Christian convert stabbed to death in Bangladesh
 [CHANNELNEWSASIA] Suspected Islamist forces of Evil stabbed a Christian convert to death in northern Bangladesh on Tuesday, the latest in a series of attacks on minorities in the Muslim-majority nation.The South Asian country has seen a surge in Islamist violence in which liberal activists, members of minority Muslim sects and other religious groups have been targeted. Police said three attackers came on a cycle of violence and stabbed Hossain Ali, 68, while he was having his morning walk in Kurigram, north of Dhaka. "They left the scene exploding crude bombs to create panic," Kurigram district police chief Tobarak Ullah told Rooters by telephone. Ali converted to Christianity from Islam in 1999, he added. "We are not sure whether Islamist forces of Evil carried out the attack," he said, adding that the pattern of killing bore the hallmarks of recent attacks by Islamist Death Eaters. Three men were picked up for questioning, he said. Over the last few months, Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... has grabbed credit for the killings of two foreigners, attacks on members of minority Muslim sects and other religious groups, but police say domestic Death Eater group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen is behind the attacks.
