Bomb kills 4 of family (Bangladesh)
Sunday, 14 January, 2007
DHAKA: A woman and her three daughters were killed when a crude bomb exploded in a slum in western Bangladesh yesterday, police said. The victims were garbage pickers, who brought home the device thinking it to be a food can, said a police officer in Chapainawabganj town, 330km (206 miles) west of Dhaka. “They did not realise it was a bomb and it exploded while they were trying to open it,” he said.
Another bomb went off later in the area but nobody was hurt. The police recovered two more live bombs and a search has been ordered through the slum. The police said they did not know if the bombs had been left behind in the garbage dumps by criminals or Islamist militants who had carried out a wave of bombings in 2005. “We are investigating,” the police officer said, without giving details.
Islamist militants seeking Shariah law in mainly Muslim Bangladesh killed at least 30 people and wounded 150 in a spate of countrywide bomb blasts in the second half of 2005. But their campaign suffered a blow after top leaders were arrested early last year.
