Five dead in two suicide bomb attacks in Bangladesh: police.
CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (AFP) - Five people died, including two suicide bombers, and 16 others were wounded in two attacks targeting Bangladesh’s judicial system, police said, following a wave of violence linked to Islamic extremists.
“We’re stepping up security around the country and seeking details (about those responsible for the blasts),” national police chief Abdul Kaiyum said on Tuesday.
Previous blasts have been linked to the hardline Islamist group Jamayetul Mujahideen, which wants to impose strict Islamic law in the Muslim-majority country of 140 million people.
