An Italian priest has been wounded by unidentified gunmen in north-west Bangladesh.
Police say the man, identified as Piero Parolari, works as a doctor in a hospital run by Christian missionaries.
He was attacked while cycling to the hospital after morning prayers in Dinajpur district, reports say. His condition is reported to be stable.

No group has said it carried out the attack, the third on foreigners in Bangladesh in under two months.
An Italian aid worker was killed in September and a Japanese citizen in October.
Both attacks were claimed by the Islamic State group but the government blamed the killings on local militants.
Mr Parolari is a 78-year-old doctor and has lived and worked in Bangladesh for 25 years, reports the bdnews24.com news website.
Attacks on foreigners in Bangladesh are rare, but Islamist violence has surged recently. Extremists have carried out a series of high-profile attacks on secular writers, hacking to death four bloggers - one a US citizen - so far this year.
