Two militants have been killed in Bangladesh in blast while allegedly making bombs for their terror outfit.
"The incident took place last night. The doctors declared one of the two dead immediately as they were rushed to the hospital while the other succumbed to his wounds later," police official said.
They were not known to the neighbourhood at a village in northwestern Bogra and were residing in the house rented by an autorickshaw driver, who was not inside during the blast.
"We suspect they are members of any militant outfit and the blast took place as they were preparing bombs for their outfit. Investigations have been launched to track down the autorickshaw driver," official said.
According to local reports, police's bomb disposal unit this morning seized at least twenty grenades, four pistols with 20 bullets from the building at the village.
