The Egypt embassy to Dhaka will remain closed for 11 days following a “threat” issued to the embassy in the name of Muslim Brotherhood, a political front that backs Egypt’s ousted president Mohammed Morsi.
Meanwhile, security around the Egyptian embassy to Dhaka has been beefed up following the threat.
Wing Commander ATM Habibur Rahman, director to the legal and media wing of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab), told the Dhaka Tribune that they were informed over phone about the threat.
“We have tightened security around the embassy following 6pm today [Monday],” the Rab official said.
He however, did not disclose how the threat was issued.
“We can’t disclose the detail right now,” Habibur stated.
