The incident comes after last week's deadly attacks in Dhaka which killed over 20 people mainly foreigners including an Indian girl.

At least two policemen were killed and 12 others injured after some men hurled petrol bombs at a huge Eid gathering in Bangladesh's in Kishoreganj district today. According to latest reports, security forces have killed one the attackers in gunbattle. Security forces have nabbed one of the attackers alive while an operation to neutralise others, who have taken refuse inside a school building, is underway.

The attack on the police position was close to an area where some 200,000 people had gathered for a prayer service in Kishoreganj town, about 140 km (90 miles) northeast of the capital, Dhaka, said district administrator Zillur Rahman.

"We are still checking for other miscreants but after this incident prayers were held peacefully and we have asked everyone to go home," Rahman said.



Roads along that attack site have been cordoned off and more reinforcements have been rushed in. "There is panic here," said an officer at the police control room in Kishoregonj town.

The attackers were said to have been carrying sharp weapons, local media reported. But how many took part in the attack is still unclear.

Witnesses said police fired at the attackers before being joined by troopers of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), bdnews24 reported.

The incident comes after last week's deadly attacks at an upscale eatery in Dhaka in which killed over 20 people , mainly foreigners including an Indian girl was killed. ISIS had claimed responsibility for the attack, however, the Bangladesh government had claimed that the terrorists belonged to a home grown group, which may have received help from Pakistan's ISI.

IS HAD WARNED OF MORE ATTACKS



The Islamic State (IS) had on Wednesday issued a new chilling video warning the Bangladesh government of more attacks in the country and across the world until Shariah law is established globally, saying last week's gruesome attack on a cafe in Dhaka was just "a glimpse".

The video message believed to be issued from Raqqa, the stronghold of the terror group in strife-torn Syria in Bangla language was first found in an IS-affiliate website and then released on YouTube early on Wednesday.

Foreign security experts say the scale and sophistication of the last week's attack pointed to some level of guidance from international militant groups.

But the police believe Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an outlawed domestic group that has pledged allegiance to Islamic State, was to blame.
