Bangladesh On A Knife’s Edge: Bomb Blasts Rock Dhaka Hours Before Hasina Verdict

Bangladesh News: Dhaka remains tense after crude bomb attacks ahead of Monday’s International Crimes Tribunal verdict against ex-prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who is being tried in absentia on crimes-against-humanity charges tied to 2024 protests. Security forces have been heavily deployed, with police ordered to open fire on arsonists. Multiple attacks targeted police sites and Grameen Bank offices. Hasina called the charges “entirely false,” while her son warned of escalating protests if the Awami League remains banned. Authorities deny political motives and pledge to enforce the verdict.
