According to Daily Star, Cofer Black, the US State Department's Coordinator for Counter-terrorism, after meeting Government officials in Dhaka on September 5 stated that Bangladesh and the United States are likely to sign a protocol on counter-terrorism collaboration soon after deliberations of cooperative proposals in the coming months in both Dhaka and Washington.
