The grenade attack on the AL rally has revealed Bangladesh's vulnerability. We had incidence many bomb attacks, but the carnage of Bangabandhu Avenue was deadlier than the previous ones.
 
Democracy or dictatorship in USA?
In the disguise of 'government of the people, by the people and for the people' President George Bush has turned the US democracy into dictatorship and he has become the greatest dictator of the 21stcentury.
 
Use of power-saving bulb

Thanking SAPUFC
I would like to extend my gratitude to the SAPUFC and the other organisations along with the police forces that defended the Ahmadiyya mosque on August 27.
 
Can they help?
Our country Bangladesh has been stunned by the sudden disastrous incident of the bomb blasts in the AL meeting. Not only Bangladesh, the whole world can also be taken into account.
 
Now is the time to unite
I truly believe that some of the bombing incidents could have been avoided with a bit of careful planning by the security forces.
 
"Inscribing vehicle number inside the vehicle"
I strongly feel that it is essential to write down vehicle number at a conspicuous place inside the scooter and the taxi cab that run on hire so that the passengers can see it easily.
