Interview with Dr Mark Briskey

Terrorist attack on players never happened in Bangladesh. What happened now so that Australia postponed their tour in Bangladesh? Is there any real safety and security issue for Australians? Militant group Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the shooting death of an Italian aid worker in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka. Is there any connection between Bangladeshi extremist groups and IS?
