JODHPUR: A Bangladeshi national was among several men being questioned on Friday in connection with the bombing of one of India’s holiest Islamic shrines that left two dead, police said. “One Bangladeshi and five others are being questioned,” a senior police official said on condition of anonymity. No charges had been brought against the suspects, who were detained after a handbag containing a mobile phone was recovered from the blast site in the northern pilgrimage town of Ajmer in Rajasthan state. | A Bangladeshi, you say?

Indian officials have previously named a Bangladesh-based militant outfit, Harkatul Jihad al-Islami, as the prime suspect in a series of deadly bombings this year in the southern city of Hyderabad, in which 54 people were killed.
