Police arrested 11 Hijbut Tahrir activists at Sonadighi crossing in the Rajshahi northwestern city yesterday on the eve of their pre-announced press conference.

Among the arrested ones there are three university teachers. The three arrested teachers are Prof. Dr Syed Golam Mawla of Management Department and Prof. Ahmed Jamal of Chemistry Department of Dhaka University and Mamun Ansari of the private Southern University in Dhaka.

Police said they arrested the Tahrir men as "suspected militants" after they reached Rajshahi by a microbus to hold the press conference at the local Press Club at 1pm for announcing programme of the party.

They were detained around 12:30pm on Thursday at Rajshahi Press Club.

The others held are believed to be students of different universities in the country. They are Masud Kawser, son of Shafiqul Islam of Chandpur district, Omar Farook, son of Sadiqul Islam of Chapainawabganj, Moniruzzaman Masud, son of Harunur Rashid of Noakhali, Saddam Hossain, son of Mohammad Hossain, and Mozammel Haque, son of Shamsul Islam, of Brahmanbaria, Akhtar Hossain, son of Ali Hossain of Chittagong, Jahedul Islam, son of Aftab Uddin of Kishoreganj, and their microbus driver Jahangir Alam, son of Abdur Rahman of Noakhali district.

Police also seized the microbus carrying them, 12 mobile-phone sets and huge leaflets and posters of the party from the possession of the Tahrir activists.

This group's abortive debut here came as a major matter after the JMB militants' march through this city at the height of their vigilance operation in the district and their eventual nemesis.

Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Detective Branch Ekramul

Hossain said the university teachers and others were arrested as "suspected militants" in apprehension of their "subversive acts".

Carrying leaflets with anti-government statements in violation of the state of emergency was also cited as a ground for taking them in.

Arrested DU teacher Golam Mawla said they convened a press conference

at Rajshahi City Press Club a day before the party's central press conference at the Engineers' Institute Auditorium in Dhaka.

The DU teacher also named Mohiuddin Ahmed as their party's central leader.

Prior to arranging the press conference, the party activists distributed leaflets in the city-heart Saheb Bazaar area after Tarabi prayers on Sept 9. The party leaflets also carried anti-government slogans.

The party undertook steps to spread and propagate its activities by holding the press conference in Rajshahi for the first time, sources said. But police forestalled the move.

In the leaflets the group also urged the Muslim Ummah to unite during the holy month of Ramadan and "regain the lost glory".

They also made a call for what they said "toppling the government for restoration of Khilafat (caliphate)".

Especially, Rajshahi's Bagmara area was a stronghold of Islamic militants under JMJB, the operations wing of JMB, and Sarbahara outlaws in the last few years.

Back then, JMB's second-in-command Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai had launched a cleansing operation in 2004 against the outlaws in a bid to eliminate them. After the deadly drive, the terrorist activities were somehow under control.

Bangla Bhai and JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman and four other leaders were hanged in two judges' killing cases of Jhalakati last year.

[chottala.com] Afghans Free Dr Aafia Siddiqui's son. flown to Islamabad

 
 
 The Associated Press

Afghanistan frees young son of al-Qaida suspect

By ASIF SHAHZAD 

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — The 12-year-old son of a woman suspected of links to al-Qaida and facing charges in New York was freed Monday by Afghanistan and sent to his family in Pakistan, two months after he was detained with his mother.

Officials say the boy, Ali Hassan, and his mother, Aafia Siddiqui, were detained outside the governor's house in Afghanistan's Ghazni province in July. The American-educated Pakistani woman was then handed over to U.S. custody and flown to New York where she was accused of trying to kill U.S. personnel.

The U.S. indictment alleges that during Siddiqui's interrogation in Ghazni, the 36-year-old picked up a soldier's rifle, announced her "desire to kill Americans" and fired at U.S. soldiers and FBI agents. She was wounded by return fire.

American prosecutors say that when taken into custody in Afghanistan, she was carrying handwritten notes referring to a "mass casualty attack" and listing the Empire State Building and other New York landmarks. However, the indictment contains no charges of terrorism.

Ali was with his mother at the time of her arrest and had been in Afghan custody ever since, officials said.

A spokesman for Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry, Sultan Ahmed Baheen, said Ali had spent the previous 10 days in a "guest house" of Afghanistan's intelligence service. Before that, he was in the custody of a prosecutor who deals with minors, the ministry said.

Baheen said Ali is a dual American-Pakistani citizen because he was born in the United States.

Elaine Whitfield Sharp, who represents the family of Aafia Siddiqui, said the boy's release was "wonderful news."

"I'm just so happy for them. Finally, something good has happened for the family," Whitfield Sharp said by telephone from Massachusetts.

She added that she had spoken briefly with Aafia and described her client as "excited" to hear her son had been released.

Afghan authorities handed him over to Pakistani diplomats, who flew him to Islamabad on Monday evening. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry said he had been handed over to relatives of his mother.

Whitfield Sharp said the son was apparently now at the home of an uncle in Islamabad.

Pakistan's Express News television channel showed footage of Ali, a round-faced boy with dark hair, smiling shyly beneath a white prayer cap as an aunt kissed and embraced him at a house in the capital, Islamabad.

Fauzia Siddiqui told reporters her nephew was "very traumatized."

"He is like a dead body. They fed him and tried to make him look healthy, but he is disturbed," she said. "Thank God he is grown. He is a big boy now."

She said Ali told his relatives Monday that his name had been changed several times and that each change was followed by a change of location. But she did not elaborate.

Aafia Siddiqui came to the United States in 1990 and studied at the University of Houston and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she got a bachelor's degree in biology in 1995. She later studied neuroscience as a graduate student at Brandeis University.

She vanished in Pakistan in 2003.

In 2004, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller III identified Siddiqui as one of seven people the FBI wanted to question about suspected ties to al-Qaida. Her family has vehemently denied any link.

Fauzia Siddiqui said she didn't want to blame anyone for Ali's ordeal and expressed hope that the embrace of his relatives would allow her nephew to forget.

She dodged a question about the circumstances of her sister and nephew's detentions in Afghanistan.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters the U.S. was following the latest developments closely.

Aafia Siddiqui's lawyers claim that before she was arrested and brought to New York, she was kidnapped by U.S. operatives and kept in secret captivity in Pakistan. The ordeal, they said, left her with severe physical and mental problems.

Last week, a warden at a federal prison in Brooklyn notified a judge that Siddiqui is suffering from major depression.

U.S. officials deny she was ever in their captivity before she surfaced in Afghanistan in July.

Baheen said Ali was adopted by Siddiqui after his parents were killed in an earthquake that struck Kashmir in 2005. However, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammed Sadiq said DNA tests done by U.S. authorities showed that the boy was Siddiqui's biological son.

Associated Press writer Rahim Faiez in Kabul and Larry Neumeister in New York contributed to this report.
