Ziaul Ahsan a 'serial killer'

Former Army officer Ziaul Ahsan, now under arrest in a crime against humanity case, has been branded a "serial killer" by former chief of Army staff Iqbal Karim Bhuiyan during testimony before the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT).

Iqbal made the remark while responding to cross-examination at Tribunal-1, where he also said he had opposed Ziaul's promotion for that very reason.

Defence lawyer Aminul Ghani Titu cross-examined him, along with Ziaul's sister Naznin Nahar, who represented her brother at the tribunal.

Ziaul was brought to the tribunal on Wednesday morning.

The tribunal is led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder. The other member of the tribunal was sessions judge Mohitul Haque Enam Chowdhury.                �"bdnews24
