I have just discovered this photo in documentation found from my recent stay in Bangladesh. It is a wonderful example of the political situation found in Dhaka today (Mentioned in my Travel 7 post earlier), whenever there is a hartal (strike).
The attacker (terrorist/anarchist) is a member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party's youth wing, attacking a group of policemen huddled in a shop doorway. It is quite noticeable that the police are wearing protective clothing and carrying weapons including a rifle and tear gas guns. I can only assume, from my experience, that the police either do not have ammunition for their weapons, or they are obeying an order not to shoot.
