Two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were recovered in Dhaka city’s Paltan and Khamar Bari areas on July 24, reports The Daily Star. Police said the bombs were powerful enough to kill people and destroy properties in the surrounding areas. The bombs were similar to each other. Seven cans of butane gas were attached to each of the devices to amplify the explosion and fire. The bombs could have killed people within 10 to 15 meters. “The use of gas in IEDs had not been seen in Bangladesh before,” said an official preferring anonymity.
