NEW WORLD RECORD

Islamist bombers in Bangladesh have been busy:

More than 100 small bombs have exploded almost simultaneously in towns and cities across Bangladesh, police said, including 15 in the capital Dhaka and 20 in the south-eastern port of Chittagong.

Police in some affected cities said leaflets - apparently from a recently banned Islamic extremist group calling for the implementation of Islamic law - were found near the scene of the blasts.

Mazeedul Haq, Chittagong's police Commissioner, said the leaflets bore the name of the banned Jamayetul Mujahideen and read: "It is time to implement Islamic law in Bangladesh. There is no future with man-made law."

As if living in the 7th century is a future. Anyway, just to make sure every angle was covered, the bombers left further justification:

"Bush and Blair be warned and get out of Muslim countries. Your days of ruling Muslim countries are over."

See, it is all about Iraq.
