HUJI Leader Blames BNP in 2004 Sylhet Bomb Attack

The incarcerated leader of Harkatal Jihad al Islam (HUJI), Mufti Abdul Hannan has implicated members of the BNP  in a 2004 grenade attack against members of the Awami League.

When asked whether they were guilty of the charges brought against them, Hannan, his brother and a deputy claimed they were innocent.  Instead, they claimed local leaders of the BNP had masterminded the attack that had killed a leader of the AL and had injured 25 others.

Whether or not these counter allegations merit criminal investigation, they certainly merit further journalistic attention.
