"We are all horrified by the terror attacks. There is a sense of insecurity... All Bangladeshis are safe as far as our information goes," he said.

Assailants drove a van into pedestrians at high speed on London Bridge on Saturday night before stabbing others on nearby streets, killing at least seven people and wounding dozens in what police suspect was a terrorist attack.
