Bomb hurled at ex-minister's car in city
Staff Correspondent
An unknown attacker hurled a handmade bomb at the car of Awami League legislator Talukder Abdul Khaleque at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital last night, causing damage to his car. The lawmaker for Bagerhat-3 constituency went to the hospital to see Jami, the ailing son of slain AL leader Monzurul Imam at 8:15pm. While Khaleque, also Khulna city AL president and former state minister, was visiting Jami, the bomb exploded, breaking the front left door glass. The attack coincided with the killing of vice-president of Jamaat-e-Islami's Rampal unit Moulana Gazi Abu Bakar Siddiqui in Bagerhat in a drive-by attack earlier on the day. Confirming the attack on Khaleque's vehicle, Ramna police said nobody was injured in the attack. Police could not give the motive for the attack immediately.
