Motive behind attack on Fakhrul to be known after probe: Minister

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan today said the motive behind the attack on a motorcade of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will be known after investigation.

"Those people who are involved in the attack also will be known after investigation,” the minister said.

The minister came up with the information while talking to reporters after attending a signing ceremony of Annual Performance Agreement of Security Services Division under the home ministry.

Yesterday, the motorcade of Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came under attack, allegedly by Awami League men, when the BNP leader was going to visit the landslide victims in Rangamati.

Fakhrul and six other BNP leaders were injured during the incident.

Replying to a question about politics over landslides, Minister Asaduzzaman said, "Hillside is a natural disaster... I've no idea whether one can get involved in doing politics over such an issue."
