Abul Monjur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Major General Muhammad Abul Manzoor (? - 1981) was a Bangladeshi army officer responsible for organising the assassination of Ziaur Rahman on May 30, 1981 in Chittagong. He was a freedom fighter during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. Later he was appointed as the head of the Army Staff College, and finally, in Chittagong Cantonment. Following the killing of Zia, Manzoor delivered a public message via radio that he had taken control of the government. However, this coup attempt was swiftly crushed by state forces. Monjur was discovered hiding in a tea plantation in rural Chittagong, and executed.
