Both al Qaida and Islamic State have claimed a series of killings in Bangladesh over the past year, attacking liberals and foreigners. An Indian interior ministry spokesman said he had seen media reports about the latest warning from al Qaida, but he had no immediate comment to offer. New Delhi, July 4 (Reuters): A regional branch of al Qaida urged Muslims in India to revolt and carry out lone wolf attacks, a US monitoring site reported, days after the rival jihadi movement Islamic State claimed responsibility for Bangladesh's worst militant attack. Only a handful is known to have tried to join Islamic State, according to Indian officials. On Friday, militants stormed a restaurant in Dhaka and killed 20 people, most of them foreigners, in an attack claimed by Islamic State.
