No JMB link to Unicef, IFRC,WFP threats
The investigation committee has found no Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) connection with the threat given to the local offices of Unicef, International Federation of Red Crescent (IFRC) and World Food Programme (WFP) here.
Hayatul Islam Khan, assistant commissioner of Barisal Metropolitan Police (BMP), also a member of the three-member investigation committee told The Daily Star yesterday that the committee started investigation on the basis of the general diary lodged by the officials of the organisation and it submitted the probe report to the BMP commissioner on May 4, 2009.
"We found no JMB connection with those threat letters. A section of people with ill motives has done this to create panic in the society," Hayatul said.
The three letters, written in English in the name of JMB, were delivered by postman at the offices of the Unicef, IFRC and WFP in the police line area of the city on April 20, 2009.
In the letters, the sender asked the chiefs of the three organisations to shut down their operations and quit Bangladesh immediately, police said quoting the letters as saying.
The sender also threatened the officials of dire consequences if they do not follow the order.
