For the first time in Bangladesh history, the prosecution of the International
Crimes Tribunal is ready to deal with
the war crimes charges levelled against
the Jamaat-e-Islami for its role during
the 1971 Liberation War. With this step,
Bangladesh is going to reach a milestone in the war crimes trials that began in 2009.
The prosecution is now mainly
concentrating on this case and the
formal charges may be placed this
month. The investigation officer says
the journey to prepare the probe report
was not so easy.
In the past, seven Nazi organisations, including the Reich Cabinet, Hitlers paramilitary force and Gestapo,
and the secret police force of the Nazis,
were tried at the historic Nuremberg

Narayanganj mass
hearing draws flak
n
Most of the people who testified yesterday told the committee that Shiddhirganj Awami League leader Nur Hossain
had masterminded the abduction and
killings in connivance with some officials of the local administration.
One of them Shahin Azad said Nur
was loyal to local Awami League lawmaker Shamim Osman. Motives behind the murders will become clear if
the alleged law enforcers are interrogated, he told the Dhaka Tribune after
giving deposition.
Another witness advocate Abu
Hasnat Abdullah after giving deposition told reporters that Nur had close
ties with the local administration. For
that, he got license of 11 firearms in exchange of money. Nur hired RAB to
kill his opponent Nazrul, he said.
Locals Jalal Uddin, Noor Hossain
Munna, Abul Kashem and Mujibur
Rahman are the others who testified
yesterday. But none of them witnessed
the abduction or the killings.
Soon after the mass hearing began, Sakhawat Hossain, president of
Narayanganj Ainjibi Samity, met the investigators and told them that cohorts
and supporters of the alleged killers
might also give deposition in the guise
of common people.

for panel mayor and won. Nur, however,
failed to will the panel mayor election.
Nazrul was also known as Shamims
man. But he fell from the lawmakers

Mayor Ivy after the elections. That inspired Nur to take on Nazrul repeatedly.

and the practice of making the administration, police and RAB partners in
crime ruined the normal functioning of
the local administration.
Another former official, who served
for Naraynaganj, said: For making the
city safe for common people, neither
do we need huge manpower in administration, police and RAB nor modern
equipment and highly trained people.
All we need is good intention and the
will to work with honesty... Unfortunately, that is what the Narayanganj
administration badly lacks.
Nur, who is the prime accused in the
seven murder cases, is now a fugitive. Police said they had been looking for him.
But there are allegations that law enforcers did not move swiftly to get hold
of him. Local residents said they had
seen Nur roaming around in the city
freely even after the abductions took
place and cases were filed against him.
Months before the seven murders,
the Police Service Association published
a memorabilia on the occasion of the
Police Week 2014. It had messages from
the president, prime minister and police
high officials. Withdrawn SP Nurul was
the editor of that publication. Nur gave
a full page advertisement, with his own
photograph, in that memorabilia and
wished police all the success.
When asked, SP Nurul told this correspondent that he had no idea about Nurs

Ex-JaPa MP Jabbar
faces arrest
warrant
n Udisa Islam
The International Crimes Tribunal 1 yesterday issued arrest warrant against former Jatiya Party lawmaker engineer
Mohammad Abdul Jabbar for his alleged war crimes committed during the 1971 Liberation War in Pirojpur.
Led by Chairman Justice M Enayetur Rahim, the tribunal passed the order after accepting the five formal charges
placed by the prosecution on Sunday and set June 2 for further order.
Jabbar played a key role to form razakar at Mothbaria of Pirojpur and led the collaborators group to commit
crimes in the area, the prosecution said. He faces charges
of crimes against humanity including killing, mass killing,
looting and forced conversion.
According to the investigation agency, the suspect has
been absconding since 2009.
Before issuing the warrant, the tribunal expressed dissatisfaction over the authorities concerned for their continuous failure in bringing the accused before justice. We
are issuing warrants, but do not see any visible development to arrest them. Even no initiative has been taken to
bring the absconding accused to justice too, it said.
Prosecutor Jahid Imam took part in the hearing and
pleaded for issuing the warrant.
According to the charges, Jabbar had been involved in
the killing of 36 people in Angulkata and Mothbaria, and
setting fire and looting of around 560 houses. He also forcefully converted around 200 people in Phuljhuri on a day of
end-May in 1971. He was elected lawmaker from Mothbaria
in 1986 and 1988.
Meanwhile, the same tribunal yesterday adjourned the
hearing on a contempt charge against Human Rights Watch
until May 25.
The tribunal 2 has set tomorrow for cross examination
of a prosecution witness in the case against war crimes accused Maulana Abdus Subhan. Last week, the prosecution
placed two witnesses and the tribunal adjourned the grilling session keeping it incomplete. The defence yesterday
questioned one witness.
Meanwhile, the tribunal 2 yesterday recorded testimony
of the 12th prosecution witness in the case against former
Jatiya Party lawmaker Syed Mohammad Qaisar who gave
his deposition on Sunday. l

