Dhaka, March 18 (IANS) A suspected militant was shot dead in Dhaka on Saturday after Bangladesh police foiled an attack on a security check-post.
A Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) official told Xinhua news agency that the suspected militant riding a motorcycle tried to enter the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), an anti-crime, anti-terrorism unit of the Bangladesh Police, check post in Khilgaon area with explosives around 4.35 a.m.
"He was shot dead on the spot," he said.
The man carried explosives in his bag, said the official, adding "we've called a bomb disposal unit".
