 DHAKA: At least 22 ruling party members were injured in two bomb attacks in southwestern Bangladesh, police said on Sunday, ruling out Islamic hard-line groups blamed for a recent series of explosions.

Seven youth wing members of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party were hospitalised when a homemade bomb was hurled outside the party office in Keshobpur, additional superintendent of police Nuruzzaman Bhuiyan said.
| There'd been several Rosicrucians seen lurking about. It was prob'ly them... |
He said nobody claimed responsibility for the attacks late Saturday but two men were arrested in connection with the violence. "We are investigating whether the attack was due to internal tussles among the youth wing members of the party," Bhuiyan said.
| "Yeah, see, we're figurin' they dunnit themselves..." |
Two ruling party members were also seriously injured in a separate bomb attack in a remote village in neighbouring Chuadanga district, police said, again ruling out any link to Islamic or Maoists groups. |