2) Without carrying out some sort of internal

(having gotten away with it) are not going to
repeat their illegal activities (well versed in) in the

Id imagine that there can be scant justification for
the continued freezing of Begum Zias bank accounts. Its only another tactic aimed at harassing
and persecuting the BNP chairperson. Its an abhorrent anomaly that the current PM has had her
own accounts duly freed years ago, but Khaleda
Zia continues to appeal, in vain, for her accounts
to be activated again. I hope Mr Azam Khan has
advanced a robust case on the chairpersons
behalf. It shouldnt be made to appear that the
eventual unfreezing of her accounts is some act of
charity by the NBR or the incumbent government.
I expect the chairperson can prevail solely on the
legal merits of her case not on the graces or
goodwill of any other party or authority.

resignation around a week later and
formed a committee to recruit a new
head coach for the team.
Many names from around the globe
have surfaced in the last few days but
according to Jalal, the search committee is yet to reach a concrete decision.
75 percent of the work is done in
finding a coach. We are now waiting for
the final call. We have talked to three
coaches and it can be said that we are
on the edge of our talk with all of them.
We will eventually choose one from
those three, Jalal disclosed.
A new coach taking over in July
means the national will be without
a foreign mentor for the home series
against India.
It is very unlikely to find a full-time
coach before the India series and we
BFF mulls
womens team
in Asian Games
n Raihan Mahmood
Bangladesh
Football
Federation
has urged the Bangladesh Olympic
Association to ensure the participation
of the national womens team in the
upcoming Asian Games scheduled
to be held at Incheon, Korea in
September.
Bangladesh
national
womens
team has played in a number of AFC
and Saff affiliated tournaments, but
never appeared in a big event
like Asian Games. The womens
national team has recently been
improving and they dont get
enough opportunities in big scale
tournaments. If the womens team
get the opportunity of playing in the
Asian Games, the team will earn a lot
of experience and it will be benefecial
for them, said BFF general secretary
Abu Naeem Shohag.
The urge from the football body
was responded on a positive note by
the BOA as Syed Shahed Reza, the
secretary general of BOA, said, The
time of registration has not expired
yet and we are considering the subject
seriously. We will take a final decision
shortly. l
will have to make it up with an interim local coach in that case, informed
Jalal. However, Jalal refrained from
disclosing the name of the local coach
immediately. When queried about the
chances of former local coach of national team Sarwar Imran being given
the charge, the best he could reply was,
likely.
He further informed of BCBs
intention of assigning three coaches - a
head coach along with two assistants
- a bowling coach and a conditioning
coach. However, the board wont
entertain
recommendations
from
the head coach for the assistant
coaches this time. BCBs experience
in this regard is not a sweet one after
appointing a fielding coach under the
recommendation of former national
coach Stuart Law turned out to be
unsatisfactory.
Discussion with the bowling and
the conditioning coach has also been
fruitful. Their names will be announced
along with the head coach, said Jalal.
It was learned from the sources that
former Sri Lanka pacer Chaminda Vaas
is likely to get the nod as the bowling
coach. BCB held discussions with Vaas
during the Asia Cup in March this year.
BCB is interested more in local
names as far as the fielding coach is
concerned. Jalal informed that the
board would discuss with the players
before making a final decision on appointing a local fielding coach. However, appointing a part-time foreign fielding coach is also a possibility. l

