“US deports Bangladeshi coup man”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A former Bangladeshi army officer has been deported from the United States and then arrested on his arrival in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka.
Mohiuddin Ahmed was convicted in absentia in 1998 for his role in the 1975 military coup and assassination of President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Ahmed spent several years fighting his deportation from the US.
He was one of 15 people found guilty of killing Sheikh Mujibur. Most of them were sentenced to death.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the figurehead of the fight for the creation of Bangladesh which had been East Pakistan.”
MONTREAL -- Members of Montreal's Jewish community are feeling threatened following the third suspicious fire in less than a month at a popular summer retreat north of Montreal. A private home at the Val-David, Que., camp, about a one-hour drive from Montreal, was destroyed by fire early yesterday. No one was injured in the fire, but police say two other buildings were broken into and it appears there was an attempt to set one ablaze. "More and more as the day goes on I can certainly rule that it was an accidental fire," said provincial police spokesperson Jayson Gauthier. "We're hoping that there will be some evidence within those residences that could lead to some arrests."
Earlier this month, a rabbi's summer home at the camp was razed by flames only days after a smaller fire broke out nearby. Investigators say that both incidents were arson. "It is still too early to say if there is a link between the events," Gauthier said. He added that police are hesitant to label the fires as hate crimes, saying there have been other criminal fires in the Val-David area recently.
Members of Montreal's Hasidic community say they feel targeted by the fires. "We're very, very concerned not only for the safety of our property... but about the personal safety of our families and our children," said Mayer Feig, a spokesman for Montreal's Hasidic community.
Thanks.
