Bangladesh police arrest three involved in targeting Shia mourners

Bangladeshi police has arrested three people in connection with the bomb blasts targeting the Shia community

 

The Bangladeshi police has arrested three people in connection with the bomb blasts targeting the Shia community that claimed the life of a 12-year-old boy in an attack claimed by ISIS.

The Bangladesh police arrested a string of opposition officials on Sunday, a day after the bombing of the country’s main Shia shrine that killed one person and left nearly 80 wounded.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the rare attack on the Shia community in the capital which occurred as thousands gathered for the annual Ashura procession.

The attack came hours after a suicide bombing at a Shia Muslim mosque in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province killed at least 12 people.
