1 killed, 20 hurt in Bangladesh protests

Clashes between Bangladeshi police and supporters of an Islamic opposition party left one man dead and about 20 injured Wednesday as a nationwide general strike continued for a second day. Protesters belonging to the Jamaat-e-Islami party tried to stage a march in Dhaka's southern Jatrabari suburb. The party called the strike to denounce a court decision that its registration with the Election Commission was invalid.
