Terrorists in Bangladesh hurled homemade bombs and fought a gun battle with police guarding a large Eid prayer gathering on Thursday morning. It is a political attack to oust and topple the secular government of Sheikh Hasina,” Inu said. On Wednesday, Isis released a video warning of more attacks in Bangladesh, according to the Site Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi activity online. Instead, Hasina’s government has accused her political opponents of backing the militant agenda in Bangladesh, an allegation the opposition parties vehemently deny. Two officers, a woman and one suspected militant were killed, while at least 12 others were injured, officials said.
