A series of blasts targeting Shiite Muslims in Dhaka killed at least one person and wounded dozens more early on Saturday as they gathered for a procession in the old part of the Bangladesh capital to mark the holy day of Ashura, police said.
Police say the incident took place early Saturday at Huseni Dalan mosque where thousands had gathered in the old part of Dhaka.
Police cordoned off the area and were investigating the blasts, which they said were caused by improvised explosive devices. They said it was unclear who carried out the attack.
Local police chief Aziz Ahmed said a 12-year-old boy died while the injured were being treated.
Witnesses said that people ran frantically after blasts, losing their flip-flops and sandals as they scattered.
