Islamic Protesters Clash With Police in Bangladesh

Islamic protesters clashed with police in Bangladesh, on Friday.

Protesters threw rocks, bottles, and other objects at police officers who responded with tear gas.

Two people were killed and at least one hundred injured, in the violence.

The protests were organized in reaction to Sunday's decision to try leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami for war crimes.

Jamaat, the leading Islamic political party, was joined by their alliance of eleven other Islamic parties.
