Bomb wounds six people in Bangladesh town

At least six people were injured when a bomb exploded in a town north of Dhaka on Wednesday, 11 days after a deadly grenade attack at an opposition rally in the capital killed 19, police said.
The bomb went off at the main market in Gazipur, 50 km (31 miles) from Dhaka, a police officer said by telephone.
Police said the blast spread panic in the town.
"Three of the wounded have been shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition," a Gazipur doctor said.
Police said they had found another crude bomb at the Gazipur Press Club.
"The bomb was found in a water bucket in one of the club rooms, and later taken away by police", said Iqbal Ahmed, a newspaper reporter and general secretary of the press club.
Bangladesh has been hit by a wave of unrest and often-violent general strikes since seven grenades were thrown at the August 21 rally as Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina had just finished addressing the crowd.
About 150 people were wounded in the attack which Hasina, a former prime minister, says was aimed at her.
Bangladesh has a history of unexplained bomb attacks at opposition rallies, cinema halls, concerts and mosques.
Nearly 2,500 activists from about 20 women organisations, including lawyers, politicians, professionals and NGO workers, staged a peaceful rally in Dhaka on Wednesday to protest the August 21 grenade attack and other bombings.
Holding black flags and wearing black badges as a mark of mourning, they called on both the government and opposition to help end the violence.
The Awami League has called on the government of Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia to resign and has led a series of often-violent protests and strikes.
Khaleda has rejected Hasina's call to step down and has ordered an immediate probe into the grenade attacks led by a Supreme Court judge and called in Interpol experts to help in the investigation.
Hasina's Awami League and Khaleda's Bangladesh Nationalist Party have blamed militants linked to each other for the attacks, which have killed at least 105 people since 2000.
