Buddhist monk murdered in Bangladesh

In yet another murder in Bangladesh, an elderly Buddhist monk was found hacked to death on Saturday. This is another case added to a number of murders of religious minorities and secular activists in the Muslim-majority nation. Monk, 75, appeared to have been attacked by at least four people at the Buddhist temple in Baishari, some 350km southeast of Dhaka early on Saturday morning. Police said that he became a monk a year and half ago and was getting death threats but no one took it seriously.
