Background

The Caretaker government was in charge and responsible for holding the general elections. The government had deployed 50 military personal for extra security during the election. A Bangladesh Awami League election rally on 23 September 2001 was bombed in Bagerhat District.[3]

Attacks

Bangladesh Awami League were campaigning for the 2001 Bangladeshi general election.[4] Bangladesh Awami League is a secular political party.[5][6] On 26 September 2001, a Bangladesh Awami League rally in Sunamganj District was bombed killing 4 and wounding 10 people. The rally was led by Bangladesh Awami League politician Suranjit Sengupta.[7][8]

Trial

The Sunamganj bomb attack remains unsolved as of 2008.[9] The Government of Bangladesh believes Mufti Abdul Hannan, the leader of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami Bangladesh, was responsible for the attack. He was executed on 12 April 2017.[10][11]

gollark: I would probably use nginx, because I'm used to it and it has nicer configuration:```nginxhttp { # whatever important configuration you have for all HTTP servers, `nginx.conf` probably ships with some # fallback in case someone visits with an unrecognized Host header server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; return 301 http://somedomain$request_uri; } server { listen 80; # you may (probably do) want HTTPS instead, in which case this bit is somewhat different - you need to deal with certs and stuff, and use port 443 - also you should probably add HTTP/2 listen [::]:80; # IPv6 server_name domain1.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend1:8080/; } } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name domain2.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend2:8080/; } }}```
gollark: The reverse-proxy solution is in my opinion the best one, although it would require some config.
gollark: I think LetsEncrypt may not be very happy with that, though.
gollark: Yes, and you can just use a reverse proxy (with "vhosts" or whatever) for that, easy enough.
gollark: I think those are just what some webservers call "doing different things based on the host header".
