Bomb blast: 12 killed in Sylhet in 7 years

IQBAL SIDDIQUEE, Sylhet
Ten incidents of bomb blast took place in Sylhet region in the last seven years since 1997, leaving 12 people killed and scores of others seriously injured.
Cases were filed in each of the incidents and the Criminal Investigation Department or the Detective Branch of police investigated the incidents.
But the probes made little headway in most of the cases. People involved in making and exploding the bombs and the networks or gangs linked to the incidents are still to be detected.
In 1997, two explosions took place in Sagardighirpar and Amabarkhana areas of Sylhet city. Bangladesh Chhatra League leader Ali Ahmed died in the blast at Sagardighirpar while the Ambarkhana blast left no-one
killed or injured but damaged several houses.
On March 15, 1999, three persons were killed in an explosion while bombs were being made in the house of the then ruling Awami League (AL) lawmaker Muhibur Rahman Manik at Chhatak upazila headquarters in Sunamganj.
The lawmaker, his elder brother, a cousin, a Jubo League leader and ward commissioner and some others were arrested and charges were pressed against them.
The case was transferred to the Speedy Trial Tribunal, Sylhet, but the trial is yet to begin due to repeated stay orders from the High Court.
On September 26, 2001, during the caretaker administration, a blast left four persons killed at Shulla upazila headquarters in Sunamganj when the then AL
legislator Suranjeet Sengupta was addressing a public meeting there.
Another blast occurred at a house in the city's Fazilchist area the same day. Two persons engaged in making bombs were killed in the blast at about 8:00pm when a big public meeting was going on at the nearby Alia Madrassah Maidan. AL President Sheikh Hasina was the chief guest at the meeting.
A few days later, an explosion at a commercial firm in the city's Mirzajangal area injured several people and left three firms afire.
In another blast on the outskirts of the city in July 2003, a twostoried building was damaged at Khadimnagar.
A number of bombs and other explosives were recovered over these years from different areas of Sylhet division.
