Saleha's husband Shafiuddin said their niece Rozina found an abandoned grenade at a place in the area at around 11:30am and took it to their house. As Saleha tried to pull the pin out of the grenade, it exploded with a big bang, killing the two on the spot, he added. Local people said they have heard a big sound in the cantonment area at around 11:45am. It remained unearthed as of 6:00pm yesterday how the grenade came to be there in the cantonment area. Local sources said the opposite side of the college is usually being used as firing zone. ''The grenade might be left there mistakenly during firing exercises," they said. After post-mortem examination at Bandarban Sadar Hospital, bodies of Saleha and Rozina were buried at a local graveyard with the help of local municipal authorities. Local army authority has given money and relief goods to Saleha's family, her relatives said. | |

| #5 In the fall of 1972, I was caretaker of a mine that shut down for the season. I was cleaning out the rooms and threw old greasy coveralls into the burning barrel. Suddenly there was a series of booms coming out of the burn barrel and I hit the deck. Turned out that a bunch of blasting caps were left in the pockets. |

| #3 Why would they use grenades in a college firing zone? Shouldn't they focussed on quail hunting rifles and elephant guns instead? |
