‘Comments before BDR probe report premature’

Law minister Shafiq Ahmed said Monday comments on who was involved in the BDR mutiny before a full-scale probe report was available would be premature, reports bdnews24.com.
"The government is investigating into whether any extremist organisation is operating under the banner of the religious political parties," the minister told reporters after a meeting with a delegation of the Bangladesh Judicial Services Association.
Earlier the same day, commerce minister Faruq Khan, tasked with coordinating the various mutiny
probes, commented that some people with links to the BDR mutiny "in order to save themselves" were trying to cover for those who were directly involved in the killings.
Last week, Faruq, a former army officer, said evidence had been found linking the banned Islamist outfit Jama''atul Mujahedin Bangladesh to the Feb 25-26 massacre at the BDR headquarters.
Pressed by reporters on Monday to give more details, Faruq said: "It won''t be right to disclose anything now. The investigation is ongoing."
