Police and locals said when the train, heading for Sagardari, reached Mobarakganj around 5:30pm the bomb exploded and the bogie caught fire. "It's set to go off at 5:30, you know." "Oh, don't worry. We'll be in Mobarakganj by then." Station Master Golam Mostafa of Mobarakganj Railway Station said passengers instantly leaped out of the train after the bomb exploded. "Gangway!" "Look out below!" "We're outta here!" On-duty railway personnel extinguished the fire. Sources said the bomb was probably in an overhead luggage compartment of the bogie. |
