Where is Moeen?
http://shadakalo.blogspot.com/2007/11/where-is-moeen.html#links
We've been asking this question for a while and have a missing person report on the sidebar to express our concern. But at the same time, we hear his brother, Mr. Minhazuddin Ahmed, is actively working to set up "Jago Bangladesh", another king's party in USA and UK. (we know Mr. Minhazuddin was actively involved in asking his friends in Boston to set up the Boston meeting ).
We know Moeen was not present at the airport when President Iajuddin left for the USA, although other service chiefs were there. We also know that when Iajuddin returned, Moeen was again missing from the airport while the other service chiefs were there. If you are not convinced, here is another meeting he missed. Military Institute of Science and Technology is an engineering university run by the military. It just held it's 9th council meeting that discussed its budget for the upcoming year and set other policy directions. All in all, a pretty important meeting. But we read:
The ninth meeting of the council of Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) was held at Mirpur Cantonment in the city Thursday, report agencies.Lt. Gen. Masud was in Hawaii, where a local paper misidentified him as "Bangladesh's chief of defense." Multiple stories, including an official website of the US military, makes the same mistake. We know his official title is "Principal Staff Officer." A typo? A Freudian slip? The bottom line is, he has not returned yet. But the conference ended on Nov 2--is he taking R&R at Macau as well?
Education Adviser Ayub Quadri chaired the meeting while Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Sarwar Jahan Nizam, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal SM Ziaur Rahman and Lt Gen Jahangir Alam Chowdhury representing the Army Chief were present, among others, in the meeting.
We are asking because of another oblique reference in our favorite inside informer, Amader Shomoy. In prose designed to fool no one, Mr. Nasir Uddin informs us under the heading "Possible turning point after November 27":

[color/emphasis ours] Despite the contorted language, it is pretty clear that the reporter means a military officer. Lt. Gen. Masud is abroad. Is this article referring to him? Since Moeen is missing, it is entirely possible he is also abroad, and is the "non-civilian" mentioned in the article.
We don't think the latter is the case.
We were informed the night of the BNP coup that Gen. Moeen Ahmed was in CMH, and his movements were restricted. But without any corroboration, at that time we posed it as a question. His brother's active politicking also can not be reconciled with his allegedly restricted status.
But this article makes us ask the question again: where exactly is Gen. Moeen Uddin Ahmed? And while we think it was an honest mistake, why is the US military identifying Gen. Masud Uddin Chowdhury as the chief of defense?

Nov 21st is the Armed Forces Day, right? I'm thinking he'll have to appear then, if he is able. If he's not there that day too, we'll definitely know something is up.
