Rahim, Sahab tell of ISI link for assisting 10-truck arms smuggling
Arrested former director general of National Security Intelligence (NSI) Brigadier General (retd) Md Abdur Rahim and former director (security) Wing Commander (retd) Sahabuddin Ahmed have given statements quite similar, to the court and the investigation officials.
Dubai-based business firm ARY Group and Pakistan's army intelligence service Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) were involved with the plan of smuggling the seized arms. They also disclosed the names of two officials of foreign organization involved with the incident.
Brigadier Rahim in his statement mentioned the names of ARY and ISI, and clearly mentioned when, where and with which official he met. Even in his confessional statement at the court and during interrogation at the TFI cell he mentioned the name of the ISI Director General and admitted that he met with him in London.
In his confessional statement given in the court Rahim said when "he (Sahab) was appointed deputy director (security) he appealed to me and enticed me to make him my PS. As he was the director (security) and PS simultaneously he carefully used his power to meet with the detective officers of foreign embassy and exchange information. He developed good relations with ISI official brigadier Mogisuddin and Col Shahed Mahmud working in the Pakistan High Commission. I came to know this from his frequent meeting with them."
On the Dubai-based business firm ARY Group chief's Dhaka visit in 2004 Rahim told TFI cell, the Group MD Salman Iqbal came to Dhaka accompanied by an engineer. Sahab received them at the airport. Sahab arranged everything for them. He also gave his car for their use.
On the other hand Sahab in his confessional statement said, Director General Abdur Rahim directed him to take care of the ARY Group officials. On his (Rahim's) order he gave his car for their use. Bill of their lodging and food was also met from the NSI fund.In the statement at the TFI cell Rahim said, he was told on behalf of the ARY Group that if QTV were set up in Bangladesh he would be appointed its local agent.
Regarding Ulfa Brigadier Rahim said, Sahab Uddin tried to talk with him about Anup Chetia in March 2004. He said, "As I was not interested, he dropped the issue and said we should help Ulfa.
"I got infuriated at his proposal and said, Shall we give Bangladesh to Ulfa?" Then he (Sahab) got a pale face and left the place.
However, Sahab in his confessional statements in the court and in the TFI cell said, after the ARY Group officials came to Dhaka, the Director General held meeting with them at his personal Safe House. A meeting was also held at his residence. In that meeting Ulfa military chief Paresh Barua,two officials of ARY Group and officials of Pakistan High Commission were present.
