Blasts Kill 15, Hurt 200 in Bangladesh

.c The Associated Press 

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - Bombs exploded simultaneously Saturday at three movie houses in northern Bangladesh, killing at least 15 people and wounding at least 200 others, a news report said.

The movie houses were filled because of Islamic Eid-ul-Fitr festival marking the end of the Ramadan month of fasting.

The explosions occurred in Mymensingh town, 70 miles north of the capital, Dhaka, the United News of Bangladesh reported.

The report said the death toll was likely to increase.

One bomb exploded when a large number of people were coming out of a movie theater after the evening show. Two other bombs went off at two other theaters, where the films were in progress.

Could this be Muzz on Muzz terror? It wouldn't be the first time. It's done in Algeria w/ 100,000 killed in the last decade.

Perhaps the Muslims in the movie theaters were somehow profaning Islam ?

Bill Clinton mentioned Bangladesh during his appearance at the DLC the other day. It seemed strange to me at the time. Strange, because he was chiding Bush for not doing all he could to go after the terrorists. Bangladesh just seemed to come out of left field. Maybe just a coinkydink, but I wouldn't put anything past him.

Interesting thought. But aren't the true die hard fanatics only the true believers in Islam anyways? Looks to be a true purification of their ranks!

maybe any of the multitudes of victims of muslim terror, Hindu militants, etc., have decided to give them a taste of their own evil, and to see if they have a stomach for the holy war they so fervently crave.

At Least 15 dead 200 wounded SO FAR!!!

According to CIA world fact book:

Religions:
Muslim 83%, Hindu 16%, other 1% (1998)

Yes, well this has been going on for ages now in that region, with Hindus attacking Muslims and Muslims attacking Hindus. Tough to say who started what, really.

recent news reports claim that there is a talibanization by fundamentalists in progress.

[Thane_Banquo]

Wow. These Muslims sure are teaching us a lesson by killing their own people. Man. We should rethink our entire foreign policy...

Not!
Shyah! As if!

I'll propose a side bet with you. I'm betting on the Hindis being behind this. Remember Bali is largely Hindi. Remember Hindi riots againsts Muslims after the train fire massacre in India. And Muslim terorists are trying to pull Kashmir and Jammu away from India. There is no love lost between those two groups at all, and the Hindis believe in fighting back.

According to CIA world fact book:

that has to be an oxymoron.

That guy who said Sudan was ready to give Osama up to Clinton, said on Fox last week that the Al-Queda No.2 guy (that fat F*** whats his name) came into Bangladesh and portends trouble in that area especially Indian Nuke plants.

Looks like the Muslims are having fun with their "die" festival. Oh wait...sorry...I mean their "eid" festival.

"Maybe just a coinkydink, but I wouldn't put anything past him."

I don't believe in coincidence and I think you hit upon something with the Clinton reference. It is the modus operandi of the left to use force. Considering the Arkancides of his administration and his sell out to China, it wouldn't surprise me to find him and his international marxist cronies stirring one corner of that Bangladesh pot.

#1 The victims could be of the Hindu minority. Doubtful but possible. The article may be a muddled first account. 

#2 If the victims are Muslim I would say the bombings were done by Muslims. So you have a bet. My reasoning is there aren't enough Hindus left in Bangladesh to mount such an attack.

[Domestic Church]

"And Muslim terorists are trying to pull Kashmir and Jammu away from India."

And China is apt to make the most of forwarding it's agenda while this is ongoing. China will use this terrorism as an opportune tool if they can get away with it.

Interesting.
