All bombers to be brought to book soon: Khaleda

"They will be isolated from people like the bombers," she observed apparently in an oblique reference to the main opposition Awami League.

She said people are extending cooperation in the government-sponsored drive against "bomb terrorists" and all the bombers will be caught and brought to the justice shortly. "It's a matter of time."

The prime minister made the observations during consultation with a delegation of Bangladesh Muslim League (BML) as part of the ongoing national dialogue to find ways to eliminate 'bomb terrorism'.

She lamented that when political parties, professional bodies, freedom fighters, alem-ulema took part in the dialogue and people's unity was built against bomb terrorism, some quarters are commenting against the dialogue.

A 22-member BML delegation led by its President ANM Yusuf and Secretary General Mohammad Nuruzzaman Munna took part in the dialogue at the International Conference Centre (ICC).

After the meeting, the Muslim League secretary general told reporters that they supported the government action against bomb terrorists.

"A foreign power is working behind the bombing carnage," he said and proposed that the government should unearth that external force.
