Body flown back home

No headway in murder probe

Staff Correspondent
The body of a Saudi embassy official, who was shot dead near his house at Gulshan in the capital on March 6, was sent to Saudi Arabia last night.
Police were yet to make any headway in the murder investigation but the Saudi ambassador said he was confident Bangladesh government would arrest the killers and ensure justice.
A special flight of Saudi Airlines arrived at Shahjalal International Airport at 7:15pm to take the body of Khalaf Al Ali and had left at 8:25pm, said officials at the airport. Several top officials of the Saudi embassy in Dhaka went along with the body to Saudi Arabia.
Al Ali, who had been working at the embassy for about two years, was shot dead around 30 yards from his house on Road-120 in Gulshan early Tuesday.
Anamaj-e-janaza was held after Asr prayers yesterday at the mosque of Shahjalal International Airport. Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Bangladesh Abdullah Bin Naser Al-Busairi, diplomats from different countries, several ministers of the Bangladesh government, officials of the foreign ministry and leaders from Awami League, BNP and other political parties and senior police officials took part in the namaj-e-janaza.
Talking to the media, Mahbub UI Alam Hanif, joint general secretary of ruling Awami League, stressed the need for beefing up security measures in the diplomatic zone in Dhaka.
He urged the government to remove offices of political parties and all business establishments from the diplo-
matic zone of the capital.
BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, however, said, “The government should not pass their responsibilities on others' shoulders. They should try to carry out their own duties so that no diplomats are killed in future...”
Meanwhile, law enforcers and police could not make any headway with their investigation even though three days had gone by since the murder. Several teams of Gulshan division police, Detective Branch of Police, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Rapid Action Battalion were working on it.
Khandaker Lutful Kabir, deputy commissioner of Gulshan Division, said, "We are trying our best to find the motive of the murder and the killers.”
Meanwhile, Rab around 6:00am Wednesday picked up Anwar Hossain, a waterpump technician of the building in front of which Ali was found.
Anwar reportedly heard a gunshot, saw a man standing between the body and a white car, and the man leaving by the car.
Commander M Sohail, director of Legal and Media wing of Rab, however, said he was unaware of Anwar being picked up for questioning.
