what happened on August 17 2005 in Bangladesh was the manifestation of the internal fragility of a country which is divided on the political ideology, if one finds much difference between two mainstream political thoughts. This had to happen as the political bickering gathered momentum, one to evict incumbent from power and other to grab it, relegating the national security aspect inspite of the writing on the wall. What happened on 17th August 2005 was not some- thing new, i.e. bomb blast, but what was awesome was the enormity of the event. The 17th August blasts, till date, are unprecedented in the annals of the history of terror. Hardly any parallel can be drawn where the whole country had been rocked in a synchronized terror event.
