Chronicle of attempts on Hasina's life

UNB, Dhaka
"If a person is afraid of death, life has no dignity, " Sheikh Hasina had told Newsweek way back on May 11, 1981 when she was elected president of the Awami League (AL) while in exile.
She had also said she was neither afraid of being killed nor deterred by the strength of the government she would face. "In one's life," she said, "Risks must be taken..."
"One of my priorities will be to restore the full democratic rights of all the people of the nation," Hasina had told the magazine a few days after her return on May 17.
Since then, Hasina has come under attack several times, but her party leaders said the velocity of the assassination attempt had never been so intensified as it was on Saturday.
Earlier the severest attack she faced was on January 24, 1988 when police in Chittagong had fired on a procession she was leading. Over 24 people were killed in the police firing.
On August 11, 1989, a group of
gunmen fired on Dhanmondi-32 house where she had lived at that time. The shooting, four days before August 15 mourning day, was believed to have been carried out by Freedom Party cadres.
She also came under attack a day after the death anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 16, 1983. Her house was
attacked again on October 16, 1986.
Sheikh Hasina was targeted several times during anti-Ershad movement and one such occasion was during Dhaka blockade on September 28, 1984.
Quoting newspaper reports, her party leaders said Sheikh Hasina's life also remained at stake after the fall of Ershad following a mass upsurge on December 6, 1990.
Bullets were fired targeting her during a by-election in Dhanmondi in the capital on September 11, 1991.
Unidentified gunmen shot at the bogie
of the train she was journeying by on September 23, 1994.
On December 7, 1995, her rally at Russel Square came under gun attack. Also a bomb attack on her rally at Bangabandhu Avenue on March 7, 1996 left 30 people injured.
Threats and attempts continued still after Sheikh Hasina led her party back to power after 21 years through June 12, 1996 general election under the constitutional caretaker government she fought for.
One young man, Anisul Bari, was arrested along with a revolver and 23 rounds of bullets while trying to enter her meeting at Ramna on January 6, 1997.
Detectives arrested 17 Jubo Command cadres while they were holding a meeting allegedly for planning to assassinate her in the name of an iftar party on January 30, 1997.
Several bombs were exploded in front of the Prime Minister's Office on April 26, 1999. A big bomb was planted at her meeting venue at Kotalipara on July 21, 2000.
As Sheikh Hasina was addressing an election meeting at Sylhjet Alia Madrasa ground on September 25, a bomb blew off, killing two of her party supporters.
Khaled, a man allegedly a cousin of Faruq Rahman, principal accused in the Bangabandhu killing case, tried to knife her while she was visiting Naogaon on March 4, 2002. Her motorcade came under attack in Satkhira on August 29 the same year.
In 2004, she and her party leaders came under attack at Barisal ferry ghat on February 26 and at Gournadi on April 2. She received a life threat while staying in Turkey on July 5 this year. And, lately it was a close call on August 21.
