SUBJECT: THREATENING LETTER AGAINST FOREIGN MISSIONS 
RECEIVED BY SWISS EMBASSY 
 
 ¶1. (SBU) On 02/12/2006, RSO was informed by the Canadian 
High Commission Security Officer that the Swiss Embassy 
received a general threat against foreign missions reportedly 
by the Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). The message was 
sent via letter and a scanned copy was sent to RSO. In these 
letters, the threat is not directly against the Swiss 
Embassy, but makes several threats against the BDG government 
and foreign missions. Below is a copy of the threat letter 
received by the Swiss Embassy. 
 
Begin verbatim: 
 
JMB...JMB...JMB... 
 
I Md. Masud Rana declare that...I am a JMB high official in 
Bogra town, I all time work against the government. This is 
our command from the cent real camp. Present prime minister 
is an very ignorant and she does not any work from her brain. 
So, she is ignorant woman. And her son is a third class 
leader. He is thinking I am prince of Bangladesh, but he is 
nothing, one day we must kill him. This is our main aim. Our 
next target judge and foreign mission in Bangladeshi high 
official, in few days, we will attacked in the Foreign 
mission. So, I want to warn of the foreign mission high 
official. And specially I want to say to bogra Judge in few 
days he give me resign from the post. No, I am unemployed. So 
I can do everything al though, now, I am doing oil and spa 
sprats business but, I am not satisfied of my work so, any 
time, any where, I can do attack in bogra. And tarique zia 
has done lot of corruption. Next, our main target he, my home 
in bogra city. Now, I want to see hos is police power. If, 
police able to arrest me then I will think police is ok, and 
if police unable to arrest me then, I will think police is 
foul defense of the BANGLADESH. Good bye Tarique zia, Good by 
police...(Mobile..0191-133962/0172-052114)

End Letter. 
 
 
¶2. (SBU) RSO Action: RSO FSNI made contact with the listed 
phone numbers and spoke to the wife of the named man in the 
letter. According to her, she started having trouble with the 
police around one week prior. Since then, her husband has 
been interviewed by the police several times. When asked 
about who could have sent the letter, the wife stated that he 
did not know of any grudges with friends or family members 
but her husband had an idea who it might have been. 
Regardless, the Swiss Embassy has notified the police and the 
police are further investigating the matter. Due to the 
suspect signing the letter GMB, and the overall context of 
the letter, RSO does not believe this to be a credible JMB 
letter or threat. This letter appears to be a poison pen as 
most in this region have many specifics on how to contact the 
"victim" of the poison pen. RSO believes that post's current 
security posture is adequate and considers this case closed.
