Huji gives death threat to Prof Zafar Iqbal
Eminent educationist and writer Prof Muhammad Zafar Iqbal has received a death threat from outlawed Islamist outfit Harkat-ul Jihad al Islami (Huji).
Prof Zafar Iqbal, head of the department of the computer science & engineering at the Shahjalal University of Science & Technology (SUST), received a letter containing the death threat yesterday. He then immediately informed the university registrar of it.
The letter dated February 20 was sent by the Sylhet chapter of Huji. It reads "You, the honourable person, have done immeasurable harm to Islam and the Muslims. No forces would be able to save you. You would be killed on any odd-numbered date of the next Arabic (Hijri) month."
Registrar Zamil Ahmed Chowdhury told The Daily Star that they have already informed the SP of Sylhet of the threat.
