| A series of blasts targeting Shia Muslims in Dhaka killed at least one person and wounded dozens more early on Saturday as they gathered for a procession in the old part of the Bangladesh capital to mark the holy day of Ashura, police said. Police cordoned off the area and were investigating the blasts, which they said were caused by improvised explosive devices.
