(CNN) -- Bangladesh police have arrested a person believed to be responsible for an explosion -- the third this week in the country -- that killed at least one person and injured 10 others, authorities say.

Thursday's blast occurred around 10 a.m. local time at a police checkpoint in Gazipur, near a group of attorneys protesting a suicide bombing in Gazipur earlier this week.

Several police and attorneys were among those wounded in Thursday's attack, police said.

Tuesday's suicide bombing at Gazipur's court library and another in the port city of Chittagong, killed at least 13 people and wounded scores more, police said.

Police believe the Gazipur bombings are linked to the banned Islamic militant group Jamaatul Mujahedin Bangladesh.
