Bangladesh blast mars election run-up

Twenty-two people are killed and more than 100 injured when a bomb ripps through the local offices of the country's ruling Awami League in Narayanganj.

The government has blamed the bomb, the latest in a series to rock the South Asian country, on right-wing parties, but no conclusive links have yet been established.

The violence came as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina prepares to step down from office after her five-year term ends on July 13, with elections under a caretaker authority due by October.
