Satkhira BNP Leader Murder
PBCP claims responsibility
The Janajuddha faction of outlawed Purba Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-ML) has claimed responsibility for the murder of Satkhira district BNP vice-president and Tala thana BNP president ABM Altaf Hossain.
Hossain, 55, a former chairman of Tala Upazila Parishad, died while being taken to hospital when three bombs were hurled on him on Tuesday night at Panchrata intersection near his party office while he was returning home from Patkelghata bazaar in a motorcycle.
"Our cadres eliminated him (Hossain) as he was a class enemy", a fax message sent to local newspaper offices by Apu Rojario, self-styled Khulna divisional secretary of PBCP, said.
Police arrested five persons after the murders.
Satkhira Police Superintendent Muhammad Abdur Rahim told newsmen that the arrested "terrorists" gave important clues to the murder. We are trying to arrest the killers, he said.
