AP. 20 February 2003. Thousands protest in Bangladesh against possible
invasion of Iraq.

DHAKA -- Thousands of Bangladeshis demonstrated Thursday against a
possible U.S.-led attack on Iraq, and the Muslim-majority country made
plans to evacuate its citizens working in Middle Eastern countries if a
war breaks out.

About 10,000 demonstrators rallied in central Dhaka, the capital. Some
chanted: "Down with warmongers Bush and Blair!"

The demonstration was organized by a newly formed Citizens' National
Committee Against War, whose members include politicians, Islamic
clerics, newspaper editors, university teachers and lawmakers from Prime
Minister Khaleda Zia's ruling coalition.

"A war on Iraq will be an assault against humanity," said lawmaker
Delwar Hossain Saidi.

He urged the government to stand against an invasion of Iraq.
