Bomb blast at Sylhet house kills two

STAFF CORRESPONDENT, Sylhet
Two people including an 11-year-old boy were killed in a bomb blast at a house in the city suburb of Pirerbazar Kachuabahor on the Sylhet-Tamabil Road yesterday morning.
Seven others -- four children and three women -- also suffered serious injuries and were admitted to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital where five were operated upon, hospital sources said.
The explosion occurred at around 8:55am, said Shamsul Haque, a neighbour of the house within 30 yards of the Sylhet-Tamabil Road and 10km off Sylhet city.
The dead are Anwar Hossain, a 35-year-old day worker, and his nephew Jalil alias Mona, 11. Mona
was a student of Class V of Turiananda Primary School.
Police suspect that the bomb went off because of careless handling while being taken out of the house by Anwar.
Divisional Inspector General of Police, Sylhet Range, AKM Mahfuzul Haque told The Daily Star that evidence shows the dead man was the carrier. He was also a keeper of bombs for somebody else.

Soon after the blast, police, Rab, BDR, NSI, army, DGFI and detective personnel visited the place. Sylhet Mayor Badar Uddin Ahmed Kamran also went there.
An hour after the blast, the badly mutilated bodies were found lying on the narrow verandah of the house. Some of their body parts were found yards away.
The explosion left a two feet deep crater on the verandah of the dilapidated house. The walls and ceiling bore several splinter marks.
Five families have been living in the low-cost house for years, said Enamur Rahman, a homeopath, who sold the house just 3 weeks ago. They are low-income people like truck drivers, housemaids, day labourers and rickshaw-pullers. The house is only 30 yards from the barbed wire fence of Jalalabad Cantonment.
The police arrested five people linking them to the blast: Enamur, Saleh, a tenant of the house, Kulsum, Fatema and Jyotsna. The three women were all seriously injured and under treatment at MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital.
Sylhet Superintendent of Police Mostafa Kamal said the three women would be interrogated on recovery.
