Bangladesh: Blogger hacked to death in Dhaka
Dhaka, Apr 7 (IBNS) The repeated killings of secular bloggers in Bangladesh continues as yet another blogger was hacked to death in broad daylight by suspected Islamist militants for expressing secular views, in Dhaka on Wednesday, according to reports.
Nazimuddin Samad, a law student, was hacked with machetes and later shot at a traffic junction, BBC reported.
He was reportedly an organiser of 'Ganajagran Manch', a secular campaigning group.
Samad was believed to be a secular person as he wrote 'I have no religion' in his Facebook profile under religious views.
