Bangladesh: Hindu Ashram volunteer Killed

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group has claimed responsibility for the killing of a Hindu monastery worker in northeastern Bangladesh, according to a US-based monitoring service.

Friday's attack on Nitya Ranjan Pandey, 60, in Pabna district is the third murder of a member of Bangladesh's religious minorities that ISIL has taken responsibility for in the past week.

Pandey, a volunteer at the Shri Shri Thakur Anukulchandra Ashram in Pabna, was attacked while taking a walk early on Friday morning."He had been working at the monastery for around 40 years. In recent years he was the head of its office staff."
