Police file a case over the “suicide blast” at Ashkona accusing eight persons, which will be handed over to Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) for probe.

The youth who was identified yesterday as a suspect of the Ashkona “suicide blast” and died later was allegedly picked up by law enforcers “a month ago”, family claims.

Rapid Action Battalion has filed a case accusing seven to eight unknown persons in connection with the yesterday’s suspected suicide attack at a barrack of the elite force in Dhaka’s Ashkona area yesterday.

A suspected suicide bomber sneaked into a Rab barrack and blew himself up in the capital's Ashkona yesterday, in what appears to be the country's first such attack by a terror suspect inside a law enforcement agency's compound. Terror group Islamic State claimed credit for the attack, reports BBC Bangla.

Law enforcers defuse an unexploded bomb that was found beside the body of the “bomber” who is believed to have carried out a suicide blast in proposed headquarter of Rab in Dhaka.

Suspected bomber dies in what is believed to be a suicide blast at Ashkona camp of Rapid Action Battalion during Jumma prayers. Police has confirmed the incident. The details are still sketchy.
