CWN Editor's Note: Catholics and other Christians in Bangladesh marked the 25th anniversary of the Gopalganj Catholic church bombing, which left ten dead and 26 injured.
For a quarter century, the police investigation “has remained stalled, with frequent changes of investigating officers hindering progress,” UCA News reported.
