Man injured critically by crude bomb
[Bangla Daily Star] Mokhlesur Rahman was at a wrong place at a wrong time, unfortunately.After his midday prayers, he was going to his office at Mohakhali in the capital. As soon as he came near Titumir College, a cocktail hit him and blew a part of his head away, all out of the blue. The incident happened around 2:30pm yesterday, just three days after Anwara Begum, 42, died being similarly hit by a bomb from a rally in the capital's Khilgaon. Doctors at Dhaka Medical College Hospital said Mokhlesur's condition was critical and needed intensive care unit support. The 38-year-old engineer works at a private telecom company, Star Link, his colleagues said. Witnesses said pickets blasted four cocktails in quick succession there. Iqbal Hossain, who brought Mokhlesur to the DMCH, said, "I was walking through an alley near Titumir College when I heard three blasts. As I started running away I saw a man lying on the street, groaning and thrashing about his limbs." Another victim, a youth, was recovered from the same area and was taken to Metropolitan Hospital at Mohakhali with splinter injuries in the shoulder and leg. Posted by: Fred 2013-12-02 |
