VOICED : Duelo nacional en Banglades tras ataque yihadista

The Bangladesh Parliament lowered its flag to half-mast to mark the start of two days of national mourning following a deadly attack in Dhaka. The attack, claimed by the Islamic State but attributed by the government to a local jihadist group, resulted in the deaths of 20 people, including foreigners. The attackers used machetes and were mostly killed, with one captured. The incident is part of a broader wave of violence in Bangladesh, targeting minorities and foreigners, which the government denies is linked to the Islamic State to avoid scaring off investors.
