| [Bangla Daily Star] The charge sheet in the August 21 grenade blasts case points to a meticulous plot to kill the then opposition chief Sheikh Hasina, but clears up no questions along that line. Submitted on June 9 last year by Criminal Investigation Department, the charge sheet does not give any details of the plot. It confines itself to describing briefly a few meetings between Huji leaders and the then deputy minister and BNP leader Abdus Salam Pintu just days before the blasts. It says Abu Taher, then president of Dhaka city Huji, met Mufti Abdul Hannan, prime accused and top leader of Huji, and Ahsanullah Kajal, organising secretary of the outfit's Dhaka city unit, near Mohammadpur Supermarket in the capital, on August 18. He informed the other two that "it has been decided centrally that the August 21 Awami League rally would be attacked to kill them [Hasina and others], and a meeting has been held with Salam Pintu". |
