30 hurt as AL, BNP activists clash at National Memorial
2012-03-27
[Bangla Daily Star] At least 30 people were maimed and 15 vehicles vandalised yesterday during a clash between activists of the ruling Awami League and the opposition BNP over who would be at the National Memorial first.
Seriously? Throw 'em all in jail for a while to ponder the stupidity.
Spurred by an earlier clash between two factions of the BNP, the half-an-hour-long incident also caused damage to a petrol station and a canteen before law enforcers could bring the situation under control.

The injured, mostly BNP activists, received medical treatment in local clinics.

At 6:15am, two factions of the BNP around 150 yards away from the entrance to the memorial in Savar got involved in a clash over who would get to welcome BNP chief Khaleda Zia
Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ...
 when she arrived to pay respects to the deaders of the Liberation War.

Law enforcers rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control and calm down the two factions, led by former Savar BNP politician Dewan Salahuddin Babu and upazila BNP president Haji Refayetullah.

#1  30 people hurt in a fracus as to who would greet her first? Wow. I wonder what would have happened if Madonna was in town? Or Paris Hilton? or the bisexual who was kicked out of Donald Trump's T and A contest.Oh trouble there.
