Daesh to Attempt More Attacks in Bangladesh to Gain Support - Stratfor
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to the BBC, 75-year-old Maung Shue U Chak was found dead Saturday morning in a monastery in the Bandarban district. The police believe that the victim has been attacked by at least four people.

The killing comes amid a streak of hackings in the Asian country. Last week, a Sufi Muslim leader was hacked to death in northern Bangladesh.

In late April, a Hindu tailor was hacked in central Bangladesh. Daesh, banned in multiple countries including Russia, claimed responsibility for the attack. A leading gay rights activist and another man were hacked to death in the capital city of Dhaka the same week, with an al-Qaeda affiliate claiming responsibility for the attack.
