At least nine suspected militants in Dhaka were killed early Tuesday in a police operation, dpa cited an official as saying. One suspected militant was arrested and two others were injured and admitted to hospital, said Sheikh Maruf Hasan, a commissioner in the Dhaka police department. The raid occurred in the Kallyanpur neighbourhood in the Bangladeshi capital around 1 am local time (19:00 Monday GMT) following a tip-off that suspected militants were in the area, Hasan said. Security forces and police cordoned off a five-storey building where they launched their operation, he said.
