 DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - A senior U.S. official asked the Bangladeshi government Thursday to fully investigation the January grenade attack on a political rally that killed five opposition members and wounded 100 people.
The dead in the Jan. 27 attack on the opposition rally included the former finance minister, who had moved into the opposition. The opposition Awami League blamed the government for the grenade attack 75 miles northeast of Dhaka.
A similar attack in Dhaka last August killed 21 people and wounded more than 300. The government denied involvement and condemned the attack — but failed to make any headway in catching those responsible.
