New Delhi: India will send bomb experts of the National Security Group (NSG) to Bangladesh to help with investigations into two terror attacks in the country in a week.
The team will "analyse and study" the bombings at an Eid prayer gathering in Kishoreganj today and the terror siege at a Dhaka cafe last Friday, say officials.
This morning, a group of attackers hurled homemade bombs at a police team and attacked them with machetes, triggering a gun-battle near a mass gathering for Eid prayers at Kishoreganj, 140 km from Dhaka.
The attack comes days after seven terrorists hacked to death 20 people at a Dhaka cafe.
Bangladesh has asked India to examine the speeches of controversial Mumbai-based preacher Zakir Naik after reports that two of the Dhaka attackers were inspired by him.
"The home ministry will look into it and take a call," Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu said today.
One of the Dhaka attackers, suspected to be Rohan Imtiaz - the son of a politician of Bangladesh's ruling Awami League - ran a propaganda on Facebook last year quoting 50-year-old Naik, a doctor and an Islamic televangelist, Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' reported.
"There are certain complaints from the Maulanas of Bangladesh that his (Naik) teachings are not in line with the Quranic teachings and Hadith," information minister Hasanul Haq Inu said on Wednesday.
