A Bangladeshi expatriate worker has been killed and two others injured in an Iranian missile attack in Bahrain. The incident occurred when debris from a missile fell on a ship in a maritime area near the capital Manama on Monday morning (local time).
Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Bahrain, Md. Rois Hasan Sarwar, confirmed the matter to the media.
He said: “Expatriate Bangladeshi Mohammad Tarek (48) was killed and two other Bangladeshis were injured in the missile attack. Mohammad Tarek is from Azimpur union of Sandwip upazila in Chattogram. The attack happened while he was on duty at a dry dock shipyard in Bahrain.”
The ambassador added that Mohammad Tarek had been working in Bahrain for nearly 27 years.
Tarek’s cousin, Mosarraf Hossain, Deputy Director of Chattogram Mother and Child Hospital, told Manabzamin: “Today, one of Tarek’s colleagues informed me over the phone about his death. Even 45 minutes before the attack, Tarek had spoken to another relative of mine. He used to talk to his family every day. His family lives in Chattogram city. Tarek is the father of one daughter.”
