ISIS Claims Responsibility for Attack in Bangladesh

During a Muslim holiday this past Saturday, three bombs exploded in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The outcome of this explosion was 104 people wounded and a 16 year old boy in critical condition. This was also the third violent incident ISIS has claimed over the past couple months, the other two being shooting of two foreigners. A local Islamist group called, the Ansarullah Bangla Team, has also recently threatened to attack media providers if they continue to have unveiled women as news reporters or anchors. Bangladesh's food minster stated that these attacks are from outside sources since Sunnis and Shiites have a brotherly relationship in Bangladesh.
