Thursday December 8, 12:46 PM Five killed, 50 hurt in Bangladesh
bomb blast
DHAKA (Reuters) - At least five people were killed and more than 50 wounded
in Bangladesh on Thursday when two bombs exploded during the morning rush hour
on a crowded street in a northern town, police said.
The bombs went off within the space of a few minutes in Netrokona, 360
km from the capital Dhaka. Police said the wounded included three
policemen. Many of the victims were people on their way to work at offices,
colleges and markets, witnesses said. No one claimed responsibility for the
blasts, but police blamed Islamist suicide bombers fighting for the
introduction of sharia law in the mainly Muslim democracy. "Two of the
dead including a woman have been identified, but identities of the rest are yet
to be ascertained," one police officer said. "We have reasons to believe
that one among the dead was a suicide bomber, who arrived on the spot on a
bicycle just moments before the blast," he added. Thursday's deaths took the
number of people killed by suspected suicide bombers to 25 in three weeks,
including judges, lawyers and policemen. Bangladesh has been hit by a wave
of bomb attacks since August by militants of banned groups, including the
Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, which seeks to turn mainly Muslim Bangladesh into a
sharia-based Islamic state.
