IS claims attack

The Islamic State group on Saturday claimed responsibility for an attack at a place of worship of the minority Ahmadi community in Bangladesh, in which the suspected bomber died and at least three others were injured. US-based monitoring organisation SITE reported that the IS group, which has claimed responsibility for a number of recent attacks in Bangladesh, said it had targeted worshippers during Friday prayers. According to the statement "dozens" of worshippers were injured or killed at the mosque in the northwestern town of Bagmara, but police said on Friday only three had been injured.
