| China's Tibet to reward tips on "terror attacks" | | Sunday, February 01, 2015 4:16 AM | |
| | Authorities in China's Tibet will offer rewards up to 300,000 yuan ($48,000) for tips on "violent terror attacks", state media reported, in an effort to "promote stability" in the region beset by ethnic tensions. China has stressed that it is facing a serious and complex struggle against terrorism, and other provinces and regions have offered similar payouts for information on what authorities deem terrorism crimes and suspects. In Tibet, the government will give rewards for tip-offs on "overseas terrorist organisations and their members' activities inside China", and the "spreading of religious extremism", the official Xinhua news agency said late on Saturday. Information on "terror related propaganda, those producing, selling and owning weapons, activities that help terrorists cross national borders and terror activities via the Internet," will also be eligible for rewards, Xinhua said, citing a document from Tibet's public security officials. |

| Bangladesh opposition says leader's Internet, electricity cut | | Sunday, February 01, 2015 3:30 AM | |
|  By Ruma Paul DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladeshi opposition activists accused the government of cutting the power, Internet and cable connections at their leader's office on Saturday to pressure her into calling off a strike after days of violent anti-government protests. The disconnections were reported soon after the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Khaleda, called another 72-hour strike from Sunday morning along with its ongoing blockades of roads, railways and water routes. Senior ruling party member Hassan Mahmood earlier on Saturday warned that communications at Khaleda's office would be cut if she did not call off protests before school exams on Monday. "We have been asked to fix the line and we have restored the connection," an employee of the Dhaka Electric Supply Company said.
