Attempt to Assassinate Hasina: Inquiry Committee to Give its Report on Saturday - 2004-10-01

The one-man judicial inquiry commission headed by Justice Joynul Abedin submits its report on Saturday on the August 21 grenade attacks on an Awami League (AL) rally, where it has identified the perpetrators of the grisly carnage, sources said. The sources however declined to say who the probe has identified to have carried out the bombing in an apparent attempt to assassinate Leader of the Opposition and AL President Sheikh Hasina.

The report, to be submitted within the extended deadline ending today, specifies where the grenades were thrown from and cites whether the sports utility vehicle that carried Hasina to safety was hit by bullets.
