4 injured as serial blasts rock Western Bangladesh

By IRNA

New Delhi : Three bombs exploded within 30 minutes in Bangladesh’s western Jessore area injuring four people and prompting authorities to intensify security in the frontier town.

The three blasts took place last night at the main terminal near the main police station and the government circuit house, leaving four people seriously injured, Indian national TV news portal reported here quoting police Chief Iqbal Bahar and eye witnesses.

“It appears to be a planned incident and we have launched investigations to find the culprits apart from tightening security vigil.”
No one claimed responsibility and police declined to comment if they suspected militants, who earlier staged similar blasts in different parts of Bangladesh.

The incident came days after the emergency-ruled Bangladesh witnessed massive student unrest in major university and college campuses across the country after erupting from a quarrel between some army soldiers and students over a petty dispute at the Dhaka University last week.
