Third secular blogger hacked to death in Bangladesh

DHAKA - A masked gang wielding machetes hacked a secular blogger
to death Tuesday in northeastern Bangladesh in the third such deadly
attack since the start of the year, police said.
"Attackers wearing masks hacked Ananta Bijoy Das with machetes in
Sylhet city at around 8.30am this morning. We have learnt that he was
a writer," deputy commissioner of Sylhet police Faisal Mahmud told
AFP.
Imran Sarker, head of a Bangladeshi bloggers' association, told AFP
that Das was "an atheist and wrote blogs for Mukto-Mona," a website
which used to be moderated by Avijit Roy, a Bangladeshi-born US
citizen who was himself hacked to death in the capital Dhaka in
February.
