Staff Reporter :
India will send within a week National Security Group (NSG) bomb experts to Bangladesh to help investigate the two terror attacks in the country, says Indian media.
The team will ‘analyse and study’ the bombings at an Eid prayer gathering in Kishoreganj on Thursday and the terror siege at a Dhaka cafe last Friday, NDTV reports quoting officials.
 A group of attackers hurled homemade bombs at a police team and
attacked them with machetes, triggering an exchange of fire near a mass gathering for Eid prayers in Kishoreganj on Thursday morning. Two policemen and a housewife died in the attack. A suspected attacker was also killed and another was captured with bullet wounds. The attack comes days after terrorists shot and hacked to death 20 people, mostly foreigners, at a Dhaka cafe.
 Two policemen, who tried to enter the cafe in the initial hours of the siege, died from bombs hurled by the attackers.
 After the cafe attack, a highly-placed source in the government said Bangladesh was taking the help of a friendly country in the investigation into the carnage.
 Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has also said the country was taking the help of a friendly neighbouring country to control militancy.
