| 2015-10-24 | |
The incident took place near Hussaini Dalan, an important 17th century center for Dhaka's Shia community, where 25,000 people had gathered in the old part of the Bangladeshi capital. Local police chief Aziz Ahmed said a 12-year-old boy died, and that the injured were being treated. At least 10 people were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, and most of them were in a stable condition, according to Nazimunnesa, a deputy director. Witnesses said that people ran frantically after blasts, losing their flip-flops and sandals as they scattered. Police said that at least five bombs were thrown at the procession, three of which went kaboom!while two were recovered. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... other police officials believe the blasts were caused by improved bombs. Police cordoned off the area and were investigating the blasts. Nobody has yet claimed the responsibility for the attacks. "It is our apprehension that blasts were carried out only to panic the people and to create a chaotic situation," Colonel Ziaul Ahsan, an additional director general of the elite Rapid Action Battalion, told news hounds. | |
