At least one person was killed and about 60 others were injured in homemade bomb explosions in front of Huseni Dalan in old Dhaka early hours today.
The blasts happened around 1:30am when members of Shia community were gathering at the building, about half an hour before the traditional Tajia procession was to be brought out from there to mark the holy Ashura.
The day marks the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), and the Shia community has been observing the day for centuries.
But it is the first time that they have come under such an attack, though it was not clear who carried out the attack or why.
