US, UK to help probe BDR mutiny
Star Online Report
The United States today (Monday) reassured the government of providing assistance for investigating the brutal killings at the BDR headquarters in Dhaka on February 25.
The reassurance came when the US Ambassador in Dhaka James F Moriarty called on Foreign Minister Dipu Moni at her officer this morning.
Talking to reporters, the US envoy said, "It is too early to say which agency will help Bangladesh investigate the incident as the US has so many investigative agencies."
"I will do my best to pass the Bangladesh government request to the US authorities," said the US ambassador.
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni told the reporters that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already made formal request to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard A Boucher for sending FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations) to Bangladesh to investigate the killings.
She said the British High Commissioner in Dhaka who met with her yesterday also assured to assist Bangladesh to investigate the incident.
She also said she had asked the UK envoy for sending Scotland Yard to Bangladesh to investigate the 33-hour mutiny by the disgruntled border guards that left 74 army officials and their spouses, BDR soldiers and civilians dead and 70 other army officials missing.

As I said before involving US or UK by Hasina govt would be another gross mistake. They may have lots of experience and gadgets but their credibility is ZERO.

Army called in to nab BDR fugitives
Deployment ordered for indefinite period
Staff Correspondent
The government yesterday decided to deploy members of the armed forces across the country indefinitely to help law enforcement agencies arrest the absconding rebels of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and recover the missing firearms and ammunition.
The deployment begins today morning in aid of the civil administration under the 'Operation Rebel Hunt' mission, sources said.
A notice was issued by the home ministry in this regard hours after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina held talks with army officers at Sena Kunja at the Dhaka Cantonment yesterday.
The forces will be stationed at district headquarters and carry out operations on the basis of specific information from their intelligence, said sources.
Hasina told the House last night that her government had already assigned members of army, Rab and police to hunt down the absconding rebels.
"They [BDR rebels] must be tracked down," Hasina told the Jatiya Sangsad.
Following the government notice, verbal messages had already been conveyed to the cantonments across the country to prepare the forces for the operation, said sources in the armed forces division.
The forcers were preparing themselves so that they could reach their destinations by today morning, the sources added.
"The operation will continue until its goal is achieved," said a mid-ranking army official wishing anonymity.
"The army will help the law enforcement agencies to arrest the absconding rebels and recover firearms," Deputy Secretary (political) of home ministry, Javed Ahmed told The Daily Star last night.
When asked about the duration of deployment of the armed forces, he said no time limit had been set for it. "They will be withdrawn once the situation comes under control," he added.
A number of BDR personnel have been on the run while many arms and ammunition remain missing since the Wednesday's mutiny at the BDR headquarters.
Meanwhile, the government decided to restructure the probe body formed to investigate the bloody mutiny at the BDR headquarters.
Representatives from the home ministry, armed forces division, Rab and police department will be included in it.
The government is also working on the modus operandi of the proposed special tribunal for trying the people responsible for the massacre.
Meanwhile, around 2:00pm yesterday a Rab-2 team cordoned off Ganaktoli Lane in the capital and searched around 700 houses for firearms, ammunitions and fugitive BDR jawans, said locals.
They detained a man with 30 rounds of bullet at Ganaktoli Lane yesterday. The detainee was Mohammad Yusuf, 35, a resident of the area.
Director of Rab's Legal and Media Wing AK Azad said on government order Rab was conducting a massive drive to capture the rebel BDR jawans since February 26.

Do you see one thing here?The training of army personnel will be hampered because of this important mission.This is the chain reaction of the conspiracy.Now there will be raids,hundreds of cross fire(who knows) and more.

If I were the PM I would let the Army and the RAB jointly capture the rebels.They ARE pissed off mind you.Like the name BTW,Rebel Hunt.
Bringing in the US and UK is a show by Hasina IMO that she is doing something the people doesn't want that.In the end after all it was the RAB who caught the JMB leaders.

I meant to say the conspirators knew these following actions would further weaken army.Army men must be training to sharpen their skills,which will be hampered now.
Off course army is needed to get those murderers.They have the right to take their revenge or whatever you might call.

Indian ploy seem to have caught B'deshi's imagination. Whatever is said linking 'other parties' to the mutiny is Indian ploy and whatever is said linking India to the mutiny is the truth.

That's why they look quite alike,as far as eyes are concerned,(though I can't match faces well).They must be close cousins.
In that case Saber Hossain and others should come under scanner as well.It is common in Bangladesh,family members in different parties to enjoy the benefit of power,no matter who ever rules.
Pathetic Politicians.

Its sad that i have to say B'deshi still are doubting the loyality of each others, BNP whoever they are is the second largest party right now. Everyone might have done lot of things prior to Independance, that was their lookout, view at that point of time, but thats then. Why judge them now based on past actions?
Neither BNP or AL is going to present BD to Pakistan or India in a platter, they might have preferences in foreign policy thats it.

I would really love to hear BSF shooting down fleeing BDR rebel.
As BSF is experienced at killing people,it should be easy enough for them to gun down some of these culprits.Then BSF men would be blessed here.
But unfortunately,I think most murderers have already fled and are on the other side of the border.

Well i dont think any sane person would believe that. Because everything is going pro-india in bangladesh who would like to disturb that..!!! More over a weak BDR means weak border, So pointing fingers at india would defy logic at this point of time.. But then who would want to destabilise Bangla India Border..!!!! Well no awards for guessess this time..!!!

IAF on stand-by, ready to help Bangladesh
With Bangladesh caught in a bloody turmoil after the two-day mutiny by a disgruntled border security force last week, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has been put on standby to render assistance to the neighbouring country, if required.
The IAFs transport bases, equipped with IL-76 heavy-lift and AN-32 medium-lift aircraft, have been asked to stay prepared for any commitment to Bangladesh whose fragile civilian government is coming to terms with the rebellion by the paramilitary Bangladesh Rifles (BDR).
A senior IAF official, who refused to be identified, told HT on Sunday the force was ready to provide logistics as well as humanitarian help.
We follow some drills whenever there is any instability or calamity in neighbourhood. Bangladesh returned to democratic rule barely two months ago, a source in the air headquarters said.
The IAF had flown relief supplies to Bangladesh in November 2007, under Operation Sahayta, after a devastating cyclone tore through the countrys western coast leaving thousands dead and millions homeless.
In a stand-by scenario, the air force prioritises its commitments to make sure that assets are available at any given time for speedy deployment. The focus was on conserving assets to deal with any eventuality, said another official. It could also entail curbing leave temporarily to ensure availability of air crews.
The IAFs transport base at Jorhat in Assam is the closest to Bangladesh. It is also one of the biggest transport bases of the force.
The mutinous guards went on a shooting spree at BDRs officer corps at an annual meeting where troops were supposed to discuss grievances with the seniors. The rebels wanted among other things better pay, change in the command and control structure and permission to be part of lucrative UN peacekeeping missions.
