The people of the country are angry and saddened by the horrific events of 25-26^th February at the BDR headquarters especially the pre-planned and barbaric killings of more than a hundred military officers. Brutally murdering unarmed military officers and their families is an unforgivable crime. Mutilating dead bodies of officers; torturing and killing their wives and children including pregnant women; rape and burning dead bodies - all these inhumane acts were carried out by gang of Indian agents.    

Oh People! 

All of you are aware of the Indian plot to weaken and create divisions in the defence forces of Bangladesh. India and her local agents utilized the opportunity and current favourable moment to execute their conspiracy as they did many times in the past. The events have made it clear that the so-called mutiny was part of long-term plot and was carried out by India and her agents inside and outside the government. The mass killing of so many brilliant officers would only be of benefit to the polytheist enemy and her agents. Now they are blaming the killings on intelligence failure and so-called differences between the BDR and Army.  

An analysis of events of the two days clearly point out the mysterious role of the Awami League government.

• Did the government not have any information of a conspiracy of this magnitude?
• Why did the government send inexperienced ministers and MP's to negotiate with the rebels on such an important security issue who ensured the safety of the rebels only? Yet they did nothing to protect the lives, property and honour of the officers and their families.
• Why did the ministers and MP's who were frequenting in and out of the BDR compound feel safe and secure to move amongst the rebels in such a hostile situation unaccompanied by any security personnel?
• What was the purpose of the government in hurriedly declaring a general amnesty for the rebels without confirming the fate of the officers and their families?
• Did the government not allow the criminals to effectively flee from the scene by declaring the amnesty; vacating the locality; and blacking out the entire area?

Oh People!

In the guise of various demands the conspirators have managed to completely destroy the BDR chain of command and are now scheming to separate the BDR from the military's command. This so-called demand is a threat to the security of the country. The sole beneficiary of separating the BDR from the army and creating divisions between the two forces will be the Indian enemy.  This demand is unacceptable and the defence forces of the country must remain under the command of the military.  

Oh People!

In this moment of crisis, Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh urges you to take the following steps:

• Resist the conspiracy to destroy the army and BDR;
• Take the government to task for its inaction and mysterious role in the conspiracy; and
• Raise your voice for punishing the individuals involved in the conspiracy and the killings.

And rush forward to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will unite the people and strengthen the defence forces to resist all belligerent states including US, India, and Britain.  

Dear Journalists,

Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh has organized this press conference today in order to present the party's statement on the so-called BDR mutiny, the latest developments relating to the issue, and the arrests of party members and activists for exposing the conspiracy to destroy the defence forces of the country.

Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said, "Taliban have declared a unilateral ceasefire for 10 days as a goodwill gesture. Our fighters will not attack security personnel and government installations." However, he added that the militants would hold their positions and defend themselves if attacked. The deal has drawn much criticism both at home and abroad. So what lies behind the deal? Will it bring lasting peace to Swat?

America prepares for a summer of rage

The U.S. Army is to invest $6 million in riot equipment, a fact that has furthered fears that troops will be used inside the U.S. in order to quell any civil unrest resulting from the ongoing economic crisis. The U.S. Army Contracting Agency, based at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, has a post on the Federal Business Opportunities website, requesting the equipment and has received several notices of interest from potential vendors. The request titled "84-RIOT EQUIPMENT" outlines the need for hard polyethylene Shin and Chest Guards, shock absorbing Forearm Protectors, Interior leg brace supports as well as knee and ankle protectors. The request for riot gear comes amidst urban warfare training drills taking place across the US. Earlier this month, 150 U.S. troops from the U.S. Special Operations Command whizzed around the streets of New Orleans in military helicopters and even dropped bombs in what officials described as a "training event". No less than 2,200 U.S. Marines were also involved in urban operations training in Richmond, VIrginia, throughout January, drills that involved landing troops in populated areas, allowing military pilots to "familiarize themselves with the area." Recently, Northcom revealed that one of the duties of at least 20,000 active duty troops that are being placed inside the United States would be dealing with "civil unrest and crowd control".

Britain engaged in ‘civil war' in Afghanistan

According to the Uk's Daily Mail, the British Armed Forces are increasingly fighting British Muslims with Midlands and Yorkshire accents on the battlefields of Afghanistan. Intelligence reports show that rising numbers of home-grown jihadists have joined the Taliban so they can kill British soldiers. Senior military sources say UK troops are engaged in a 'surreal mini-civil war' in the dusty badlands of Helmand Province. The paper states that MI5 has estimated that up to 4,000 British Muslims had travelled to Pakistan and Afghanistan for military training, with 'dozens' switching to the front-line. Whether Muslims from Britain are engaged in fighting the British armed forces or not, one thing is for certain that Britain has lost the battle of ideas with its Muslim populace.

Bashir implores Mubarak to delay ICC ruling

With only a week before an international court decides whether to issue an arrest warrant against the president of Sudan by charging him with crimes against humanity, Omar al Bashir has been looking for a little help from a fellow American agent. During a trip to Cairo on Sunday, Mr Bashir asked Egypt to do whatever it could to "delay or halt" the International Criminal Court from issuing the warrant - a decision the ICC has said it will announce next Wednesday. After the meetings, Egypt's ambassador to Sudan said the visit "sent a message to all parties that Egypt was standing beside Sudan", according to Egypt's official Middle East News Agency.

The butcher Karimov embraces America to spill more Muslim blood in Afghanistan

On 25/2/09 AFP reported that Uzbekistan has reached an agreement with NATO allowing the alliance to send non-military supplies through the Central Asian nation en route to Afghanistan. "Uzbekistan has agreed to allow non-military, I underline, non-military cargo to be transited through Uzbek territory to Afghanistan, in accordance with existing Uzbek legislation," Karimov said. "We have never been, nor will we ever be against the transit of humanitarian cargo through our air corridor," he added. Disguising NATO supplies as humanitarian could not be further from the truth, and the whole world is aware of Karimov's humanitarian credentials, when in 2005 he brutally slaughtered the Muslims of Andijon. This time Karimov has announced his intentions to spill more Muslim blood in Afghanistan and has given America life-line, as it faces mounting losses in Afghanistan.

Pakistan's collusion with America runs deep

The New York Times reported that over 70 American military advisers and technical specialists are secretly working in Pakistan to help its military units conduct operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in western tribal areas. The advisers mostly include US Army Special Forces soldiers. Overseen by the US Central Command and Special Operations Command, the advisers provide the Pakistani army with training and intelligence, the report said. But they do not get involved in combat operations. The advisers form part of a secret task force that was started last summer with the support of the Pakistani government and military, the report said. The cooperation has never been publicly acknowledged, but is beginning to pay dividends, the paper noted. According to The Times, a new Pakistani commando unit within the Frontier Corps has used information from the Central Intelligence Agency and other sources to kill or capture as many as 60 militants in the past seven months, including at least five high-ranking rebel commanders. Previously, the US media revealed that American drones were using Pakistani air bases to carry out air raids in FATA, and the majority of supplies to NATO forces stationed in Afghanistan passed through Pakistan.
