  • Sheikh Hasina claimed that there were 'conspiracies' at various phases of her life to kill her. 'Allah wants me to do something more,' she said.

The article from MSN discusses an assassination attempt on Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, which occurred in 1989. Sheikh Hasina narrowly escaped death by just 25 minutes when a bomb exploded at a political rally in Chittagong, targeting her. The attack was part of a broader conspiracy to eliminate her, orchestrated by the then-ruling military junta. Hasina, who was in exile at the time, had returned to Bangladesh to lead her party, the Awami League, in the elections. The bomb was intended to kill her and other key party members, but she had left the venue just before the explosion. This incident is often cited as a testament to her resilience and determination in the face of political adversity.
