Bangladeshi clash


Security has been increased in the south-western Bangladesh district of Kushtia, following a clash between the Sunnhi and Ahmadiya communities.

At least thirty people were injured when a group of Sunnhis attacked an Ahmadiya community mosque, which they alleged was being used to broadcast religious programmes on satellite television.
