Fresh violence over the conviction of Jamaate-Islami's 91-year-old supremo Ghulam Azad left at least four persons dead, even as machete-wielding protesters on Tuesday went on a rampage enforcing a nationwide strike.
Two Islamist demonstrators, including a minor, were killed in police firing when several thousand Islamists attacked police with sticks, machetes and crude bombs in southwestern Satkhita, officials and reports said. "They (Jamaat) activists violently attacked us with lethal weapons and homemade bombs... we were forced to fire gunshots for our defence when the two died," a police officer said.
