Right after spreading of anti-Semitic, anti-US and pro-Islamist campaign by a reporter with Associated Press in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s military backed interim government has suddenly withdrawn police protection from the residence of Weekly Blitz editor Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury as of last night. When contacted, the duty officer at Uttara Police station told Blitz that the “protection was withdrawn due to shortage of forces”, while another source on condition of anonymity disclosed that the police protection was withdrawn due to specific briefs from the top brass.
