The Reuters reports that people retrieve rolls of paper after unidentified activists set fire to a place where the papers were stored at the office of Naya Diganta, a newspaper that activists believe to be lenient to Jamaat-e-Islami, in Dhaka February 12, 2013. According to police, at least 50 cars have been vandalized and two police officers injured as Jamaat-e-Islami activists opened fire and clashed with law
enforcers in different parts of the capital after police had banned their rally on Tuesday. Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest radical Islamist party in Bangladesh, called for the rally to protest against the Shahbagh demonstration. Thousands of protesters participating in the Shahbagh demonstration demanded capital punishment for Jamaat-e-Islami leaders awaiting a court verdict for war crimes committed during the 1971 Independence War, as well as for one the leaders who received a life sentence, local media reported.
