The authorities in Iraq said at least 15 people have died in a new wave of bomb attacks south of the capital Baghdad. Iraqi police said the blasts struck cities, including Karbala, Nasiriyah, Kut and Basra. The blasts happened shortly before the evening meal that ends the day-long fast during the holy month of Ramadan. Earlier in the day, attacks in northern Iraq left at least six people dead.
And Police in Bangladesh have clashed with several hundreds of supporters of the country's largest Islamic party ahead of the verdict in the trial of an Islamic leader charged with war crimes. Ghulam Azam is accused of committing crimes during the country's 1971 war of independence. Prosecutors at a special tribunal say Mr. Azam, who is 90, should receive the death penalty for his role in setting up violent militia groups that killed thousands of people. His supporters say the charges are politically motivated. Early verdict against Islamist leaders triggered nationwide protests.
