A pastor in Bangladesh escaped an assassination attempt yesterday (Monday). Authorities suspect that the attack was carried out by ISIS.
According to police, three men arrived at the pastor's house and claimed they wanted to learn about Christianity. However, they quickly pulled a knife and tried to cut his throat. Father Luke Sarker's wife heard his cries for help and came running, at which point the attackers fled.
Bangladesh is a mostly Muslim country which has seen increasing incidents of violence against non-Muslims.
