More details, almost 400 bombs all over the place. This isn’t minor organization if you can pull off something like this.
Too bad i don’t really know much more about the political situation in Bangladesh. How were earlier police investigations into these groups “politicized”?
“More Update at 23:00 hours: The government sources confirmed-
* 393 bombs exploded in 63 districts out of 64 districts of Bangladesh.
* Around 150 are hospitalized but hundreds more received minor injuries and went home after treatment. 2 confirmed dead till now.”
When around four hundred small bombs explode in 63 districts out of 64 districts of a country simulteneously it shows what kind of network the attackers possess (imagine 50 states out of 51 in US). This is a total mockery of the country’s internal security system as the attacks were at the key installations.
The ruling coalition includes the right wing Islami party who are constantly denying existence of the radical Islamic terrorist organizations that are funded by middle east and alleged to have links with international terrorists like Al Qaeda. The JI only received 5% vote in 1996 election but now coming up strong.
Its really a paradox as who is benefitting from these terrors. More at my blog.
It looks like this very serious events get very little attention. My newspaper did not even mention the hundreds simultaneous bombs.
….there are many reasons why Europe should pay more attention to India (and the other big southern democracies in the IBSA).
The knowledge of developments in the surrounding muslim countries to me looks more reliable than the US intelligence that is still influenced by the humiliation by Khomeiny and the support the US gave to Bin Laden and the likes of him. (quoting an older post of my site). Just to ask attention form SAAG: http://www.saag.org/%5Cpapers16%5Cpaper1506.html
Bangla Bai is aiming for a Taliban like regime in Bangla Desh.
FG,
Actually the EU does pay attention and has been quite involved in Bangladesh. Some of those militant islamic groups were banned partly due to external pressure by the EU. The EU is in a position to make strong appeals because Europe is Bangladesh no.1 export partner.
The fact that this little but influental role the EU has is totally unknown to journalists and the general public seems to speak for itself. Why doesn’t the media do a better job?
OT, Off topic but I can not resist.

With Mozilla the site looks ugly…
So apparently the EU supports the monopolists strategy not to comply with CSS standards!
A little more on topic: your comments reminds me of a link in a post by Doug M: http://europa.eu.int/comm/external_relations/china/intro/
EU pages dedicated to the EU relation with China.
One way to look at it is by focusing on the fact that *The* EU politics go their own way. (hence the NO in the referendums) Another way is indeed to look at the non-presence of European politics in political debate.
