2011 Bangladesh coup d'état attempt

The 2011 Bangladesh coup attempt was an attempted military coup planned in January, 2012. The coup participants were led by Syed Mohammad Ziaul Haque and are widely believed to have been backed by the pan-Islamist fundamentalist group Hizb ut-Tahrir. The coup was unsuccessful and, on January 19, 2012, the Bangladesh Army announced that they had prevented the coup and had arrested or implicated sixteen former or current mid-ranked officers. The Bangladeshi government attributed the coup to religious fundamentalism and a desire to institute sharia law in Bangladesh; coup participants stated that their goals related to nationalism and mistrust of the government's relationship with India. According to others, the coup was likely as a result of general discontent of internal structures in the military, possibly stemming from the government's handling of the 2009 Bangladesh Rifles revolt and resulting crackdown on the army.
