Once again, Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has learned that the ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility for another murderous attack, and once again, they have attacked another Islamic mosque, this time in in Bogra, Bangladesh. Terrorist gunmen came into a Shiite mosque during evening prayers on Thursday November 26, 2015, and shot at the 20 Muslim worshippers, killing 1 and wounding 3. The Bogra mosque is about 125 miles northwest of Dhaka, in Bangladesh. In the ISIS attack on the Muslim mosque in Bogra, reports state the ISIS terrorists killed the muezzin and injured the imam.
CNN reported on November 27, 2015: “ISIS — a Sunni extremist group that’s taken over vast swaths of Syria and Iraq and has been tied to terror attacks across Asia, Africa and Europe — claimed credit for the attack in a statement distributed online by supporters.”

ISIS previously claimed responsibility for an October 24, 2015 terrorist attack on a gathering of Shiite Muslims in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which killed a 14 year old boy and wounded more than 50 other people. Five bombs were reportedly thrown at the Muslim procession, which police described as “explosive devices and almost like grenades and fitted with batteries.”

Let us make sure that the world knows – THIS is how ISIS treats Muslims – both Shiite and Sunni. The children, women, elderly, poor, the helpless – this is the “revolution” that they would bring… of misery, death, and destruction to Muslim people.
Another recent attack was the shooting of an Italian priest in Dinajpur on November 18, 2015.

The ISIS terrorist group has boasted of previous attacks in Bangladesh before. This included the September 2015 shooting of Italian national Cesare Tavella (an aid worker fighting to stop hunger).
At the beginning of October 2015, R.E.A.L. reported on this such attacks including a growing number of attacks on Christians, including our reference: “While the ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the murder of Cesare Tavella and the murder of Kunio Hoshi, the Bangladesh government states this was the responsibility of a ‘Bangladesh internal opposition’ group. The Japan Times reports that Bangladeshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said: ‘Oh, it’s absolutely rubbish, there is no IS in the country, no way. Why would IS do this here? These are incidents for creating instability in the country.’ “
