US Issues Travel Warning for Bangladesh After Dhaka Terror Attack

Just six days later, a woman and two policemen were killed and 13 were wounded in a bomb explosion and gun-battle near the venue of a mass prayer on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr at Sholakia in Kishoreganj district of the neighbouring country.

“We won’t allow any sort of emergence of militancy in the country, we don’t want Bangladesh to be the land of militancy…we’ll have to take some measurers keeping this view in mid”, she asserted.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called on every school, college and university to “create a list of absent students and publish it”.

It is believed that these militants may be connected to the terror attack in Dhaka in which 22 people were killed.

Biswal tweeted that she discussed “specifics” on how the USA proposes to support Bangladeshi law enforcing agencies in response to terrorism.

Biswal arrived in Dhaka yesterday on a two-day visit to Bangladesh. “We share the grief of our Bangladeshi partners”, said Assistant Secretary Biswal. Haque said the same group was responsible for both attacks.

Safi, the son of a former high-level bureaucrat, was identified by his friends after he appeared in an IS video, lauding the cafe siege and threatening more attacks.

More than 100 city-bred boys in Dhaka and much greater numbers of rural youth have been reported missing by their parents in Bangladesh, the country’s information and broadcasting minister, Hasanul Haq Inu, told this newspaper on Saturday. Two police officers, a woman and suspected militant were killed during the attack. His family has alleged that he was tortured in police custody.

At the same time, the report said that a terror attack by them can not be ruled out.

On Friday afternoon, blood-soaked young man Shawon who was detained from outside the Holey Artisan Bakery during the hostage standoff died at a city hospital.

Police say they have identified medical representatives of pharmaceutical firms, Islamic teachers and traders who have recruited followers through social networking sites and blogs, as well as face-to-face contact.
