At least 10 people were injured when a bomb exploded in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka Wednesday, targeting a ruling party legislator related to the prime minister, police said. Fazle Noor Tapash, 35, escaped unhurt as the powerful bomb exploded when he came out of his law chamber to get into his car in the busy Motijheel Commercial Area, deputy police commissioner Khandaker Muhit Uddin said. 'At least 10 people are injured in the blast,' he told selfnews, adding that the wounded had been taken to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Hospital emergency ward nurse Abul Hossain Bhuiyan said one of those injured was in a critical condition. The bomb was hurled at Tapash's car as soon as he got in, a man hurt in the explosion told private ATN Bangla television. Two other cars were also damaged in the blast and the injured included ruling party supporters as well as passing pedestrians, the police said. Tapash is the son of a cousin of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and related to Bangladeshi founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was assassinated by army officers in 1975. The young lawmaker, also a lawyer, has been part of the legal team that is representing the state in the high profile appeal hearing of Mujib's murder trial. The appeal hearing started last month after a hiatus of about seven years. Tapash blamed Mujib's killers for the apparent attempt on his life. 'By the grace of the Almighty, I am unhurt. The same people that killed Bangabandhu (Mujib) were behind the attack. They want to kill Bangabandhu's family and destabilise the country,' he told ATN Bangla television.
