Bangladesh bans Islamist group after lawmaker attack
None
Bangladesh has banned Hizb ut-Tahrir, a controversial international Islamist group, for trying to destabilize the country, days after unidentified attackers bombed the car of a lawmaker from the ruling party.
Hizb ut-Tahrir, which officials say has been banned in at least 20 countries, topped a government list of about 10 groups suspected of plotting subversive acts in Bangladesh, Home minister Sahara Khatun said. (Reuters)
