Hindu Tailor Hacked To Death

Reports have it that at least two unknown assailants have hacked a Hindu tailor to death in central Bangladesh, amid a rise in attacks on religious minorities in the South Asian nation.

Police officials said they were investigating whether Saturday’s killing in Tangail was linked to religious groups suspected of a series of minority killings, or was tied to a family dispute.

Many of the killings have been blamed on or claimed by groups such as al-Qaeda or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group.
