The bomb was detonated at the residence of Afaz Uddin, an Awami League member of Parliament, near Khustia, 300 km (190 miles) west of the capital Dhaka.

Police would not say whether they thought the attack was related to Saturday's widespread violence over the eviction from her home of opposition leader Begum Khaleda Zia.
