It is now revealed by eye-witness account of a surviving army officer that the murder campaign was initiated by a group of about 12-14 young people who arrived at the Peelkhana Durbar Hall in an arms loaded pick-up van NOT belonging to the BDR. It is also clear the whole episode of the officers' massacre was completed in about 1-2 hours and that delaying tactics were then adopted to bury or hide most of the dead bodies and for the ring leaders to escape. There are of course hundreds of questions that need answers for proper investigations, but the central question is the true identity of the above gang of assassins. Were any or all of them BDR soldiers or a 'commando group' trained and operated by an external agency like R&AW or MOSSAD? There is little doubt that this group is the core of the murderous operation and that it carried out its assigned task very successfully. This was no ordinary operation; it must have been carried out by a highly trained, professional group as portrayed in many Hollywood films. If we assume that it was an 'outside job', then it would be wrong to exclude R&AW and/or MOSSAD as possible masterminds of this operation. Both these organizations have the motives, conspiratorial, organisational and technical capabilities and resources for this type of commando operation. They also have the past experience of planning and executing 'commando operations' in other countries. Bangladesh is an easy target for them, because there is no shortage of local accomplices in exchange of money or other 'benefits'.
According to a report in the Telegraph (Calcutta), the Indian government is ready to send 'peace-keepers' into Bangladesh if the government requests for such'help' (http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090227/jsp/frontpage/story_10599074.jsp, February 27, 2009). This sort of Indian offer for 'help' looks su**ious since Bangladesh does not need any help from Indian military to solve its internal problems. It is also strange that despite the US support to Hasina government's handling of the Peelkhana crisis, one Indian report suggests that 'the US too is encouraging India to play a "stabilising role" in the region' (http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090301/jsp/frontpage/story_10608500.jsp, March 1, 2009). Obviously, some media people in India think that Bangladesh is ripe for their military intervention.. But nothing can be further from the truth. Indian military forces are not welcome in Bangladesh under any pretext and any such adventurous move (even if any government is stupid enough to request for such Indian 'help') will be resisted by our people. We are aware of the Indian 'peace-keeping' role in Sri Lanka.
In conclusion, we hope that Bangladesh authorities (both civil and military) would carry out thorough investigations into the whole conspiracy against the country's sovereign existence (not only against the BAL government as some quarters want us to believe or against the army). It is a crime against Bangladesh itself, and should be treated as such. The investigations must be based on concrete evidences and facts, to find out the truth, to expose the traitors, foreign agents and infiltrators (even if some of them are powerful), and to punish the culprits. No conclusions should be to drawn to fit into some pre-conceived hypothesis or on the 'advice' of some foreign agencies. We do not want any 'show trial' as happened in the past, but a genuine dispensation of justice.
