The Bangla bomb

Some 400 bombs exploded in Bangladesh yesterday. Crude, home-made, not intended to kill many, these bombs are a signal to Dhaka that they may in future kill many. India has been warning Bangladesh for a long time to control the growing fundamentalism in the hinterland, but Dhaka has always been denying any such growth.

The ISI has been very active in Bangladesh and Nepal, trying to fan a new wave of Wahhabi extremism. Time, Dhaka cracked down on its backyard. It'll help the sub-continent and the most the People's Republic of Bangladesh, who the jehadis want to turn into the Islamic Republic of Bangladesh.
