Ex-PM Sheikh Hasina.



Dhaka, Oct 17 - Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Thursday said they will take necessary steps and try to bring former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina back home as the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today issued arrest warrant against her and top Awami League leaders.

"We just have come to know this. We will try and take necessary preparations," he told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The adviser said they have one month time in hand. "I don't want to say anything further," he said when asked for further details.

The International Crimes Tribunal also directed the authorities concerned to produce the 46 accused, including Sheikh Hasina, before it after arresting them by November 18. - UNB
