Grenade Attack

Close watch on some people

Staff Correspondent
Intelligence agencies are keeping a vigil on some people and c’osely watching their movements, suspecting their links to Saturday's deadly grenade attack on the Awami League (AL) rally as the probe into the grisly incident is yet to make a headway.
Sources close to the investigators however declined to disclose the names of people under watch at this stageofinvestigation.
The investigators questioned 32 people till yesterday, including Major General (Retd) Tareq Ahmed Siddique, chief of the private security squad of Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, but they were yet to get any lead to the incident. They recorded statements of 22 out of the 32 people.
The home ministry yesterday nominated two officials to extend secreiarial-suppojt Jp the Judicial Inqliiry Cotri mission on the grenade

attack that left 19 people killed and over 200 others injured.
The officials are Director (Admin) of Narcotics Control Directorate Safij Uddin Ahmed and Senior Assistant Secretary (Security) of the Ministry of Home Affairs Md Alamgir, an official announcement said.
But the home ministry's step providing secretarial support to the judicial probe body raised further questions about the outcome of the investigation.
The AL and the Supreme Court Bar Association have already rejected the commission.
Earlier, inquiry commissions were formed to probe bomb blasts in Mymensingh cinemas, Ansars firing on people at Malibagh in the capital and police atrocities at Shamsunnahar Hall of Dhaka University, but their reports were never made public.
Officers of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), National Security Intelligence (NSI), Rapid Action Battalion (Rab), Special Branch (SB) and Detective Branch (DB) yesterday ques-
tioned five people including Tareq Ahmed Siddique, now under treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka.
The team went to Bangabandhu Avenue and visited the toilets at Railway Super Market and Rony Tailors from where three unexploded grenades were recovered.
The team members also questioned wayside vendor Abdul Malek, Maleka Begum, wife of another vendor, lift- man of City Bhaban Ratan Chandra De and security guard of the building Nazimuddin.
Although witnesses had earlier said that some of the grenades were hurled from the rooftop of City Bhaban, Ratan who keeps the lock and key of the rooftop said no- one went to the rooftop on that day.
Meanwhile, Justice Joynul Abedin, head of the one-member judicial commission, has sought cooperation from all quarters to find out the culprits.
The commission will submit its report in three weeks.
