Another 250kg bomb buried at the construction site of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport's (HSIA) 3rd terminal was found yesterday.
Group Captain AHM Touhid-ul Ahsan, director of HSIA, confirmed this in a WhatsApp message. The message said a Bangladesh Air Force team recovered the General Purpose (GP) bomb from the third terminal construction site.
The bomb disposal unit of Air Force's Bangabandhu Base soon rushed to the spot and defused the bomb, the message added.
