Bomb at N’ganj police box: Militant group possibly behind incident, says SP
Police say they suspect that a
militant group planted the bomb near Signboard traffic police box in Narayanganj
to target police or to show their existence by exploding the bomb.
"We are yet to be sure who
planted the bomb there and why. We do suspect that there may be miscreants or a
militant group behind it," Zayedul Alam, superintendent of police in
Narayanganj, said.
The SP's comments came this
afternoon, hours after sub-inspector Faisal Alam of Siddhirganj Police Station
filed a case in this regard.
Anti-terrorism unit of Police
has been given charge of the case.
Since the bomb was placed inside
two concrete walls, it could not cause much destruction during explosion, the
SP said.
The incident is possibly
connected with the bombs recovered in different places of Dhaka before, he said
in reply to a query.
