US monitoring organisation SITE Intelligence Group on Thursday claimed the Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility of attacking a police checkpoint in Bangladesh capital.
It was the fourth claim of IS attack in Bangladesh reported by the organisation and the Bangladesh government questioned those reports denying existence of IS in the country. The SITE later accused Bangladesh government of smear campaign against the organization and its director Rita Katz.
Assailants hacked to death a policeman and injured another in a ‘premeditated’ attack minutes before the law enforcers were setting a makeshift check post on Nabinagar-Chandra highway in Ashulia on the outskirts of Dhaka Wednesday morning. Industrial
Constable Mukul Hossain of Bogra was declared dead when he was brought to privately-owned Enam Medical College Hospital in Savar while constable Nur-e-Alam Siddiquei was given treatment for his injuries.
This is a second attack on a police check post in two weeks. Assistant subinspector Ibrahim Molla was killed in similar attack near Technical intersection in the capital on October 22.
