The army was just watching and local and foreign conspirators carried out the massacre, he saysNo mutiny in BDR, it was a ‘conspiracy to kill army officers,’ says probe commission chiefRetired maj gen ALM Fazlur Rahman heading the new inquiry commission into the BDR killings believes there was no mutiny in the border force in 2009 and it was “a conspiracy” to kill the army officers. The seven-strong commission was formed on Dec 23 amid a growing clamour following the change in power for a reinvestigation into the killings of 74 people, including 57 army officers, which caused a stir at home and abroad during the Awami League government. Representatives of RAOWA, relatives of the officers killed in Pilkhana on Feb 25 and 26, 2009, the surviving officers of Pilkhana, and those serving in the army at that time were present in the meeting. It was a conspiracy to kill the officers. Fazlur told bdnews24.com that the commission would launch a website soon to ask for documentary evidence and data.
