Blasts and opposition protest hit Dhaka |
2005-02-04 |
![]() The main opposition Awami League party and its allies continued a countrywide protest against a grenade attack at a rally late last month, in which five people including a senior Awami leader and former finance minister were killed. Thursday's strike came as the Bangladesh government fumes over the postponement of a South Asian summit, due to start in Dhaka at the weekend. The meeting of leaders from seven South Asian countries was shelved after India's prime minister pulled out because of a political crisis in Nepal and New Delhi's concerns about security in Bangladesh. |
