Terror strikes again



This is Barbaric! 9 passengers were burnt alive when a BRTC double-decker caught on fire following an arson attack by unidentified assailants. Both the decks were filled with gunpowder which took only few minutes to burn it out. This is an act of terrorism. Everyone knows who is behind this. Awami League had been burning buses and destroying public and private properties for long. Though a bus loaded with passengers were not targeted before, they are doing this each and every time they call a strike. They called a strike today and did this again - probably to impress Rumsfeld who is coming today. This is not acceptable. And government cannot seat idol. It cannot just blame the other party and take no measures to prevent such acts. Why police is not able to bring the perpetrators to justice? Why BRTC installations are not secure? Why Awami League is allowed to do politics and continue their destructive activities? This is a time to take hard and courageous decisions. No matter what the west has to say about it. Just crack down on terrorists. We live in a free country. We cannot let this happen again and again.

Update: Police thinks that the arson attack was initiated by someone inside. One severely injured passenger died in hospital - totaling the number of dead to 10.

  1. Yes we cannot let this happen. What I read in the newspaper that this arson was done by some culprits on the issue of leasing the buses from BRTC. Whatever it is our country has been filled with some inhuman creeps who should be eliminated. Another military operation like "Operation cleanheart" is needed to track and stop these wastes of the country.
