Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal claimed that the law enforcement agencies had not found any link of international myrmidon group Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling

(IS) with the murder of Cesare Tavella, the Italian.
Addressing a presser in his office, the minister also claimed that there was no existence of IS in Bangladesh. He hoped that the killers would be traced soon.
Although IS has no organizational base in Bangladesh, the law enforcement agencies recently tossed in the calaboose

a number of alleged IS recruiters, trainers and members of local banned myrmidon groups and newly formed hard boy outfits who are willing to join the outfit based in Syria and Iraq.
Tavella, 51, was rubbed out by three person or persons unknown who came on a cycle of violence near road number 90 of Gulshan 2 around 6:15pm on Monday. The killers expeditiously departed at a goodly pace towards road 83 after one of them shot Tavella thrice.
He was taken to United Hospital by a car driver, Mohammad Bilal, only to be declared dead by the duty doctors around 7pm.
Tavella had been working as the project manager of PROOFS (Profitable Opportunities for Food Security) at the Netherlands-based development organization ICCO Cooperation since May.
ICCO Country Representative Hellen Vander Beek filed a case with Gulshan cop shoppe around 10:30pm on Monday. The case was handed over to the Detective Branch (DB) yesterday afternoon.
The murder created much hype in the country as well as hit the headlines in international media apparently due to security alerts issued by the US and the UK for their citizens in Bangladesh, suspecting myrmidon attack on western interests in late September.
