The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group yesterday claimed responsibility for shooting and wounding an Italian priest in Dinajpur on Wednesday. The priest sustained a bullet injury on the lower part back of his dead. “Security detachments of soldiers of the Caliphate in Bangladesh carried out some unique operations (including)... Targeting the Italian Crusader foreigner Piero Parolari,” the extremist monitoring organisation Site quoted ISIS as saying in a message posted on Twitter. An ISIS radio bulletin also quoted by Site on Thursday said: “An Islamic State cell tracked and targeted an Italian crusader missionary on his way to work... shot him multiple times, leaving him critically wounded and subsequently hospitalised.”
