, the Banglapedia entry on the 1971 killing of Bengali intellectuals mentions: Is Banglapedia talking about our subject? TrangaBellam (talk) 10:23, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Looks like it since we have confirmation that our subject served in the 1971 war as a Captain. TrangaBellam (talk) 10:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This book, edited by Ahmed Sharif, Shahriar Kabir, and Serajul Islam Choudhury, goes into details of Qayyum's maneuvers name-drops Qayyum as one of the main brains behind the targeted assassination of intellectuals in December. Besides, they describe an episode when Abdul Mannan — since convicted in independent Bangladesh as an Al-Badr collaborator — alluded to his rapport with Qayyum and Bashir to persuade Dr. Alim Chowdhury, a noted ophthalmologist, against fleeing from his house. When al-Badr eventually arrived to abduct him, Mannan remained incognito; his body would later be retrieved from the swamps of Rayer Bazaar. TrangaBellam (talk) 11:27, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I can also trace some information about Brig. Bashir (1, 2, 3, 4) and Lt. Col. Hejazi (3). Will create an article on the former. TrangaBellam (talk) 13:38, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
