DHAKA, Bangladesh Dec 8, 2005 — A bomb ripped through a crowded street in northern Bangladesh on Thursday, killing at least five people and wounding dozens in an attack police said may have been carried out by a suicide bomber on a bicycle.
The blast in the town of Netrokona occurred about an after authorities defused another bomb in the same area, said police officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
BAGHDAD (Reuters) – A suicide bomber killed 30 people and wounded at least 18 in an attack on a bus in a busy Baghdad bus station on Thursday, police said.
The vehicle was about to leave the Nahda bus station in the city center for the Shi’ite city of Nassiriya when the bomber got on board and detonated his explosives, they said.
It was the second big blast in three days in the capital, a week before a parliamentary election, and followed a similar attack on the bus station in August, when bombers targeted buses headed for Shi’ite dominated southern Iraq.
Iranian regime’s meddling in Iraq became more evident following the discovery of a torture center in that country in November.
An Iraqi official investigation into the torture of more than 170 Iraqi detainees in a center belonged to the Interior Ministry in Baghdad found that forces guarding the center had close ties with the clerical regime in Iran.

In an under-reported interview, the head of International Atomic energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, told the British daily Independent that if Iran acts on its threat to reopen its Uranium enrichment underground facility at Natanz, then Tehran could be only “a few months” away from a nuclear weapon after the plant begins its operation. Say what? Only “a few monthsâ€?

A US military doctor says US troops intervene when they can, but Iraqis run the jails.
By Dan Murphy | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
 BAGHDAD AND CAIRO – After a US raid on a secret Iraqi government jail last month revealed some detainees were tortured and abused there, Interior Minister Bayan Jabr insisted abuse claims were exaggerated and that torture will not be tolerated in the new Iraq.
US soldiers and some Iraqi officials disagree. They say not only is prisoner abuse widespread, but that much of it is carried out by Mr. Jabr’s subordinates. Efforts to bring the problem under control during the past year have largely been frustrated by indifference from senior Iraqi officials, they say.
 Tehran, Iran – The Supreme Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) declared on Tuesday that the United States would suffer a greater defeat in Iraq than it did in its war in Vietnam. Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi told a gathering of senior military commanders in the north-eastern city of Mashad that a future Iraq would be in the hands of Muslims.
Claiming that the U.S. was attempting to establish a world order in which only it would be a superpower, Safavi said, “America’s uni-polarised policy in the world has been met with failure”.
 CAIRO (Reuters) – The international community is starting to lose patience with Iran over its nuclear plans but military action is not the solution, the head of the U.N’s nuclear watchdog said in remarks published on Wednesday. In an interview with Arabic daily Al-Hayat, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei said the global community was worried Iranian ambitions to enrich uranium could lead to nuclear weapons.

Iran’s state television (IRIB) reported that the government has ordered a two day public holiday due to high air pollution levels.
Well, Tehran’s air pollution, for many years has been the topic of discussion but what has happened suddenly that the pollution causes a two day holiday?
It turns out that today is also recognized as the day of student uprisings in Iran On this day, it is customary that students all over the country gather and celebrate. But during the past few years, these gatherings have been quite troublesome for the government.
On one hand we have to agree that this was a cleaver move. On the other hand this demonstrates to an observer how shaky things are for the Mullahs in Tehran.
