Bomb hurled at Khulna police outpost

The fourteen policemen staying at the Shiromoni police outpost at that time escaped injury. Police sources said the bomb struck the sunshade of a ground-floor window.

The sentry on duty at the gate was alleged to have dozed off when the bomber took the advantage of darkness during a power cut. Bewildered policemen fired some shots in the air and cordoning the area off but failed to arrest anyone.

It may be mentioned that three hours before this incident a bomb was hurled at an Awami League (AL) leader in front of the AL party office at Phulbari Ghat in the city under the same police station.
