CIA OPERATIVES IN BANGLADESH

The CIA operatives working in Pakistan and later independent Bangladesh were mainly responsible for plotting the killings of the liberal, secular intellectuals and professionals and the massacre of thousands of people during the liberation war. A majority of them worked under the cover of diplomats in the US embassies in Pakistan and then later Bangladesh. The most notorious amongst them were HAIGHT HUGH GREENOUGH and EILTS HERMANN FREDERICK who backed the civil affairs dept (a cover of ISI, the Pakistan Military intelligence) of Pakistan and did the blueprint for the elimination of secular Bengali intellectuals and professionals. Research done in this field shows that HAIGHT HUGH GREENOUGH worked as a mentor of notorious ISI head Rao Farman Ali and together, in association with the leaders of Muslim League and Jamat-e-Islam, they made a list of top five thousand Bengali intellectuals and professionals. During the liberation war of 1971 the list was handed over to the Jamati death squad (al-Badr) headed by Motiur Rahman Nizami and Nizami's goons killed the leading intellectuals of Bangladesh. In 1971 after the fall of Pakistan Haight fled to Thailand.

Philip CHERRY was the most notorious CIA operative in independent Bangladesh and believed to be the key person who plotted the assassination of Sheikh Mujib and his top associates in 1975 military coup.
