Thousands of Islamist protesters in several cities demanded the execution of allegedly blasphemous bloggers, after being incited by the country’s 12 Islamic parties. Protesters attacked police and journalists in the capital city of Dhaka, and used sticks and homemade bombs in Palashbari. Police responded with live bullets in Palashbari, killing two protesters. Across the country, two other persons died in the violence and about 200 were wounded.
