ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the attacks marking a bloody week for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which raps up next week.
It’s also the third attack launched by the terrorist group within the past week.
ISIS is believed to have been behind the attacks at the Istanbul Airport last weekend and the siege in a Bangladesh cafe.
