Home boss claims Mossad behind recent killing spate
2016-06-07
[Dhaka Tribune] State Minister of Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal yesterday suggested an Israeli link to the recent killings spate of secular bloggers and minorities.

While talking to the BBC, the minister highlighted a recent meeting between a BNP politician and a self-proclaimed Israeli politician as his sole evidence of an ongoing cross-border plotting, terming the rendezvous an "international conspiracy" against Bangladesh.

Israel dismissed the suggestion.

Kamal’s comments came a day after the wife of a police brass hat was rubbed out in broad daylight in Chittagong. Another Christian small trader was hacked to death by unknown assailants in NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization....
re.

"Bangladesh has become the target of an international conspiracy. And a foreign intelligence agency has joined the conspiracy," Kamal said while talking to the BBC.

When Kamal was to elaborate, he said: "You must have noticed that an Israeli intelligence agent had a meeting with a politician, it does not need to be verified further, all Bangladeshi know about it."

BNP leader Aslam Chowdhury was recently jugged
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
 and charged with sedition after he was pictured meeting Israeli government adviser Mendi Safadi in India. Aslam said he was in India on a business trip and has denied meeting any Israeli intelligence agent.

Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon told the BBC the suggestion of Israeli involvement was "utter drivel."
That was the most diplomatic response that professional diplomatic spokesman could come up with. Back in the office oxygen had to be sent for, they were laughing so hard.
Bangladesh has no diplomatic relations with Israel and supports the Palestanians.

More than 40 people have been killed since January last year in the wave of attacks on those seen by murderous Moslems as offensive to Islam.

The government insists that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 or al-Qaeda do not have a presence in Bangladesh and has tended to blame the opposition and local bad boy groups.

Critics have accused the government of failing to properly address the violence in Bangladesh.
