Bangladesh: Blogspeak on the Blasts · Global Voices
Neha Viswanathan

Hit by over 400 bombs, the Bangladeshi blogosphere provided perspective into the events of August 17 2005.
Bongo Vongo believes this to be the work of fascists. Rezwan asks pertinent questions and attempts to find some answers. ElectrikBlues writes an open letter to all Bangladeshis and asks:
a terrorist attack that involves the explosion of over 500 bombs is an endeavor that requires the involvement of at least 2000 people. chances are, you know someone who was involved in the planning and implementation of this attack. wife, brother, sister, husband, son or cousin – you definitely know someone who had a role to play. the question is not why they  did it, but rather why they did it.
More unanswered questions at A way in the world.
Unheard Voices provides details, gives an insight into the the group blamed through quotes and the leaflets found at the blast sites, and links to an article by Zafar on how Bangladesh cannot claim that it hasn't been warned. Wamy asks, “Why should we expect anything better?” saying,
For we allow the corrupt elite to run the country. Instead of overthrowing them from power, we praise them and nourish them and hope that someday these democratically elected corrupt leaders will do something really good for us, for the country.
