Hindu priest killing: ISIS claims responsibility
SITE Intelligence Group of the US said on its website: "Amaq News Agency of the Islamic State (IS) reported that IS fighters in Bangladesh killed a Hindu priest in Jhenaidah, in the west of the country."
Attackers killed a Hindu priest in Bangladesh's Sadar upazila of Jhenidah on Tuesday, media reports said.
The priest was hacked to death by the attackers.
Police was quoted as saying by Prothom Alo that they recovered the body of Ananta Gopal Ganguly, aged around 70, father of three daughters and two sons.
Locals informed the police after seeing the body.
Jhenidah sadar police officer-in-charge Hasan Hafizur Rahman told the news paper the murder of the priest may have links to other killings that took place across the country in the last few months.
