[ALOCHONA] We are pushed back to the days of Cold War, and Mujib's assasination is now being baldly JUSTIFIED by a certain faction

 
          Larry Lifschultz is a friend whom I knew in the years after the Mujib murder during the time he was doing his research on Bangladesh politics.  I remember mourning Salvador Allende's brutal killing in Chile while Larry was visiting me in London.

> Was the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his

> malice and an act out of sudden fury of some army officers?
>
> Long investigation by veteran US journalist Lawrence Lifschultz has
> made it clear that there was a deep-rooted conspiracy behind the dark
> episode of August 15.
>
> Lifschultz in a number of investigative reports published in
> newspapers made it clear that Khandaker Moshtaque and a quarter of US
> embassy officials in Dhaka were closely involved with the small
> section of army officers in the August 15 coup.
>
> At long last, Lifschultz disclosed the name of his "very reliable
> source", the then US ambassador in Dhaka Eugene Booster with whom he
> has maintained close communication for the 30 years.
>
> Booster repeatedly objected to the conspiracy leading to the August
> 15 assassination, even issued written instruction in this regard, but
> failed to prevent the then station chief Philip Cherry of US Central
> Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Dhaka office from doing the conspiracy.
>
> Lifschultz's plan to publish an interview of Eugene Booster in this
> regard remained unfulfilled as Booster passed away on July 7 last.
>
> The new-born Bangladesh could not save herself from the wrath of then
> foreign secretary Henry Kissinger who could never forget that
> Bangladesh was born in opposition to his suggestion.
>
> Along with Salvador Allende of Chile and Taiyoo of Vietnam,
> Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was in Kissinger's political
> vendetta.
>
> What USA started during the Liberation War in 1971 with attempt to
> split the Awami League using Khandaker Moshtaque and his accomplices
> continued after the independence following a direct US instigation,
> resulting in the carnage on August 15, 1975.
>
> On basis of his 30 years' investigation that included interviews with
> the US sources, Moshtaque and others concerned, Lifschultz has
> written a series of that tale.
>
> The first part of his four reports is published today.
