| [NATION.PK] DHAKA: At least six people were maimed, with three in a critical condition, after a series of kabooms on Saturday at a Hindu religious gathering in northern Bangladesh, a police official said. The attack follows the shooting and wounding of an Italian doctor working in the same region last month, and the earlier murders of an Italian and a Japanese citizen in separate attacks claimed by 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... The latest incident occurred in Dinajpur district, 415 km (260 miles) north of the capital Dhaka when a series of bombs went kaboom!as hundreds of devotees attended a religious ceremony known as "Rushmela", Abdul Mazid, the officer in-charge of Kahalur cop shoppe, told Rooters. The attack came after recent threats to the temple's priest, urging him not to organize any religious gatherings, Mazid said. Five people were tossed into the calaboose for interrogation, he said. Bomb attacks on Hindu religious gatherings are rare in Muslim-majority Bangladesh. The country has suffered a rising tide of Islamist violence over the past year. Four online critics of religious militancy have been hacked to death, among them a U.S. citizen of Bangladesh origin. |
