[vinnomot] "Hawa Bhaban", Babar, okayed August 21 2004 Grenade Attack on Awami League meeting to kill Sheikh Hasina & other top Awami League leaders said Ex BNP Minister and brother of Maulana Tajul who supplied the Grenade to HUJI leader Mufti Hannan

 

"Hawa Bhaban" (boss was Tarek), Babar, okayed August 21 2004 Grenade Attack on Awami League meeting at Bangabandhu Avenue to kill Sheikh Hasina & other top Awami League leaders said Ex BNP Minister and brother of Maulana Tajul who supplied the Grenade to HUJI leader   Mufti Hannan

 

A Dhaka court Friday (18.01.08) remanded former BNP deputy minister Abdus Salam Pintu for three days for further interrogation in the case involving the grenade attack on an Awami League rally at Bangabandhu Avenue in Aug 21, 2004. Awami League Chief Sheikh Hasina was seriously injured and at least 24 people including senior leader Ivy Rahman were killed in the attack after Hasina addressed the rally.

 

The grenade attack had been carried out with the consent of former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar and 'Hawa Bhaban' of tarek Zia, allegedly the alternative powerhouse of the latest BNP-led coalition government; Pintu was quoted by a CID officer as saying.

 

The officer of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), speaking to bdnews24.com on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to brief the media, said that Pintu had made the disclosure during interrogation.

 

A CID team arrested the former MP for Tangail-2 constituency from Motijheel Thursday night.  The CID officer said they were certain after the arrest of Mufti Hannan and Pintu that the attack on an Awami League rally on Bangabandhu Avenue in 2004 had been aided and abetted by Babar and Hawa Bhaban.

 

To hide the truth, former investigation officer Ruhul Amin, a CID officer, had gone to Pintu's house several times, he said.

 

Babar was involved in the entire process and Pintu would regularly enquire with him about the progress, the CID officer added.

 

Pintu is a cousin of militant leader Moulana Tajul Islam.

 

Allegations are there that Tajul supplied the grenades for the attack on the Awami League rally on August 21, 2004, with the help of Pintu.

 

Harkatul Jihad (HUJI) leader Mufti Hannan in a confessional statement recently named Pintu as the mastermind of the attack.

 

Hannan said the attack was planned at Pintu's official residence in Dhanmondi two days before the incident. Tajul stands accused of supplying grenades for the attack.
