DHAKA – Bangladesh court issued an arrest warrant on Wednesday for former Prime Minister and Opposition leader Khaleda Zia over a deadly firebombing attack last year, a prosecutor said.
The court also issued arrest warrants for 27 leaders and activists of Khaleda’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party in connection with the petrol bomb attack on a bus during a party protest in Dhaka in January last year.
“The court passed the order after accepting the charges against them,” public prosecutor Shah Alam Talukdar said.
