Saudi diplomat shot dead in Bangladesh

“We are investigating the incident and trying to get details including motive of the killing and identity of the killer,” police officer Kamrul Hasan said.
The two countries have close ties, with a large number of people from Bangladesh employed in the oil-rich kingdom. In recent years, the embassy has tightened visa rules to stop the influx of people with forged documents.
Last October there were fresh strains after Saudi authorities executed eight Bangladeshi workers in public for their alleged involvement in an armed robbery in which an Egyptian security guard was killed.