Everton breakthrough star Ross Barkley, 20, was named in a youthful England World Cup squad on Monday, but
Manchester United midfielder Michael
Carrick only made the standby list.
Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole announced his international retirement on
Sunday after being informed by England
manager Roy Hodgson that he would not
be selected and 18-year-old Southampton defender Luke Shaw took his place.
Liverpools 19-year-old winger Raheem Sterling was the second teenager
in a squad that featured only six players
with previous World Cup experience.
Coles Chelsea team-mate Frank
Lampard was also selected, despite
doubts about the 35-year-olds inclusion, but Tottenham Hotspur rightback Kyle Walker missed out due to a
pelvic injury.
Phil Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere all overcame injury scares while Southampton striker
Rickie Lambert was preferred to West
Ham United rival Andy Carroll.
Carroll was also named on the standby list, alongside Carrick, Norwich City
goalkeeper John Ruddy, Liverpool fullback Jon Flanagan, Everton centre-back
John Stones, Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley and Jermain Defoe, now of Canadian side Toronto FC.

Pepe Mel has left West Browmich Albion by mutual consent after just four
months in charge of the English Premier League club, the Midlands side announced Monday. The Spanish manager only arrived at the Hawthorns in January
after being chosen as the full-time successor to Steve Clarke. Both Pepe and the club
set out with the best intentions of making the appointment work, said West Brom
sporting and technical director Richard Garlick in a club statement. However, having
reflected on events both on and off the field during our talks, it became apparent that
it was in the best interests of both parties for there to be an amicable parting. AFP
England will be hoping history repeats itself when their bid to regain the
Ashes next year starts in Cardiff. Monday saw the England and Wales Cricket
Board announce the international schedule for its 2015 home season. And it was
the choice of the Welsh capital ground to stage the first Test against Australia,
starting on July 8, that was arguably the most eye-catching decision. England
were whitewashed 5-0 by their oldest foes in Australia during the 2013/14 Ashes,
a reverse which led Andy Flower to stand down as team coach and be replaced
by Peter Moores.

Bastia midfielder Ryad Boudebouz, who has not featured for Algeria
since the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, was Monday named in coach Vahid

Ryad Mahrez is called up for the first time, but Livorno striker Ishak Belfodil failed
to make the cut, although he remains on stand-by should Portos Nabil Ghilas not
shake off injury. Just five of the squad, which will be trimmed to 23 on June 1 - a
day after a warm-up match against Armenia in the Swiss city of Sion - are based
in Algeria.

The cricket bat used by Australian
sporting legend Don Bradman to
launch his Test career has been put up
for auction and is expected to fetch up
to Aus$145,000.
Bradman, who retired with a yetto-be-topped Test batting average of
99.94, used the bat to open his Test career in the 1928 series against England.
It was donated by him to the Sydney
Sun newspaper in 1930 as a competition prize to raise money for a childrens hospital and was held by the boy
who won until 2008 when he sold it for
Aus$145,000 ($136,000). l

reopen the outdoor service, the doctors on strike forcefully locked the ticket booth for patients.
During the hours between 8am and
11am yesterday, only a handful of patients were reportedly able to consult
doctors at the outdoor section, although around 300 tickets were sold to
patients.
Around 100 patients, almost half the
usual number, were admitted in the
emergency section yesterday. A total of
387 tickets were sold there, compared
to over a thousand on a regular day.
The strike also caused many of the
scheduled operations to be postponed.
Only six emergency operations had
been carried out on the fourth floor
of the operation theatre (OT) complex
until 4pm yesterday, compared to an
average of around 90 operations a day
in different OTs of the hospital, an OT
staff said on condition of anonymity.
The neurosurgery department,

