I had know both Munier and Masud personally. I am so sorry for our loss, loss of their families and friends. What a tragedy. This one is felt deep in our hearts. May their souls rest in eternal peace.
Devastated to learn of this terrible tragedy. Heartfelt condolences to Catherine and to the bereaved families and the injured. It’s a terrible blow and such a colossal waste. I had the privilege to have met Tareque and Catherine.
My heartfelt condolences to Catherine and her little boy regards this tragic and untimely loss of husband and father. I hope Catherine will fully and speedily recover from her injuries.
What a great loss for the country of these two important media people who documented so well its past and present.
