Dhaka: Unidentified
attackers Sunday hurled two bombs at the Bangladesh Secretariat in
Dhaka, one in front of the home ministry, but no one was injured
in the incident, officials said.
The explosions took place during a strike called by the opposition
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-led 18-party alliance to
protest the disappearance of party leader Ilias Ali, the Daily
Star reported.
Home Minister Shamsul Haque Tuku called an urgent meeting after
the blasts, and said a combing operation would be carried out
across the country to prevent recurrence of such incidents.
"The bombs went off simultaneously around 4.15 p.m., causing panic
among the officials and pedestrians there," said Mahfuzul Haque,
public relations officer at the ministry.
Bomb experts were called to examine the kind of explosives used.
