DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A local news agency says a crude bomb has killed at least one person during clashes between police and opposition activists in Bangladesh's capital.
United News of Bangladesh reported that at least five vehicles were set on fire in central Dhaka during Sunday's violence.
The violence erupted after baton-wielding police dispersed thousands of opposition activists trying to rally to mark the country's 40th independence anniversary.
It was unclear why police prevented the rally. Officials were not immediately available for comments.
The agency said one man died after a homemade bomb — explosives in tin pot — exploded during the clashes in Motijheel commercial district.
Television footage showed police chasing dozens of stone-throwing protesters.
