Pakistan rubbishes Dhaka's claim of ISI hand in attack

 

Pakistan rejects Bangladesh's claims of ISI involvement in Dhaka attack. Bangladesh on Sunday blamed homegrown Islamist terrorists and Pakistans spy agency ISI for the countrys worst terror attack in which 20 hostages were hacked to death, ruling out the role of the Islamic State, as the shocked nation began observing two days of national mourning.

Let me clear it again, there are no ISIS or al-Qaeda presence or existence in Bangladesh. The hostage-takers were all home-grown terrorists not members of ISIS or any other international Islamist outfits, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told PTI.

We know them (hostage-takers) along with their ancestors, they all grew here in Bangladeshthey belong to homegrown outfits like JMB (Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh), he said.
