PROSECUTOR OF ISLAMISTS SHOT DEAD


The religion of peace strikes again. This is a direct assault on law and order. Unless the government can quickly hunt down the murderers a radical Islamic takeover will be sure to occur. There are enough radical Islamic regimes in the world. A radical Islamic Bangladesh would be a major threat to India.

BANGLADESH: PROSECUTOR OF ISLAMISTS SHOT DEAD

“Dhaka, 12 April (AKI) - A prosecutor involved in a case against six Islamic militants in Bangladesh who were hanged two weeks ago, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in the southern town of Jhalakathi, according to the Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star. Hyder Hossain was killed as he came out of a mosque after prayers near his home on Wednesday night. The Daily Star reported that Hyder had recently said that several people identifying themselves a members of the banned Islamic group Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were threatening him over the telephone following the execution of the six JMB members.

Hyder was the special public prosecutor in the case involving the murder of two judges in November 2005 in the wake of a series of bombings in Bangladesh.

Among the six militants who were hanged two weeks ago, was Abdur Rahman, the head of the JMB and his deputy Siddiqul Islam, also known as Bangla Bhai.

On hearing the gunshots, other devotees in the mosque reportedly came outside and found Hyder lying in a pool of blood on the road. A bullet hit Hyder's forehead and went through the back of his head the report said. The prosecutor died on his way to the hospital.

The JMB wants to establish Sharia Islamic law in Bangladesh and is one of three Islamic groups outlawed after the authorities linked them to the series of bomb attacks in 2005.”
