 The police in Bangladesh have detained 22 suspected Islamist militants in connection with the bomb blasts on Tuesday which killed nine people and injured 65. The father and two brothers of Abul Bashar, the suspected suicide bomber who was wounded in the blasts that occurred outside a court building in the southern port city of Chittagong, are among those detained. According to the police, the attack believed to have been carried out by Bashar, killed three people and the alleged bomber also lost both legs and his right hand in the attack.
| Now qualified for position as a mullah, all the good ones are missing body parts |
| They never seem to mention that possibility in jihad school, do they? |
The police quoted Bashar as saying: "I have no remorse. I did what I was supposed to do and I did it as per the will of Allah."
| Except for the whole "kill yourself" part. But, that can be fixed. |
| Doesn't that mean it was Allah who ripped his legs off? Will there be 36 slightly sullied wenches to wait on him and change his colostomy bag? |
The second blast occurred in Ghazipur, just outside Dhaka, where five people were killed, including the suspected suicide bomber.
| He's now trying to figure why it's so blasted hot in Paradise and why the doe-eyed maidens all have fangs... |
| They change colostomy bags in Hell? Who knew? |
No one has claimed responsibility for the blasts, but the police suspect a banned Islamic group, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen. The group wants to establish Sharia Islamic law in Bangladesh and is one of three Islamic groups outlawed after the authorities linked them to a series of blasts. Bangladesh's prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia, who was touring the coastal Patuakhali district when Tuesdayâs bombs exploded, vowed tough action against those involved in the attacks. âThe bombers were enemies of Islam and enemies of the country. We will do everything and anything needed to stop them,â she told a rally.
| Stop talking about it, just do it. |
| I'll believe it when a few holy men are tragically bumped off in RAB crossfires. |
Protests were held on Wednesday by lawyers, demanding that the government take action against those who conducted the attacks which happened outside courthouses. They called for a day-long general strike on Thursday, which has been backed by opposition political parties.
| Wonder if lawyers here would do the.......nah |
