Bangladesh: United Kingdom High Commissioner
- Question
- What information they have received from the Government of Bangladesh about the type of grenades used in the attempted assassination of the British High Commissioner to Bangladesh on 21 May 2004; and what conclusions they have reached about the source of those weapons and about how terrorists acquired them.
- Answer
-
We understand from analysis carried out in 2004 that although the type of grenade could not be identified, it was considered likely to be an Arges or similar type of grenade which may have been used in the attack at Sylhet. There appears to be no conclusive evidence which verifies either the source or the method of acquisition of the grenade used.
