The recent killing of a Hindu priest in the north of Bangladesh is reflective of the continued threat of terrorism in the country. The so-called Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for more than 10 attacks since September 2015. The recent deportation of 26 Bangladeshi terrorist suspects from Singapore is evidence that a segment of the Bangladeshi diaspora community overseas is also affected by violent ideologies. With this backdrop, the effectiveness of the current counterterrorism response of the Bangladesh government appears to be inadequate.
