back to Dhaka today but latest reports say his trip has been delayed. Mohiuddin was expected to travel to Dhaka via Bangkok but Bangladesh Ambassador in Bangkok Shahed Akhter told The Daily Star over telephone last night that he had no knowledge of Mohiuddin's whereabouts. | "But the Rab Federal Protective Service assures me they'll be along shortly, after a brief stop at the docks and dinner with a doctor friend of theirs." |
The comments contradicted earlier information from the home ministry, where a source quoting the foreign ministry said Mohiuddin had arrived at Bangkok Airport yesterday morning and was to be flown to Dhaka today onboard a Thai Airways flight. "There was an indication of deporting him today, but we've no confirmation from the US authorities," acting Foreign Secretary Touhid Hossain told UNB last night. He could not say about the exact date of Mohiuddin's arrival in Dhaka. "What I can say is that he has not departed for Bangladesh today," he said.
A US diplomat told UNB that he had no reason to believe that he is coming today. "He will be arrested on a pending warrant and be sent to jail soon after arrival," Home Secretary Abdul Karim told The Daily Star yesterday, adding that all necessary directives were given to law enforcement agencies. |
