Bangladesh


My friend came to me
With sadness in his eyes
Told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies
- George Harrison, Bangladesh


We don't yet know the toll, but according to CNN the count so far is 350 bombs detonating nationwide, 115 people so far injured.
Bangladeshi authorities said they had received reports of bomb blasts from 36 districts across the country.

Jamayetul Mujahedin, an Islamic militant group, claimed responsibility for the attacks in leaflets distributed around many of the blast sites.
I'll never understand why bloodthirsty animals are always so willing to announce their guilt, but there you have it. Another front on The War on Terror.
