Six of die 12 convicted killers of Bangabandhu have been holed up in Libya, US, Canada, Pakistan and Kenya, one died in Zimbabwe, and the remaining five are behind bars at home.
Sources in the administration and intelligence agencies said some of the killers on the run travel to different countries for business purposes.
The government is working to have them extradited or deported back home with the apex court set to deliver its verdict in the historic murder case today.
T hrough intelligence sources, the government has gathered information about the whereabouts of those still at large. It is however maintaining absolute secrecy about the matter.
After Awami League came to power in 1996, it formed a taskforce to initiate moves to sign extradition treaties with different countries to bring back the murder convicts.
Former ambassadorWali-ur Rehman, who headed the taskforce-turned-cell till 1998, said that soon after taking office, the previous AL government cancelled diplomatic passports of the condemned killers only to see they secure Pakistani passports.

Wali-ur however disputes the information.
Talking to The Daily Star, he said Nur has been living in Libya and seeking asylum in Canada. Rashed, on the other hand, is trying for asylum in the US.
Abdul Mazad is hiding in Benghazi, while Moslemuddin might be in the Libyan city or somewhere in Bangladesh.
Wali-ur said Mazed was the last man to leave the ■ country in 1996. He said | the immigration police had stopped him in the airport in 1997, but he somehow managed to slip through the checks.
Moslehuddin had been in India till 2000. There, he was arrested twice, but the Indian cops could not I crack his real identity as he had been using aliases.
