Kibria family reiterates demand for FBI probe

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
The family of late SAMS Kibria yesterday reiterated its demand that the government invite immediately the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to ensure a transparent investigation into the Habiganj carnage.
"We won't accept any investigation under supervision of the current government," Reza Kibria, son of the slain Awami League lawmaker,

said at a press conference held at their Dhanmondi residence.
Mentioning Health Minister Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain's statement regarding Habiganj grenade attack, he said, "The investigation team should interrogate Saifur Rahman, Mannan Bhuiyan, Motiur Rahman Nizami and Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, because I think they might have some information about Habiganj grenade attack."
"As the government probe body would not be able to interrogate these influential ministers, the FBI should be given the charge of investigation," he added.
Reza alleged that the government is trying to distract people's attention from Habigang carnage by blaming AL for the incident.
He expressed fear that the main accused and the witnesses to the grenade blasts might fall victim to 'crossfire'.
Replying to a query, Asma Kibria, wife of SAMS Kibria, said that they had requested the government to inform them of the latest developments in the investigation.
On whether they had asked the investigation team to interrogate the four ministers, Asma said, "I've told them (investigation team) to take note of it."
She said the government's 'pointing the finger at AL for Habiganj grenade attack' shows that they do not want the real culprits to be brought to justice.
Asma said that she plans to exhibit the signatures collected through the 'mass signature campaign'.
"I hope the government would have no objection to arranging the
exhibition at Manik Mia Avenue," she added.
In the afternoon yesterday, Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee formed a human chain in front of Kibria's Dhanmondi residence. They demanded trial of the perpetrators of the January 27 attack that left former finance minister SAMS Kibria and four others dead.
Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) activists brought out a silent procession from Dhanmondi Abahani Ground and marched to Kibria's residence yesterday.
