Bangladesh firebomb attacks on bus and truck kill nine
Nine people have been killed after attackers hurled petrol bombs at a bus and truck in Bangladesh, the BBC reported, citing police.
Police reportedly blamed opposition activists for the violence, which also injured 30 others.
At least 70 people have been killed in attacks since anti-government protests began last month.
The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) called for a general shutdown in January, on the anniversary of last year's disputed election.
The BNP had boycotted that election, saying it would be rigged, and is now trying to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to step down and call new polls.
Six people died when petrol bombs hit a packed bus from the northern district of Gaibandha to Dhaka on Friday, police said.
A similar arson attack on a truck in the southern district of Barisal killed three people early on Saturday, police added.
