A man carrying explosives was fired on and killed when he tried to cross a checkpoint run by an elite anti-crime force in Bangladesh's capital on Saturday, officials said.
In a text message to media, the Rapid Action Battalion said the security officers opened fire as the man tried to penetrate the checkpoint with "a motorbike and explosives" in Dhaka's Khilgaon area.
The agency's operational official ASM Sakhawat Hossain told reporters that officers found the explosives in a bag the man was carrying.