Mismanagement in
emergency fund use
n Asif Showkat Kallol
The government has spent almost half
the allocation of the budgets emergency expenditure fund for the purposes not allowed by the law.
The fund has been used to purchase
vehicles, pay allowances, in nuclear
power plant and pay salaries and allowances to police and Ansar-VDP members.
But according to the Public Money
and Budget Management Act 2009,
the funds cannot be diverted to sectors
which are not specified during the allocation.
Besides, the total allocation of
Tk1,299 crore has been completely
consumed in less than five months of
the current fiscal year, prompting the
government make a new block allocation of Tk110 crore in the revised budget, said official sources.
The sources said during political
unrest the government had to meet
additional expenditure on policing and
used a chunk of the emergency fund.
The law states that the fund can
only be used to meet emergency expenditures like during natural disasters, providing agricultural subsidy
and policy change by the government.
Due to the use of the fund in the
non-specified sectors, the money ran
out so rapidly that finance minister
even failed to get money to lease Mongla port land for establishing a special
economic zone.
However, the emergency fund was
not also intended to be used for such
leasing of land. All the fund has been
almost used and there was no enough
money to give for land leasing, said Finance Secretary Fazle Kabir, in a reply
to Finance Minister AMA Muhiths letter directing to provide money.

taker government Dr Mirza Azizul Islam, however, said the corporate tax
rate in the country is not that much
higher as compared to other countries.
What the business community
claimed was just a justification to demand lowering the rate, said the eminent economist. If lowering of the
rate does not help grow investments,
it will only benefit the business, not
the country.
He said: The business has been
claiming that investment will be increased through lowering the tax
rate, but the reality is the investment
will not be increased until the basic
pre-conditions for investment including connections of gas and electricity, sufficient land for industries
and good communication systems
are met.
According to a KPMG conducted Corporate and Indirect Tax Rate
Survey 2014, the corporate tax rate
in some South Asian countries are
33.99% in India, 20% in Afghanistan,
34% in Pakistan, and 28% in Sri Lanka.
Different chambers and associations have long been urging the government to reduce the corporate tax
rate for both the publicly listed and
non-listed companies.
The Federation of Bangladesh
Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) demanded reducing the
corporate tax to 40% from existing
42.5%, for publicly traded companies
to 35% from 37.5%, for non-publicly
another official.
Earlier, the company appealed
for re-enlistment after it became
regularised in holding annual general meetings and paying dividends
to its shareholders.
The Bangladesh Securities and
Exchange Commission on August
9 last year, issued no objection
letter to the company for re-enlistment with the stock exchanges
and asked to consider Watas
application as per the listing regulations. l

Parrot launching
smartphone
controlled drones
n AFP, San Francisco
Wireless products maker Parrot unveiled a drone Sunday aimed squarely
at smartphone or tablet owners keen
on getting birds eye views of the world.
Parrot billed its Bebop Drone as a
flying high-quality camera that will
land in the market in the final three
months this year.
The Paris-based maker of wireless
accessories for automobiles and handheld mobile devices did not disclose
how much it plans to charge for the
drones.
The experience is like being a bird,
an insect, Parrot founder and chief
Henri Seydoux said while providing an
early look at Bebop drones in San Francisco.
You fly through the device and see
the same thing as if you were a bird.
A Bebop drone can be controlled using smartphones or tablet computers
powered by Apple or Android software,
displaying on screens what is captured
by its high-definition camera with a
180-degree fish-eye view.
The drones can also synch to Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets, letting
wearers essentially look around by
moving their heads as though they are
actually flying.
Consumer targets for the drones,
which are essentially motion-stabilized
Parrot product manager Francois Callou remotely controls a Bebop Drone as it peers at a swarm of reporters and shows what it sees on a screen at the historic Old Mint in San Francisco.

yesterday, estimating that an additional
$44tn of investment was needed to
meet 2050 carbon reduction targets.
Releasing its biennial Energy Technology Perspectives report in Seoul,
the agency said electricity would increasingly power the worlds economies in the decades to come, rivalling
oil as the dominant energy carrier.
Surging electricity demand posed
serious challenges, said IEA executive
director Maria van der Hoeven.
We must get it right, but were on
the wrong path at the moment, Van
der Hoeven told reporters in the South
Korean capital.
Growing use of coal globally is
overshadowing progress in renewable
energy deployment, and the emissions
intensity of the electricity system has
not changed in 20 years despite some
progress in some regions.
A radical change of course at the
global level is long overdue, she said.
Such a change would, however, be
