DACCA - At least 100 bombs of low power exploded in a nearly simultaneous way Wednesday in several cities of Bangladesh, including 15 in the Dacca capital, according to the police force.According to information's given by the police force, 111 bombs, apparently very of artisanal manufacture and low power, exploded in this Moslem country directed by a allied governmental coalition with the islamist parties.
Approximately 15 bombs exploded in the capital, 20 in the large port of the south-east of the country, Chittagong. Last nine explosions were announced to Barisal, in the south, and at least six in Khulna, in south-west.
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.
Absolutely 100% correct.
Looks like a quarter stick.
The only definition that would correspond to 'heresy' in the qu ran is saying something the local ayatollah mini-me declares against Allah's will and the punishment is death. The closest thing they have excommunication is - you guessed it - death.
Wow. Just Wow. Like a famous pundit says, sometimes you just need to bop people on the head.
If I mention the name I would have to post pictures...
They're really amazing over there. we get passionate here, but what's funny about DU is that all the posts seem to be written my the same person--Bush hate, swears, and conspiracy theories in every post.
My favorites so far:
Islam is incompatible with human life on earth

I think we should pull our troops out of Bangladesh right away
Oh wait
"I think we should pull our troops out of Bangladesh right away Oh wait ..."
Exactly. Let the stupid Muslims blow the hell out of each other for a change.
Has Focus on the Family claimed credit for the bombings yet?

Two killed, over 200 injured in 63 districts: an Islamic group claims responsibility
String of bomb blasts rock Bangladesh
Countrywide security alert ordered, check posts installed in each district
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Panic gripped the entire nation following the series of time-bomb explosions in all the district headquarters except Munshiganj that left at least two persons killed and more than 200 others injured on Wednesday.
Of the dead, a minor boy was killed on the spot at Savar and a rickshawpuller succumbed to the injuries in Chapainababganj district in the bomb attack and over 50 seriously injured victims were undergoing treatment at different hospitals and clinics.
The authority has imposed "Red Alert" soon after the series of bomb blasts, and directed the security forces to bring the Key Point Installations (KPI) and important public places under special security arrangement.
About 400 time bombs simultaneously exploded at different important public places including court-houses, airports and government offices in 63 districts including the capital city Dhaka within 30 minutes time from 11:00 am to 11:30 am triggered an alarming situation across the country.
According to the explosive experts, the bombs were home-made and crude. The detonator, which was connected with four pencil batteries by a couple of wires simultaneously, fused the bombs within 30 minutes time, experts added.
Several high-level security officials blamed the religious extremist outfit for the co-ordinated bomb attack across the country.
Jamaaet-ul Mujahedin, an outlawed Islamist extremist outfit unofficially claimed the responsibility of the series of bomb attacks.
Police recovered some leaflets written in Bangla and Arabic along with some unexploded bombs at different parts of the city after the incident. In the 2-page leaflets, the Jamaaet-ul Mujahedin urged the government for establishing Islamic rule in the country without wasting anymore time. They also called upon the Musim Ummah to participate in their mission to make the country an Islamic Republic."
Islam on the march, what's new?
You stepped in DU and then tracked it back into FreeRepublic???
Ewww!!!
Maybe they were trying to catch fish. Half of Bangladesh is under water..
"They just went after us first because the Koran gives instructions on the order in which to attack each of the types of "infidels". This maybe the start of plan B."
Oh, THAT'S a plan: tick off 750,000,000 Indians before finishing with 300,000,000 Americans and 75,000,000 British.
What's this plan's name? Operation Babaganoujrossa?
Nobody said it was a smart plan..in fact seems rather stupid to me that they are pissing off every country on earth right now but hey who can question the Koran?
"...but hey who can question the Koran?"
The other 5 billion of us.
I like our odds.
LOL
On Saturday, one person was killed and 50 others injured after several bombs were thrown at a Muslim shrine in eastern Bangladesh. In May last year, the British High Commissioner in Bangladesh was hurt in a grenade explosion at a Muslim shrine in the north-eastern town of Sylhet.
....leaflets emanating apparently from a recently prohibited islamist group calling with the application of the Koranic law to Bangladesh.
Islam preaches that those of the Hindu religion and the Buddhists are even more "evil" than Christians and Jews. ... How?
