The BDR mutiny probe committee has asked the government for more time to submit its findings, reports bdnews24.com.
"We have requested a time extension, as we have yet to complete the report," committee head M Anisuzzaman Khan told reporters Sunday.
The government named a ten-member investigation committee on Feb 27, headed by home minister Sahara Khatun. The government recast it on March 2, with retired civil servant Anisuzzaman replacing the home minister.
The new team began work on Mar 3. It was given seven days time to submit its findings, making it due on Mar 9.
"We have yet to finish some tasks. We will submit the report after completing them," said Anisuzzaman after a meeting with additional home secretary Golam Hossain, also a committee member.
On how many more days they needed, Anisuzzaman said: "The government will set it."
Asked if the report would be completed by the end of the week, the former secretary said: "It might not be possible." Pressed by reporters on the committee's findings, he said: "Nothing can be said right now."
"The government will make the report public after we submit it," he added.
Meanwhile, US Ambassador James Moriarty said two FBI agents from New Delhi have arrived in the city Sunday afternoon as an advance team to help investigate the BDR carnage.
Responding a query from reporters at Shilpokala Academy, he said the FBI agents would work with the authorities here to figure out how they would go forward with the investigation.
Moriarty said the two FBI agents were asked by Washington to come to Dhaka, and they will do preliminary survey this week. The Ambassador hoped for a quick turn round, but he is not sure.
Earlier, in the day, Foreign Minister Dr Dipu Moni told reporters that the FBI would extend all cooperation including forensic assistance in the investigation being conducted by the Bangladeshi department concerned. She said if necessary, more FBI agents would come to Dhaka.
The Foreign Minister said the government also sought assistance of Scotland Yard from British government. She said Scotland Yard personnel would also come here to help investigate the BDR headquarters incident.
