Lt Gen Mubin made next army chief

---

The government has appointed Principal Staff Officer (PSO) of the Armed Forces Division (AFD) Lieutenant General Muhammed Abdul Mubin as the new army chief, report UNB and bdnews24.com.
Confirming this, a senior official of Prime Minister's Office said Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina has signed the appointment letter Thursday.
Lt Gen Mubin will replace General Moeen U Ahmed, who will retire on June 15. General Moeen was appointed on June 15, 2005 for three years, and was given one year's extension on April 6 last year.
Mubin made a nationwide televised statement shortly after midnight on Feb 28 to clarify that the general amnesty offered by the government during the Feb 25-26 BDR mutiny did not mean that rebel border guards involved in killings, rebellion and arson would be forgiven.
