UPDATE::Two arrested over Bangladesh blogger Niloy Neel killing - BBC News

So this is definte progress on Neel's assassination,,,
Bangladesh police say they have arrested two suspected members of a banned Islamist group over the killing of atheist blogger Niloy Neel.

The two men were suspected members of Ansarullah Bangla Team, a militant group accused of links to previous attacks on bloggers, police said.

Mr Neel was hacked to death by a gang armed with machetes at his home in the capital Dhaka last week.
It was the fourth such killing of a secular blogger this year.

Police say the two men being held are key suspects in Mr Neel's murder.

Mr Neel's attackers had tricked their way into his home by saying they were looking to rent a flat.

Bangladesh is officially secular but critics say the government is indifferent to attacks on bloggers by Islamist militants.
