Topic: Isis claims responsibility for death of Italian man in Bangladesh (Read 615 times)

A Japanese citizen has been shot dead by alleged Islamic State sympathizers in Northern Bangladesh. The Islamic State militants in Bangladesh have claimed the responsibility for the murder of Kunio Hoshi, who was working in a local farming project. I believe that time has come for the Bangladeshi government to woke up from its deep slumber.

As the ISIS gains popularity in the Muslim world, the smaller Islamist groups will start merging in to it. This has already happened with Boko Haram in Nigeria and Al Shabab in Somalia. The next will be the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Philippines, Indian Mujahideen and Hizbul Mujahideen in India, Jamaat-e-Islami and Hefazat-e-Islam in Bangladesh and Islamic Movement of Central Asia in Uzbekistan.

Islamic extremists in Bangladesh already strike with impunity. They have launched targeted campaigns against atheist bloggers.
So it could easily be an extremist striking and claiming the kill in the name of ISIS.

So far, the ISIS has shown little interest in the South Asia / South East Asia region. They haven't created any Wilayats (Provinces) in this region, unlike the case with Libya, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. The ISIS guys are requesting their followers in the region to migrate to the already established provinces, so that they could take part in the "Jihad".

Let'd send ISIS back to the Medieval times they belong in!! Who's the one who built a time machine that brought those low-lifes into our modern times

What keeps them from joining? All they have to do is terrorize in the name of?

ISIS is a bunch of p*ssies, I'd love to see them have the balls to attack a city or state that can defend itself and see what happens. Not that I would EVER want any city or people to be attacked, I wouldn't. I just hope these idiots who disgrace Islam realize how much the world is accommodating their existence for the sake of not wanting to offend the Islam religion because any attack against the could be seen by some as an attack against Islam.

Seems like now you just dont know who exactly is ISIS.  When claims are made it may not be the group it self but others that are for them or pretending to be them.   I have to agree with you.  It is possible and I know there are followers who are just that  followers.

ISIS has gained a cult-like following in many of the Southern and South-eastern Asian countries, with their beheading videos and stories about sex-slavery. There are large number of men (and women) in countries such as Bangladesh, Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Myanmar, who would join the Islamic State if they get a chance to do so.

It could just be somebody posing as Isis making that claim. These news articles are just going too ISIS crazy

Extremist group says it killed Cesare Tavella, who was shot in Dhaka. If claim is confirmed it would be Isis’s first attack in Bangladesh


Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the fatal shooting of an Italian citizen on a street in the diplomatic quarter of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, according to an intelligence group monitoring jihadi threats.

The claim by the extremist group, which controls swaths of Iraq and Syria and is intent on expanding its influence across the Muslim world, could not immediately be verified independently. If it was confirmed, it would mark the group’s first attack in the secular south Asian nation.

Bangladesh has been struggling in recent months with the rapid rise of hardline Islamist groups, banning several blamed in the killing of four bloggers this year.

The British and US governments have warned their nationals to be aware of the security threat in Bangladesh following the most recent shooting.

Police in Dhaka said they had no leads in tracing the three unidentified assailants, who, riding on a single motorcycle, drove up alongside Italian citizen Cesare Tavella and shot him on Monday night.

“We have no idea, we can’t say anything definitively for now,” police official Mukhlesur Rahman said, declining to comment on Isis’s claim of responsibility.

There have been worrying signs in recent weeks that extremist groups based in Bangladesh are developing a more international perspective. This month, a hit list of international bloggers believed to have been compiled by the Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), a local group of militants that has claimed responsibility for several murders of secular campaigners and writers in Bangladesh, was circulated on the internet.
