Two arrested over Bangladesh blogger Niloy Neel killing - BBC NewsBangladesh 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.
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
