The police force also brought back 61 explosions which have occurred in eleven other cities.
The police force had initially made state of around fifty of attacks. "Of the bombs exploded everywhere in the country. We have information on casualties but not yet on deaths ", had said to AFP the chief of the police force, Abdul Kaiyum.
In some of these cities, the police force found leaflets emanating apparently from a recently prohibited islamist group calling with the application of the Koranic law to Bangladesh.
Not according to quotes made by President Bush. Then again, President Bush said that "family values do not stop at the Rio Grande" so take his quotes with caution.
LOL!
LOL! True . . .
Probably the only reason for BBC to cover it is to trash Bush and Blair. I don't think they're even mentioning it on Fox, though, to be fair, I haven't been paying complete attention.
Varying number of bombs reported.
Over 200, according to ABC.

And here I thought it was Mennonites </sarcasm>
"artisanal manufacture"
Sounds like "botique" bombs.
You call that a "bomb"? Every kid in my neighborhood growing up would have been considered a terrorist at 13 years old.
lol
LOL!
Hope this is not just warmups, a practice run. The increase of Moslem on Moslem violence ought to bring about an Islamic reform so they can adopt some modern practices such as declaration of heresy and excommunication. Surely there is supporting text in their book.
No excommunication, they have to kill them. Such a civilized little cult they have.
They can declare apostasy, but then, they have to declare a fatwa and hunt them down. Life is simple for some.
Yes, I guess the logic he's so subtly hinting at is that we bomb Muslims. Yep, we're so anti-Muslim, the way we SAVED Muslims in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq--we're saving them from tyrants because we're racists!
Fox News says over 300 bombs. heh errr Fire Crackers
It's Bablefish so it may be totally inaccurate, but THAT is a scarier thing to read than that 111 bombs got past Bangladeshi security.
Yeah! Better yet, Bangladesh should pull all of its troops out of Iraq immediately
Oh, wait....
Obviously, Bush/Cheney engineered these attacks in Bangladesh in order to steal all their oil for Halliburton!
