On another blogger, another Bangladeshi named Ananta Bijoy Das:
Attacks on bloggers critical of Islam have taken on a disturbing regularity in Bangladesh, with yet another writer hacked to death Tuesday.
Ananta Bijoy Das, 32, was killed Tuesday morning as he left his home on his way to work at a bank, police in the northeastern Bangladeshi city of Sylhet said.
Four masked men attacked him, hacking him to death with cleavers and machetes, said Sylhet Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kamrul Ahsan.
The men then ran away. Because of the time of the morning when the attack happened, there were few witnesses. But police say they are following up on interviewing the few people who saw the incident.
Bangladesh has another tragedy to mourn, and a monster to fear and chase. My best wishes to Ananta’s family and friends, and to the Bangladeshi police who must chase down this monster, before they discover it’s a danger to them as well.
