Bangladesh seeking police on duty when US blogger was killed
None
A government adviser on Saturday asked the chief of Bangladesh police to identify the police who failed to act when a US blogger was attacked and killed last month in Dhaka.
"Identify the black sheep among the force and bring them under law and justice to uphold your image," said H.T. Imam, political adviser to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Imam directed the remarks to AKM Shahidul Hoque, the inspector general of Bangladesh police, while addressing a meeting on "Image of Bangladesh Police" held at Dhaka University. It was at the university that Avijit Roy, an engineer of Bangladeshi origin, was killed by machete-wielding assailants as he and his wife were returning from a book fair last month. His wife, Rafida Bonya Ahmed, suffered head injuries and lost a finger. She later returned to the United States for treatment.
