Dhaka: At least two including a policeman have been killed, while five others were wounded on Thursday after a bomb exploded near a mass Eid prayer congregation in Bangladesh.
The tragic incident took place 100 km from capital Dhaka in Kishoreganj.
This is the second such incident within a week in Bangladesh, earlier on Friday where seven terrorists attacked a popular cafe killing 22 people.
According to local media said the explosion occurred at a school outside a prayer ground where at least 200,000 people were gathered. There were also exchanges of gunfire at the scene.
“One police constable is dead and at least five others were injured,” Mahbub, a police officer in the Kishoreganj control room was quoted in a report.
