M.A. Qader-Our Correspondent in Bangladesh

Bangladesh for the first time will export the skin, bones, teeth and meat of crocodile by an export company from this December. "We expect to start the export of crocodile parts from next December," said Mushtaq Ahmed, the chief executive of the country's only company dealing with crocodiles - Reptiles Firm Ltd, recently. "As many as 100 crocodiles will be exported in first batch," he said "The hide of the crocodile will be the main export product. A crocodile with all its meat, bone, and teeth can be sold up to $ 1500."

Sufferings in the Lionland

Dr. A.R.M. Imtiyaz - USA.

Let’s celebrate suffering of others,
Let’s rejoice slaughter of others,
from street to street,
from village to village
in our Buddha’s lionland with milk rice!
who will say you are ruthless blood-lover?
say, simply they all are vicious terrorists!
so we celebrate their blood.
And you will guilelessly collect global support
from those who perform butchery
in their own holy lands
against their rebelling groups.
