Seven killed in Bangladesh after petrol bombs thrown at bus - Yahoo News

Seven killed in Bangladesh after petrol bombs thrown at bus - Yahoo News: "DHAKA (Reuters) - Opposition activists in Bangladesh trying to enforce a transport boycott threw petrol bombs at a bus early on Tuesday setting off a fire that engulfed the vehicle killing seven people, a fire department officer said.

The opposition rejected a general election just over a year ago and stepped up its protests last month in a bid to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to step down and hold a new election.

At least 51 people have been killed in political violence over the past month including the seven on the night-bus to Dhaka."
