Bangladesh Police Issue Nationwide Alert Over Possible Attacks on Official Vehicles
Bangladesh police have issued a nationwide alert against possible terrorist or extremist attacks targeting law enforcement vehicles, including jeeps, trucks, and buses. The directive, issued by the Operations Control Branch without specifying the threat source, emphasizes securing official vehicles both in motion and when parked. This alert coincides with the second anniversary of the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. Recent bomb scares in Dhaka, including a defused remote-controlled device at Motijheel metro station, have heightened security concerns.
