Blasts in front of Dhaka College halt traffic, stores closed

At least a dozen cocktail bombs have been detonated in front of Dhaka College, bringing traffic on either side of the road to a halt.

The explosions came late on Wednesday afternoon as stores began to reopen after a relatively peaceful morning in the New Market area, reports bdnews24.com. 

Scared pedestrians fled the area, fearing a resurgence of clashes.

Gias Uddin, a police inspector on duty in the area, said: “We heard several explosions and a frightened crowd gathered. We are removing them to prevent further violence.”

Traffic has been halted and the situation is being monitored, he said.
