Christian hacked to death in Bangladesh

Unidentified men hacked to death a Christian grocer near a church in Bangladesh's northwest this morning, amid growing attacks on religious minorities and secular activists by Islamist militants.

"Sunil Gomes was hacked to death at his grocery store just near a church at Bonpara village," Shafiqul Islam, deputy police chief of Natore district where the murder took place, told AFP.

Another police officer, inspector Abdur Razzak, said the motive for the killing of the 65-year-old was unclear.

But the attack was similar to those on Hindus, Buddhists and members of other religious minorities in Muslim-majority Bangladesh in recent months.

6. Tragic. And the backlash to even posting these types of incidents is more intense than the backlash

against these continuing crimes.

10. Bangladesh home minister suggests Israeli behind spate of killings

Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan has suggested an Israeli link to the recent killings of secular bloggers and minorities.

He said an opposition MP had met an Israeli intelligence agent and there was evidence of an "international conspiracy" against Bangladesh.

He gave no more evidence. Israel dismissed the claim as "utter drivel".

Critics say the government is in denial about the killings, most of which have been blamed on or claimed by Islamists.

This would normally deserve a facepalm, but this is a government minister. Either a fucking idiot, or someone who wants to covers up for the Islamists. Bangladesh deserves better than that fuckwit.
