I just saw the breaking news on NTV. Bombs are going off everywhere in Bangladesh. The closest to my place was at Gulshan Bazaar. When I say that bombs are going off everywhere,I mean everywher. All the 6 divisions,have been attacked with bombs. I think the heaviest hit is in Dhaka,mainly in the Dhaka Uni Area. I'l Keep you guys updated...

All I am seeing about the casualties is the word- "AHOTO". I have not seen the word "NIHOTO" yet. So I Pray to God that noone dies.

We have a large thread covering all the latest news on this topic. I will post photo's and video footage too.

Why is this happening in Bangladesh? :blue_mad:

One person already died though the Police arrested 50 people already according to the Indian HC. I am sure that India has something to do with this! :blue_mad:

As far as I heard,its nothing to do with India. Most probably something related to the Islamic Foundation Thingy. Even near the bombs,they found articles written in Arabic and Bangla. I do not think they could come from India. Besides,we are allies,right? :? Anyways,whoever did it,did a very bad thing. :blue_idea;
