A Bangladeshi Air Force fighter jet crashed into a school building in Dhaka on Monday, killing at least 20 people and injuring over 170 in what officials are calling the worst aviation disaster in the country in decades. The crash occurred at Milestone School and College, a private institution in the capital city, as students were exiting class.
More than 20,000 Islamist activists flooded the streets of Bangladesh's capital city Dhaka, on Saturday to protest proposed legal reforms that would grant Bangladeshi women equal rights, including property inheritance.
