IS group claims attack on Italian priest in Bangladesh
2015-11-20
[AlAhram] The 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has grabbed credit for shooting and wounding an Italian priest in Bangladesh this week, according to a notice released Thursday by the SITE Intelligence Group.

"Security detachments of soldiers of the Caliphate in Bangladesh carried out some unique operations (including)... Targeting the Italian Crusader foreigner Piero Parolari," the jihadist monitoring organization SITE quoted IS as saying.

Parolari, who worked as a priest and a doctor at Suihari Catholic Mission in the northern city of Dinajpur, was shot by three gunnies on a cycle of violence on Wednesday.

It follows the murders in recent weeks of an Italian faith-based aid worker and a Japanese farmer, in attacks also claimed by IS group.

"Unless we can find out who has actually executed the operations, we can't say who or which group was behind the attack," Dinajpur police chief Ruhul Amin told AFP.

The attack bore "some similarities with the previous attacks on foreigners," he added.

All three of the recent attacks on foreigners involved gunnies riding on cycle of violences.

Bangladesh authorities have previously said there is no evidence that Islamic State turbans are active in the country.

#1  Father Piero Parolari,
Rather careless on safari,
Ruined his tour of the Dar
By thoughtlessly leaving his car.
