Hindu priest in Bangladesh hacked to death, ISIS claims murder
2016-06-08
More on this from yesterday.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Suspected bully boyz in Bangladesh hacked an elderly Hindu priest to death on Tuesday, in what police suspected was the latest in a spate of attacks by Islamists on minority groups in the majority-Moslem country.

Three cycle of violence-borne attackers slit the throat of Ananta Gopal Ganguly, 70, while he was enroute to the temple he served in the district of Jhenaidah, about 100 miles (161 km) west of Dhaka, the capital, police said.

"They almost beheaded him before they expeditiously departed at a goodly pace," said police official Hasan Hafizur Rahman.

The attack bore the hallmarks of previous killings by Islamist bully boys. The government banned more than one person riding pillion on a cycle of violence on Monday a day after the wife of a prominent anti-terror security official was rubbed out by three suspected bully boyz on a cycle of violence.

ISIS grabbed credit for killing Ganguly, the US-based monitoring service SITE said, quoting the bully boy group’s Amaq news agency.

Rahman dismissed the group’s claim as "baseless", saying it had no organizational base in Bangladesh and domestic bully boyz were responsible.

A 60-year-old Christian grocer was also hacked to death after Sunday prayers in an attack claimed by ISIS.

Bangladesh has not seen the sort of Islamist violence that has rocked Moslem Pakistain, or even the number of attacks that India has seen over the past decade or so.

Since February last year, bully boyz have killed more than 30 people in Bangladesh, including members of religious minorities, liberal bloggers and academics.

ISIS and al Qaeda have grabbed credit for most of the killings, but the government denies either group has a presence in Bangladesh.
