Several bombs explode in front of Natore BNP office

Several crude bombs went off in front of Natore district unit office of Bangladesh Nationalist Party at Alaipur on Saturday ahead of a rally called as part of the opposition party’s nationwide programme.

Police said that they recovered two live crude bombs from the spot. No one was injured.

BNP has called a countrywide rally on Saturday to press home their 10-point demand, including holding the next polls under a non-party neutral government and to protest against the arrest and harassment of party leaders and activists in ‘false cases’.

The explosions took place around 8:30am when the party leaders and activists were preparing to bring out a procession.

On information, police rushed to the spot and recovered two unexploded crude bombs, said officer-in-charge of Natore Police Station Nasim Ahmed.
