Diplomats have asked the government to provide security for all foreign nationals in Bangladesh in the wake of murder of two foreigners. The call came on Tuesday after the government briefed them on security measures for the foreigners. British High Commissioner Robert Gibson, also the diplomatic core dean, said they talked about ‘tightening’ security for foreigners. He added that they were thankful for the steps Bangladesh had taken. Two foreigners, Italian aid worker Cesare Tavella and Japanese Kunio Hoshi, were gunned down in Dhaka and Rangpur on Sept 28 and Oct 3 in similar fashion. Before the briefing, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told bdnews24.com that the government had taken ‘special’ measures for the security of the foreigners living in Bangladesh. –bdnews24.com
