According to the report, there were three significant terrorist incidents in Bangladesh in 2021 and these were prevented by the country's law and order forces. In one such incident, US-trained officers defused a bomb with a US remote-controlled robot.

According to the report, two incidents took place in Narayanganj on May 17 and July 11, 2021. Besides, on September 16, a person named Delwar Hossain threw a bomb at a car in Gulshan diplomatic area.
