Meem

Iftekhar Sayeed

    Two former army chiefs had aspired to see changes in “dynastic politics” courtesy a US-aided coup in 2004, according to a leaked diplomatic cable.
    The cable sent to Washington by the then US ambassador in Dhaka Harry K Thomas in late 2004 was published by whistleblower website WikiLeaks on August 30 this year.
    It said the United States rejected the requests of the two army men.

    Police and witnesses said six people were incinerated in the bus, a fire-burnt man jumped to death on the street and two others including a two-year-old child died from injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
    Three of the nine dead are identified as Meem, 2,Yasmin, 25, and Tahura, 27.
