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.
