From Our Own Correspondent: Partisan Politics in Bangladesh

The Holey Bakery attack exposed failings in national security - is the fight against terrorism being compromised by Bangladesh's polarised party politics? Justin Rowlatt reports

Justin Rowlatt and his 大象传媒 team were the first journalists readmitted to the scene of the Holey Bakery attack in Dhaka - and found it still covered with signs of the horror of that assault. The state hunted down many of those involved, but now there are concerns about how the government is prosecuting its security policies. Is the fight against terrorism being compromised by the country's extremely polarised party politics - and what's to be done next?
