Homegrown Islamic State Militants

The terrorists who had mowed down 20 people in Dhaka on Friday, had uploaded the pictures of their victims on Internet which were used by the terrorists of Islamic State of Syria and Iraq to claim responsibility and get attention, a top official of Bangladesh has told NDTV.

The terrorists who launched Friday's attack on a Dhaka restaurant, slaughtering 20 hostages, were members of a homegrown Bangladeshi militant group and not followers of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, a senior minister of Bangladesh has said.

President Barack Obama urged Americans to remain vigilant against the potential threat of homegrown Islamic State militants on Friday due to the difficulty of tracking "lone wolf" attackers like those who went on a shooting spree in California.

Australia is confronting what authorities say is a growing threat from homegrown Islamist radicals and fears a new danger is about to rumble over the horizon - would-be militants hooking up with biker gangs.
