| [Bangla Daily Star] Investigators yesterday questioned a truck owner and the manager of a transport agency in connection with the sensational 10-truck arms haul case in Chittagong five years ago. Sources said Taslim Mallick, manager of Greenways transport agency that is located near Dewanhat footbridge in the port city, and truck owner Abdul Motaleb were quizzed. During the questioning, both Taslim and Motaleb informed that one Abul Hossain hired the trucks from them in the name of carrying salt from Patiya, said Criminal Investigation Department (CID) ASP Muniruzzaman Chowdhury, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case. The transport agency gave seven out of 10 trucks that carried deadly weapons and ammunition at the jetty of Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Limited (CUFL) on April 02, 2004. Motaleb owned five of the seven trucks. The CID investigators once again sent letter to Bangladesh Coastguard, Chittagong Zone, yesterday, asking for the list of on-duty coastguard members during the seizure of arms and ammunition. The CID yesterday received government's permission to quiz officials of National Security Intelligence (NSI). |
