Six people - two police officers and four civilians - have been killed in twin bombings in north-eastern Bangladesh, officials say. The explosions in the northeastern district of Sylhet came a day after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a security checkpoint near the country’s main airport in an attack claimed by Islamic State.
