DHAKA: Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has claimed the responsibility for an attack on worshippers at a Shiite mosque in northern Bangladesh that killed one and wounded three others.
The attackers entered the mosque in Shibganj in north of Dhaka, during early evening prayers on Thursday and opened fire on the gathered worshippers before fleeing.
Television footage showed the heavily guarded Shiite mosque with broken windows and blood stains on the floor.
Police said the muezzin had been killed and three worshippers wounded in the shooting, a rare attack on minority Shiite Muslims in the mainly Sunni nation.
