The BNP-led government was engaged in an apparently unprecedented level of corruption towards the end of its tenure, said a US diplomatic cable leaked recently.
"Greed and the need to finance upcoming political campaigns are driving the upswing," read the cable US ambassador Patricia Butenis sent to Washington on August 24, 2006, nearly two months before the end of the five-year tenure of the BNP-led government.
Anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks published the cable titled "Last call! Corruption at the end of the BNP government" on August 30.
