DHAKA, Bangladesh — A global monitoring group said the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an explosion targeting a police van in Bangladesh’s capital, but police said Monday they were not sure who was behind it. Police said Sunday night’s explosion in Dhaka’s Malibagh area left three people injured, including a police officer. After the explosion, the van caught fire. He said it was more powerful than an explosion in April in Dhaka that was also claimed by IS. Various police investigating agencies visited the explosion site and collected samples as part of their investigation.
