with tanks and killed Mujib, his family and personal staff. Only his daughters Sheikh
Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, who were visiting West Germany, escaped. They were banned
from returning to Bangladesh. The coup was planned by disgruntled Awami League
colleagues and military officers, which included Mujib's colleague and former confidanté
Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad, who became his immediate successor. There was intense
speculation in the media accusing the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency of having
instigated the plot. Lawrence Lifschultz has alleged that the CIA was involved in the coup
and assassination, basing his assumption on statements by the then-U.S. ambassador in
Dhaka, Eugene Booster.
Mujib's death plunged the nation into many years of political turmoil. The coup leaders
were soon overthrown and a series of counter-coups and political assassinations
paralyzed the country. Order was largely restored after a coup in 1977 gave control to
the army chief Ziaur Rahman. Declaring himself President in 1978, Ziaur Rahman signed
the Indemnity Ordinance, giving immunity from prosecution to the men who plotted
Mujib's assassination and overthrow.
