Dhaka, Mar 4: A crude cocktail bomb was hurled Monday by two motorcycle borne youths at the hotel where Indian President Pranab Mukherjee is staying. No one was injured in the “minor explosion”.
The minor explosion took place on the second day of Mukherjee's Bangladesh visit as three more people were killed in clashes between protesting Islamists and the police on day two of a strike called by the Jamaat-e-Islami.
The small cocktail bomb explosion took place outside the Hotel Pan Pacific Sonargaon where Mukherjee is staying.
