Washington's special envoy on counter-terrorism Joseph Cofer Black arrives here tomorrow on a two-day trip probably to discuss bilateral collaboration to combat terrorism. The former head of CIA counter-terrorism and now US State Department's coordinator for counter-terrorism is coming to Dhaka following the US State Department's recent observation on stronger terrorist presence in Bangladesh.
Black's visit is also seen as a sequel to US Assistant Secretary of State Christina Rocca's visit in May, when she noted, "Bangladesh is going off its tolerant track record," and Congressman Joseph Crowley's in January who said, "Intolerance is taking hold in some parts of Bangladesh."
